Title: Modulation apparatus for reducing time delay of on-channel repeater in terrestrial digital tv broadcasting system
Inventor: PARK SUNG-IK
IPC: H04B17/40
Filed: 2004-04-19
Abstract: Provided is a modulation apparatus that can reduce time delay of on-channel repeaters in a terrestrial digital television broadcasting system. The time delay is caused by a filter during the modulation operation in the on-channel repeaters. The modulation apparatus of the present research includes: a baseband signal forming unit for forming a baseband signal by combining the output signals of an equalization unit with the pre-defined field/segment synchronization signals in the on-channel repeaters; a pilot inserting unit for inserting a pilot signal to the baseband signal; an up-sampling unit for up-sampling the baseband signal with the pilot signal; a VSB filtering unit for filtering the up-sampled baseband signal based on a Window technique and/or an Equi-Ripple filter to thereby form an in- phase (I) signal and a quadrature (Q) signal; an up-converting unit for up-converting the frequencies of the filtered I and Q signals to frequencies of an intermediate frequency (IF) band; an adding unit for adding the up-converted L and Q signals and converting a resultant signal into a digital VSB signal of the IF band; and a digital-to-analogue converting unit for converting the digital signal of the IF band to an analogue signal.

Abstract: A game board for playing a game thereon using a magnet sensitive game piece. The game board includes a substantially flexible and substantially non-magnetic first sheet of material defining a first sheet first surface and a substantially opposed first sheet second surface. The substantially flexible and substantially permanently magnetized second sheet of material defines a second sheet first surface and a substantially opposed second sheet second surface.

Abstract: A system and method for attention training includes a trainer unit used by a trainer and one or more trainee units, each vibrationally linked to a traine e. The trainer unit is used to send alert and reward signals, such as coded rad io signals, to the trainee units, which consequently transmits alert and reward vibrations, respectively, to be felt by the trainee. In some implementations , the trainer observes the trainee behaving in an undesired manner, sends an alert signal via the trainer unit to the trainee unit to transmit an alert vibration to the trainee. If the trainee ceases behaving in the undesired manner, a reward signal is sent via the trainer unit to the trainee unit to generate a reward vibration to be felt by the trainee. Reward signals can be counted to track progress by the trainee.
