Abstract: A method and wireless communication apparatus for receiving a plurality of communication signals transmitted in a wireless code division multiple access format. A channel response for each received communication signal is estimated. A system response matrix using codes and the channel responses of the received communication signals is constructed. The system response matrix is used in connection with matched filtering the received communication signals and to produce an objective matrix. The filtered communication signals are processed in a cancellation feedback loop to produce a set of symbols of the received communications including iterative processing with an interference cancellation matrix and processing with a feedback interference construction matrix. Preferably, the objective matrix is functionally related to the interference cancellation matrix and the feedback interference construction matrix.

Abstract: In a surface acoustic wave device of the invention, a
metal oxide layer is formed on the surface of a
piezoelectric substrate having electrodes comprising Al or
an Al alloy in such a way as to cover at least the
electrodes. The metal oxide layer is formed by oxidization
of a metal layer thin enough to provide no continuous film.
At least a region of the metal layer on the electrodes,
wherein the metal layer is present in a discontinuous film
form, is so changed by oxidization to a continuous film that
more improved effect on prevention of corrosion is
achievable. In addition, the provision of the metal oxide
layer has no substantial influence on the electrical
properties of the surface acoustic wave device.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for generating encryption stream ciphers are based on a recurrence relation designed to operate over finite fields larger than GF(2). A non-linear output can be obtained by using one or a combination of non-linear processes to form an output function. The recurrence relation and the output function can be selected to have distinct pair distances such that, as the shift register (52) is shifted, no identical pair of elements of the shift register (2) are used twice in either the recurrence relation or the output function. Under these conditions, the recurrence relation and the output function also can be chosen to optimize cryptographic security or computational efficiency. Moreover, it is another object of the present invention to provide a method of assuring that the delay that results for the encryption process does not exceed predetermined bounds. To this end the ciphering delay is measured and if the estimated delay exceeds a predetermined threshold a second ciphering method is employed to limit the accumulated delay of the ciphering operation.

such as heavy components and waxy components that may be
produced in the method is reduced. In one aspect, the catalyst
is prepared by contacting (a) any of clay, clay minerals and
ion-exchange layer compounds with (b) a transition metal
complex of which the center metal is a transition metal of
Groups 8 to 10 of the Periodic Table, for a period of at least
10 minutes, and the catalyst is used for ethylene
oligomerization to produce α-olefins. In another aspect, the
catalyst is prepared by contacting (a') any of clay, clay
minerals or ion-exchange layer compounds having been processed
with an alkylating, with (b) a transition metal complex of which
the center metal is a transition metal of Groups 8 to 10 of
the Periodic Table, wherein the component (a') is such that
its suspension formed by adding an inert medium thereto
releases at most 1 mmols, per gram of the component (a'), of
the alkylating agent in the medium, and the catalyst is used
for ethylene oligomerization to produce α-olefins.

Abstract: The present invention provides virus vectors of the family
Paramyxoviridae in which the transcription start (S) sequence has
been modified so as to modify the expression of genes located
downstream thereof, a method for producing the vectors, and uses
thereof. By measuring the transcription initiation efficiency of the
S sequence of each gene carried by Sendai viruses (SeV), it was
clarified that the S sequence of F gene has a significantly lower
ability to promote transcription than the other three S sequences.
When the S sequence of the F gene of wild type Sendai virus was
substituted by the S sequence of the P/M/HN gene-type showing a high
transcription initiation efficiency, the F gene of the resultant
Sendai virus mutant and genes located downstream thereof show elevated
expression levels. It was also revealed that this mutant
proliferates more quickly than the wild type. The vectors of this
invention are useful in elevating the expression of foreign genes
and producing pharmaceutical compositions and vaccines.
