Title: Noise in a first communication channel is estimated and compensated for using noise measurements in adjacent channels
Inventor: ARONSTAM PETER S
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2006-04-04
Abstract: A system of transferring information comprises transmitting a data signal and a known signal from a first location over a signal channel ChB having a first noise component NIB. A second noise component NIAis measured in a noise channel ChA adjacent the signal channel. The data signal, the known signal, and the first noise component are received at a second location. The first noise component is estimated based on the second noise component and may be estimated based on a combination of the second noise component and a third noise component NICtaken from a second adjacent channel ChC. The estimated noise component is combined with the received data signal and the received known signal to generate noise-cancelled received data and received known signals. The noise-cancelled received known signal is processed to obtain an estimate of the channel transfer function. The estimated channel transfer function is combined with the noise-cancelled received data signal to reconstruct the transmitted data signal.

The electrically conducting material of the collar 56 has a melting point that is less than that of the superconducting filaments 52 and an electrical conductivity greater than that of the superconducting filaments 52 at the temperature of operation of the ultrasonic welding process. The application of pressure and mechanical oscillation may be performed by placing the collar 56 containing the filaments 52 onto a surface of an anvil structure 60 of an ultrasonic welding machine, whereby an actuator (e.g. sonotrode 62) bears upon the collar and oscillates in a plane 64 parallel or perpendicular to a surface of the anvil structure 60.
