Abstract: Link robustness, chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion (PMD)
immunity can be improved in fiber optical system by using a method for receiving an
optical double sideband signal over an optical fiber system, comprising the steps of
splitting the received optical double sideband signal into an upper sideband signal and a
lower sideband signal, photodetecting the upper sideband and the lower sideband,
equalizing the photodetected upper sideband signal and the lower sideband signal, and
combining the equalized upper sideband signal with the equalized lower sideband signal.
While PMD compensation is envisioned as a major application, one may also use the
method and system for chromatic dispersion compensation or dispersion slope
compensation in high bit rate systems, i.e. using dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) for
coarse compensation and diversity receiver with electrical equalizer for fine tuning.

Abstract: There are provided a method and unit (1) for
producing highly abrasion-resistant protective coverings,
in particular for floor and work surfaces. The method
includes preparing a mixture (3) of a powdered abrasion-resistant
substance (4) (e.g. corundum) evenly dispersed

polymerization and/or cross-linking; applying the mixture
(3) to a substantially dry sheet material (7) (in
particular, nonimpregnated paper or a dried
preimpregnated material with a low wet residue); and
drying the sheet material (7) coated with the mixture
(3). Tests have shown the covering so formed imparts to
the surfaces on which it is applied an abrasion
resistance superior to that obtainable using conventional
methods (e.g. in which the abrasion-resistant powder is
applied, pure or dispersed in a resin, to a wet
preimpregnated material).

Abstract: A method and a device for detecting if an object is in proximity to the device, wherein
sound (audio) transducers already found in the device are used to realize the proximity
detection function, along with digital signal processing or equivalent means. The audio
transducers are preferably those designed for use with human hearing and speaking
capabilities in the range of about 20 Hz to about 20kHz, and need not be specially
designed transducers. The method includes steps of generating a measurement signal;
driving an output acoustic transducer of the device with the measurement signal;
monitoring an input acoustic transducer of the device to detect the measurement signal;
and determining that an object is in proximity to the device based on a detected alteration
of the measurement signal. The device may comprise a mobile telephone, such as a
cellular telephone, or a personal communicator. When the device includes a mobile
telephone, the step of determining can be used to verify that a handsfree mode of
operation can be entered, and/or to set a volume of a signal driving a speaker, and/or to
select, modify, or tune an audio processing technique. The step of determining can also
be used to automatically enter a handset mode of operation from a handsfree mode of
operation. The steps of monitoring and determining include steps of operating plural
adaptive filters in parallel on the same input data, with different step sizes, for generating
first and second impulse response estimates, respectively, and comparing a difference
between the first and second impulse response estimates to a threshold.
