Abstract: An adaptive modulation transmission system
is disclosed that is capable of assigning a
combination of a modulation parameter and a code
multiplicity according to a user requirement and a
propagation path condition between a transmission
device and a reception device. The transmission
device includes a signal modulation unit to modulate
data according to the modulation parameter, a code
multiplexing unit to perform code multiplexing
according to the code multiplicity, a code
multiplexing controller to select the code
multiplicity according to the required amount of
transmission data, and an adaptive modulation
controller. The adaptive modulation controller sets
a threshold of the propagation path quality to
define a region to which a combination of the
modulation parameter and the code multiplicity is
applicable, selects the combination of the
modulation parameter and the code multiplicity based
on a comparison result of the threshold and measured
propagation path quality, and outputs the selected
modulation parameter to the signal modulation unit.

Abstract: A technique for identifying an association between a consumer and an
electronic biller is provided. A biller transmits customer demographic data to an
identity service. The identity service generates a first entity identifier based upon the
received customer demographic data. The first entity identifier does not reveal any
customer demographic information. The identity service transmits the generated first
entity identifier and a biller identifier to an electronic bill presentment service. The
presentment service transmits consumer demographic to the identity service. The
identity service generates a second entity identifier based upon the received
consumer demographic data and transmits the generated second entity identifier to
the presentment service. The second entity identifier does not reveal any consumer
demographic information. After receipt of the first and second entity identifiers and
the biller identifier, the presentment service identifies an association between the
consumer and the biller and transmits a notice of the association.

Abstract: The system may function in a beam-up or a beam-down configuration.
An x-ray source provides an initial x-ray beam that is directed vertically
along a primary beampath to a sample located on a sample support. The small
angle scattered x-ray energy travels through a secondary beampath to a
detector. The primary and secondary beampaths may be evacuated and separated
from a sample chamber by fluid seals. Beam conditioning optics and a collimator may
be used in the primary beampath, and a beamstop used in the secondary beampath. The
sample chamber may have a microscope or camera, which may be movable, for
observing the sample, and a translation stage for moving the sample in at least two
dimensions.

Abstract: A tube support device or tube stake which is useful to support the tubes in the bundle and to mitigate the possibility of tube damage from flow-induced vibration in tube bundles in heat exchangers, condensers or other tube bundle equipment. The tube stake (10) comprises an elongated metal strip inserted in a tube lane (L) between the tubes (11A-11D) of the tube bundle. Raised-tube-engaging zones such as dimples or longitudinal corrugations are disposed in transverse rows (12-15) across the strip at successive longitudinal locations along its length; these tube-engaging zones extend laterally outwards from both faces of the strip to engage with tubes on opposite sides of the tube lane. The tube-engaging zones are preferably arranged so that they extend from the two faces of the strip in an alternate manner, with the tube-engaging zones in each row alternately extending from one face and then from the other along the row. This alternating arrangement within each transverse row (12-15) is preferably used with a second alternating arrangement in which the raised tube-engaging zones alternate from one side of the strip to the other at the same transverse location in successive rows. The tube stakes (10) may be used in conventional rectangular or triangular tube formations with the stakes inserted into alternate tube lanes to provide support for the tubes on both sides of the tube lane. Retention of the tube stakes (10) within the tube bundle can be coupled with easier insertion by using dimpled zones at the outer ends of the stakes and corrugations at the inner ends.
