Abstract: A digital signal processing system for receiving from a Fourier
Transform processor a first multiplicity of data points which together
represent a Fourier Transform and processing the first multiplicity of data
points to generate a second multiplicity of data points which together
represent one or more other Fourier Transforms, comprises: a processing
means for processing the first multiplicity of data points to generate the
second multiplicity of data points by processing a plurality of pairs of data
points of the first multiplicity of data points, each pair of data points
comprising first and second data points that are to be processed together at
the processing means. The system further comprises a circuit for
connecting the Fourier Transform processor and the processing means to
route the first multiplicity of data points from the Fourier Transform
processor to the processing means, in use the circuit being controlled so that
the first and second data points of any given pair of the plurality of pairs of
data points are input to the processing means substantially simultaneously
and with at least one of them having been routed from the Fourier
Transform processor to the processing means without being stored in
memory. The system provides for reduced latency and memory
requirements compared to known systems.
Patent EP-1363435-A2 (EP)
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2003-05-13
Abstract: A method (300) for estimating carrier frequency offset (CFO) and sampling frequency offset
(SFO) in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system having a plurality of
pilot tones. The absolute phase angle for each pilot tone is measured, and estimates of the CFO
and the SFO are derived using a weighted least-squares methodology. More particularly, the
phase of each pilot tone is measured for a number (n) of symbol times (302); for each of the pilot
tones, the slope of a phase angle change from symbol time to symbol time is estimated using a
best least-squares fit of the measured phases to a straight line (304, 306); and a weighted least-squares
best-fit straight line is determined to find an estimated phase angle differential value
(α(i)) for each pilot tone (308); wherein a slope of the best-fit straight line yields an estimate of
the SFO (310), and an intercept with the best-fit straight line yields an estimate of the CFO
(310). The plurality of pilot tones may have frequencies which are symmetrically disposed
about a reference frequency, and there may be four pilot tones. The OFDM communications
system is suitably a wireless LAN (WLAN) implementing a standard such as IEEE 802.11a or
HiperLAN/2. Corresponding apparatus is also described.

Abstract: Il est question, dans un mode de réalisation de cette invention, d'un procédé permettant d'évaluer les déformations subies par la surface d'un matériau. Ce procédé consiste à entrer dans un ordinateur une plage de déformation élastique et plastique du matériau. Il consiste également à modéliser une zone de ce matériau avec une grille comportant plusieurs éléments. Il consiste, en outre, à déterminer, au moyen d'une analyse informatique d'un élément fini sur la grille, un déplacement d'au moins un point sur chaque élément. Le déplacement est dérivé d'un ensemble de conditions limites modélisées. L'analyse de cet élément fini comporte un une approximation récurrente du module d'élasticité de chaque élément en fonction des déformations, élastique et plastique, du matériau. L'approximation est fondée sur une valeur de contrainte calculée d'après un déplacement d'élément précédemment calculé.

Il empêche également le tissu de pénétrer dans l'orifice du tube et permet aux marqueurs de sortir par l'orifice du tube lorsque leur administration est désirée. Le guidage du tube d'administration vers un emplacement désiré dans le corps du patient implique l'utilisation d'un dispositif d'imagerie, avec ou sans canule. Le bouchon peut lui-même servir de marqueur et peut être le marqueur exclusif. Les marqueurs peuvent être détectés par ultrasons, rayons X, imagerie par résonance magnétique et autres dispositifs d'imagerie et peuvent comporter des éléments bioactifs.

Title: Planarisation magnetique de flocons de pigment
Inventor: RAKSHA VLADIMIR P
IPC: B05D5/12
Filed: 2003-07-01
Abstract: Selon l'invention, un champ magnétique est appliqué pour planariser des flocons de pigment magnétique relativement à une surface. Dans beaucoup d'applications, les flocons de pigment tendent à s'aligner parallèlement les uns aux autres et à la surface sur laquelle ils sont appliqués. Dans certaines opérations d'impression, les flocons de pigment appliqués parallèlement au substrat sont tirés hors plan lorsque l'impression écran ou la matrice d'impression est détachée du substrat. Si les flocons de pigment présentent une structure magnétique appropriée, un champ magnétique peut être appliqué de façon à aligner subséquemment les flocons ou améliorer leur alignement dans le plan du substrat pour autant que le véhicule dans lequel les flocons son dispersés soit toujours liquide. On améliore ainsi la qualité visuelle de l'image imprimée, en particulier avec des pigments optiquement variables.

selected track is designated, judges whether the data of
the corresponding still picture group are already stored
in the memory (5), reads out those data and stores in
the memory (5) if necessary, and thereafter reads out
the requisite still picture data from memory as

Abstract: A display device capable of applying reverse driving voltage for a light emitting
element to a light emitting element every certain period for prolonging light emitting
element's life and burning out a shorted portion. Besides a path for supplying forward
current to the light emitting element, a path for supplying reverse current is provided. A
driving transistor is provided in the former path while a transistor (AC transistor) is
provided in the latter path, thereby a switching between the two paths is controlled. The
AC transistor has a rate L/W of a channel length L to a channel width W smaller than that
of the driving transistor. Accordingly, current flowing into the light emitting element can
be flowed into the AC transistor in the case of reverse driving voltage being applied to the
light emitting element.
