Title: An automated publishing system that facilitates collaborative editing and accountability through virtual document architecture
Inventor: NAPOLITAN DAVID
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2004-07-08
Abstract: The present invention automates the publishing of financial, legal, and governmental documents and any other publications that are structured and require compliance with corporate or external standards and may share content elements. It gives users control in an always-on, familiar environment: the Internet. Due to its virtual document architecture and ability to operate over the Internet and intranets, the system facilitates collaborative work and traces accountability. The key concept behind automating publishing is to control scheduling and costs by better content management. The present invention handles document content as small, reusable components, down to the paragraph and table cell level. The interface helps users assemble documents from these version-controlled components with automated support. The system applies context and filtering criteria stored with each component to locate and apply content fragments to a current document. The system of the present invention can apply structural rules and content requirements to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and company business rules. A working virtual document within the system always incorporates the current version of all constituent elements.

Patent CA-2552234-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KIM YOUNG-BUM
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2005-02-14
Abstract: The present invention supposes a situation in which an Enhanced Uplink Dedicated transport Channel (EUDCH) is used in a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system. In a user equipment (UE), when physical channels for transmitting EUDCH data are transmitted in addition to existing physical channels, a Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of an uplink transport signal increases. The increase in PAPR depends upon Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes allocated to the corresponding physical channels and in-phase/quadrature-phase (I/Q) channels. Therefore, the present invention proposes an apparatus and method for allocating optimum OVSF codes and I/Q  channels to EUDCH-related physical channels in order to minimize an increase in PAPR due to EUDCH.

Title: Digital predistortion system and method for linearizing an rf power amplifier with nonlinear gain characteristics and memory effects
Inventor: BRAITHWAITE RICHARD NEIL
IPC: H04K1/02
Filed: 2005-02-24
Abstract: A system and method of digitally predistorting a transmitter (104) that has a digital input, up-converter (108), and a RF amplifier (110) is disclosed. A  digital predistorter (100) preferably employs three paths for the digital input signal: a linear path (114), a memoryless digital predistortion path (116), and a memory based digital predistortion path (118). The memoryless path (116) is preferably a look up table (LUT) of gain error corrections indexed to the input magnitude or input power. The linear path is separated to preserve the dynamic range of the system and avoid quantization associated with memoryless LUT correction. The memory based digital predistortion path (118) filters the power envelope, or higher even order modes of the input signal magnitude, employing a hierarchical filter, to produce a gain correction. The input signal is modulated by the gain error corrections produced by the memoryless and memory based paths.
