Abstract: A mechanism for transferring mechanical energy onboard of a train of
carriages of a sorting machine includes a friction wheel fitted onto a
carriage. The wheel is rotated by friction caused by the engagement of the
wheel against a track on which the carriage travels, and is connected to an
electric generator disposed on the carriage. Rotation of the wheel is
transmitted to the generator to rotate the generator and produce electricity
for operating a belt(s) disposed on the carriage. The force with which the
wheel is pressed against the track is automatically changed in response to
changes in power requirements of the generator.

Abstract: A receiver comprises a plurality of antennas (108) for receiving signals originally transmitted as a plurality of different signals, for example from a MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output) transmitter. The receiver includes a plurality of coders (302) for applying a respective unique code to each received signal and a summer (306) for combining the coded signals into a single signal which is then down-converted by a single frequency translation stage (202) and digitised. An output signal corresponding to each received signal is obtained by a plurality of detectors (312) with reference to the codes used by the coders. In a preferred embodiment, the unique codes are orthogonal codes such as Walsh codes. The receiver enables a single frequency translation stage to be used to process a plurality of received signals, thereby both saving hardware and reducing the receiver's power consumption.

Abstract: A wireless communication system and method for controlling transmission power to maintain a received signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) as close as possible to a target SIR. A received quality is maintained as close as possible to a target quality based on block error rate (BLER). When a target BLER is converted to an initial target SIR, an error may occur due to a channel condition mismatch, since the target SIR required for the target BLER varies with channel conditions. An outer loop power control process is used to set a target SIR for each coded composite transport channel (CCTrCH) based on the required target BLER. The process adjusts a SIR step size parameter to maximize the convergence speed of the process.
