IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2003-10-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for improving the
waveform at a receiver. More specifically, the present invention relates
to a system adapted to modify at least one signal in anticipation of
channel attenuation and delay. The present invention comprises a
memory adapted to store at least one coefficient that is pre-determined
based on at least one expected degradation characteristic of a
channel; and a pre-emphasizer communicating with at least the
memory and the channel, and adapted to modify the at least one signal
using the at least one coefficient prior to transmission of the at least
one signal over the channel, compensating for the at least one
expected degradation characteristic.

Abstract: A door lock/unlock system for a vehicle is comprised
of a door lock state detector (2: 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) for
detecting a door look/unlock state, a door open state
detector (3: 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) for detecting a door

an open/close state is changed from an open state to a
closed state, to maintain the state of the door look
mechanism when the first lock/unlock state corresponds to
the second look/unlock state, and to set the state of the
door look mechanism at the first look/unlock state when
the first lock/unlock state does not corresponds to the
second look/unlock state.
