Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) receives and samples communication signals, where the communication signals have a time frame format, a transmission chip rate and a synchronization code associated with a time slot that includes a midamble that indicates a modulation of the synchronization code where a specified modulation of received synchronization codes identifies the timing for a timeslot in which data is to be received. The UE preferably includes a synchronization code determination circuit, a midamble determination circuit, and a phase modulation sequence detection circuit operatively associated with the midamble determination circuit. The UE can be configured for use with the low chip rate option of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) standards that employ a predefined set of downlink SYNC codes that point to midambles which indicate SYNC code modulation sequence to enable reading of data in a subsequent Broadcast Channel (BCH) message.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for a handoff in a broadcast communication system is disclosed. A subscriber-assisted handoff is impractical in a broadcast communication system due to e.g., a high signaling load, a difficulty to synchronize the broadcast transmission. On the other hand, the small number of broadcast channels enables the subscriber station to perform the handoff autonomously. While performing a handoff between broadcast transmissions, a disruption of service occurs due to lack of synchronization among the broadcast transmissions. 
The method and the apparatus according to the invention hence achieve re-synchronization of content of a broadcast communication during handoff of a subscriber station by processing a first broadcast stream on a first broadcast. channel transmitted from a first terminal and determining service option parameters for processing a second broadcast stream on a second channel transmitted from a second terminal while decoding content of the first broadcast stream; upon synchronizing the first broadcast stream and the second broadcast stream, the processing of the first broadcast stream is terminated, and the processing of the second broadcast stream begins in accordance with the determined service option parameters.

Abstract: A circuit is provided for controlling or regulating a phase-locked loop (PLL) output during times when the PLL is unlocked. Noise or corruption on the input signal of the PLL may cause the PLL output frequency to suddenly rise to match the input signal frequency. In many instances, the noise or corruption cannot be filtered by the low pass filter within the PLL. A detection circuit is coupled to receive the input signal, and discern times in which non-filterable noise occurs. The detection circuit may include a decoder which decodes, e.g., error correction coding within the input signal data stream to indicate possible instances in which the PLL will unlock. Once the detection circuit indicates an unlock condition the clocking frequency is regulated to a lower frequency which is acceptable to a digital processor, while the unregulated PLL output clocking signal during an unlock state is not acceptable. Thus, the digital processor can maintain its operating state during times when the PLL clocking signal exceeds the processor maximum operation frequency. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method, a system, a transmitter and a receiver for identification of a time sliced elementary streams using PSI/SI tables. This identification provides a way to separate time-sliced elementary stream from non-time-sliced elementary streams by defining two descriptors in PSI/SI tables. A time slice identifier descriptor is defined, which can be used to identify elementary streams which are time sliced. This descriptor is also used to provide additional information about the transmitted elementary streams. The invention provides a way to announce additional information of the time sliced elementary streams via PSI/SI tables. Additionally, it provides a mechanism to categorize single elementary stream(s) as non-time sliced and time sliced. A way to identify time sliced elementary streams carried over DVB networks is disclosed and providing additional information on those streams. This can be done by using the time slice identifier descriptor. The descriptor can be used at least in Network Information Table (NIT), Program Map Table (PMT) and IP/MAC Notification Table (INT) tables. Time slicing provides a way to save power in the receiver in broadband transmission.

Abstract: The invention relates to injection moldings with surfaces which have self-cleaning properties, and also to a simple process for producing the self-cleaning surfaces. The process of the invention is very simple, since it can make use of currently available equipment. Injection molded parts are usually produced by means of injection molds into which the material is injected. The process of the invention makes use of this process in that prior to the actual injection-molding process microparticles are applied to the injection mold and, during the injection-molding process, are transferred to the injection-molded part in that the particles are pressed into the surface of the injection-molded part. The process of the invention gives access to self-cleaning surfaces which have particles with a fissured structure, without any need to apply an additional emboss layer or foreign-material backing layer to the molding. Injection moldings of the invention may be three-dimensional articles of almost any type.

Abstract: The invention concerns a network comprising an interconnecting network and several network nodes that are coupled to said interconnecting network and are designed to adapt their local communication time schedule to the communication time schedule of at least one other network mode, prior to being integrated as active network nodes. A network node to be integrated checks the activity of other network nodes and if no activity is identified, sends out positional messages for other network nodes, said message being fixed by predetermination in its communication time schedule. If a network node cannot be integrated as a reference node, it can only be integrated as an active node if it adapts its local communication time schedule to that of the reference node after receiving positional messages and if a check as to whether its own communication time schedule agrees with the communication time schedules of at least some of the active network nodes proves positive.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a discharge lamp 11 including two electrodes 12,13. The method comprises applying to the electrodes an alternating current I<SUB>Lamp</SUB>. In order to improve the performance of the lamp and to increase the life time of the lamp, it is proposed that the alternating current has a direct current component DC for compensating a temperature difference between the two electrodes. The direct current component is selected more specifically such that a first electrode, which is expected to have a lower temperature than the second electrode, functions as anode for the direct current component, while the second electrode functions as cathode for the direct current component. The invention relates equally to an electronic circuit and to a software program for operating a discharge lamp correspondingly, as well as to a lighting system comprising a discharge lamp and means for operating this discharge lamp correspondingly.
