Abstract: A method of calculating coefficients determining excitation amplitudes
and phases for obtaining a desired antenna pattern of a circular array antenna
comprising a plurality of antenna elements disposed circularly. Coefficients for
a linear array antenna having the same number of antenna elements as the
circular array antenna are determined by a Fourier series expansion in integral
limits calculated from a beam direction and a beam width that are estimated
from incoming radio waves and then are transformed into the coefficients for the
circular array antenna. With this method, the beam direction and the beam
width of the antenna pattern of the circular array antenna can be set at will.
Consequently, this method enables adaptive control of sectored beams of
sectored antennas at a base station or the like used for a mobile communication
system, thus enhancing efficiency of the use of the antennas.

Abstract: A reference time distribution system and method use a data transmission network having a plurality of nodes to distribute the House Sync signal. A network-wide time signal is generated using a reference time generator, and the network-wide time signal is then distributed over the network to the plurality of nodes. At each node, the network-wide time signal is converted to a local synchronization signal for use in performing synchronization of the timing of each node. Either network-inherent timing and/or additional time signaling is used to provide the nodes attached to this network with a network-wide notion of time. The time information is converted locally into synchronization signals or time information as required by a respective application. When data is transported over the network, delay compensation is performed to simultaneously output different data streams that have been synchronously input into the network, regardless of the data path.

Abstract: Un traitement orthodontique classique implique souvent l'utilisation d'appareils de repositionnement de base, tels que des arcs dentaires, et l'utilisation d'appareils, composants ou accessoires supplémentaires pour obtenir les résultats finaux désirés. Lesdits composants peuvent être montés sur des appareils fixes, non amovibles ou ils peuvent faire partie d'un dispositif amovible habituellement porté avant l'application des appareils fixes. Comme dans un traitement classique, on peut vouloir utiliser des composants similaires lors du repositionnement des dents avec des dispositifs de repositionnement élastiques amovibles. Du fait de la nature des dispositifs élastiques, de tels composants peuvent avoir des formes variées, allant des accessoires classiques facilement disponibles aux appareils créés spécialement. C'est pourquoi, les composants classiques peuvent être montés ou inclus dans un dispositif élastique, ou l'appareil peut être moulé, de manière à ce que des composants similaires soient obtenus. Ainsi, l'appareil peut être modifié, de sorte que des caractéristiques additionnelles soient obtenues pour des traitements orthodontiques spécifiques.
