Abstract: Solid oxide stacks are used as fuel cells in order to generate electricity from hydrogen or other fuel sources. By an electrolysis process such standard fuel cells can be operated in order to create hydrogen or other electro chemical by-products. Unfortunately stacks 1 generally operate at relatively high temperatures which will be difficult to sustain purely on economic grounds. In such circumstances less efficient operation can be achieved at lower temperatures where the air-specific resistance is higher by balancing with the electrical power input in order to cause the disassociation required.  In such circumstances by provision of an incident heat source, whether that be through a heat exchanger heating the compressed air flow, or recycling of a proportion of exhaust from the stack, or combustion of a product from stack disassociation the result will be a sustaining electrolysis operation reducing the amount of expensive electrical supply required to achieve dissociation.

Abstract: A system and method for landmark navigation employing optical beacons deployed at locations throughout a field of operation of a vehicle. The optical beacons emit or reflect an optical signal at a predetermined blink frequency. The locations of the optical beacons may or may not be known to the vehicle. At least one imaging device on the vehicle, such as a digital camera, captures images in the field of operation, and in particular a pair of image frames such that the time interval between the image frames of the pair is equal to one- half of the blink period of the optical signal. Data is generated that represents a difference frame between two image frames captured by the imaging device. Pixel locations of optical beacons in the difference frame are identified. The position and orientation of the vehicle is determined from data representing pixel locations of optical beacons in the difference frame.

Abstract: A turn signal switch assembly is constructed having a switch stalk and junction box rotatably coupled using a shoulder bolt. The shoulder bolt has a shoulder area useful for allowing the switch stalk to rotate freely relative to the junction box. The threaded end of the shoulder bolt is turned and tightened into at least one corresponding threaded aperture in the junction box, thereby mechanically coupling the switch stalk to the junction box. The threaded end of the shoulder bolt also extends past a surface of the junction box so that the threaded end is exposed. The threaded end is mechanically transformed by an orbital riveting device so as to act as a positive locking feature. The shoulder bolt thereafter secures the switch stalk to the junction box using the mechanical advantages of a threaded connection in combination with the positive locking feature of a riveted connection.

Abstract: Techniques for transmitting acknowledgement (ACK) information in a wireless communication system are described. The system supports data transmission to multiple user equipments (UEs) on the same downlink resources with spatial division multiple access (SDMA). A base station sends a data transmission with multiple (M) layers to M UEs. The downlink resources used for the data transmission are associated with ACK resources used to send ACK information for the data transmission. The ACK resources may be partitioned into M portions, e.g., based on frequency division multiplexing (FDM). Each of the M layers is associated with a respective portion of the ACK resources. A recipient UE for each layer sends ACK for that layer on the associated portion of the ACK resources. For each ACK resource portion, one or more pilot symbols may be sent on one or more resource elements, and ACK symbols may be sent on remaining resource elements.

Title: Method and system for reducing contexts for context based compression systems
Inventor: CHAN STEVEN
IPC: H03M13/01
Filed: 2008-02-29
Granted: 2013-01-29
Abstract: For context based compression techniques, for example Context Based YK compression, a method and system for grouping contexts from a given context model together to cre-ate a new context model that has fewer contexts, but retains ac-ceptable compression gains compared to the context model with more contexts is provided. According to an exemplary embodi-ment a set of files that are correlated to the file to be compressed (hereafter called training files) are read to determine, for an ini-tial context model, the empirical statistics of contexts and sym-bols. In some embodiments, this includes determining the esti-mated joint and conditional probabilities of the various contexts and symbols (or blocks of symbols). The initial context model is then reduced to a desired number of contexts, for example, by applying a grouping function g to the original set of contexts to obtain a new and smaller set of contexts. In some embodiments the step of applying a grouping function comprises iteratively grouping a pair of contexts together to form a grouped context, wherein each grouped context represents a local minimum based on the empirical statistics.
