Title: Method and apparatus for dynamically adjusting a transmission power spectral density of pilot and data symbols
Inventor: MALLADI DURGA PRASAD
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2007-11-03
Abstract: A power spectral density of a pilot symbol and a data symbol is controlled for an uplink transmission by a mobile station in a wireless network by determining a power spectral density of at least one of the data symbol and the pilot symbol based on a peak-to-average ratio (PAR) of at least one of the data symbol and the pilot symbol. A power spectral density of at least one of the data symbol and the pilot symbol is then dynamically adjusted based on a difference between the PAR of the data symbol and a PAR of the pilot symbol. Changes in the power spectral densities of the pilot symbol and the data symbol are signaled to a receiving side of the uplink transmission. If acceptable by the receiving side, the pilot symbol and the data symbol are transmitted to the receiving side of the uplink transmission.

Title: Characterising eye-related optical systems
Inventor: HOLDEN BRIEN ANTHONY
IPC: A61B3/103
Filed: 2008-03-28
Abstract: An instrument and method for characterising eye-related optical systems, including the live human eye (18) involves scanning an illuminating light beam (22) from a light source and light detector unit (20) from element to element of a beam deflector array (12) of elements (14) arranged laterally across the optical axis (16) of eye (18). At each successive element (14) the illuminating beam (22) is deflected to form an interrogating beam (24) that is directed into the eye (18) at a peripheral angle that depends upon the lateral location of the deflector element. A return beam (23) is reflected or back-scattered from the cornea (38) and returned via the same deflector element to the light source and detector unit (20). This allows the interrogating beams to be scanned sufficiently rapidly into the eye to greatly reduce the variation of eye fixation and gaze that accompany other methods of measuring peripheral refraction or aberration of a natural eye. In addition to or instead of scanning the illuminating beam (22) over each element (14) of the array (12), all or multiple elements (14) of the array (12) can be illuminated simultaneously and the multiple interrogating rays (24) thus generated can be gated by the use of an LCD aperture plate (26). Alternatively, an LCD aperture plate (28) can be interposed between a wide illuminating beam (22) and operated to selectively illuminate the beam deflector.

Abstract: Provided is a needle unit for endodontic treatment, including a needle bent at predetermined angle; a needle unit body where the needle is rotatably mounted; and an inserter for pressing the needle to fix the needle to the needle unit body. The present invention provides an optimal needle for efficiently realizing a needle unit for endodontic treatment. To be specific, the needle unit can be easily used by an operator because a needle bent at a predetermined angle is rotatably mounted on a needle unit body. Also, a diffuser portion is provided at a proximal end of the needle and pressed by an inserter so that the needle is fixed at a constant pressure. Hence, the needle is not fixed too loosely or too tightly to an extent that much force is required to rotate the needle, so that the operator can easily rotate the needle in a desired direction.
