Abstract: A method is provided for estimating the SIR of signals transmitted between a mobile unit and a base station, wherein the signals comprise pilot and data symbol blocks transmitted during each of a succession of time slots. Initially, the signals of a group of slots are directed to the receiver, which may be either the mobile unit receiver or the base station receiver. SIR estimates and corresponding power changes are computed for each slot in the initial group, employing only respective pilot symbols thereof. The SIR estimates derived from the initial slot group are used to compute the delay time of power control commands sent from the receiver to the transmitter, in order to adjust the power level thereof. The SIR for signals of a specified slot, which follows the initial slot group, is then estimated from the time delay, from the pilot block of the specified slot, and from the data block of the slot immediately preceding the specified slot, collectively.

Abstract: Lighting systems comprising a spectrum former upstream from a reflective pixelated spatial light modulator (reflective SLM), the SLM reflecting substantially all of the light in the spectrum into at least two different light paths, that do not reflect back to the light source or the spectrum former. At least one of the light paths acts as a projection light path and transmits desired light out of the lighting system. The lighting systems provide virtually any desired color(s) and intensity(s) of light, and avoid overheating problems by deflecting unwanted light and other electromagnetic radiation out of the system or to a heat management system. The systems can be part of another system, a luminaire, or any other suitable light source. The systems can provide virtually any desired light, from the light seen at the break of morning to specialized light for treating cancer or psoriasis, and may change color and intensity at speeds that are perceptually instantaneous.

Abstract: Microwell biochips ( 11 ) are formed from a thin flat plate ( 13 ) of polymeric material having a plurality of regularly spaced holes ( 15 ) that extend completely therethrough and create microwells. The lower end of each hole is closed by a microporous, hydrophobic, polymeric membrane ( 17 ) laminated to the undersurface of the plate which retains an aqueous test solution in the wells until a vacuum is applied to the undersurface thereof to effect draining of the solution and of any wash solution that might be subsequently added. A spot of polymerizing isocyanate-functional hydrogel is applied generally centrally to the porous membrane surface at the bottom of each well in a manner so as to cover only a minor portion of the surface and out of contact with the well sidewalls, thus leaving substantial surface area through which drainage can be readily effected. Biological capture agents are associated with the polymerizing hydrogel so as to become immobilized as a part thereof.

Abstract: A data switch (4) is proposed which can be operated such that it generates a MA table of MAC addresses of devices associated with some of its ports (9, 13, 15, 17, 19), but not the MAC addresses associated with one of the ports (11). Packets received by the switch, other than from the port (11), are assumed to be destined for the port (11) and are transmitted via the port (11). If the port (11) is connected to a network, and all the other ports are connected to a relatively small number of devices, such as one device per port, then the memory requirement to store the MA table is dramatically reduced.
