Granted: 2010-01-12
Abstract: On a transparent substrate (1), a first alternating periodic layer (5) including low-refractive-index layers (2) and high-refractive-index layers (3), a second alternating periodic layer (6) including the low-refractive-index layers (2) or the high-refractive-index layers (3) and intermediate-refractive-index layers (4), and a third alternating periodic layer (7) including the low-refractive-index layers (2) and the high-refractive- index layers (3) are provided in this order. The refractive index of the intermediate-refractive-index layers (4) is higher than that of the low-refractive-index layers (2) and lower than that of the high-refractive-index layers (3). Furthermore, the intermediate-refractive-index layers (4) contain materials for the low-refractive-index layers (2) and the high-refractive-index layers (3). A dichroic mirror thus configured has a narrow color separating band between a transmission wavelength band and a reflection wavelength band, and therefore has a satisfactory color separating efficiency. Accordingly, a projection-type display unit using the dichroic mirror provides satisfactory color reproduction while retaining a high spectrum utilization efficiency.

IPC: G01F1/74
Filed: 2006-07-20
Granted: 2010-06-22
Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the fraction of a first phase of a multiphase fluid flow stream, such as the amount of water in crude petroleum oil flowing from a production well or container. An electrical property, such as permittivity, and a physical property, such as density, are used as the basis of the improved characterization. The method is particularly well-suited to reduce salinity-dependent uncertainties for wells experiencing high water cuts. A time series of measurements is collected, and the extrema of the observed values are used to generate a hindsight auto-calibration and correction to the other values using knowledge of the degree of uncertainty in the measurements caused by variable salinity and variable phase state of the multiphase fluid. The hindsight auto-calibration and corrections thus permit more accurate measurements of the instantaneous and the cumulative amounts of each phase in the multiphase fluid flow stream.

Title: Unified pulse shaping for multi-carrier and single-carrier waveforms
Inventor: GORE DHANANJAY ASHOK
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2005-08-19
Granted: 2014-09-30
Abstract: To transmit a multi-carrier signal, a transmitter provides zero symbols for guard subbands, performs OFDM modulation, and filters the resultant time-domain samples with a pulse shaping filter. To transmit a single-carrier signal, the transmitter partitions the single-carrier signal into segments.  Each segment contains up to K samples and is padded, if needed, to the length of an OFDM symbol. Each padded segment is transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain to generate a corresponding frequency-domain segment with K symbols. For each frequency-domain segment, the symbols corresponding to the guard subbands are set to zero. Each frequency-domain segment is then transformed from the frequency domain to the time domain to generate a corresponding time-domain segment. A cyclic prefix may or may not be appended to each time-domain segment. Each time-domain segment is filtered with the same pulse shaping filter to generate an output waveform for the single-carrier signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to improved means for preventing eversion and subsequent obstruction of thin-walled, floppy gastrointestinal liners implanted in the digestive tract of an animal. The implantable devices include an anchor (705) adapted for attachment within a natural body lumen and a thin-walled, floppy sleeve (710) open at both ends and defining a lumen therebetween. A  substantial length of the sleeve has material characteristics that result in the sleeve being prone to eversion in the presence of retrograde pressures.  Exemplary eversion-resistant features provide an increased stiffness and/or an increased friction coefficient between the anchor and the proximal end of the sleeve to resist eversion. In some embodiments, the eversion-resistant feature includes an ant i -buckling element, such as a wire coupled along the substantial length of the sleeve.
