Title: Successive interference cancellation receiver processing with selection diversity
Inventor: SUBRAMANIAM ANAND D
IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2004-08-17
Abstract: Techniques are provided to support successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver processing with selection diversity whereby each of NT transmit antennas may be turned on or off. One symbol stream may be transmitted from each transmit antenna. A SIC receiver recovers the transmitted symbol streams in a specific order. Up to NT! orderings are evaluated. For each ordering, NT  post-detection SNRs are obtained for NT transmit antennas and used to determine NT data rates, where the data rate is zero if the post-detection SNR  is worse than a minimum required SNR. An overall data rate is computed for each ordering based on the NT data rates. The ordering with the highest overall data rate is selected for use. Up to NT symbol streams are processed at the data rates for the selected ordering and transmitted. The transmitted symbol streams are recovered in accordance with the selected ordering.

Abstract: The invention is related a barbecue stove with burner, which comprises a stove having an internal space for accommodating solid fuel and meat to be broiled, an opening being formed on a peripheral wall of the stove, and an end of an external bracket secured near the peripheral wall of the stove proximate the opening and the other end thereof provided with a burner. By moving the external bracket, the external bracket carries a nozzle of the burner through the opening into the space for burning the solid fuel. Alternatively, it is adapted to move the burner away from the opening of the stove in a non-operating status.  By utilizing this barbecue stove, either the nozzle will not be activated of the burning in the stove for a relatively long time or the nozzle will not be clogged by food residue or grease. As a result, the burner will remain its burning function.

Abstract: Grain defect scanning takes into account a broad set of data representing both wood grain structure and wood grain image to provide a multi-dimensional scan vector for an inspection point with wide variation therein relative to defect types. A library of similarly structured multi-dimensional training set vectors developed during a preliminary training session with known defect types is referenced by multivariate pattern recognition analysis to classify a collection of scan vectors associated with an article under inspection. By statistically matching scan vectors with training set vectors under pattern recognition analysis, physical locations on a wood article are identified according to known defect types.

Patent CA-2559106-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WESTNEDGE ANDREW
IPC: B60G11/04
Filed: 2006-09-05
Abstract: The invention relates to vehicle suspension systems of the type with a trailing arm, and to a seat for securing the trailing arm to an axle or axle casing.  Hitherto, trailing arms have been located on axles or axle casings and held in place by the force of U-bolts holding the trailing arm to the axle. Under excessive loads as can be applied to vehicle suspension systems, trailing arms can be moved out of alignment to the detriment of the running of the vehicle. To avoid such movement, seats for trailing arms are known to be welded to vehicle axes or casings and to which the trailing arms are secured such as by U-bolts. Here, manufacturing tolerances can cause a bad, relatively loose fit between the seat and axle or axle casing, causing alignment difficulties when fitting or welding the seat in place, with a large build-up of stresses in the vicinity of the weld when the trailing arm seat is subjected to torsional loading, that can be particularly damaging to an axle casing that ordinarily is formed from the thin sheet metal. The object of the invention is to provide a vehicle suspension that avoids those difficulties mentioned above, which objective is met by a construction comprising an axle and at least one trailing arm, there being a seat for the or each trailing arm, the or each seat having a primary recess in which the axle is located, the primary recess having a transverse secondary recess in which an insert is located, the insert being positively secured in the primary recess, and having end sections extending beyond the edges of the primary recess, that are positively secured to the adjacent walls of the axle.
