Title: Dtv receiving system and method of processing dtv signal
Inventor: LEE HYOUNG GON
IPC: H04N7/01
Filed: 2008-04-04
Granted: 2012-05-29
Abstract: A digital television (DTV) receiving system includes a tuner, a demodulator, a known data detector, an equalizer, a transmission detector, and a block decoder. The tuner receives a DTV signal having a data frame in which main and mobile service data are multiplexed. The demodulator demodulates the DTV signal, and the known data detector detects known data included in the mobile service data. The equalizer equalizes the demodulated DTV signal using the detected known data, and the transmission parameter detector detects an error correction mode from the equalized DTV signal. Finally, the block decoder decodes the equalized DTV signal for error correction using the detected error correction mode.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une lentille intraoculaire comportant un élément diffractif avec une puissance d'addition relativement faible. La puissance d'addition peut être inférieure à environ 2 dioptres, peut être inférieure à environ 1 dioptre, ou peut être comprise entre 0,5 et 2,5 dioptres, ou entre 1,0 et 2,0 dioptres, ou entre 1,5 et 2,0 dioptres, ou entre 1,0 et 1,5 dioptres.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la profondeur de focalisation est définie en termes de valeur seuil de fonction de transfert de modulation (FTM) à une fréquence spatiale particulière. Le seuil peut être un seuil absolu, tel que 0,10, 0,15, 0,17, 0,20, 0,25 ou 0,30, ou peut être un seuil relatif, tel qu'un pourcentage de la valeur crête. La fréquence spatiale peut être 25 paires de lignes/mm, 50 paires de lignes/mm, 100 paires de lignes/mm, ou toute valeur appropriée.

Abstract: Techniques for sending a message for random access by a user equipment (UE) are described. In an aspect, the UE may send the message on a control channel for random access and may send a reserved channel identifier to indicate the message being sent on the control channel. In another aspect, the UE may send the message in a protocol data unit (PDU) and may send additional information (e.g., a buffer status report) in the PDU if it can accommodate the additional information. In yet another aspect, the UE may generate a short message authentication code for integrity protection (MAC-I) for the message. The short MAC-I may have a smaller size and may be used to authenticate the UE. In yet another aspect, the UE may send a UE ID of one of multiple types for random access and may convey the UE ID type via a format field in the message.

Title: Method and device for reprocessing co2-containing exhaust gases
Inventor: MOELLER ROLAND
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 2008-12-18
Granted: 2013-04-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reprocessing CO2-containing exhaust gases in a multistage reduction process. The CO2-containing exhaust gas is conducted in the counter stream to a solid mass stream of inert bulk material and organic material that can be thermally decomposed through a plurality of zones (4, 3, 2, 1) into a pressure equalization region and is thereby converted into pyrolysis gases. In the flow direction of the solid mass stream in a fuel gas production stage (1) at 250 -700°C, the organic matter is thermally decomposed under reducing conditions into short-chained hydrocarbons, hydrogen and carbon monoxide to produce coke and residue. In an intermediate stage (2) with increasing temperature, oxidation of the pyrolysis coke is carried out, wherein the developing carbon monoxide is suctioned off counter to the solid mass stream in the direction of the fuel gas production stage (1). In a carbon monoxide production stage (3) at 800 - 1,600°C, the remaining coke residue is converted with carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide by setting the pressure and temperature according to the Boudouard equilibrium. In a cooling stage (4), the developing solid residual material and the bulk material are cooled in the CO2 counter stream to below 100°C and are separated, wherein the bulk material is returned to the cycle.

Abstract: An electrical connector forms electrical contact by tightening of a movable, electrically-conductive spiral around un-insulated wire or wires. The spiral coils around the wire multiple times and tightens on the wire(s) when either one or the other end, or both ends, of the spiral is/are rotated relative to the other. One region of the spiral is preferably fixed to an insulating housing, while another region of the spiral may be rotated for the tightening on the wire and then preferably latched to the housing so that \the spiral remains in the tightened condition. A terminal end may extend from the spiral, or connectors without a terminal end may be used to electrically connect wires to each other that extend from and to other equipment not located on the connector itself. Multiple spirals may be provided in one connector, including spirals that tighten around separate wires at opposite ends of the connector. The connectors may be tightened quickly by hand, without tools, as one hand may grasp the housing or a housing portion, while the terminal end or another housing portion fixed to an end of the spiral (and consequently the spiral coils along with it) is twisted by the other hand.

Abstract: Balloon catheters (1), and medical devices including balloon catheters, are provided that comprise a balloon assembly (5) disposed at the distal end of an elongated tubular member (6). The balloon (5), when in the inflated state, includes a body fluid lumen (30) that extends longitudinally through the balloon (5) and is open at the proximal end of the balloon and the distal end of the balloon. In some aspects, the outer surface (45) of the balloon is contiguous from the proximal end to the distal end of the balloon when the balloon is inflated.  In other aspects, an endoluminal prosthesis (20), for example, a stent that can optionally include a prosthetic valve, surrounds the balloon assembly (5) and is adjacent to the outer surface (40) of the balloon (5). The balloon assembly (5) is configured to permit a fluid to pass from the first end of the balloon to the second end of the balloon when the balloon is in an inflated state.  In some embodiments, the body fluid lumen (30) includes a body fluid lumen valve (36) movable between a first position and a second position. The body fluid lumen valve occludes the body fluid lumen (30) to a greater extent in the first position than in the second position.

Abstract: A wind turbine generator (10) derives the gradient of a change in output power of a generator (20) that generates power by rotation of a wind turbine rotor (16), and determines an increase/decrease in the output power of the generator (20) on the basis of the derived gradient of the change in output power. Then, when the frequency of a utility grid (42) has dropped, power control is performed on the basis of the determination results. Therefore, a decrease in the amount of power supplied to the utility grid (42) can be more effectively compensated for by accurately detecting output power fluctuations of the generator (20), using a simple configuration.

Abstract: Linvention concerne des rideaux supérieurs pour abris de quai ou sas d'étanchéité. Dans un exemple, un ensemble rideau supérieur pour quai de chargement de véhicules comprend un rideau escamotable (22) renforcé par un panneau en mousse (34) à compression élastique qui est plus souple autour d'un axe horizontal qu'autour d'un axe vertical. La différence de souplesse directionnelle peut être créée par assemblage par couture du panneau en mousse (34) à une couverture pliable (38) au moyen d'une série de lignes de fil horizontaux parallèles. Les lignes de fil créent dans la mousse une série d'indentations comprimées (36) qui traversent horizontalement le rideau (22) de sorte que celui-ci (22) tende à fléchir plus facilement le long de ces lignes. La raideur relative dans le sens horizontal permet au rideau (22) d'exercer une force adhésive appréciable contre deux éléments de sas d'étanchéité latéraux; et la souplesse verticale facilite un escamotage vertical du rideau (22) qui adapte celui-ci (22) à des véhicules de différentes hauteurs. Des dispositifs de fixation par contact (60, 62, 66, 68, 70, 74) permettent de remplacer facilement nombre des éléments individuels du rideau supérieur.
