Patent EP-1115655-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SMALLEY RICHARD E
IPC: C01B31/02
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: Single-walled carbon nanotubes have been synthesized by the catalytic decomposition of both carbon monoxide and ethylene over a supported metal catalyst know to produce larger multi-walled nanotubes. Under certain conditions, there is no termination of nanotube growth, and production appears to be limited only by the diffusion of reactant gas through the product nanotube mat that covers the catalyst. The present invention concerns a catalyst-substrate system which promotes the growth of nanotubes that are predominantly single-walled tubes in a specific size range, rather than the large irregular-sized multi-walled carbon fibrils that are known to grow from supported catalysts. With development of the supported catalyst system to provide an effective means for production of single-wall nanotubes, and further development of the catalyst geometry to overcome the diffusion limitation, the present invention will allow bulk catalytic production of predominantly single-wall carbon nanotubes from metal catalysts located on a catalyst supporting surface.

Title: Regulateurs d'amplitude d'enveloppe et de puissance de crete et emetteurs-recepteurs a acces multiple par repartition de code caracterisant ces regulateurs
Inventor: MCGOWAN NEIL
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un régulateur de puissance de crête fonctionnant avec un émetteur-récepteur à accès multiple par répartition de code (ARMC), afin de réduire les pics de puissance de crête dans des signaux de bande de bas, tout en maintenant la cohérence entre la puissance de sortie moyenne et la puissance d'entrée moyenne, par commande des émissions hors bande, et par conservation de la qualité des signaux intra-bande jusqu'à une dégradation acceptable. Les signaux de bande de base en phase et en quadrature sont entrés dans un bloc à retard et dans un prédicteur d'amplitude d'enveloppe appartenant au régulateur de puissance de crête. Ce prédicteur d'amplitude d'enveloppe fournit une estimation de l'amplitude de l'enveloppe, laquelle estimation se produit lorsque les signaux de bande de base émis sont modulés. Cette estimation est soumise à un multiplicateur qui fournit un rapport par division de ladite estimation par une amplitude d'enveloppe maximum. Ce rapport est ensuite introduit dans une table de correspondance qui fournit un facteur d'échelle suffisant pour réduire les pics de puissance de crête. Ce facteur d'échelle est ensuite introduit dans un régulateur de puissance moyenne facultatif, qui produit une valeur de gain instantanée, suffisante pour maintenir le niveau de puissance de sortie moyen au niveau de puissance d'entrée moyen. La valeur du gain est appliquée à deux multiplicateurs qui sont également entrés avec des versions différées des signaux d'entrée de bande de base en phase ou en quadrature. Les sorties de ces deux multiplicateurs, après avoir été filtrées par des filtres passe-bas afin d'éliminer les émissions hors bande provoquées par la mise à l'échelle, se retrouvent en sortie du régulateur de puissance de crête. Ces sorties de puissance de crête réduites présentent une échelle réduite quelconque de pics de puissance de crête, et permettent cependant de conserver la puissance moyenne constante du prédicteur d'amplitude d'enveloppe.

Abstract: The system increases a resolution of at least a portion of a reference frame (I) of video based on pixels in the reference frame (I) and pixels in one or more succeeding target frames (B1, B2) of the video. Specifically, the system selects a first block of pixels (49) in the reference frame (I), and then locates, in N (N≥1) target frames (B1, B2), one or more blocks of pixels (46, 51) that substantially correspond to the first block of pixels, where the N target frames (B1, B2) are separate from the reference frame (I). In the particular case of MPEG-coded video, blocks in the N target frames are located using motion vector information present in the MPEG bitstream. Values of additional pixels are determined based on values of pixels in the first block (49) and on values of pixels in the one or more blocks (46, 51), whereafter the additional pixels are added among the pixels in the first block (49) in order to increase the first block's resolution.

Title: A method of increasing battery life in mobile communications devices which use paging channel displacement.
Inventor: ANDERSON KEITH WILLIAM
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2001-07-30
Abstract: A mobile communications device such as a pager or a cellular telephone enters a low power state more promptly than under TIA/EIA/IS-136 standards when an incoming message is pending for the device but is delayed by a first message broadcast for another such device. The device calculates the number of frames or SPACH slots required under those standards for the message for the other device; if that number is more than that reserved for the message for itself then it powers down immediately until the next paging channel slot is to be received. If the number of frames or SPACH slots required for the message for the other device is the same as or less than that reserved for the message for itself, then the device powers down immediately only for the duration of the message for the other device. By so powering down, the device achieves great savings in battery power as compared to present practices, without delay in reading incoming signals directed to the device.

Title: Method and apparatus for detecting zero rate frames in a communications system.
Inventor: CHEN TAO
IPC: H04L1/20
Filed: 2003-01-27
Abstract: Techniques for detecting zero rate frames in a received data transmission. A modulated signal is received and demodulated in accordance with a particular demodulation format to generate demodulated symbols. The demodulated symbols are partitioned into a number of received frames. For each received frame, a quality metric is computed and compared against a threshold value. The threshold value is selected based, in part, on the quality metrics of received frames. Based on the comparison result, the received frame is indicated as being either transmitted and received in error (i.e., erased or bad) or not transmitted at all (i.e., zero rate or empty). The quality metric can relate to an energy of a received frame, a distance between a received frame and a codeword corresponding to the received frame, or other metrics. The threshold value can be selected based on the quality metrics computed for decoded frames or received frames identified as good, and can be dynamically adjusted based on current information available at the receiver. The method is advantageously used in a CDMA communications system.
