Abstract: The invention relates to implementing a training phase of adaptive channel equalization on a digital communications path using QAM- or CAP-modulation method and comprising at least one band-stop filter that forms a stop band on a the signal spectrum. Training of adaptive equalizers is performed utilizing a sparse symbol constellation, wherein a number of symbol states (S) is smaller than that of a symbol constellation used in a normal data transmission state. The benefit of the sparse symbol constellation is that a strong intersymbol interference caused by the stop band can thus be reduced to such a low level in regard to a signal power that a linear equalizer may be used to reach a situation, wherein a proportion of correct symbol decisions becomes sufficiently high for training of a decision-feedback equalizer.

Abstract: Fastenings, including stretchy or flexible 'zebra-like' and 'leopard-like' appearing materials, are disclosed having spaced bands or a distribution islands of molded loop-engageable hooks or molded pre-forms for hooks, between which are bands or regions of different character. Molding is by rigid molds filled from the base region of the stems. In embodiments, linear bands or islands of fastener elements are themselves inextensible in the direction of their extent and comprise multiple rows of fastener elements. For ease of forming a uniform, elastically stretchy or flexible product, the bands or islands of fastener elements extend in the machine direction during manufacture. Embodiments shown employ a widthwise continuous carrier of uniform character to which multiple spaced bands or islands of hooks have their molded stems in situ bonded, and in other embodiments, over-lapping margins of the bases of hook bands are in situ laminated to surface structure of adjacent bands of carrier using a laminating nip in which one of the rolls is a mold roll. For a preferred mode of manufacture of an elastically stretchy product, stretchy carrier material is stretchy only in the widthwise (cross-machine) direction. In composite hook and loop fastener products, the bands or regions of material between adjacent bands or islands of hooks comprise loop-engageable material, that is uniform in construction widthwise, the loop-forming material itself being an elastically stretchable or a flexible component. In useful product categories, the hook bands or islands and intervening regions of material have importantly different width ranges. Novel elastically stretchable and flexible loop-defining materials, and their methods of manufacture are shown. In situ lamination of hook, bands or islands on surfaces of materials held in a planar orientation or presenting a planar surface are also shown, flexible materials on tenter frames and rigid materials.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is a device by means of which simulation of the lengthening of shortening of, for example, a limb is obtaining by construction of a telescoping structure, the mutual sliding of which, and therefore the lengthening or shortening is controlled by means of threads that are rolled or unrolled from a disk shaped like one or more side-by-side pulleys. Thanks also to the action of a counteracting spring. The movement of the spools is controlled by a circuit that registers shaking and therefore playing with the toy according to the equation, more playing=more growth (that is, more shaking more growth).

Abstract: A multi-layer wound dressing comprising at least two absorbent layers, and materials for forming absorbent layers are provided. The absorbent layers have different absorbencies, with the layer closest to the wound having a lower absorbency than the layer furthest from the wound. The wound dressing typically contains additional non-absorbing layers, such as a backing film and wound-facing film. The dressing provides absorbency of wound exudates while preventing the absorbent material from entering the wound. In specific implementations the dressing is substantially transparent prior to application to a wound, as well as after application to the wound when body fluids have been absorbed.

Abstract: A power plant outputs motive power by driving a motor (22) using electric power from a direct-current power source (32). When the direct-current power source (32) has a low temperature, the direct-current power source is rapidly heated, whereby the performance can fully be demonstrated. In the power plant in which a capacitor (30) is installed so as to connect a positive electrode bus (26) and a negative electrode bus (28) of an inverter circuit (24) and the direct-current power source (32) is also installed so as to connect the negative electrode bus (28) of the inverter circuit (24) and a neutral point of the motor (22), when a power source temperature (Tb) of the direct-current power source (32) detected by a temperature sensor (50) is less than or equal to a threshold temperature (Tblow) at which supply of required electric power to the motor (22) is possible, an electronic control unit (40) sets a voltage between terminals of the capacitor (30) higher than normal and also sets a frequency of a carrier wave lower than normal, and performs switching control of transistors (T1 to T6). Thus, a ripple of a neutral point current which flows into the direct-current power source (32) can be increased, whereby it is possible to promote calorification of the direct current power source (32). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A circuit topology and method for converting a digital input signal to an analog output signal employs a modified sigma-delta loop and a DAC, and operates with improved accuracy over a wide frequency range. A loop filter such as a digital accumulator receives an input signal proportional to the difference between a digital input signal and a feedback signal. A quantizer quantizes the output of the loop filter, and the DAC converts the quantized signal into an analog output signal. The quantized signal is also provided to a DAC model. In response to the quantized signal and behavioral information about the DAC, the DAC model varies the feedback signal to match expected output signals from the DAC, including errors introduced by the DAC. By the operation of the sigma-delta loop, the errors of the DAC are substantially reduced.
