Abstract: A signal receiver uses overlapping sample accumulations in order to acquire and track a received spread spectrum signal with increased speed and accuracy. Sample accumulations are formed by grouping together a predetermined number of consecutive samples. Overlapping sample accumulations may then be created by overlapping a predetermined portion of adjacent sample accumulations. After the overlapping sample accumulations have been created they are transmitted to a timing discriminator in order to determine a timing error indicative of the difference between the timing of the received spread spectrum signal and the signal receiver timing. The timing discriminator compares early and late overlapping accumulation signals in order to determine an updated timing error. The receiver timing is thereafter adjusted according to the timing error. By overlapping the accumulations of samples, adjustments to the system timing may be made more rapidly than if disjoint samples are used.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for control of a power control loop. The method comprises the steps of: amplifying a non-constant envelope modulation signal to thereby produce an output signal; combining a power level control signal with a signal representing the envelop of modulation; comparing the combined signal to a signal representing the power level of the output signal to thereby produce a comparison signal; and attenuating the amplified signal in dependence on said comparison signal.

Abstract: A device and method is disclosed for permanent or semi-permanent removal of hair through the activation of microparticles introduced into hair follicles. Microparticles are incorporated into a composition that is topically applied to the skin. These microparticles containing or consisting of chromophores or chemically activated molecules are of a variety of shapes and sizes. Microparticles are within a size range of 1 micron to 70 microns, and preferably between 10 and 50 microns. Microparticles of this size and variety of shapes enter hair follicles on all areas of the skin without entering other areas of the skin, such as the stratum corneum or sweat gland channels. Treatment of the skin with electromagnetic radiation, ultrasonic radiation or chemical means activates the chromophore or chemically activated compounds, thus destroying the hair follicle without damaging other areas of the skin. In another embodiment, microparticles further contain nanoparticles released further into the hair follicle by use of a solvent or other method, allowing chromophores or chemically activated molecules to penetrate deeper into the follicle and avoid structures such as the sebaceous gland.
