Abstract: In a CDMA data communication system capable of variable rate transmission, utilization of beamforming techniques decreases the average interference caused by transmissions of a base station (104) to subscriber stations (112) in neighboring cells (124). Base stations (102, 104) utilize multiple transmit antennas (106, 108), each transmitting signals at controlled phases, to form transmit signal beams (110, 118, 122) corresponding to individual subscriber stations (112, 116, 114). Data and reference signals are transmitted along beams (110, 118, 122) that change according to fixed time slots and subslots in order to maximize carrier-to-interference ratios (C/I) measured at subscriber stations (112, 116, 114).

Abstract: The invention presented is a novel method and apparatus for generating PN sequences with an arbitrary number of bits, where the number of bits is provided in parallel with each clock pulse. This allows the sequences to be generated at high speed when needed, and allows parallel processing in the acquisition and demodulation processes. In the invention, the initial values of states are loaded into registers of a parallel PN generator, which immediately generates the next n bits of the PN sequence, where n is an arbitrary number dependent on performance required. Then, a first sub-part of the PN generator of the present invention receives the present state of the PN generator and outputs the state of the PN generator n bits in the future. The output of this first sub-part is then provided to a second sub-part of the generator, which generates the next n bits of the PN sequence. In this fashion, the entire PN sequence can be continuously generated. The PN generator also contains a control processor, coordinating co-operation between sub-systems.

Inventor: FAIRBANKS SCOTT M
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2000-09-25
Abstract: L'invention concerne un capteur de type Müller à deux étapes. La première étape consiste en une porte NON-ET une porte NON-OU, chacune commandée par toutes les entrées du capteur. La seconde étape, les sorties des deux portes sont utilisées séparément pour commuter deux transistors de sortie, qui commandent la sortie du capteur. Un basculeur de blocage sert à retenir la valeur de sortie entre les changements. Du fait que le courant de chaque porte est appliqué sur un seul transistor de sortie, le décalage est réduit. De plus, un transistor de sortie superflu est déconnecté dès que logiquement possible, souvent durant l'intervalle disponible lorsque la valeur d'entrée diffère, ce qui réduit à la fois le décalage et le courant de croisement. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, les portes NON-ET et NON-OU comprennent chacune une paire de séries de transistors et une paire de transistors parallèles. Ces transistors parallèles, dans ces système de mesure, collaborent afin de changer la valeur de sortie lorsque toutes les entrées changent simultanément, ce qui permet l'utilisation de transistors parallèles dont la largeur est inférieure à celle des transistors normalement utilisés dans des portes NON-ET et NON-OU. Grâce à ces plus petits transistors, les entrées sont plus faciles à commander, ce qui augment la vitesse du circuit.

Abstract: Improved laser eye surgery and/or eye tracking systems, methods, and devices make use of two image capture devices, generally with both image capture devices disposed off the optical axis of the eye and/or any laser delivery system. This provides an enhanced imaging contrast for an imaging capture device such as a camera with a charge-couple device (CCD), particularly when using infrared imaging to track a pupil of the eye. The two off-axis cameras may be used independently to track movements of the pupil along two orthogonal lateral axes of the eye (often called X-Y tracking), and may also indicate a position of the eye along the optical or Z axis.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé d'estimation de rendement volumétrique d'un moteur (10) à combustion interne présentant une variation de phase de came d'admission et d'échappement. Ce procédé compense une estimation nominale ou de base du rendement volumétrique en deux étapes successives: une étape d'admission (122), et une étape d'échappement (124). L'étape d'admission (122) compense l'effet de variation de la came d'admission, par l'utilisation de l'estimation de rendement volumétrique de base comme point de départ; et l'étape d'échappement (124) compense l'effet de variation de la came d'échappement, par l'utilisation du résultat sorti de l'étape d'admission comme point de départ. Le rendement volumétrique ainsi compensé est ensuite utilisé pour calculer précisément le débit massique de l'air d'admission de façon à contrôler le moteur.

Abstract: A wireless-global positioning system determines the location of a wireless
mobile communication device from reliable position measurements and wireless
network downlink measurements. The wireless network downlink measurements
obtained are then used in conjunction with a database for pattern matching or contour
matching. The difficulty of building and maintaining that database is alleviated by
using those network downlink measurements associated with the reliable position
measurements to populate the database, such as GPS measurements or those obtained
through enhanced based positioning technique (EOTD). The increased database
accuracy subsequently improves the quality of position location measurements from
the wireless network.
