Abstract: A method of transmitting data in a wireless communication system from a transmitter to a receiver, comprising the steps of modulating data at the transmitter using a first signal constellation pattern to obtain a first data symbol. The first data symbol is transmitted to the receiver using a first diversity branch. Further, the data is modulated at the transmitter using a second signal constellation pattern to obtain a second data symbol. Then, the second data symbol is transmitted to the receiver over a second diversity path. Finally, the received first and second data symbol are diversity combined at the receiver. 
     The invention further relates to a transmitter and a receiver embodied to carry out the method of the invention.

Abstract: Durch den verstärkten Eintrag von gemischtem Altpapier als Rohstoffquelle bei der Papierherstellung werden große Mengen an festen oder wasserlöslichen, klebenden Bestandteilen in die Papiermaschinenkreisläufe mit eingetragen. Sie stellen eine wesentliche Ursache für so genannte "Stickies" dar, hydrophobe Agglomerate, die sich in Sieben und Filzen von Papiermaschinen anlagern und zu Papierbahnabrissen führen können. 
     Erfindungsgemäß wird der bei der Auflösung des Altpapiers entstehenden wässerigen Suspension ein kryogenes Medium, bevorzugt flüssiges Kohlendioxid zugeführt. Durch den Kälteschock beim Eintragen des kryogenen Mediums wird die Wirksamkeit der Kleberreste drastisch verringert. Um sogenannte "Mikrostickies" besonders effizient aus der Suspension zu entfernen, werden diese zuvor durch Zugabe eines geeigneten Mittels, insbesondere einer Quelle für Ca 2+  - lonen, zu Makrostickes agglomeriert, die durch bekannte chemische oder mechanische Trennverfahren aus der Suspension entfern werden können.

Abstract: A vibration reducing device, including an inertial mass actuator (10) adapted to be mounted on a vibration damping object, that applies a vibration damping force on the vibration damping object, the vibration damping force being a reactive force generated due to displacement of an inertial mass (12). A vibration state detector (14) detects the vibration state of the inertial mass (12). A controller (90) is connected to the inertial mass actuator (10) and vibration state detector (14). The controller (90) determines the displacement and velocity of the vibration damping object at a part where the inertial mass actuator (10) is mounted, and the displacement and velocity of the inertial mass (12), based on the vibration state of the inertial mass (12). The vibration damping force is controlled based on the determined displacement and velocity of the vibration damping object at the part where the inertial mass actuator (10) is mounted, and the displacement and velocity of the inertial mass (12).

Abstract: Each of the host transmitting/receiving blocks (11) of a plurality of I/O units (A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) connected to a CNC (1) reads the destination specification data and a diagnostic result bit each time the host transmitting/receiving block receives a signal packet from the CNC. When the diagnostic result bit indicates the execution of a diagnosis, the signal packet contains diagnostic DO data (b1), and the relevant DO signal output terminal is short-circuited to the relevant DI signal input terminal to form a diagnostic loop. The diagnostic packet signal passes through the diagnostic loop, the external signal transmitting/receiving block (12), and the host transmitting/receiving block (11) and returns to the CNC through the host transmitting/receiving block of an adjacent I/O unit closer to the CNC. The CNC analyzes the packet signal to determine whether each of the I/O units is operating normally or not.

IPC: H01L21/768
Filed: 2007-02-06
Abstract: A method of forming features, e.g. contact holes, at a higher density than is possible with conventional lithographic techniques involves forming an array of sacrificial positive features, conformally depositing a sacrificial layer so that negative features are formed interleaved with the positive features, directionally etching the sacrificial layer and removing the sacrificial features. The result is an array of holes at a higher density than the original sacrificial features. These may then be transferred into the underlying substrate using a desired process. Also, the method may be repeated to create arrays at even higher densities.

Abstract: A method for controlling a torque converter having an internal lockup clutch includes detecting vehicle operating conditions and executing one of a stored plurality of torque converter clutch modes each corresponding to a different set of vehicle operating conditions. A fully-released mode corresponds to vehicle pre-launch, a partially-engaged mode corresponds to post-launch of the vehicle in first gear, downshift, coasting, throttle tip-in, or throttle tip-out; a first fully-engaged mode corresponds to steady-state operation in second gear or a higher; and a second fully-engaged mode corresponds to an upshift. Slippage across the converter is controlled only during the first fully-engaged mode. A vehicle is also provided having an engine, transmission, torque converter with lockup clutch, and controller having a control algorithm. The algorithm executes a different lockup clutch mode based on the detected vehicle operating conditions, and the slippage across the converter is controlled during only one lockup clutch mode.
