Title: Improved frame structure for an adaptive modulation wireless communication system
Inventor: GAZELLE DAVID
IPC: H03H17/02
Filed: 2000-07-28
Abstract: A method of assigning downlink time slots to receive units where the units may generate data using different modulation schemes. The method preferably assigns the downlink time slots as a function of the complexity of modulation schemes employed by the units. Further, the method preferably assigns the time slots from the least complex modulation scheme to the most complex scheme. The method may further assign uplink time slots to transmit units where the transmit units may generate data using different modulation schemes. The method preferably assigns the uplink time slots as a function of the complexity of modulation schemes employed by the uplink units. Further, the method preferably assigns the uplink time slots from the least complex modulation scheme to the most complex scheme. In other embodiments, the downlink time slots are assigned as a function of the bit per symbol rate employed by the receive units, preferably from the lowest bit per symbol rate to the highest bit per symbol rate. Further, the uplink time slots are assigned as a function of the bit per symbol rate employed by the transmit units, preferably from the lowest bit per symbol rate to the highest bit per symbol rate. The present invention is also a method of simplifying the encoding of a predetermined number of bits of data into frames. The method adds error coding bits so that a ratio of the frame length times the baud rate of the frame times the bit packing ratio of the data divided the total bits of data is always an integer. The method may also convolutionally encode the bits of data so that the same equation is also always an integer. The present invention is also a method of updating the weights of a FIR filter where the filter processes symbols having variable modulation rates. When the modulation rate of the incoming symbols changes, the weights corresponding to the first symbol having the new modulation rate are changed based as the symbol propagates through the filter.

Title: Optical devices featuring textured semiconductor layers
Inventor: MOUSTAKAS THEODORE D
IPC: H01L33/32
Filed: 2005-04-15
Abstract: A semiconductor sensor, solar cell or emitter or a precursor therefore having a substrate and textured semiconductor layer deposited onto the substrate. The layer can be textured as grown on the substrate or textured by replicating a textured substrate surface. The substrate or first layer is then a template for growing and texturing other semiconductor layers from the device. The textured layers are replicated to the surface from the substrate to enhance light extraction or light absorption. Multiple quantum wells, comprising several barrier and quantum well layers, are deposited as alternating textured layers. The texturing in the region of the quantum well layers greatly enhances internal quantum efficiency if the semiconductor is polar and the quantum wells are grown along the polar direction. This is the case in nitride semiconductors grown along the polar [0001] or [000-1] directions.

Patent CA-2574633-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAL ELI
IPC: B01D53/14
Filed: 2005-04-12
Abstract: Ultra cleaning of combustion gas to near zero concentration of residual contaminants followed by the capture of CO2 is provided. The high removal efficiency of residual contaminants is accomplished by direct contact cooling and scrubbing of the gas with cold water. The temperature of the combustion gas is reduced to 0-20 degrees Celsius to achieve maximum condensation and gas cleaning effect. The CO2 is captured from the cooled and clean flue gas in a CO2 absorber (134) utilizing an ammoniated solution or slurry in the NH3-CO2-H2O system. The absorber operates at 0-20 degrees Celsius. Regeneration is accomplished by elevating the pressure and temperature of the CO2-rich solution from the absorber. The CO2 vapor pressure is high and a pressurized CO2 stream, with low concentration of NH3 and water vapor is generated. The high pressure CO2 stream is cooled and washed to recover the ammonia and moisture from the gas.

Patent CA-2580230-A1 (CA)
Title: Call setup in a video telephony network
Inventor: YANG TAO
IPC: H04W28/04
Filed: 2005-09-16
Abstract: This disclosure is directed to techniques for video call setup in a mobile video telephony network. In general, the call setup techniques reduce call setup delays by preemptively retransmitting NSRP packets before expiration of the timeout period ordinarily required for receipt of an NSRP ACK packet from the remote terminal. The retransmitted NSRP packets may be retransmitted during idle periods in which the modem layer in the sending mobile terminal has received no other data for transmission of the remote mobile terminal, thereby taking advantage of idle bandwidth. Multiplex data received by the modem can be locally buffered at the modem layer for retransmission. In this manner, retransmission does not require regeneration of the original call setup messages nor multiplexing. Instead, the previously generated and multiplexed data is buffered at the modem layer for retransmission to reduce processing overhead within the mobile terminal.

Filed: 2007-03-14
Abstract: In a method and system of data entry, input is monitored from a plurality of input keys, including a plurality of multi-function keys. A prefix associated with at least one entry in a dictionary is generated in response to input received from at least one of the plurality of input keys. A set of predicted following characters is generated each having a representation in the dictionary immediately subsequent to the position of the prefix in one or more dictionary entries. Each predicted following character is associated with a character in a dictionary entry and with a preference value associated with that character. A dynamically ordered sequence of available following characters is generated in respect of an actuated one of the plurality of multi-function keys, comprising one or more of the predicted following characters. When the dynamically ordered sequence of available following characters comprises a plurality of predicted following characters, the predicted following characters are arranged in an order based on associated preference values. A following character hypothesis is then generated comprising a character in the dynamically ordered sequence of available following characters.

Title: Hydroxybenzoate salts of metanicotine compounds
Inventor: GENUS JOHN
IPC: C07D213/46
Filed: 2005-11-09
Abstract: Patients susceptible to or suffering from conditions and disorders, such as central nervous system disorders, are treated by administering to a patient in need thereof compositions that are hydroxybenzoate salts of E-metanicotine-type compounds. The formation of hydroxybenzoate salts of the E-metanicotine compounds is also useful in purifying the E-metanicotine compounds, as the hydroxybenzoate salts tend to crystallize out, leaving impurities such as Z-metanicotine compounds, and compounds where the double bond has migrated, in solution. If desired, the hydroxybenzoate salts can be converted to either the free base (the E-metanicotine) or to another pharmaceutically acceptable salt form. E-metanicotine-type compounds that include a five-membered heteroaryl ring linked to an olefinic linker, such as a penten-2-amine linker, which is linked to a terminal amine group, are also disclosed. Patients susceptible to or suffering from conditions and disorders, such as central nervous system disorders, can be treated by administering the compounds, pharmaceutical salts of the compounds, or pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds or their salts, to a patient in need thereof.
