Abstract: Iris recognition is achieved by iris acquisition that permits a user to self-position
his or her eye (216) into an imager's (200) field of view without the need for
any physical contact, spatially locating the data defining that portion of a digitised
video image of the user's eye that defines solely the iris thereof without any initial
spatial condition of the iris being provided , and pattern matching the spatially located
data defining the iris of the user's eye with stored data defining a model iris by
employing normalised spatial correlation for first comparing, at each of a plurality of
spatial scales, each of distinctive spatial characteristics of the respective irises that are
spatially registered with one another to quantitatively determine, at each of the
plurality of spatial scales, a goodness value of match at that spatial scale, and then
judging whether or not the pattern which manifests solely the iris of the user's eye
matches the digital data which manifests solely the model iris in accordance with a
certain combination of the quantitatively-determined goodness values of match at
each of said plurality of spatial scales.

Abstract: In order to enable high speed, high bandwidth data transfer between two ASIC devices for
example in a backplane, a wide parallel input data word is divided into a smaller number of
words, and each smaller word is converted to serial form and then transmitted over a
respective sub-link at a high clock rate relative to the system clock. At the receiving side, the
clock is recovered from the serial words, and the serial words are converted back to parallel
form. An alignment process is then carried out, firstly involving detecting the positions of the
bits of the words and then storing the words in a buffer FIFO register. The words are clocked
out of the FIFO register in synchronism under control of the system clock once it is detected
that valid words are received in the FIFO registers.

Abstract: A continuous process for making a thermoplastic article comprises extruding
a sheet of thermoplastic and contacting the sheet with a mold surface while the
sheet is in a substantially non-oriented state. The mold surface is selectively
heated and/or cooled during thermoforming to maintain the sheet in a molten or
thermoformable state. A stripper plate adjacent to the mold surface is maintained
at different temperature for inducing a predetermined degree of crystallinity to the
sheet, for increasing web stiffness and improving web alignment, and optionally
for assisting in the separation of the articles from the mold. A continuous
apparatus for making thermoformed articles has co-extruders for extruding at least
two distinct layers, which can have dissimilar properties ( e.g. , polar and non-polar),
and a temperature controlled molding surface. Preferred thermoplastic
compositions of the present invention have improved toughness and retained
intrinsic viscosity.

Abstract: A charge pump power converter efficiently provides electrical power by dynamically controlling a switch matrix of the charge pump that includes a flying ultra-capacitor C<U>F. Instead of open-loop oscillator-based control, a dynamic controller provides power upon demand by sensing the output voltage and changing the operating frequency of the charge pump in response. Moreover, this closed-loop dynamic control intrinsically voltage regulates the output voltage of the charge pump power converter without the inefficient addition of a step-down voltage regulator, downstream of the power converter. In addition, this closed-loop dynamic control allows for maintaining a desired output voltage even with variations in the input voltage. Further efficiency is achieved by controlling the charging and discharging of the flying ultra-capacitor C<U>F, both in rate of current change and in voltage ripple.

Abstract: A sliding-window multi-carrier communication system is described, wherein the carriers are orthogonal in a local sense, but not necessarily in a global sense. In one embodiment, the system allows a reduction of the length of the basis function time as compared to conventional OFDM systems. In some circumstances, the symbol time can be reduced almost to the basis function length even though the delay spread from channel-to-channel is significant. In one embodiment, a discrete Fourier transform DFT is used in the sliding-window receiver. In one embodiment, the DFT produces M outputs (one output for each of M channels) for each time-domain input. In one embodiment, the DFT produces outputs for M channels from N samples, where N is a basis function length. In one embodiment, the sliding-window receiver provides an adjustable basis-function length. In one embodiment, the basis-function length can be separately selected for each channel. In one embodiment, the sliding-window receiver provides independent equalization for each channel by extracting equalization information from a packet header.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for deflecting a charged particle beam of a time-varying magnetic field emitted by a magnet with a laminated magnetic core and a non-conductive vacuum chamber placed in a gap of the laminated magnetic core. The charged particle beam travels in the vacuum through the time varying magnetic field to switch between beams of different ion species or to scan a single ion species with a controlled velocity across a target. The vacuum chamber includes multiple thin annular sheets of metal or of another conductive material placed within the vacuum chamber to dispose the charged particle beam that passes through holes in each annular sheet without striking the non-conductive vacuum chamber walls. Each annular sheet is electrically connected to each other in a manner that suppresses eddy currents that would otherwise be induced by the time-varying magnetic field. The apparatus can be extended to two dimensions at the cost of added complexity.

Abstract: A method (18) for scheduling packet data transmissions in a wireless communication system (10) wherein a per-user Priority Function (PF) (24) is based on a channel condition indicated by a Rate Request Indicator (RRI). The method also considers fairness criteria dictated by predetermined Quality of Service (QOS) requirements. In one embodiment, the rate request indicator is a Data Rate Request (DRR). In another embodiment, rate request indicator is Carrier-to-Interference (C/I) information. In the exemplary embodiment, the base station calculates a Priority Function (PF) for the multiple mobile users. Each PF is a function of the rate request indicator and the projected throughput of a given mobile user. The PF values allow the base station (12) to schedule active mobile units (16) having pending data. The scheduling produces an approximately equal share of the allocated transmission time to the multiple mobile stations (16).
