Abstract: A threshold estimation method in a telephony system estimates (S1) downlink power Rx and uplink power Ry. Echo model parameter candidates ai and bi are recursively determined (S2) for delayed Rx values. The bi having the minimum value is selected (S3) as an echo model parameter bi and in the corresponding delay Δ (index i) is identified (S4) as the current echo delay. The model parameter candidate ai having the same delay is selected (S5) as model parameter a. The current echo return loss ERL is estimated (S6) from the estimated values of a and b. The current clip level is estimated (S7) from the estimated value of ERL and the estimated value of Rx that was measured Δ time steps previously.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making an optical fiber fusion joint between two dissimilar single mode optical fibers (10,40) where the fibers have different core sizes and/or refractive index profiles due to different patterns of dopant. In one embodiment, one fiber is a standard step-index communication fiber, and the second fiber is a dispersion compensating fiber with a multiple layer refractive index profile. In a second embodiment, the second fiber has a smaller core and a higher NA, up to about 0.3. A diffused dopant region, with a gradual longitudinal variation in diffusion extending over at least 3mm in each fiber, is formed adjacent to the splice. The diffusion of the various dopants in the second fiber tend to cause its refractive index profile to converge optically to that of the diffused step index communication fiber. As a consequence, the optical losses associated with the splice are relatively low.

Abstract: In telecommunications networks, various kinds of information transfer occur where transmission periods are not transmitted. As a result of this, parts of the information packets contained in the concerned transmission periods are lost and the probability of loss of these information packets increases considerably. With the method according to the invention, the quality of information transfer is ensured in a telecommunications network where the information packet is coded and interleaved into at least two transmission periods. According to the invention, the method is characterized in that therein the transmission power of at least one transmission period related to the transmission of the same information packet is increased, when at least one transmission period is not transmitted. In another embodiment of the invention, the method is characterized in that the transmission power is increased of at least one transmission period of the same information packet, when at least one transmission period is not transmitted and when by increasing the transmission power the probability of loss of the information packet is sufficiently reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid-permeable surface material for absorbent disposable products such as nappies, incontinence pads, sanitary towels, panty liners or the like. The invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of such a surface material and an absorbent disposable product which utilizes such a surface material. The liquid-permeable surface material (21) comprises a material structure (22) in micro-scale with many pores (23, 23', 23''). Each of the many pores has, in the plane of the surface material, a first pore cross section dimension (2a), a second pore cross section dimension (2b), a pore cross section area and a pore circumference, where the second pore cross section dimension (2b) is essentially at right angles to the first pore cross section dimension (2a). According to the invention, before use in an absorbent product the liquid-permeable surface material (21) has been subjected to a stretching process in order to obtain a low pressure drop when liquid passes through. As a result of the stretching process the first pore cross section dimension (2a) has become considerably larger than the second pore cross section dimension (2b).

Abstract: The invention relates to a set-up of measuring instruments for the parallel readout of SPR sensors. The aim of the invention is to provide a measuring arrangement for the parallel readout of a plurality of SPR sensors, wherein the readout process should be terminated within an integration period of less than 30 minutes.
