Patent CA-2432069-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NELSON JOHN C
IPC: G03B21/62
Filed: 2001-05-10
Abstract: Disclosed is a rear projection screen that includes a plurality of tapered waveguides and a light absorbing layer disposed over the tops of the waveguides, but that does not completely fill the spaces between the waveguides, thereby forming an interstitial low index region under the light absorbing layer and between the waveguides. The low index interstitial region can include air or a material that has a lower index of refraction than the waveguide material. This rear projection screen construction can give rise to increased efficiency and higher contrast, as well as allow for more design freedom in constructing screens that have desired characteristics such as viewing angle, viewing asymmetry, and the like. Also disclosed are methods for making the described microstructured rear projection screen.

Patent CA-2432347-A1 (CA)
Title: Multi-beam tdma satellite mobile communications system
Inventor: BJORNSTROM GUNNAR
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1995-05-16
Abstract: An earth station (8) receives a return signal (3) via more than one satellite link (4a, 4b) from a mobile terminal (2) using TDMA. The earth station (8) selects one or more of the satellite links (4a) for transmitting a forward signal (15) on the basis of the quality of signal (3; 15) received via each link. The earth section (8) allocates frequency channels to the mobile terminals (2) according to their location on the surface of the earth, so that the propagation time to and from those mobile terminals (2) which share the same frequency channel is approximately the same. The satellite (4a; 4b) includes an antenna which generates an array of beams which are individually pointed to fixed regions of the earth, until the elevation of the satellite (4a; 4b) relative to a fixed region falls below a minimum value, in which case the corresponding beam is redirected to a new area, while the other beams remain pointed at the corresponding fixed areas. In this way, beam-to-beam handover is reduced, while maintaining the boresight of the antenna pointing at the nadir.
