Abstract: Sodar systems and methods for acoustically sounding air are disclosed in which chirps longer than 300 ms - and preferably with durations of tens of seconds - are used along with matched filter and/or Fourier processing methods to derive phase signals indicative of air characteristics in range. A listen-while-transmit strategy is preferred, the direct signal being removed by subtracting the phase signals from two or more receivers located near the transmitter so as to be in the same noise environment. The resultant differential signals can be related to cross-range wind with range distance. In one example, apparatus (100) is employed comprising a reflector dish (102) over which one central loudspeaker 110 and four microphones (112, 114, 130 and 132) are mounted, the microphones preferably being located on cardinal compass points and having their axes (124, 126) slightly angled with respect to the vertical transmission axis (122).

Title: Multi-carrier communication method and multi-carrier communication apparatus
Inventor: SUMASU ATSUSHI
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2002-05-13
Abstract: SFTD coding section 10 adjusts a sequence of
frequency arrangement and phases of transmit data digital
symbols in a time series and thus generates at least two
transmit signals. The transmit signals are transformed
into parallel signals in serial/parallel transform
sections 11 and 12, and subsequently transformed into
OFDM signals in IDFT sections 13 and 14 and parallel/serial
transform sections 15 and 16, respectively. In this way,
by using the multicarrier transmission scheme, it is made
possible to encode on the frequency axis signals
conventionally encoded only on the time axis, and it is
thus possible to decrease the processing delay while
obtaining the same diversity effect as in the STTD transmit
diversity scheme.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de détecter un repère d'alignement associé à un objet qui assure une meilleure résolution entre des entrées adaptées et des entrées non adaptées. Le repère d'alignement représente une séquence de codes binaires. Lorsqu'un détecteur détecte une séquence de bits, la séquence détectée est envoyée à un filtre de couplage de code qui compare la séquence détectée à la séquence de codes binaires et produit un signal de détection. Le filtre de couplage de code augmente une valeur du signal de détection pour chaque paire appariée de bits comparés et diminue la valeur du signal de détection pour chaque paire non appariée de bits comparés. De cette manière, une pénalité est évaluée pour les non concordances. Ceci produit une sortie de filtre qui présente une amplitude élevée en réponse à une entrée appariée et une faible amplitude pour les entrées non appariées. Le système peut échantillonner la séquence de bits détectée de telle sorte que les problèmes potentiels de synchronisation des bords soient éliminés.

Abstract: The method involves known suction devices and a vacuum-generated air stream. The collecting container (3) of the suction device has a flexible lining (5) which can be vibrated to prevent materials from sticking directly to the solid internal walls (12).

Abstract: A system and method for obtaining the contact thermal resistance for a sample and pan
without a priori knowledge of the properties of either sample, by measuring the reversing heat
capacity of a sample and its pan (or an empty pan on the reference side of the DSC) at a long
period and a short period during a quasi-isothermal MDSC experiment and then finding the value
of contact thermal resistance that makes the short and long period heat capacities match. Several
different methods may be used to find the contact thermal resistance using quasi-isothermal
MDSC with a long and a short period. Two methods are direct calculation methods that use the
results from an MDSC experiment used with model equations to calculate the contact thermal
resistance. A third method is another direct calculation method, based upon the phase angle
between the heat flow and temperature signals. A fourth and fifth method use curve fitting of the
apparent heat capacity for multiple values of pan contact thermal resistance.
