Abstract: Antenna diversity receiving system comprising an antenna device including a plurality of FM antennas as well as controllable switching means for sequentially switching through one of said plurality of FM antennas via an antenna cable to a receiver upon reception of a switching control signal. The receiver comprises a multipath detector coupled to a pulse generator for generating a pulse signal to be used as such switching control signal. To secure accurate detection of said switching control signal the pulse generator is coupled to a pulse shaper to convert the pulse signal of the pulse generator into a pulse signal pair comprising a first signal pulse followed by a second signal pulse having a signal polarity opposite to the signal polarity of the first signal pulse, said pulse signal pair having a waveform varying symmetrically around a reference level and being supplied through the antenna cable to the antenna device. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A film for protecting a display surface of a liquid crystal display is provided, which contains a polymer film having a coefficient of bending stress k as expressed by the formula: k=Eh<3>, wherein E is a tensile elastic modulus (N/mm<2>) in a machine direction and h is a thickness (mm), of not less than 0.01 (N.mm), and which shows an amount of moisture permeation at 35 DEG C, 80% RH (relative humidity) for 72 hours of not less than 100 g/m<2>.72 hr. According to the present invention, the protection film can be applied to the display surface of a liquid crystal module with superior workability during assembling. The film prevents occurrence of changes in optical hue (color shading) on the display surface in the state of actual use upon peeling off of the protection film after distribution process.

Abstract: To secure a thin film (10) to a rigid carrier (11) for subsequent exposure to processing chemicals, the thin film (10) is initially adhered to the rigid carrier (11) with a light adhesive (12) from which the thin film (10) may later be peeled. Then a photoresist (17) is applied over the thin film (10) extending over a peripheral region (15) of the carrier (11) along the perimeter of the thin film (10). The photoresist (17) is exposed to actinic radiation in a pattern such that when the photoresist (17) is subsequently developed, a perimeter region (17b) of the photoresist (17) remains over the perimeter region (15) of the carrier (11) and extending inward over the periphery of the thin film (10) sufficiently to secure the thin film (10) during conveyorized chemical processing. Finally the resist is stripped to release the thin film (10) and the thin film peeled from the adhesive pattern (12). <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method is provided for the catalytic conversion of nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. A reducing agent is added in a controlled manner upstream of a denitrification catalyst, as seen in exhaust gas flow direction, and in dependence on a nitrogen oxide concentration. The reducing agent is added in a superstoichiometric amount in relation to the nitrogen oxide content if an operating parameter and/or a value derived from the operating parameter falls below or exceeds a threshold value. The addition of the reducing agent is then terminated or continued in a substoichiometric manner. The invention provides a measure for obtaining an extremely high average nitrogen oxide conversion, especially under varying operating conditions of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A method and circuit for adaptively estimating channel conditions of a pilot channel in a wireless communication system. The method includes estimating channel statistics of the pilot channel, and adaptively filtering the pilot channel in response to the estimated channel statistics. The estimation is performed by filtering a channel signal derived from the pilot channel to determine an estimated channel mean and an estimated channel covariance. In order to perform the adaptive filtering, the present invention partitions the pilot channel into one or more time slots and weights each time slot according to the channel statistics. Thus, an advantage of the present invention is that it automatically and continually updates the pilot filter parameters in order to optimize the pilot filter performance over a broad range of channel conditions.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of fueling gas turbines from natural gas reserves with relatively low methane concentrations. The invention uses such reserves to generate electric power. The invention permits the use of these reserves at significantly lower cost than by producing pipeline natural gas to fuel gas turbines to generate electric power. These reserves currently generally are used only after the removal of impurities to produce pipeline natural gas quality turbine fuel. The latter current technology is capital intensive, and at current natural gas prices, economically unattractive. The process of the invention can remove the impurities from the gas from the natural gas reserve necessary for protection of the environment and leaves inert gasses in the fuel in an amount which will increase the output of a gas turbine for the generation of power by about 5 to about 20%.

Abstract: A method of heating a surface provides for a central fuel rich jet (40) having a peripheral shroud (41) of substantially stoichiometric combustion products and one or more fuel lean jets (30) each having a peripheral shroud (31) of substantially stoichiometric combustion products. The fuel lean jets (30) are placed around the periphery of the central fuel rich jet (40). The fuel lean jet or jets each having shrouds of substantially stoichiometric combustion products and a careful choice of relative velocities for each results in minimizing the mixing of the fuel rich and fuel lean jets until they are at or near the surface of the material to be melted. The placement of the fuel lean jet and fuel rich jets may be reversed in applications where an oxidizing atmosphere is required at the surface to be heated.
