Abstract: Techniques for synchronization of stored service parameters are disclosed. In one aspect, a configuration identifier is transmitted (370) from a mobile station (106) to a base station (104), and compared with an identifier generated in the base station (380). If the identifiers match, the configuration is used for communication (390). In another aspect, the identifier is generated by selecting an identifier associated with a configuration from a configuration table (610). In yet another aspect, the identifier is generated by computing a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the configuration (320). Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of preventing attempted use of unsynchronized stored service parameters and associated call setup failures and subsequent renegotiation, with the net effect of reducing call setup time and more efficient use of system resources.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un appareil de traitement du dysfonctionnement urinaire, cet appareil comprenant un stimulateur électrique (56) implanté dans le corps du patient souffrant de ce dysfonctionnement urinaire. Le stimulateur est adapté pour venir en contact direct avec un muscle qui affecte l'évacuation de l'urine de la vessie, par exemple le sphincter externe de l'urètre (58) ou le muscle de contraction de la vessie. Un dispositif de commande (62), pouvant être actionné par le patient, permet de commander le stimulateur pour que celui-ci stimule le muscle, de préférence électriquement, et augmente son tonus. Le patient peut donc ainsi contrôler totalement le fonctionnement de sa vessie. Par exemple, un patient incontinent peut actionner le dispositif de commande pour mieux stimuler le sphincter externe de l'urètre lorsqu'il est sur le point d'éternuer afin d'éviter l'incontinence.

Filed: 2002-07-22
Abstract: In a dehumidification unit comprising alternate laminations of an adsorption
element  (1)  which supports an adsorbent and which is provided with a first air ventilation
passage  (3)  and a cooling element  (2)  which is provided with a second air ventilation
passage  (4),  the first air ventilation passage  (3)  of the adsorption element  (1)  and the
second air ventilation passage  (4)  of the cooling element  (2)  are adjacently formed, with a
single plate member  (P)  lying between the first and second air ventilation passages  (3, 4). 
As a result of such arrangement, as compared with a structure in which the air ventilation
passages  (3, 4)  are adjacently formed with two plate members lying therebetween, the
performance of heat transfer between the air ventilation passages  (3, 4)  is further improved,
and the action of absorbing and removing heat of adsorption is promoted, whereby the
dehumidification capability of the dehumidification unit is maintained at high levels over a
long period of time. Furthermore, the dehumidification unit is made compact relative to its
height direction by an amount corresponding to reduction in the number of plate members
lying between the first air ventilation passage  (3)  and the second air ventilation passage  (4), 
and cost savings are provided because of reduction in the number of component members.

Abstract: A method of constructing an active matrix pixel device uses a universal active matrix (UAM) comprising a matrix array of switching elements whose spacing defines a base pitch and a pixel array comprising a matrix array of pixel electrodes whose spacing defines a pixel pitch. The pixel pitch is greater than the base pitch. A large proportion of the construction process can be carried out before the customization of the device. Using a common UAM enables a reduction in the time between the customer ordering the device and the completion time. The cost of meeting customer specific requirements for the fabrication of active matrix pixel devices is thus reduced.

Abstract: A radio wave arrival-direction apparatus calculates a correlation matrix of
received signals by correlation calculation between antenna elements, and
calculates a noise spatial eigenmatrix, of which each row or column is an
eigenvector belonging to a noise eigen-space, by eigenvalue factorization of the
correlation matrix. The apparatus also factorizes a matrix including a product of
the noise spatial eigenmatrix and a conjugated and transposed matrix of it to an
upper or lower triangular matrix, using cholesky factorization. The apparatus
calculates an angle evaluation value in a predetermined angle range of an
arrival-angle evaluation function using the derived upper or lower triangular
matrix, and determines an arrival angle based on the calculation result. 
     A calculation amount in a variable angle range can be thus reduced
without causing accuracy degradation of arrival direction, in an algorism
requiring an angle sweep for arrival angle estimation of MUSIC method or the
like.
