Granted: 2006-01-24
Abstract: DTV signals transmitted over the air with a symbol rate of around 10.76 million samples per second include echo-cancellation reference (ECR) signals each of which includes or essentially consists of a repetitive-PN1023 sequence with baud-rate symbols, which repetitive-PN1023 sequence incorporates a number of consecutive data-segment synchronization signals. Receivers for these DTV  signals respond to these ECR signals to generate initial weighting coefficients for adaptive filters used for channel equalization and echo suppression. The initial weighting coefficients are calculated from a cepstrum extracted from the repetitive-PN1023 sequence ECR signal by DFT methods or with a PN1023 auto-correlation match filter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of electrochemical cells and fuel cells, and more specifically to polymer-electrolyte-membrane (PEM) fuel cells. It provides a process for the manufacture of catalyst-coated substrates for membrane fuel cells. The catalyst-coated substrates (e.g. catalyst-coated membranes ("CCMs"), catalyst-coated backings ("CCBs") and catalyst-coated tapes) are manufactured in a new process comprising the coating of the substrate with a water-based catalyst ink in a compartment maintaining controlled humidity and temperature. After deposition of the ink, the substrate is subjected to a leveling process at controlled humidity and temperature conditions. Very smooth and uniform catalyst layers are obtained and the production process is improved. The catalyst coated membranes (CCMs), catalyst coated backings (CCBs) and catalyst-coated tapes manufactured according to this process are used in the production of three-layer and five-layer MEAs. These MEAs find use in PEMFC and DMFC stacks.
