Title: An asynchronous block CDMA system uses serial interference cancellation, based on the order of arrival of signals, to cancel multi-user interference
Inventor: BOCUS MOHAMMUD ZUBEIR
IPC: H04B1/7103
Filed: 2009-08-04
Abstract: A block spread code division multiple access transmission system comprises a plurality of user terminal transmitters which are configured to transmit signals to a base station receiver. The receiver uses a successive interference cancellation (SIC) scheme to mitigate against multiple access interference (MAI). Conventional SIC schemes process user signals in decreasing order of signal strength, but here asynchronously received signals are processed in the order in which they are received. Preferably, first and second blocks received from a first user are decoded and used to reconstruct interference, which is subtracted from a second user signal before decoding the first block of the second user signal. The transmitter applies precoding to each block of symbols by progressively rotating the phase of each block of symbols identically by a user-dependent amount to mitigate against inter-block interference (IBI).

Title: Electric converters
IPC: H02M7/06
Filed: 1936-04-06
Abstract: 473,281. Converting ; automatic regulation. SIEMENS BROS. & CO., Ltd., and DOUBLE, H. S. April 6, 1936, No. 10067. [Classes 38 (ii) and 38 (iv)] Relates to an arrangement for supplying a D.C. circuit TL from an A.C. circuit TA through a rectifier VA and transformer TRA and in which a saturable choke CAA, CHB is connected in the supply lead for effecting voltage regulation, a saturating winding being supplied through a rectifier AR, and consists in the provision of a tuned circuit CHX, CX which operates to cause fairly large changes in the supply to the saturating winding for small changes in the applied voltage. As shown, the rectifier is supplied partly from the secondary SW of the main transformer TRA and partly from the supply through an auxiliary transformer TRC, a bridge BB having ordinary resistances RX, RY and ballast resistances BRX, BRY, being included between the rectifier and the saturating winding. The choke CHX forming part of the resonant circuit has a saturated core so that small changes in voltage applied to the circuit cause large changes in current to the resistance bridge due to the circuit passing into and out of resonance. The saturable choke is also provided with a further saturating winding which is connected in series in the load circuit to give regulation in dependence on load. A delay action switch TH is provided to allow the valve filament to heat before the load is applied. A polyphase arrangement is described. The bridge BB may be replaced by the connection shown in Fig. 5 in which the saturating windings are in two opposing parts A and B, one part being in series with the ballast resistance BRX and the other in series with the resistance RX. In a modification of this, rectifiers may be included in series with the resistances BRX and RX instead of a separate rectifier bridge AR, Fig. 1, being used. A further modification is shown in Fig. 7 in which the saturating winding A is in series with a series-parallel connection of rectifiers RE1, RE2 and resistances BRX and RX. In a further modification of this, the winding A is connected between the points C, D and a further resistance is included in series in the supply leads. Specification 430,247 is referred to.

IPC: C23C14/06
Filed: 1966-03-08
Abstract: 1,086,603. Photoconductive device. GENERAL PRECISION Inc. March 8, 1966. No. 10183/66. Heading H1K. A photoconductive cell comprises successive layers of a thin non-conductive substrate, a thin electrode film having a slit therein, a cadmium selenide layer occupying said slit and extending at least partly over the electrodes, and a thin film of acceptor impurities over the cadmium selenide layer. A glass substrate is coated with a 20-50 Š film of indium which is oxidized by heating in air and subsequently vacuum coated with gold. A channel is etched in the gold-indium oxide film using aqua regia and then heated in air to remove impurities. The electrode-substrate system is degassed under vacuum by heating and a layer of CdSe evaporated thereon which is annealed by heating. The light and the dark resistivity of the coated substrate are measured, the coated substrate heated in forming gas (H 2  + N 2 ) and the resistivities again measured. A thin layer of oxygen-free copper is vacuum applied and the device heated in a reducing atmosphere after which its resistivities are again measured. The characteristics of the photoconductive device may be varied after manufacture, e.g. the dark resistivity may be raised by heating in air, or the light resistivity may be reduced by heating in forming gas. In alternative embodiments the gold electrode may be replaced by aluminium while the indium layer may be replaced by copper or omitted completely; the substrate may also be quartz or hard microscope glass. The electrode film may be divided into two by abrading whilst the steps of heating in air prior to cadmium selenide deposition and of heating in a reducing atmosphere prior to applying copper may be omitted; moreover argon may be used in place of the reducing atmosphere.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the controlled supply of radiation energy
IPC: G01J1/50
Filed: 1937-04-09
Abstract: 485,893. Photo - electric control of photographic exposures. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP CHEMISCHE FABRIEK L. VAN DER GRINTEN. April 9, 1937, No. 10189. Convention date, April 9, 1936. [Class 40 (iii)] [Also in Group XX] The supply of radiation, e.g. in copying photographic images, is controlled by allowing the radiation to fall on a light-sensitive diazo layer and terminating the supply of radiation when rays initially absorbed by the layer subsequently penetrate it owing to the decomposition of the diazo compound. The penetration may be observed directly or the penetrating rays allowed to fall on a screen which makes short wave rays visible or a photoelectric cell ionization chamber, or thermocouple. Other rays which have a disturbing effect on the observation may be filtered out. In the form shown, f is the body to be exposed to radiation, e.g. a blue-print layer, from the source a. Light from the source a also falls on a layer of a diazo compound b. c Is a filter for cutting out undesired rays and d a fluorescent screen. Rays from the source are initially absorbed by the layer b and after the diazo compound is decomposed pass to the screen d. The light from the screen may be employed to influence a photo-electric cell to operate a visible or audible signal and, if desired, means to cut off the supply of radiation. In a modified form, graded wedges tapering in opposite directions are arranged one on each side of the layer b, the penetration by the rays then taking place progressively across the layer so that different quantities of radiation may be determined by the extent of illumination on the screen. The wedges may be continuous or stepped. As diazo compounds p-diazodiethylaniline sodium sulphonate, p-diazo diphenylamine, p-diazo-o-chlor-dimethylaniline, or tetrazotolidine with filters comprising iodine in carbon tetrachloride and ammoniacal copper sulphate respectively may be used. In this case the penetrating rays are visible. In another example, the light source is a high pressure mercury vapour lamp in a bulb penetrable to ultraviolet light, the diazo compound is p-diazo-dimethyl-m-toluidine and the filter is Schott filter V.G.2, the rays being rendered visible by a screen of fluorescein, aesculin or quinine sulphate. In a further example an arc light is used for copying, the diazo compound is p-diazo-ethylbenzylaniline and a filter and screen as above are used. Oppositely directed wedges are arranged on opposite sides of the diazo layer and the viewing screen is divided by a scale. The light source may also be sunlight.
