Patent EP-2133830-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ABEDI SAIED
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2008-06-10
Abstract: A wireless sensor network having mobile sensors (64, 65) is provided with a mobile sink (70). To re-position the sink, candidate sink positions are found using information from the sensors. The candidate sink locations are then assessed to give a measure of their suitability to act as the new permanent position. To do this, the sink moves to each of the candidate positions in turn and obtains data and/or signals from the sensors (64, 65) within range to estimate a total throughput expected if the sink is located at that position. The sink then transfers to the most suitable candidate position permanently, until the dynamic repositioning process is triggered again. In this way it is possible to achieve a better performance than if only the centre of gravity of the sink range is taken into account to position the sink. In the second embodiment, sensors are allowed to have their say in future positioning of the sink; this involves providing a capability for the sensor that makes it possible to consider both distance from the sink and the remaining battery power to come up with the best desired maximum information rate. In effect, the sensors and sink make a collective decision on the future location of the sink.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus is arranged to communicate data bits via a predetermined number of sub-carrier signals of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbols. The predetermined number of sub-carrier signals is determined in accordance with one of a plurality of operating modes. The data processing apparatus comprises a parity interleaver operable to perform parity interleaving on Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) encoded data bits obtained by performing LDPC encoding according to a parity check matrix of an LDPC code, the parity check matrix including a parity matrix corresponding to parity bits of the LDPC code, the parity matrix having a stepwise structure, so that a parity bit of the LDPC encoded data bits is interleaved to a different parity bit position. A mapping unit maps the parity interleaved bits onto data symbols corresponding to modulation symbols of a modulation scheme of the OFDM sub-carrier signals. A symbol interleaver is arranged in operation to perform an odd interleaving process which interleaves first sets of data symbols on to the sub-carrier signals of first OFDM symbols and an even interleaving process which interleaves second sets of data symbols on to the sub-carrier signals of second OFDM symbols. However, when the modulation mode is a mode which includes half or less than half a number of sub-carrier signals than a total number of sub-carriers in the OFDM symbols for carrying the data symbols that can be accommodated by the interleaver memory, the data processing apparatus is operable to interleave the data symbols from both first and second sets in accordance with the odd interleaving process on to the first and second OFDM symbols. The data processing apparatus can therefore communicate data bits via OFDM symbols of, for example DVB-T2 or DVB-C2.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble de volet roulant constitué d'une pluralité de lames qui sont conçues pour s'ajuster de manière serrée les unes contre les autres, lorsqu'elles sont dans un état enroulé, de manière à réduire sensiblement le diamètre de l'ensemble de volet enroulé. Cette réduction du diamètre de l'ensemble de volet permet l'utilisation d'un logement plus petit pour l'ensemble de volet. Le logement plus petit augmente l'attrait esthétique de l'ensemble et diminue le matériau nécessaire pour le logement de l'ensemble et ainsi les coûts de l'ensemble de volet. L'ensemble de volet roulant comprend un élément de support de volet, un volet couplé à l'élément de support et une pluralité de rails pour guider le volet, tandis qu'il est soulevé ou abaissé. Les lames du volet comprennent une fixation à charnière le long de chaque partie de bord des lames.

Title: Catalyseur et procédé pour la conversion du gaz naturel en des composés de plus haute masse moléculaire
Inventor: BAGHERZADEH EBRAHIM
IPC: B01J23/00
Filed: 2008-04-25
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une composition et un procédé de catalyse facilitant le reformage oxydatif d'hydrocarbures de faible masse moléculaire, tels que le méthane, en d'autres hydrocarbures possédant deux atomes de carbone ou plus (''composés C2''). Les compositions dont la formule comprend un tungstène, un manganèse et un oxygène catalysent efficacement le reformage oxydatif du méthane tout en produisant un rendement de conversion et de sélectivité élevé. Le contrôle du débit du gaz d'alimentation et de la température du lit catalytique permet de surveiller la réaction exothermique OCM, évitant ainsi les réactions non contrôlées ou la cokéfaction. Un système de réacteur simple ou multiple peut être utilisé pour les réactions de reformage oxydatif. En utilisant deux réacteurs en série, les corps catalytiques produisent des rendements favorables de composés C2, en présence ou non d'une alimentation en oxygène diffusé, et avec ou sans refroidissement de l'effluent entre les étapes. L'extraction des produits finaux désirés de l'effluent du réacteur suivi du recyclage de l'effluent résiduel augmente le taux de conversion en produit final désiré et son rendement ultime.

The first unit is patient affixable and comprises a partly spherical inner surface (805) having a first center point (1230) that is adapted to receive a touch probe measurement head (420) for measuring the spatial position of the center point. The second unit is releasably attachable to an outer surface (808) of the first unit, and has a second center point (910), wherein the first center point and the second center point are substantially identical when the second unit is attached to the first unit. For stereotactic therapy, a patient is imaged with the first and second unit assembled. Then the second unit is detached.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des méthodologies qui facilitent l'emploi d'un précodage de liaison descendante en se basant sur la mesure de canal de liaison montante et une réciprocité de canal dans des systèmes duplex par répartition dans le temps ou multiplex par répartition dans le temps. En particulier, on propose un mécanisme qui permet le précodage de liaison descendante dans des situations où une configuration d'antenne d'équipement utilisateur comprend un nombre inégal de chaînes d'émission et de chaînes de réception. Un dispositif mobile transmet des signaux de référence de sondage modulés sur chaque antenne pendant un stade de calibrage. Le dispositif mobile transmet ensuite des signaux de référence de sondage non modulés pendant un mode normal. Une station de base utilise les signaux de référence de sondage non modulés et modulés pour rétablir une estimée de canal de liaison descendante employée dans un précodage de liaison descendante.
