Title: System and method for decoding a message using a priori information
Inventor: SNOW CHRISTOPHER HARRIS
IPC: H03M13/15
Filed: 2010-11-08
Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for decoding digital data received by a correspondent device (154) over a communication channel (156). The data includes a component corresponding to a plurality of values unknown to the correspondent device (154) and a component corresponding to one or more values known a priori by the correspondent device (154). To perform decoding, the correspondent device (154) retrieves from memory (162) at least one of the one or more known values.

Abstract: The oligomerization of ethylene using a chromium catalyst and an aluminoxane activator is well known. The undesired formation of polyethylene as a by- product is also known to occur during prior oligomerization processes. We have discovered that the use of an aluminoxane that is prepared by non-hydrolytic means provides a highly productive activator (co-catalyst) for ethylene oligomerization and mitigates the undesired formation of by-product polyethylene.
