Abstract: Injection molding apparatus having a number of heated nozzles extending in a row from an elongated heated melt distribution manifold. Each heated nozzle has a pair of mounting flanges extending outwardly in opposite directions adjacent its rear end. Hollow insulating and locating bushings extend forwardly from the mounting flanges to the cooled cavity plate. The combination of the mounting flanges and the insulating and locating bushings accurately locates the heated nozzles very closely together in a row and spaces the heated elongated melt distribution manifold rearwardly from the cooled cavity plate. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The operation of multistage catalytic hydrocarbon conversion system in which hydrocarbons flow serially through at least two reaction zones is improved by using staggered by-passing of a portion of the change to each zone such that the first zone processes only a first portion of the feed and the second zone processes the remaining portion of the feed and at least a portion of the effluent from the first zone. Where three reaction zones are used, processing of the effluent stream from the first reaction zone is split between the second and third reaction zones so that a portion of the charge to each zone always is directed around the zone and processed in the next reaction zone. One portion of the effluent stream is combined with hydrocarbons that bypassed the first reaction zone, and the combined stream is passed to the second reaction zone. The other portion of the first reaction zone effluent stream and at least a portion of the effluent stream of the second reaction zone are passed to the third reaction zone. This invention is applicable to processes where the first and second reaction zones are susceptible to pinning in that this invention decreases the mass flow through the first and second reaction zones while nevertheless maintaining high hydrocarbon conversion capacity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A ball-covering needlefelt produced by needling a fibre batt in a range of angles including a plurality of angles which are non-perpendicular to the plane of the batt. The range of angles is preferably achieved by the batt being curved during needling, the batt conveniently being curved in its direction of travel through the needling machine. The needleboard of the needling machine is preferably correspondingly curved. The needling process produces a needlefelt having a high degree of fibre entanglement (comparable to woven ball-covering felts) and enables achievement of characteristics necessary for good wear and abrasion resistance without the excessive consolidation in conventional ball-covering needlefelts that leads to loss of flexibility (tending to faulty ball covering) and poor dynamic characteristics (making such balls unsuitable for professional use). The invention is particularly applicable to the manufacture of championship-quality tennis balls. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A channel configuration of a digital mobile communications system comprises two or more lower-rate transmission channels for each high-speed radio interface traffic channel between a base station and an interworking function. Radio frames, such as EDGE frames, are transmitted over a radio interface traffic channel. Transmission frames, such as TRAU frames, are transmitted on a transmission channels. The base station and the interworking function provide the transmission frames to be transmitted with frame and/or channel numbering which indicates the order of the transmitted frames and/or the transmission channel via which the transmission frame was transmitted. According to the invention, the base station does not restore the order of the downlink transmission frames on the basis of said frame and/or channel numbering but it places the data of the transmission frames and at least the frame and/or channel numbering in the payload of the downlink radio frame to be transmitted. Instead, the mobile station, which extracts the data and the frame and/or channel numbering of the transmission frames from the downlink radio frames, restores the correct order of the data on the basis of this numbering. The invention simplifies the structure of a base station.

Title: Fremgangsmåte og anordning for lagdelt modulasjon.

IPC: H04L27/34
Filed: 2004-03-02
Abstract: Foreliggende søknad beskriver forbedringer i lagdelt modulasjon (LM). Foreliggende oppfinnelse beskriver to implementasjoner av LM, henholdsvis ved bruk av enkle og multiple transpondere pr. signalfrekvens. Lagdelt hierarkisk 8PSK (H-8PSK) er et spesialtilfelle av LM. Ved å gjenkode høyprioritets (HP)-delen av et H-8PSK-signal, kan LM forbedre et H-8PSK-signals bærer-til-støy- forhold (CNR). LM kan datamaskinsimuleres og et signal med to lag kan sekvensielt demoduleres med en forutsagt CNR-ytelse. Et LM-signal kan simuleres 10 ved bruk av virkelige signaler for "off-line" prosessering. I tillegg kan en signalprosesseringsanordning prosessere virkelige LM-signaler emulert fra virkelige satellittsignaler.
