Abstract: A method of estimating a digitised data signal transmitted as a sequence of data symbols. The received signal is generally distorted by transmission through a dispersive communications channel. The received symbols can exist in a plurality of different states depending on the number of symbols in the data alphabet and the extent of intersymbol interference. In the present method a near-instaneous soft decision is made (without the need for memory storage) for each estimated symbol using the following main steps. 1) Determine for each state at a given time increment k the respective partial path metric (M A ) in respect of the state transition corresponding to the transmission of a first symbol type (A). 2) Determine for each state at the same time increment k the respective partial path metric (M B ) in respect of the state transition corresponding to the transmission of a second symbol type (B). 3) Select the maximum value (M Amax  and M Bmax ) of the first and second symbol type partial path metrics. 4) Difference the two maximum values at step 3 to yield an estimate of the transmitted data symbol in the form of a soft decision. The soft decision has the advantage that it conveys confidence level information about the estimate or decision made.

Abstract: A mobile disinfection installation for the continuous disinfecting of hospital waste is described, it being possible for this installation to be arranged on a trailer, a mobile bridge or the like and thus be brought without difficulty to a place of use. The contaminated hospital waste is charged into a funnel, is passed from the latter through a cutting mechanism to a screw conveyor which is at disinfecting temperature, and is then passed onto a conveyor belt which discharges the waste, now reduced in volume and disinfected, which can then be disposed of in the same way as domestic refuse. By means of a logical distribution of space in the useful chamber of the disinfection installation, the components of the disinfection installation can be accommodated in the very limited space available, the compact installation producing excellent results because of the high power density of the individual components. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The porosities of subsurface earth formations surrounding a borehole are investigated using a logging tool (10) run in the wellbore by repeatedly irradiating the formations with discrete bursts of high energy neutrons (12), measuring the populations of epithermal neutrons at near (16) and far (16) locations from the neutron source (12), and also measuring the rate of decay of the epithermal neutron population at a third location (20) following each neutron burst and deriving therefrom a measurement of the epithermal neutron slowing down time. Formation porosity values derived from the near-and-far location population measurements are corrected for detector standoff effects by use, in accordance with a predetermined empirical relationship, of the epithermal slow down time measurement. Alternatively, formation porosities may be derived both from the near-and-far location measurements and from the epithermal slowing down time measurement, and the two differently-derived porosity values may be used independently to provide enhanced information of formation porosity or they may be compared to derive a standoff-corrected porosity value.

Abstract: Radiated light with a specified wavelength from a material (21, P, 201) is detected and a first parameter corresponding to the emissivity ratio is obtained from the detection signal. Since the emissivity takes on different values according to the condition of the surface of the material, the first parameter changes depending on the surface condition of the material. There is a correlation between a physical value indicating a condition of the material surface and the first parameter. The correlation remains equivalent even if a second parameter corresponding to the physical value is used instead of the physical value itself (for example, an optical physical value such as reflectivity and absorptivity, the thickness of a film formed on the material surface, the surface roughness, and the degree of galvannealing). As an example of the parameter corresponding to the physical value, there is the logarithmic ratio between emissivities (ln ε a /ln ε  b ) corresponding to the temperature in the vicinity of the surface. Therefore, a second parameter can be obtained on the basis of the correlation and a physical value can be obtained. When the emissivity or logarithmic emissivity ratio is used as the second parameter, the temperature in the vicinity of the material surface can be obtained from the second parameter and the detection signal.
