Title: Iterative eigenvector computation for a mimo communication system
Inventor: WALLACE MARK S
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2005-03-15
Abstract: A matrix (I) of eigenvectors is derived using an iterative procedure. For the procedure, an eigenmode matrix Vi is first initialized, e.g., to an identity matrix. The eigenmode matrix Vi is then updated based on a channel response matrix (II) for a MIMO channel to obtain an updated eigenmode matrix Vi+1. The eigenmode matrix may be updated for a fixed or variable number of iterations.  The columns of the updated eigenmode matrix may be orthogonalized periodically to improve performance and ensure stability of the iterative procedure. In one embodiment, after completion of all iterations, the updated eigenmode matrix for the last iteration is provided as the matrix (III).

Patent CA-2573402-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HANSEN BERND
IPC: A61J1/06
Filed: 2005-07-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a receptacle comprised of an elastically flexible plastic material, comprising a dosing chamber (10), inside of which a medium to be discharged is located. One end of the dosing chamber (10) has a discharge opening (18), and the opposite end is connected via a junction point (20) to a compressible receptacle part (22) inside of which an, in particular, gaseous propelling medium is located. When compressing the receptacle part (22), the propelling medium forces, at least in part, the medium to be discharged out of the dosing chamber (10) via the discharge opening (18). An increased functional reliability in every application is ensured by virtue of the fact that the junction point (20) between the dosing chamber (10) and the receptacle part (22) is formed by a bottleneck provided for creating a capillary effect that, independent of the spatial position of the receptacle, prevents a transfer of the medium to be discharged from the dosing chamber (10) into the receptacle part (22) containing the propelling medium.

Patent CA-2583016-A1 (CA)
Title: Foam delivery system
Inventor: MOROSCHAN CASEY
IPC: E02D3/12
Filed: 2007-03-13
Abstract: A foam delivery system comprises two delivery tubes providing a mixing chamber with a two-part polymeric foam. The mixing chamber mixes the two-part polymeric foam below a ground surface. A delivery manifold with delivery arms discharges the two-part polymer resin from the foam delivery system. A method of distributing a foam delivery systems comprises lowering a foam delivery system below a ground surface and discharging a polymer resin into the ground surface from a mixing chamber located below the ground surface. The mixing chamber discharges the polymer resin while the mixing chamber is lifted towards the ground surface, providing an expanding base of polymer resin. In that the chemicals are mixed at depth, that is, at the depth of the desired injection points, the possibility of premature setting and plugging of the delivery system is negated. An injector, comprising the mixing chamber and the delivery manifold, mixes the two-part chemical system at depth and then simultaneously distributes the mixed chemicals to up to six injection points at any desired depth.
