Patent EP-1039684-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LAROIA RAJIV
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2000-02-28
Abstract: An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based spread spectrum
multiple access system using offsetting between cells, and in particular, the use of tone
offsetting and time offsetting, is disclosed. More specifically, frequencies that define the
tone set of one cell is offset from the frequencies that define the tone set of at least one
adjacent cell. In other words, if a first base station is using tones F 1 , F 2 , ..., F N  within a
frequency band, then a second base station adjacent to the first base station uses tones
F 1 +Δf, F 2 +Δf ..., F N +Δf within the same frequency band. Furthermore, the symbol timing
of the base-station of one cell may be offset from the symbol timing of the base-station of
an adjacent cell. Thus, if a first base station starts successive symbols at times T1, T2,
and T3, then a second base station adjacent to the first base station starts its respective
corresponding successive symbols at times T1+Δt, T2+Δt, and T3+Δt. For example, in a
cellular system with hexagonally shaped cells, the tone sets of two adjacent cells are
offset by 1/3 of the spacing between adjacent tones, and the symbol timings of two
adjacent cells are offset by 1/3 of a symbol period. Advantageously, the intercell
interference is more uniformly distributed among users in a cell.

Abstract: A seat capable of exhibiting improved seating characteristics comprises a
backing cloth member (5) of a one-piece structure stretchedly arranged from a seat
back section (3) of a seat frame to a seat cushion section (4) thereof. A net-like skin
member (6) of a one-piece structure is laminated on a front surface of the backing
cloth member (5) so as to extend from the seat backing section (3) to the seat cushion
section (4). The net-like skin member (6) includes a front mesh layer (61), a rear
mesh layer (62) and a number of piles (63) arranged between the front mesh layer
(61), and the rear mesh layer (62) to connect the front and rear mesh layers (61,62) to
each other therethrough. Such constriction permits a central region of the net-like
skin member which exhibits maximum cushion characteristics to be arranged at a
position corresponding to the hip to waist of a person on the seat, to thereby eliminate
a hard feeling of the frame member positioned at an interface between the seat back
section (3) and seat cushion section (4), resulting in seating characteristics of the seat
being highly improved.

Abstract: This process provides a new way to embed rare earth fluorides into silica (or germania-doped silica) glasses by solution chemistry. Embedding rare earth fluorides into a silica (or germania-doped silica) glasses comprises the following steps. The first step forms a porous silica core preform by OVD process. The second step submerges the preform into an aqueous solution of rare earth ions. The third step removes the preform from the solution and washes the outside surfaces of the preform. The fourth step submerges the preform into an aqueous solution of a fluorinating agent, such as ammonium bifluoride, HF or KF. Rare earth trifluorides precipitate out from the solution and deposit on the wall of pores. This is followed by drying.
