Abstract: A CDMA mobile communication scheme capable of
increasing a number of sectors while not increasing a
number of perch channel spread codes and not jamming the
control channel traffic, so as to obtain the capacity
increase effect by the use of the sector configuration
effectively. At the base station, a perch channel spread by
an identical perch channel spread code assigned to the base
station is transmitted from each one of at least two
sectors of the base station. Then, upward signals from each
mobile station are received at more than one reception
sectors, the upward signals received at more than one
reception sectors are despread by using an identical uplink
spread code, and a maximal ratio combining of despread
upward signals is carried out, in a case of carrying out a
simultaneous reception at more than one reception sectors.
Also, downward signals are spread by using an identical
downlink spread code, and spread downward signals are
transmitted from more than one transmission sectors to each
mobile station, in a case of carrying out a simultaneous
transmission from more than one transmission sectors.

Abstract: A data communications system includes a standard tele-communications
apparatus (1) arranged to transport analogue signals in a form of Adaptive Differential
Pulse Code Modulated (ADPCM) digital signals generated from Pulse Code
Modulated (PCM) digital signals representative of the analogue signals. A mapping
data processor (13) coupled to a source (14) of digital data and to an ADPCM encoder
(3) of the standard telecommunications apparatus (1), generates PCM coded symbols
representative of the digital data in accordance with a predetermined mapping
function. An unmapping data processor (15) connected to an ADPCM to PCM
decoder (10) of the apparatus (1) operates to re-generate the digital data from
communicated PCM signals. The mapping and unmapping data processes are
arranged in combination with the PCM and ADPCM encoding and decoding
operations to provide a substantial increase in a rate of data communication, with
respect to a data rate which would be achieved if the digital data were to be converted
into analogue signals and fed to a PCM encoder of the standard telecommunications
equipment.

Abstract: An electronic probe assembly having a probe for introduction into a vessel, which
vessel has a corrosion resistant liner. The assembly comprises a ring having a body
wherein the body is defined by a circumferential exterior surface, an upper sealing
surface, a lower sealing surface and a central surface defining a central hole. The body
also has a probe access hole passing through the body from the exterior surface to the
central hole. The upper surface, lower surface and defining surfaces of the central hole
are covered by a contiguous layer of a corrosion resistant metal, which is preferably
tantalum. A probe is mounted in the probe access hole such that an end of a sensor
portion of the probe is integral with said lining over the central surface and such that the
probe may be connected with an electrical conductor through the probe access hole. The
end of the sensor preferably comprises platinum which is welded to the tantalum to
become integral therewith. The assembly is readily mounted to a vessel at a flange
surface by placing a first corrosion resistant gasket between the lower sealing surface and
the flange surface and a second corrosion resistant gasket between the upper sealing
surface and a cover and tightening the cover to the flange thus compressing and holding
the gaskets and allowing access of the sensor to the interior of the vessel and otherwise
electrically isolating said assembly from the interior of the vessel.
