Abstract: A method and system for climate control uses a desiccant (10,20)
in an automobile. The desiccant (10,20) removes humidity or
moisture from air passing through the ventilation system.
The desiccant is recharged or dried by application of a
vacuum. The lower pressure generated by the vacuum
reduces the temperature at which water evaporates or boils
off of the desiccant material.

Abstract: A method and system for tuning a bulk acoustic wave device at the wafer
level by adjusting the thickness of the device. In particular, the thickness of the
device has a non-uniformity profile across the device surface. A mask with an
aperture is placed over the device surface and a particle beam is applied over the mask
so as to allow part of the particle beam to make contact with the device surface at a
localized area beneath the aperture. The particles that pass through the aperture are
deposited on the device surface to add material on the device surface, thereby
increasing the surface thickness to correct for the thickness non-uniformity.
Alternatively, the particles that pass through the aperture remove part of the device
surface in an etching process, thereby reducing the surface thickness. Prior to
thickness adjustment, a frequency measurement device or thickness measurement
device is used to map the device surface for obtaining the non-uniformity profile.

Abstract: A high transmittance polycrystalline alumina arc tube for a metal halide
discharge lamp is formed by treating an alumina arc tube material having a few
percent of closed porosity in a two step process, which provides a high-transmittance
arc tube. An initially porous arc tube is formed by extruding or die
pressing individual components of the tube from a mixture which includes
powdered alumina, assembling the components into an arc tube body, and then
partially sintering the components to seal them together. The two step process
includes hot isostatic pressing of the partially sintered arc tube and then
chemically polishing the surface of the tube. The first, pressing step involves
heating the alumina arc tube in an inert atmosphere, such as argon, at a
temperature of 1600 to 1900°C and a pressure of about 700 to 2100 kg/sq.cm.
for from about one to three hours. This reduces porosity in the crystalline
structure. In the second step, the surface of the tube is immersed in a flux
comprising a molten alkali metal borate at moderately elevated temperatures, or
coated with a flux material which is heated to form the flux, to remove surface
imperfections. The finished arc tube has transmittance values which approach
those of single crystal sapphire arc tubes.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for canceling an interference signal in a
packet data receiver for a packet data communication system in which data is
transmitted and received over a packet data channel and a packet data control
channel. The packet data channel is time-synchronized with the packet data control
channel. A buffer temporarily stores a signal on the packet data channel,
combined after being received through multiple paths, until the packet data control
channel is decoded. An interference cancellation controller analyzes packet
data control channel information obtained by decoding the packet data control
channel, and outputs an interference cancellation command signal only when it is
determined that effective packet data to be received exists in a current time slot.
An interference cancellation section receives the packet data channel signal output
from the buffer, and cancels an interference signal from the packet data channel
signal only when the interference cancellation command signal is received.

Abstract: A passive optical network includes a central office (200) and a subscriber-side apparatus (310) connected with the central office (200) through an optical fiber link (300). The subscriber-side apparatus (310) performs communication with the central office (200) based on wavelength-division-multiplexed optical signals. The central office has a routing section (210), provided with first to fourth multiplexing ports (L1,RN,LN,R1), for demultiplexing multi-wavelength light inputted from the fourth multiplexing port (R1) into a plurality of channels (L1,LN,1). Each of the demultiplexed channels (L1,LN,1) is amplified and multiplexed for output through the first multiplexing port (L1). Optical signals inputted through the third multiplexing port (LN) are demultiplexed and outputted upstream. The routing section also multiplexes channels for downstream optical signals, outputting the multiplexed channels through the second port (RN). A splitting section (250), provided with first to third splitting ports and arranged on a loop optical waveguide connects the first (L1) and fourth (R1) multiplexing port with each other. The splitting section (250) causes some of multi-wavelength light inputted into the first splitting port to be outputted through the second splitting port and causes the remainder of multi-wavelength light to be outputted through the third splitting port connected with the fourth multiplexing port (R1). A circulator (260) causes the multi-wavelength light inputted through the second splitting port to be transmitted to the subscriber-side apparatus (310) and causes upstream optical signals received from the subscriber-side apparatus (310) to be outputted to the third multiplexing port (LN).
