Abstract: A synchronization system and method for obtaining frame, carrier, and
sampling synchronization of an input OFDM modulated digital signal having a
pseudoperiodic second symbol. The system includes an apparatus for
obtaining frame synchronization, and the apparatus includes an envelope
detector to detect the first symbol of the input signal, and a differentiator
connected to the envelope detector to detect the second symbol. The
differentiator includes a first filter having a transfer function  H(z) = (1 + z -1 ) 
and a second filter having a transfer function  H p (z) = (1 - z -n/2  + z -n  - z -3n/2 ) ,
where n equals to a number of samples in the input signal. Synchronization
of the carrier frequency offset is obtained by first obtaining the fractional
carrier frequency offset, and then obtaining the integral carrier frequency
offset through a matched filtering process. Sampling frequency

Abstract: In a data communication system in which many nodes
are connected to a common data bus (L) so that each node can
communicate with other nodes, a data frame to be transmitted
from a node to other nodes includes a message (DATA, etc)
having a variable length interposed between a signal (MESSAGE
LENGTH) indicating the length of the message and a signal (EOM)
indicating the end of the message in the frame. The message
and the signals are coded according to a coding rule such as
NRZ, and a bit stuffing rule is applied to the signal (MESSAGE
LENGTH) indicating the length of the message and the message
(DATA, etc) while another rule violating the bit stuffing rule
is applied to the signal (EOM) indicating the end of the
message. When the message length is changed due to noise or
other causes in the course of data transmission, the signal
(EOM) indicating the end of the message is clearly detected at
a receiving end because it is coded according to a rule
different from the rule applied to the message and other
signals. Further, since the length of the message actually
received at the receiving end can be compared with the signal
indicating the length of the message, transmission error can be
detected without fail.

Abstract: In the present invention, an ADSL system (10) determines if a bit
swap is to occur based upon a projected margin of a best carrier
and a current margin of a worst carrier. If a proposed swap is
not beneficial (320, 512, 604, 612) no swap occurs. In addition,
the present invention determines the effects of a bit swap on an
error correction scheme (510, 611). If the swap effects the
scheme, adjustments to system parameters are made to assure
continued error correction. In addition, the present invention
allows for bit swapping to and from bins containing zero or two
bits respectively (331, 332, 403).

Abstract: An MRI technique in which the similarity of samples from different portions of a body is determined and displayed. In one embodiment, the method can be used to track the spread of a known primary tumor to other portions of a patient's body. The MRI apparatus is used to produce a training set comprising one or more training samples. The training set is formed from a plurality of congruent first images of a training region of the body. Each first image is produced using an MRI pulse sequence different from the pulse sequences used to produce the other first images. Each first image comprises an array of pixels, and each training sample comprises a spatially aligned set of pixels from each first image. The same technique is used to produce a plurality of test samples corresponding to a test region of the same body. The test samples are produced using the same pulse sequences as the training samples. The training and test samples are then compared, to produce similarity data indicating, for each sample, the degree of similarity between the test sample and the training samples. A display is then generated based upon the similarity data. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A nuclear camera system includes oppositely disposed radiation detectors ( 10a, 10b )
which view an examination region  14  wherein a subject  16  is received therein. During
a diagnostic scan, a motor and drive assembly ( 18 ) concurrently moves the detectors
( 10a, 10b ) in a straight path along a longitudinal axis ( 20 ) for a selected time interval.
The radiation detectors ( 10a, 10b ) are positioned at a first angle at which the subject is
viewed and the angle is maintained through the scan. A data processor ( 23 ) collects the
data from the detected radiation and a coincidence circuitry ( 26 ) determines coincidence
radiation events occurring on the detectors  10a, 10b . A first set of image data is
generated for the first angular view and stored in a view memory ( 28 ). A second scan
is performed where the detectors ( 10a, 10b ) are shifted to a second angular view and the
detectors are moved along the longitudinal axis for a second selected time interval.
Radiation data is collected and a second set of image data is generated for the second
scan. The first and second sets of image data are combined and a reconstruction
processor ( 50 ) reconstructs the combined data into an image representation or a whole-body
tomographic image ( 60 ).

Abstract: A plasma display device is comprised of a plasma
display panel (10), a circuit board (11, 12) having a driving circuit
for driving the plasma display panel, a main frame (17) for
supporting the circuit board, and a uniform
heat-conducting plate (18) to be fixed to the plasma display
panel. In this structure, although the uniform
heat-conducting plate is fixed to the plasma display
panel by means of, for example, an adhesive, the main
frame can be detached from the uniform heat-conducting
plate when the plasma display panel is replaced. As a
result, various complicated structure such as a radiating
fin and a rib can be formed on the main frame because
consideration of the possibility of discarding the main
frame along with a PDP to be replaced is no longer
necessary. By forming the uniform heat-conducting plate
to be a simple structure so as to reduce its
manufacturing cost, and by forming the main frame to have
a complicated structure to improve its thermal nature and
the mechanical strength, the present invention is able to
realize a plasma display device having improved thermal
characteristics and mechanical strength without largely
increasing the manufacturing cost.
