Abstract: A wireless communication system uses an adaptive air interface in which burst parameters are variable on a burst-by-burst basis, based on the reception quality of previous bursts and/or properties of the receiver or receivers of the burst. The parameter values are selected as sets which represent only some of the possible combinations of parameter values, to avoid redundancy in performance characteristics. Coding rates are selected to give a substantially constant increment in gain. Each burst may contain multiple FEC blocks with different coding rates. A unique word indicates the FEC coding rate of the first block and the first block identifies the coding rate of each of the subsequent blocks.

Abstract: In the step of forming an external connection electrode, at one end of each ink chamber (26), conductive resin (10) is applied into a plurality of ink chambers (26) and onto a plurality of protruding surfaces of a piezoelectric substrate (60) so as to form a single straight line to vertical intersect the direction of extension of the ink chambers (26). After this, abrasive finishing or grinding is performed to remove the conductive resin (10) from the protruding surfaces of the ink chamber walls. As a result, the conductive resin (10) filling inside the ink chamber (26) constitutes an electrode for an external connection. This reduces the electrostatic capacity attributed to the piezoelectric substrate. Moreover, it is possible to increase the ink jet head drive frequency. This reduces power consumption and provides an ink jet head having a high productivity and reliability and capable of high-speed printing as well as its manufacturing method.

Abstract: A method and a system for ensuring the operation of a field bus. In the method the field bus is controlled with two control servers one of which is at a time set active and one is set passive. The control servers are connected with a backup bus. In the method, a first message is sent at intervals from the active control server via said field bus to the passive control server, and the active control server waits for a response message to the first message from the passive control server. If the active control server does not receive said response message within a predetermined time, first data on the fault situation is set. The passive control server waits for said second message, in which case if the passive control server does not receive said first message within a predetermined time, second data on the fault situation is set. The invention also relates to a system, in which the method is applied, as well as to a control server to be used in the system.

Abstract: A method of scoring Oestrogen and Progesterone Receptors expression (ER and PR) from histological images determines the percentage of brown image blob area in total blob area and derives percentage thresholds to quantify scoring. Brown blob area proportion is then compared with the thresholds to provide a first contribution to scoring of ER or PR. The number of relatively dark pixels is then counted, pixel number thresholds are determined to quantify scoring, and the number of relatively dark pixels is compared with the thresholds to provide a second contribution scoring of ER or PR. The two contributions are then added to provide an overall scoring in the range 0 to 8 which may be taken as a final score or it may be scaled to a conventional range 0 to 3.
