Abstract: A transmitter apparatus for transmitting a digital data signal via a transmission medium (10) includes an error protection encoder (3) for carrying out an error protection encoding on the digital data signal so as to obtain an error protection encoded digital data signal, and a channel encoder (6) for converting the error protection encoded digital data signal processed into a channel encoded digital data signal. The channel encoded digital data signal is supplied to the transmission medium. The error protection encoder (3) is adapted to carry out an error protection encoding step on packets of p m-bit digital words in the digital data signal, and for supplying error protection encoded packets (Q) of n m-bit digital words to an output, where n, m and p are integers larger than 1, and n>p. The channel encoder (6) is adapted to convert the error protection encoded packets of n digital words into converted packets (CP, CP') of digital words to form the channel encoded digital data signal and has a generator (60) for supplying at least fixed auxiliary packet (Qf.1, Qf.2) also having the length of n digital words. The channel encoder further includes a calculator (58, 66) for calculating, in a Galois field GF(2m), a converted digital word CWi in accordance with the formula DWi+ alpha 1xFW1.i+ alpha 2xFW2.i+ . . . , where DWi is the binary value corresponding to the i-th digital word in the packet (Q), FW1.i and FW2.i being the fixed binary values corresponding to the i-th digital word in the first and second fixed auxiliary packet (Qf.1, Qf.2), respectively, and CWi is the binary value of the i-th converted digital word in the converted packet (CP, CP') of digital words, where i is an integer value running from 1 to n.

Abstract: A method for molding a thermoplastic resin by filling a molten thermoplastic resin into a mold which comprises carrying out the molding of the resin while reducing the solidification temperature of the resin surface which contacts with the mold during the step of filling the resin. To this effect, a gas which has a high solubility in the resin is present in the mold cavity and is absorbed in the resin surface, thereby reducing its solidification temperature. According to this molding method, the state of the mold surface can be faithfully transferred to molded articles.

Abstract: Apparatus is described for carrying out chemical, physical or physico-chemical reactions between particles suspended in a liquid medium. The liquid medium is present in channels (1-8, 10, 40, 41, 42, 52, 72) on a generally planar substrate. The liquid medium does not have to flow through the channels, (1-8, 10, 40, 41, 42, 52, 72), but may remain stationary while the particles being reacted move through them. Associated with the channels (1-8, 10, 40, 41, 42, 52, 72) are electrode arrays which enable the particles to be moved, e.g., using dielectrophoresis or travelling wave dielectrophoresis. Complex processing schemes may be achieved using arrays of channels (1-8, 10, 40, 41, 42, 52, 72) and electrodes (20, 21, 22, 36, 56, 71). The apparatus may be manufactured, e.g., using photo lithographic and/or laser machining techniques.
