Granted: 2002-02-05
Abstract: A power-conserving time division multiple access (TDMA) radiotelephone system is disclosed in which a cluster of subscriber stations, remote from a base station, employs a common pool of frequency-agile modems each of which digitally synthesizes, on a time slot-by-time slot basis, the different channel-identifying intermediate needed to support communications between several of the subscriber stations and the base station. Power conservation is facilitated inter alia by controlling the assignment of modems to calls, maintaining unassigned modems in a powered-down state and by controlling the number of calls using the same time slot. Delay in assigning a powered-down modem to a call is eliminated by making available to all modems the highest quality synchronization information obtained by any of the active modems.

Abstract: The fluids to be studied are placed in a chamber (13) of variable volume delimited by a piston (5) which is displacable by hydraulic means (24) within the cavity of a body (1). Behind a transparent window (8) closing the end of the chamber opposite the piston, an endoscope (18) is placed for viewing the chamber interior and, in particular, the openings of two diametrically opposite ducts (14, 15) which link the enclosure to the exterior. The body (1) can pivot about an axis (26), thereby enabling a given stratified multiphase fluid phase to be balanced and sampled, by having the opening of one of the ducts (14, 15) placed within the phase. A pressure sensor (18) is incorporated into the wall itself of the piston so as to reduce virtually any of the lost volume capable of distorting the measurements. A single body can contain two enclosures arranged side by side, at least one having a transparent wall. The device of the invention is for studying fluids, especially petroleum fluids.

Title: Method and apparatus for remotely calibrating a phased array system used for satellite communication
Inventor: SILVERSTEIN SETH DAVID
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 1996-06-27
Granted: 2005-04-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for remotely calibrating a system having a plurality of N elements, such as a phased array system, is provided. The method includes generating coherent signals, such as a calibration signal and a reference signal having a predetermined spectral relationship between one another. The calibration signal which is applied to each respective one of the plurality of N elements can be orthogonally encoded based on the entries of a predetermined invertible encoding matrix, such as a binary Hadamard matrix, to generate first and second sets of orthogonally encoded signals. The first and second sets of orthogonally encoded signals and the reference signal are transmitted to a remote location. The transmitted first and second sets of orthogonally, encoded signals are coherently detected at the remote location. The coherently detected first and second sets of orthogonally encoded signals are then decoded using the inverse of the predetermined invertible encoding matrix to generate a set of decoded signals. The set of decoded signals is then processed for generating calibration data for each element of the system.
