Patent AU-4292700-A (AU)
Title: Microscale total analysis system
Inventor: ROSSIER JOEL S
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2000-03-28
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for performing chemical assays in an aqueous medium. The apparatus contains a reaction chamber(s) and a liquid in-flow channel connected to each chamber. The flow of liquid through the fluid in-flow channel to the reaction chamber is controlled by the presence of a hydrophobic inner surface on the walls of the in-flow channel. Under normal conditions fluid will not flow through the channel. However, application of an external force pushes the liquid through said channel into the reaction chamber. The invention is applicable to the monitoring of many different molecular interactions, in particular molecular recognition between an immobilised affinity partner and a species in solution, such as immunoglobulin/antigen interaction, DNA hybridisation, haptamer-protein interaction, drug and virus detection, high throughput screening of synthetic molecules and for determining the concentration and reaction kinetics of target species.

Title: Methods and apparatus for performing cell reselection for supporting efficiently hierarchical cell structures
Inventor: JANSEN KAJ
IPC: H04W36/04
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: A method for performing a cell reselection in a system comprised of a hierarchy of cells, wherein cells of one layer of the hierarchy have a size that differs from cells of another layer of the hierarchy. The method includes steps of (a) identifying to a user equipment a layer to which individual cells in a neighbor cell list are associated; (b) when performing neighbor cell measurements for reselection purposes, avoiding a measurement of cells in the list that are larger than a current serving cell unless a Cell Selection (S) parameter falls below a search threshold parameter (Ssearch), and is greater than zero; and (c), if S is less than or equal to zero, and no cell reselection to a better cell is in process, beginning a measurement of neighbor cells without regard for their hierarchical level. If the user equipment has made cell reselection to N different cells on the same hierarchical layer within a time Tmax, the user equipment initiates a reselection procedure for larger neighbor cells. This procedure accommodates user equipment that is moving at a relatively high speed through the cells. If the user equipment locates a larger cell, which fulfills cell reselection criteria Sn>0 and Qn>Qs+Qoffsets,n+Qhyst for a period of time Treselection, cell reselection to the larger cell is made. Furthermore, if the user equipment performs a cell reselection to the larger cell, the user equipment does not attempt to reselect to a smaller cell within a time X, unless an immediate cell evaluation is triggered, wherein the time X can be pre-specified, or can be set by the network.

Abstract: At least one of a p type semiconductor layer (111), an i type amorphous silicon-based photoelectric conversion layer (112), and an n type semiconductor layer (113) that compose an amorphous silicon-based thin film photoelectric conversion device is deposited under the following conditions. Silane-type gas as a main component of raw material gas which is supplied into a reaction chamber and dilution gas containing hydrogen are used, the flow rate of the dilution gas is four or less times that of the silane-type gas, the partial pressure of the silane-type gas in the plasma CVD reaction chamber ranges from 1.2 Torr to 5.0 Torr, and the distance between a surface of a substrate mounted on an anode electrode and a surface of a cathode electrode ranges from 8 mm to 15 mm. Accordingly, a method of manufacturing an amorphous silicon-based thin film photoelectric conversion device having a superior performance is obtained with an improved efficiency in the use of raw material gas as well as an enhanced deposition rate to achieve improvements in cost and efficiency in production.

Title: Antenna of waveguide type for receiving satellite signals
Inventor: PETERSSON STIG
IPC: H01Q15/06
Filed: 1999-05-20
Abstract: An antenna suited for receiving/transmitting electromagnetic signals from/to at least two satellites, which are fixedly placed at points on the geostationary path, is waveguide or lens type, formed by a multitude of waveguiding channels, which for example can be rotationally symmetrically arranged about an axis. Signals from remote points, which arrive in directions somewhat deviating from the direction of the axis, e.g. in an angle alphain thereto, exit after being refracted in the antenna in a different direction, so that the angle alphaut on the exit side differs from the angle alphain on the entrance side. It is achieved by having all of the waveguiding channels form suitably adapted angles to the axis. For a concave antenna it can give an increased separation between the positions, to which signals from remote objects are refracted by the antenna. It results in, for example, large more efficient receiver horns being used for the same size of the antenna.

Title: TDMA/FDMA/CDMA hybrid radio access systems
Inventor: DENT PAUL W
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 1998-01-16
Abstract: A radio access method for facilitating communication between at least one first station and a plurality of second stations is disclosed. First, each signal intended for transmission is buffered at a first station. The signals are then divided into equal length segments. The signal segments intended for a particular one of the second stations is transmitted using a corresponding time slot in a regularly repeating time multiplex frame. The signal segments transmitted by the first station are received at at least one of the second stations and the signal segments are assembled from successive corresponding time slots to reconstruct said intended signal. A transmit frequency channel uniquely associated with the corresponding receive time slot is determined at the second station. Finally, a signal intended for transmission to the first station is buffered in the second station and compressed for transmission using the transmit frequency channel during substantially the entire time period that the second station is not receiving. <IMAGE>
