Patent AT-E328430-T1 (AT)

Abstract: A sub-optimal method is disclosed for calculating the reliability values (soft values) for the bits of a multilevel signal. The log-likelihood values are approximated using only the dominant terms, so called max-log approximation, that is for each bit position only the two closest signal symbols of opposite bit value (S8,S6) are considered in the sum. The used modulation scheme is 16-QAM together with Gray-labelling. Two versions of approximation are proposed: one version consists of using the two distances between the received value and the two closest symbols of opposite bit value ( delta 1, delta 2). In order to simplify and speed up the calculation, the second version consists of using the distance between the two closest symbols ( delta 3) to approximate the distance between the second closest symbol and the received value. Furthermore, precalculated results are stored in look-up tables to speed up the calculation. <??>Possible applications are especially bit interleaved coded modulation (BICM) together with soft-input decoding. It is also of interest for TCM and BCM schemes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus that is employed to increase the data transfer capacity between transmitters and receivers for short-range data communication, particularly for the ISM frequency bands where different transmitters with different modulation and transmission methods operate in the same frequency band. The object is achieved by orienting antenna lobes that provide high antenna amplification towards transmitters and receivers in the local area of the apparatus, with the result that the distance loss between a transmitter and receiver becomes less than the distance loss represented by the lobes oriented away from the apparatus and the inbuilt amplification in the apparatus. In contrast to a normal "repeater" function for increasing a coverage area, the object is particularly achieved of increasing the capacity in an area where there is already a good transmission channel between transmitters and receivers. The various transmitters and receivers are divided into sub-networks that are isolated from one another, and where the connection is broken between transmitters and receivers that do not communicate with one another. By doing this on the physical level, one is independent of a chosen modulation method and transmission protocol. Thus the invention is especially suitable with the ISM frequency band where a countless number of known and unknown modulation methods and protocols may exist.

Abstract: The invention relates to an insecticide composition for application to a fabric material, typically a fabric material that forms a mosquito net. The composition includes an insecticide and a copolymeric binder that permits application of the insecticide to a fabric material and hence imparts hydrophobicity to the insecticide. The composition includes also a dispersing agent that, after application of the composition to a fabric material and upon wetting of the material, reduces the hydrophobicity imparted to the insecticide by the copolymeric binder and hence permits controlled, limited insecticide release. Insecticide release thus occurs only in limited quantities at intervals, particularly in response to the fabric material being exposed to wetting, such as when it is washed. Insecticide is thus rendered bioavailable for killing insects after multiple washes.

Abstract: The method involves using a DC rapid switching device with a switching unit (VS) and a quenching circuit parallel to the shaft section of the switching unit, consisting of a quenching capacitor (LK) connected in series with two antiparallel quenching thyristors (LT1,LT2) and an inductance (L). The switching process is initiated by a control command to open the metal contact of the switching unit at a certain time point. The first thyristor is fired at a defined time point dependent on the level and direction of the operating current. The second thyristor is fired at a time dependent on the quenching current's time profile. An independent claim is also included for rapid switching devices for quenching a DC current in a rectifier sub-mechanism for a railway current supply.

Abstract: This invention provides a mechanism, which allows a user's personal identification number (PIN) to operate independently from a biometric authentication system. This improvement reduces the administrative burden of having to keep a user's PIN synchronized with the PIN used to access the user's smart card (15) following successful biometric authentication. The first embodiment of the invention incorporates a cryptographic interface, which bypasses the PIN entry and allows the biometric authentication system to directly access card resources. The second embodiment of the invention provides a second system PIN having greater bit strength than the cardholder PIN. Both embodiments of the invention retrieve secrets (either a cryptographic key or system PIN) from a biometric database (60) by comparing a processed biometric sample with known biometric templates. The biometric authentication system incorporates a client-server architecture, which facilitates multiple biometric authentications. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to encapsulated or insulated devices. In certain environments and applications, it is necessary to protect devices from external agents. The present invention achieves this by providing a device comprising a segment of insulating material having an aperture defined therein. An element of active, for example positive temperature coefficient (PTC), material is received within the defined aperture. The element is substantially covered by a first metal layer on one side and a second metal layer on the opposing side. A first layer of insulating material substantially covers the first metal layer and a second layer of insulating material substantially covers the second layer of metal. A first terminal provides an external electrical connection to the first metal layer and a second terminal provides an external electrical connection to the second metal layer. The first terminal is connected to the first metal layer by a conductive interconnect which passes through the first insulating layer and the second terminal is connected to the second metal layer by a conductive interconnect passes through the second insulating layer. Moreover, the invention provides a method for manufacturing devices in a matrix form using conventional PCB techniques to facilitate the mass production of encapsulated devices. Additionally, the resulting components may be used as either leaded or SMT components in either single device or multiple device configurations in both SIP and DIP packages.
