Abstract: A tuning device includes an analog-to-digital converter (14a) for converting sound waves propagated from a piano (2) to an audio signal in synchronism with a sampling signal (SML) and a data processor (1b) for visualizing a difference between a target pitch of a tone and an actual pitch of the tone; since the sampling signal (SML) is less accurate in frequency, the data processor (1b) previously determines the frequency difference between a design frequency and an actual frequency of the sampling signal (SML) by using a calendar clock signal (CLD) as a measure (t); the data processor (1b) eliminates noise due to the sampling signal (SML) from visual images (32) of the pitch difference, and makes the visual images more accurate.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for implementing an authentication in a generic authentication architecture. The method includes the following processes: an EAC receives an authentication request from an entity sending the authentication request; the EAC acquires authentication mechanisms supported by the entity sending the authentication request, and authentication mechanisms supported by an operator's network; the EAC selects an authentication mechanism supported by both the operator's network and the entity sending the authentication request from the authentication mechanisms acquired; and the EAC performs an authentication with the entity sending the authentication request by using the authentication mechanism selected. With the method provided by the present invention, the process of selecting an authentication mechanism is added in the authentication, so that the generic authentication architecture may be widely applied; further, the coexistence of multiple authentication mechanisms will provide many more selections to the network configuration and application of the operator. Embodiments of the present invention further disclose a generic authentication architecture, in which the application server of network not only provides services to common users but also requests services from other servers, so that various resources of operator's network may be fully utilized.

Abstract: A Doppler spread value of a channel in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system is estimated, wherein the channel comprises a plurality of carrier frequencies. Estimating involves selecting a set of two or more carrier frequencies from the plurality of carrier frequencies. A Doppler spread value is estimated for each of the selected carrier frequencies. An estimate of the Doppler spread value of the channel is produced by combining the estimated Doppler spread values of each of the selected carrier frequencies. For example, the Doppler spread value of the channel may be estimated by averaging the estimated Doppler spread values of each of the selected carrier frequencies.

Abstract: An inflatable compaction tool for consolidating a composite material inside a faceted hollow or tubular mold for a composite part is made from an elastic material. The compaction tool includes relatively flat wall segments conjoined by corner segments that define a sealed chamber. The wall segments curve away from the mold surface toward the midpoint of each wall segment, so that as a pressurized fluid is introduced into the compaction tool, a component of the force exerted on the tool interior surface is transmitted through the wall segments toward the corner segments. Thus, during initial inflation, the corner segments are forced toward the corner regions of the mold before the wall segments contact the composite material, firmly compressing the composite material into the corner regions of the mold before the friction of the wall segments against the composite material inhibits expansion of the corner segments into the mold corner regions.

One or more sub-hypotheses may further be formed for each hypothesis, with each sub-hypothesis corresponding to specific assignments of a number of transmit antennas to the one or more terminals in the hypothesis. The performance of each sub-hypothesis is then evaluated, and one of the evaluated sub-hypotheses is selected based on their performance. The terminal(s) in the selected sub-hypothesis are then scheduled for data transmission, and data is thereafter coded, modulated, and transmitted to each scheduled terminal from one or more transmit antenna assigned to the terminal.
