Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for efficient processing of signal in a communication system. The processing of the signal for transmission may include encoding a block of data at an encoding rate 1/R. The encoding produces R number of data symbols for every data bit in the block of data. A block of RAM (299, 600) is partitioned into a plurality of blocks of RAM to allow reading simultaneously data symbols from the plurality of blocks of RAM to produce an in-phase and quad-phase data symbols simultaneously. At least two scramblers (306 and 307) are used for simultaneously scrambling the in-phase and quad-phase data symbols. A Walsh covering/summing block (700) followed by the scramblers provides efficient Walsh covering and summing of signals for a combined transmission from the communication system.

IPC: G02B5/30
Filed: 2001-09-20
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un séparateur de faisceau polarisant qui comprend un milieu optique et un filtre à ondulations incorporé dans ledit milieu optique. Le filtre à ondulations possède un indice de réfraction moyen qui varie avec la position du plan d'ondulations dans une direction autre que l'épaisseur alors que le moyennage se fait à travers le film à ondulations dans la direction de l'épaisseur. La variation de l'indice moyen de l'ondulation compense les variations de l'angle incident à travers un cône d'un faisceau lumineux divergent. Dans un mode de réalisation, la période de l'ondulation est sensiblement constante sur toute sa surface. L'amplitude de la variation de l'indice de l'ondulation possède de préférence une enveloppe d'amplitude apodisante superposée à ladite amplitude, pour faciliter le couplage de l'ondulation avec le milieu optique environnant.

Abstract: A system is presented for installing a valid application in an IC card
without newly issuing an IC card and without an application installation privilege
certificate. 
     A terminal device forwards to a confirmation card an application and
pre-calculated tamper-free confirmation information derived from the application
obtained from a server. The confirmation card re-calculates tamper-free confirmation
information from the forwarded application. The presence of tampering in the
forwarded application is determined by comparing the pre-calculated tamper-free
confirmation information with the tamper-free confirmation information re-calculated
from the forwarded application. The result of the determination is sent to the terminal
device. If the application has not been tampered with, the terminal device installs the
application in the execution card.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système permettant aux passager à bord d'un aéronef d'envoyer et de recevoir des données électroniques. Les composants de ce système embarqué comprennent un serveur qui présente une pluralité de noeuds auquel les terminaux d'ordinateur sont rattachés à volonté. Les composants de ce système embarqué comprennent un point d'accès sans fil comptant une pluralité de noeuds, ce point d'accès sans fil étant relié à un serveur et à une pluralité de cartes sans fil insérées à volonté dans les terminaux d'ordinateur. Les terminaux d'ordinateur sont des ordinateurs portables ou des ordinateurs de poche appartenant aux différents passagers qui se trouvent à bord, ou des terminaux fixes installés dans l'aéronef. Le serveur communique avec une large variété de terminaux équipés de différents systèmes d'exploitation et avec le point d'accès. Chaque terminal d'ordinateur est connecté avec le serveur par l'intermédiaire d'un câble de l'aéronef ou d'un réseau sans fil. Le serveur comprend une mémoire de grande capacité qui contient une base de données de pages web qui peuvent être explorées par les passagers utilisant les terminaux. Le serveur comprend un serveur de noms de domaines (DNS) qui se substitue au DNS usuel des passagers. Le serveur relie ensuite le passager à la page Web adéquate stockée localement. Le serveur contient également une mémoire pour les messages de courrier électronique. Un ou plusieurs systèmes de radiocommunication sont en outre connectés avec le serveur. Les données peuvent ainsi être transférées vers une station de base à travers un réseau de communication.
