Abstract: Described is a transceiver for through-air optical communications system and the related method for transmitting signals through air by utilizing coherent light beams. The transceiver according to the invention comprises a receiving reflecting surface to properly reflect the coherent light received from another transceiver, said receive surface defining an outer edge. The transceiver is characterized by further comprising a single aperture in the shape of an annulus to pass the coherent light to be transmitted, said aperture substantially extending close to the outer edge of the receiving surface. Conveniently the annulus-shaped aperture is formed in the same main disk in which the receive reflecting surface is realized. The problem of scintillation and alignment between receiving and transmitting parts of the transceiver is reduced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a process for activating a catalyst composition comprising at least one hydrogenation metal component of Group VI and/or Group VIII of the Periodic Table, and an S-containing organic additive, wherein the catalyst is contacted with hydrogen at a temperature between room temperature and 600  DEG C, preferably 100-450  DEG C, characterised in that prior to or during the contacting with hydrogen the catalyst is contacted with an organic liquid. Preferably, the contacting with the organic liquid is carried out prior to the contacting with hydrogen. The organic liquid may be a hydrocarbon with a boiling range of 150-500  DEG C, preferably white oil, gasoline, diesel, or gas oil or mineral lube oil. It was found that the application of an organic liquid prior to or during the hydrogen treatment results in catalysts with an increased activity.

Abstract: In a method for improving the transmission efficiency in a communication system with a layered protocol stack, data packets are processed on an upper protocol layer. Data packets are forwarded to a lower protocol layer for transmission and the transmission is performed with variable channel access delays. The upper protocol layer is notified by the lower protocol layer when a transmission is started to allow a synchronization of timers in the upper protocol layer. If a layer performs a scheduling of data packets for the transmission, a rescheduling can be performed in addition during a channel access delay. Devices and software programs embodying the invention are also described.

Abstract: A conversion system converts DICOM SR information from a DICOM-formatted file into an XML representation. By providing a mapping between DICOM SR and XML, the DICOM SR content material can be more easily processed by application programs that are DICOM-specific, such as medical analysis programs, as well as by application programs that are not DICOM-specific, such as routine clerical or data-management programs. In a preferred embodiment, a two-phase conversion is employed. The DICOM information is parsed and Fig converted directly into a "raw" XML data set. Thereafter, the "raw" XML is transformed into a proper XML output form, via an XSLT processor. Changes to the desired XML output form can thus be effected via changes in the corresponding XSLT stylesheets.

Abstract: Biasing soft output values based on a known or learned bit error rate function yields performance improvements in decoding algorithms adapted to work with soft values, such as soft output Viterbi algorithms (SOVA). For example, in a wireless receiver, the soft output values output from a signal demodulator may be biased to reflect the changes in bit error rate across a given burst or block of data. Such changes might arise, for example, due to increasing inaccuracies in the receiver's channel estimate, which is typically computed at the beginning or middle of a block of received data. The wireless receiver may store a table of scaling factors corresponding to the expected bit error rate distribution of the received signal. The table may be preloaded into the receiver, or may be determined during operation. In either case, the table may be updated during operation to reflect bit error incidence observed during operation.
