Abstract: A textile spinning station has a passage (4) to a spindle (7). The passage has a lining (17) whose trailing-edge step is co-located with an incoming air jet (13.1). The step end-face (18) acts as a guide for air emerging from the jets (13.1) into a vortex chamber (14.1).  A textile spinning assembly has a spinning station which converts a staple fibre feed into a continual thread and incorporates a thread guide vane (3) to a vortex chamber (14.1) and a thread feed channel (4). The vortex chamber (15) has a spindle (7) with a yarn passage (8) separated from the vane (3) by a gap. The vortex chamber (15) has a vortex (11) generating jet (13.1) around the yarn passage (8) inlet (9). The thread feed channel (4) esp. has a tunnel lining (17) forming a trailing edge step to the vortex chamber (14.1). The inclined step end-face (18) acts as a guide for the fluid emerging from the jet (13.1). The step angle of inclination alpha is the same as, or greater than, that of the incoming jet (13.1).

Abstract: An adaptive modulation and coding method comprises
selecting (S7) one of a plurality of different
available modulation and coding levels to apply to a
signal transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver.
The selection is based on a comparison between a signal
transmission quality (Î or /I oc ) and one or more threshold
values. The or each threshold value is adjusted (S5,
S6) when the signal transmission quality is within a
predetermined range of that threshold value, and is
maintained unchanged (S3) when the signal transmission
quality is outside that range. 
     By maintaining the threshold value unchanged when
the signal transmission quality is outside the range of
that value the adjustments to the threshold value(s)
are limited, whilst still enabling the threshold
value(s) to take account of prevailing signal
transmission conditions. This leads to improved
throughput performance, especially under path
conditions involving a single dominant path.
