Title: Derivation of eigenvectors for spatial processing in mimo communication systems
Inventor: KETCHUM JOHN W
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2003-12-09
Abstract: Techniques for deriving eigenvectors based on steered reference and used for spatial processing. A steered reference is a pilot transmission on one eigenmode of a MIMO channel per symbol period using a steering vector for that eigenmode. The steered reference is used to estimate both a matrix .SIGMA. of singular values and a matrix U of left eigenvectors of a channel response matrix H. A matrix U with orthogonalized columns may be derived based on the estimates of .SIGMA. and U, e.g., using QR factorization, minimum square error computation, be used for matched filtering of data transmission received via a first link. The estimate U of or the matrix U may also be used for spatial processing of data transmission on a second link or polar decomposition. The estimates of .SIGMA. and U (or the estimate of .SIGMA. and the matrix U) may (for reciprocal first and second links).

Abstract: The invention relates to an auto-injector (1) for administering a dose of a liquid medicament (M), comprising: - an elongate housing (2), a syringe (7) with a hollow needle (9) and a bung (10) for displacing the medicament (M), wherein the syringe (7) is slidably arranged with respect to the housing (2), - spring means (14) for pushing the needle (9) from a covered position inside the housing (2) into an advanced position past the proximal end (P) and for supplying the dose of medicament (M), - activating means (4) for locking and releasing the spring means (14). The spring means (14) is a torsion spring (14) grounded at one end in the housing (2) and at the other end in a lead nut (15) rotatable about a longitudinal axis but axially constrainable. The lead nut (15) is arranged for translatively moving a piston rod (11) by means of a lead screw thread (16). The piston rod (11) is prevented from rotating relative to the housing and arranged to be coupled to the bung (10) in order to push it forwards. The lead nut (15) is engaged to the housing (2) in an initial position prior to manual operation of the activating means (4) in a manner to prevent rotation and disengaged from the housing (2) by the activating means (4) upon manual operation. The activating means is a trigger button (4), arranged at a distal end (D) of the housing (2). Prior to manual operation the trigger button (4), the piston rod (11) and the lead nut (15) are coupled for joint translation in proximal direction (P). In the initial position the lead nut (15) is engaged to the housing (2) by at least one spline feature (41). The lead nut (15) is arranged to disengage from the housing (2) on translation in proximal direction (P) from the initial position.

Patent CA-2821909-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EDDY LEONARD BRUCE
IPC: A23K1/16
Filed: 2013-07-25
Abstract: A method for producing biochar particles or pellets which use sulphur and other additives. The method includes producing a mixture with biochar and additives selected from sulphur, lignin, and gluten. The mixture is mixed with water and passed through an extruder to produce an extrudate. The extrudate is then cut into pellets. The pellets are then tumbled/spun with each other and heated to result in mostly spheroidal pellets whose mechanical characteristics allow them to be used with well-known agricultural equipment. The biochar can be produced with sulphur incorporated as an outer coating. To produce this sulphur coated biochar, the method includes feeding a biomass feedstock to a pyrolysis reactor, pyrolyzing the feedstock into biochar particles, size-sorting the biochar particles, and coating the biochar particles with the sulphur coating material.

Abstract: The interior of a storage tank or permeable storage tank is filled with a storage composite (11), and one cylindrical rib (24, 28) is positioned on each of the lower surface and the upper surface of partitions (12) so as to project therefrom. Funnel-shaped end spacers (13) have a large-diameter tube (13a) for engaging with and connecting to the cylindrical ribs on the upper and lower surfaces of the partitions, and a small-diameter tube (13b) having a smaller diameter than the large-diameter tube. Both ends of cylindrical connecting spacers (14) engage with the small-diameter tube of a pair of end spacers, and given that the length of one side of a partition is S, then the diameter (T) of the section in which the cylindrical rib engages the large-diameter tube is set within the range of 0.40S-0.95S. Multiple levels of horizontal connected units (33), configured by connecting a plurality of partitions arranged within the same horizontal plane to one another, are provided, and end spacers and connecting spacers are interposed between the horizontal connected units of multiple levels. The production cost of storage tanks and permeable storage tanks is reduced, and the number of worker hours required for production of molds for forming these members is reduced, by using the comparatively simply shaped partitions, end spacers, connecting spacers and the like.
