Title: Derivation of eigenvectors for spatial processing in mimo communication systems
Inventor: KETCHUM JOHN W
IPC: H04B7/06
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 th at eigenmode. The steered reference is used to estimate both a matrix .SIGMA. o f 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 th e estimates of .SIGMA. and U, e.g., using QR factorization, minimum square err or computation, or polar decomposition. The estimates of .SIGMA. and U (or the estimate of .SIGMA. and the matrix U ) may 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 lin k (for reciprocal first and second links).

Title: Platen mounted post mold cooling apparatus
Inventor: DOMODOSSOLA ROBERT
IPC: B29C45/42
Filed: 2004-02-16
Abstract: Platen-mounted, post-mold cooling apparatus and method includes structure and/or steps for handling molded parts in an injection molding machine having a fixed platen, a moving platen, a core half, and a cavity half. A take off device coupled to the fixed platen is configured to remove molded parts from either the core half or the cavity half. A cooling device coupled to the moving platen is configured to cool the molded parts carried by the take off device. Preferably, the take off device extracts the just molded parts from the mold's core half and then moves linearly outboard of the mold halves. The subsequent movement of the moving platen to close the mold in the next molding cycle causes the cooling device's pins to engage the molded parts in the take off device part carriers. When the moving platen opens again, the molded parts are extracted from the part carriers by the cooling device pins. When the moving platen is fully open, the cooling device is rotated to eject the cooled parts from the machine.
