Abstract: A Cable Television (CATV) digital return link system that provides dedicated, high-speed, full-duplex and point-to-point connections between users and the head end system is disclosed. The CATV digital return link system includes return path transmitters, intermediate hubs and a head end hub coupled to each other via a network of fiber optics cables. The return path transmitters are each coupled to a relatively large number of users via a local CATV-subtree. Signals from cable modems are transmitted via the local CATV-subtree to the return path transmitters for transmission to the head end. A number of users are individually and directly connected to the return path transmitters. Data from these directly connected users is transmitted to the head end via the network of fiber optics cables in conjunction with the RF data from the subtree. Likewise, data from the head end to these directly connected users is transmitted in the forward path direction using the digital return link system.

Abstract: An active antenna capable of transmitting and receiving a wireless signal of a low frequency band and a mobile communication terminal having the active antenna, are provided. The active antenna includes an antenna element (10) which transmits and receives a wireless signal, a filter (20) which filters the wireless signal being received at the antenna element such that a wireless signal belonging to a frequency band lower than the operating frequency of the antenna element is passed, and an amplifier (30) which amplifies the wireless signal being passed through the filter. As a result, the size of the antenna can be greatly reduced, by the use of an active antenna which receives wireless signals of low frequency bands. Additionally, a more compact mobile communication terminal can be provided, because wireless signal of both high frequency bands and low frequency bands can be transmitted and received at one antenna.

Abstract: Each of a plurality of wireless terminals (105A, 105B) connected to a wireless LAN base station (104) notifies the base station of an address for receiving data by one-to-many communication from the base station when said wireless terminal executes a program using the one-to-many communication in the wireless LAN (S601). The base station records by relating the address notified from the wireless terminal with an address of the wireless terminal for one-to-one communication (S602). When the base station receives one-to-many communication data to be sent out the wireless LAN (S603), the base station converts an address of destination of the one-to-many communication data into the one-to-one communication address corresponding to said destination (S605) and transmits the data whose destination address has been converted into the one-to-one communication address (S609).

Abstract: A method of jet-printing smooth micro-scale features is presented. The desired feature prior to being printed is masked by various decimation filters and the decimation is performed at various pitches. The subsequently printed image is then scanned and analyzed to determine the roughness of the lines. The optimum decimation pitch is determined by the feature that exhibits the least amount of droplet spreading and has the lowest edge roughness. The optimum decimation pitch may also be calculated from the material properties and the dynamics of fluids.

Abstract: One illustrative method of scanning a radio frequency (RF) band (e.g. 850 MHz band) for valid RF carrier signals of a wireless communication network (e.g. a GSM network) includes the steps of monitoring an RF channel to receive a candidate RF carrier signal; identifying whether the candidate RF carrier signal is a valid RF carrier signal of the wireless communication network by estimating a bandwidth of the candidate RF carrier signal and, if the estimated bandwidth is different from a predetermined bandwidth associated with valid RF carrier signals of the wireless communication network, identifying that the candidate RF signal is not a valid RF carrier signal of the wireless communication network; and repeating the acts of monitoring and identifying for a next RF channel of a plurality of RF channels associated with the wireless communication network. Preferably, the RF bandwidth estimation is performed together with a system signal detection process (e.g. FCCH detection). Advantageously, the time required to scan the RF band is reduced.
