Abstract: A tilt controller controlling a tilt of an actuator of an optical pickup based on distortion-free control signals and an optical reproducing apparatus including the tilt controller. A control signal generator generates firs and second control signals to control the actuator. A reference control signal generator generates a reference control signal using the first and second control signals. A driving signal generator generates driving signals for the actuator using the first and second control signals, and the reference control signal.

Abstract: Tail-biting turbo code for arbitrary number of information bits. A novel means is presented in which, for most cases, no extra symbols at all need to be padded to an input sequence to ensure that a turbo encoder operates according to tail-biting (i.e., where the beginning and ending state of the turbo encoder is the same). In a worst case scenario, only a single symbol (or a single bit) needs to be padded to the input sequence. Herein, all of the input bits of the input sequence are interleaved within the turbo encoding. In the instance where the at most one symbol (or at most one bit) needs to be padded to the input sequence, then that at most one symbol (or one bit) is also interleaved within the turbo encoding. Moreover, any size of an input sequence can be accommodated using the means herein to achieve tail-biting.

Abstract: A bassinet (1) for prams, said bassinet having a bottom plate (3), an upper frame (5) and a canvas (7), which forms the walls of the bassinet in use. The bottom plate and the frame are connected to each other by means of at least one link (9), which can move the frame away from the bottom plate and thus stretch the canvas. The link comprises an upper link element (21) and a lower link element (17). The upper link element is articulated to the frame via an upper pivot axis (23) and the lower link element is articulated to the bottom plate via a lower pivot axis (19). The upper and lower link elements are articulated to each other via an intermediate pivot axis (25), which in an extended position is located outside a straight line between the upper and lower pivot axes and is prevented from moving further outwards. The link can thus receive great downward forces from the frame and, at the same time, easily be collapsed, without necessitating removal of a padded cover from the bassinet.
