Title: System and method for multiple-input multiple-output (mimo) radio communication
Inventor: SUGAR GARY L
IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 2003-07-25
Granted: 2012-04-03
Abstract: A system, method and device for MIMO radio communication of multiple signals between a first device (100) having N plurality of antennas (110) and a second device (200) having M plurality of antennas (210). At the first device, a vector s representing L signals to be transmitted is processed with a transmit matrix A to maximize capacity of the channel between the first device and the second device subject to a power constraint that the power emitted by each of the N antennas is less than or equal to a maximum power. The power constraint for each antenna may be the same for all antennas or specific or different for each antenna. For example, the power constraint for each antenna may be equal to a total maximum power emitted by all of the N antennas combined divided by N. The transmit matrix A distributes the L signals among the N plurality of antennas for simultaneous transmission to the second device. At the second device, the signals received by the M plurality of antennas are processed with receive weights and the resulting signals are combined to recover the L signals.

Abstract: The invention aims to provide a method for the manufacture of a sorbent which permits targeted separation of a substrate from a substrate mixture. Accordingly, the invention provides a method for the manufacture of at least one sorbent having at least two different groups, which are capable of binding, for the selective binding of a substrate.  The method involves the steps of: (i) determining at least two groups capable of binding a sorbent from a synthetic or natural first substrate, (ii) respectively applying at least two different groups capable of binding a second synthetic or natural substrate to one respective carrier, thereby forming at least one sorbent, whereby the groups are the same groups of step (i) or are groups that are complementary thereto, and the second substrate of step (ii) is the same or different from the first substrate according to step (i). The groups are determined such that the contributions of the Gibbs energies of the individual groups to the non-covalent bond with the second substrate yield a negative value of the Gibbs energy .DELTA. G, such that a binding strengthening occurs that results in an improved separation selectivity with respect to at least one substance to be separated off.
