Abstract: The inventive lifting body for an airship is constructed of a skin (2) that forms an ellipsoid-like hollow body. A node element (3) is placed in the vicinity of the nose (11) and rear (12) respectively, and compression members (4) extend along surface lines (16) and are anchored on both sides inside one of the node elements (3). The compression members (4) are flexible and thus adapt to the skin (2) along the surface line (16). Two tensile bands (5) per compression member (4) extend in opposite spiraling directions around the skin (2). The skin (2) takes on its provided taut shape while being subjected to an overpressure of several mBars. The compression members (4), together with the node elements (3) and with the tensile bands (5), form an extremely light exoskeleton by means of which the lifting body becomes dimensionally stable.  Increasing overpressure renders the lifting body increasingly rigid and continues to increase the load bearing capacity thereof while the lifting body retains its shape and dimensions. The dimensional stability of the lifting body facilitates and assists in imparting to it an aerodynamic shape, optionally with a dynamic lift. In addition, the compression members (4) are suited for attaching power units, gondolas and tail units.

Granted: 2010-01-26
Abstract: A conventional CMOS fabrication technique is used to integrate the formation of passive optical devices and active electro-optic devices with standard CMOS  electrical devices on a common SOI structure. The electrical devices and optical devices share the same surface SOI layer (a relatively thin, single crystal silicon layer), with various required semiconductor layers then formed over the SOI layer. In some instances, a set of process steps may be used to simultaneously form regions in both electrical and optical devices.  Advantageously, the same metallization process is used to provide electrical connections to the electrical devices and the active electro-optic devices.

Abstract: A method and system for an enhanced uplink (EU) operation in a wireless communication system during soft handover. The system comprises a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), at least two Node-Bs, and a radio network controller (RNC). One Node-B may be designated as a primary Node-B, and the primary Node-B may control EU operation during soft handover including uplink scheduling and hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ). Soft buffer corruption is avoided during soft handover by controlling H-ARQ by the primary Node-B.  Alternatively, an RNC may control EU operation during soft handover including H-ARQ. In this case, an RNC generates final acknowledge/non-acknowledge (ACK/NACK) decision based on the error check results of the Node-Bs.
