Abstract: A deskew buffer 410 arrangement in a CDMA receiver allows for accurate combining of symbols from a plurality of demodulator fingers, 402 and 404, without any symbol losses when the data rate is changed. A single deskew buffer 410 is coupled to a plurality of demodulator fingers, each of which demodulate an assigned multipath. The symbols are written into the deskew buffer 410 according to a PN count value modified by a predetermined bit pattern. The demodulator finger is able to demodulate a plurality of data rates corresponding to a plurality of Walsh lengths. Each data rate is assigned a corresponding deskew index. The PN count value represents an address within the deskew buffer 410. The lower bits of the PN count, where the number of bits corresponds to the deskew index, are truncated and replaced with the predetermined bit pattern. In one embodiment the predetermined bit pattern is all ones.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting errors in a data
packet being transmitted as a set of smaller data cells by
performing operations on the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) values
of the individual cells. An error detection apparatus initializes
a memory area with a first value. The apparatus generates a CRC
value for a first data cell. The apparatus combines the first
value and the CRC value for the first cell in a XOR operation and
the apparatus stores the result in a memory location. For
subsequent cells in the data packet, the apparatus generates a
cell CRC value, shifts the value in the memory location twelve
times, and replaces the shifted value in the memory location with
a new value generated from a XOR operation performed on the
shifted value and the cell CRC value. The apparatus compares the
final value in the memory location with an end comparison value
and generates an error signal if the final and comparison values
are different.

Abstract: An alignment system for an ophthalmic instrument comprises an
optical axis along which an operator can directly view the patient's eye and the
patient can fixate on a dark fixation target surrounded by a bright background that
helps to illuminate the eye for operator viewing. A position detection system
utilizing stored geometrical relationships determined by multiple regression during
instrument calibration compu tes X-Y-Z alignment status of the instrument relative
to a patient's eye based on local x -y position information from a pair of lateral
detectors receiving corneally reflected light from a corresponding pair of lateral
light sources. A heads -up display im age is provided along an optical axis of the
instrument for supplying instructive cues to an operator for moving the instrument
to achieve alignment based on signal information from the position detection
system, whereby the operator sees both a direct mac ro-image of the patient's eye
and the display image. The alignment system is particularly suitable for use in
hand-held ophthalmic instruments.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for tuning dielectric antennas designed for
operation especially in the microwave range, and an antenna structure. An antenna
is tuned by removing material (211) from a dielectric block (210) located between
conductive elements, whereby the resonance frequency of the antenna increases.
The conductive elements (220, 230) on opposing surfaces of the dielectric block are
advantageously shaped identical and located symmetrically with respect to each
other so that the tuning of the antenna will not affect the other electrical characteristics
of the antenna apart from the resonance frequency. With the method according
to the invention there is no risk of producing conductive chips resulting from the
working of metallic elements, the tuning of the antenna becomes accurate, and
structural faults in the medium will be automatically compensated for.

unit (2) controlled by a gain control signal and a reverse
path unit (6) comprising a filter unit (8) with variable
time constant. A control unit (13) produces the gain control
signal as well as a reverse path control signal (S) which

capacitances (10) in such a way that the time constant of
the filter unit (8) varies essentially proportionally with
the gain of the variable amplifier unit (2).Thereby the gain
of the feedback circuit as a function of the frequency
retains its shape with varying gain. As the reverse path
control signal (S) can be produced from different inputs
selectable by selectors (20a, 20b) in the control unit (13)
and due to the adaptability of the reverse path unit (6) and
other features the analog base band unit is suited for the
