Title: Adaptive modulation and coding where the mapping from channel quality to modulation and coding scheme is adjusted depending upon ack/nack receipt
Inventor: AWAD YASSIN ADEN
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2003-07-31
Abstract: The invention relates to adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) in wireless networks, in particular third generation (3G) mobile phone networks. In the basic 3GPP high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) proposal for AMC there is a fixed relationship between the measured channel quality (CQI) and the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) to be used (Fig. 5). In the proposed system the CQI (12) is mapped to an adjustable soft MCS value (14). The soft MCS value is adjusted up when a packet is successfully received (ack) and down on failed reception (nack). This soft MCS value is then used to select the appropriate MCS to be used. The system allows the appropriate MCS to be selected even when path and channel conditions vary.

Patent GB-2397192-A (GB)
Title: Compensating for alignment errors in sensor assemblies
Inventor: MILLER MINDY LEE
IPC: H04N1/04
Filed: 2003-11-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for compensating for assembly and alignment errors in multi-segment sensor assemblies to reduce stitching artifacts. The placement of each sensor segment is characterized by the coordinates of its end pixels in scanner pixel space. Preferably for each pixel in each segment, an offset is computed, using the segment's slope and first pixel location, indicating the number of scan lines the pixel should be shifted to place its data in the image pixel nearest its ideal location. During scanning of an image, image data is placed in a buffer. Upon placement in the buffer or placement into a final output destination, image data from each interval of the segment is shifted by a distance in the subscanning direction that minimizes image artifacts. In an alternative embodiment, interpolation is performed between two adjacent scan lines. The data from two overlapping segments may optionally be smoothed by combining data from redundant pixels.

Title: Ceramic multilayer substrate manufacturing method and unfired composite multilayer body
Inventor: KAWAKAMI HIROMICHI
IPC: H05K3/00
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: By interposing an unfired multilayer multi-substrate (13) mainly containing a low-temperature firing glass ceramic powder between first and second shrinkage control layers (14a, 14b) mainly containing an aluminum powder, an unfired composite multilayer body (11) is prepared. A cut groove (16) is formed in a major surface (11a) of the unfired composite multilayer body (11) to a depth penetrating through the shrinkage control layer (14a) and the unfired multi-layer multi-substrate (13), reaching the other shrinkage control layer (14b), and not reaching the other major surface (11b). The unfired composite multilayer body (11) with the cut groove (16) is fired under the firing condition of the low-temperature firing glass ceramic powder, the unfired shrinkage control layers (14a, 14b) are removed, and ceramic multilayer substrates are produced. Thus, high-precision ceramic multilayer substrates can be produced, causing few division failures when dividing a multilayer multi-substrate into ceramic multilayer substrates.

IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2002-10-21
Abstract: Storage means (38A) stores "actual correlation data" . This "actual correlation data" is data on correlation of a phase difference of reflected waves set considering microwave reflection caused by an object other than a target to be sensed and existing in an area of the target to be sensed (such as a ceiling, walls, and a floor) with a distance to the target to be sensed. From the phase difference of the reflected waves sensed, the distance to the target to be sensed is calculated according to the "actual correlation data".

Title: Barrier movement operator speed control by means of frequency modulation of A.C. mains supply
Inventor: FITZGIBBON JAMES J
IPC: E05F15/00
Filed: 2004-07-16
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling the speed of an A.C. induction motor 106 are disclosed and shown in operation for controlling the movement of a barrier. Included are voltage configuration circuits which selectively gate portions of the half-cycles of alternating current (AC) mains voltage to the induction motor and control the frequency at which the voltage is applied. When the motor is started increasing amounts of mains AC voltage is applied to the motor and decreasing portions of the mains AC are applied to the motor during a stopping routine. The motor can also be energized with less than full mains AC to permit differences in barrier movement speed dependent on operating parameters. Further means of controling a motor by varying the frequency of the power provided are also disclosed.

Title: Generating directional low frequency acoustic signals for well logging
Inventor: LEGGETT III JAMES V
IPC: G01V1/02
Filed: 2004-08-13
Abstract: An acoustic logging tool deployed in a borehole comprises a first high frequency source T1 which emits a first acoustic signal at frequency F1 (eg 70 kHz) and a second HF source T2 which emits a second acoustic signal at frequency F2 (eg 71 kHz). Due to natural non-linear effects in the formation around the borehole, the signals interact to produce a low frequency signal with a frequency equal to the frequency difference F1-F2 (eg 1 kHz). A receiver receives the low frequency signal, which is subject to semblance processing to determine characteristics of the formation (eg location and orientation of bed boundaries). At least one of the sources may be have a variable frequency (chirp). Also disclosed is a logging tool in which an acoustic source produces a Stoneley wave (tube wave) within a drill collar or fluid conduit, or in the annulus between the drill collar and the formation. When the Stoneley wave reaches a discontinuity in its path (eg obstruction inside or outside the collar), part of the wave is radiated into the formation.
