Abstract: Techniques for controlling the transmit power for a number of data streams in a wireless multi-channel (e.g., MIMO) communication system. In one method, a number of received symbol streams are initially processed in accordance with a particular (e.g., CCMI, CCMISC, MMSE, or MMSE-SC) receiver processing technique to provide a number of detected data streams. The post-detection SNRs of the detected data streams are estimated, and each SNR that exceeds a setpoint is identified. This setpoint may correspond to (1) the SNR needed to achieve the maximum allowed spectral efficiency or (2) the target SNR needed to achieve a specified spectral efficiency. A new (or adjusted) transmit power for each detected data stream associated with a post-detection SNR that exceeds the setpoint is determined and used for the data stream. Different power control schemes are provided for different classes of receiver processing techniques with different characteristics.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device that converts the rotation of a shaft (1) into a reciprocating movement comprising two translation and rotation components, said components being synchronised with a phi phase difference which drives a propelling element such as an aileron, a skate or a wheel.  The aforementioned conversion is performed by at least two cranks (2, 3) of the shaft (1) which are connected by rods (9, 10) to the levers (6, 7) using a specific kinematics.  The lever (6), which is rotation connected to the arm (4), communicates the translational component to the support of the propelling element (5).  Moreover, said lever (7) is joined to a part (8), having the same axis of rotation as the arm (4), which communicates the orientation component to the support of the propelling element (5) via, for example, an expanding parallelogram.  If the rotation of the shaft (1) is reversed, the direction of movement is also reversed.  According to the invention, if the value of phi is suitable, the device operates as a generator.  The inventive device is particularly suitable for use in propelling vehicles and recovering kinetic energy.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin printing plate precursor capable of forming a protruding relief pattern without using any original pattern film. <??>Specifically, the present invention relates to a photosensitive resin printing plate precursor including: a photosensitive resin layer (A) containing a water-soluble or water-dispersible resin and an ultraviolet-curable monomer; and a water-insoluble heat-sensitive mask layer (C) containing an infrared-absorbing material, deposited in that order on a support. <??>By introducing a crosslinked structure or a hydrophobic constituent to the heat-sensitive mask layer (C) so as to be insoluble in water, difference in polarity is produced between the layers (A) and (C) and, thus, mass transfer between the two layers can be prevented. Also, the scratch resistance of the heat-sensitive mask layer (C) can be dramatically enhanced and, thus, the printing plate precursor becomes easy to handle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a nonwoven web prepared from an aliphatic polyester polymer which has sufficient tear strength and is biodegradable. Biodegradable nonwoven webs of the present are prepared from a polymer blend having from about 65% by weight to about 99% by weight of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester polymer and from about 1% by weight to about 35% by weight of a second polymer selected from the group consisting of a polymer having a lower melting point than the biodegradable aliphatic polyester polymer, a polymer having a lower molecular weight than the biodegradable aliphatic polyester polymer and mixtures thereof. Surprisingly, the nonwoven webs of the present invention have a tear strength greater than the tear strength of a nonwoven web prepared from the biodegradable aliphatic polyester polymer alone. In addition, other properties of the resulting nonwoven web, such as the tensile strength and energy to break, are not adversely affected, by the addition of the second polymer, in ways that make the resulting nonwoven web unusable for its intended purpose.
