Abstract: An antenna switch diversity algorithm, and systems and methods to provide antenna diversity by implementing the algorithm in, for example, an IEEE 802.11a compliant environment, are presented. In accordance with the algorithm, one antenna of at least two antennas is designated as a default antenna at a communications device that sends and receives transmit and receive packets. The default antenna designation is changed depending on long-term and short-term learning processes implemented in, for example, software and hardware. The long-term and short-term learning processes analyze packet transmission and reception results of the antennas. The antenna switch diversity algorithm is applicable to multiple antennas.

Abstract: A method and modem for communicating serial input data over a transmission link are disclosed. Serial input data is partitioned into parallel data elements prior to rotation by an invertible linear mapping. Computationally efficient multi-rate wavelet filter banks are employed in a receiver for analyzing a received signal. Self-interference components are calculated in the receiver per sub-band and tap-weights for the filter banks are derived as a function over the range of self-interference values. A weighted sum is formed and subtracted from the delayed, received signal to eliminate the interference, and is removed from the recovered signal.

Abstract: A method of detecting β-D-ribofuranosidase activity in bacterial samples includes the step of incubating a sample to allow bacterial growth in the presence of chromogenic β-D-ribofuranosidase substrate, the cleavage products of which produce an indicator, for instance observable visually. The substrate may be incorporated into solid growth media such as agar. It is of particular utility for detecting bacteria from the genera Yersinia, Shigella, Vibrio, and species Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Arcanobacterium haemolytica. The substrate may be a catechol compound, or an indoxyl compound.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to methods for processing a solid material (M1X) comprising a solid solution of a non-metal species (X) in a metal or semi-metal (M1) or a compound between the non-metal species and the metal or semi-metal is immersed in a molten salt (M2Y). A cathodic potential is applied to the material to remove a portion of the non-metal species by electro-deoxidation. To remove the non-metal species at lower concentrations, a source of a reactive metal (M3) is immersed in the molten salt and is electronically connected to the material. Reactions occur at the material, where the non-metal species dissolves in the salt, and at the reactive metal, which reacts with the non-metal species dissolved in the salt to form a reaction product more stable than a compound between the non-metal species and the metal or semi-metal (M1). The non-metal species is thus removed from the solid material.

Abstract: Two major components of the brush (1) comprise differing plastics which do not bond during pressure injection molding. They are held together by friction and/or interlocking. An independent claim is included for the method of making the toothbrush. In a first stage, a first molding is made from one plastic. Then in a second stage the other molding is injected, using a second plastic which does not bond to the first during the injection operation. Preferred features: One part holds the bristles (3), the other (2) forms a handle. Interlocking, firm connection is enhanced by a form of shrink-fitting. Inter-engaging parts interlock together. Projections and recesses interlock. The plastics have differing shrinkage. Moldings may comprise two or more plastic components not bonding with each other. In the method, the first injection is made with plastic of lower shrinkage. In a specific implementation the first injection employs styrene acrylonitrile, the second, polypropylene.
