Abstract: A multi-mode communication system which is operable according to different
operating modes, such as GSM and WCDMA. The multi-mode communication system
includes first and second switching units, a delta-sigma modulator, an analog-to-digital
converter, sequential convolution units and a selection unit. The delta-sigma modulator
samples an analog signal, which is inputted through the first switching unit in one mode, into
1-bit digital signal. In another mode, the analog-to-digital converter samples an analog signal,
which is inputted through the first switching unit into an n-bit digital signal. The sequential
convolution units multiply filter factors with the output of the delta-sigma modulator, which is
inputted through the second switching unit at the first mode, and multiply PN codes by the
output of the analog-to-digital converter, which is inputted through the second switching unit
at the second mode, to generate WCDMA output waveforms. The selection unit delays the
outputs of the sequential convolution units by a predetermined time at the GSM mode to
restore GSM output waveforms. Accordingly, the multi-mode communication system is
operable according to multimodes, such as GSM mode and WCDMA mode.

Abstract: The state transition of a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) controlled by a clock (310) with length N and step size W, W being at least two, is accomplished via a next-state function (320). The next-state function deploys a state transition matrix (350). The state vector (330), which represents the contents of the LFSR, is either multiplied sequentially by the state transition matrix or multiplied by the state transition matrix to the power of W (multiple state transition matrix). The method and the LFSR according to the invention are characterized in that the multiple state transition matrix is decomposed in a first matrix (360) and a second matrix (370), the first matrix comprising at most N+W+1 different expressions and the second matrix comprising at most N+W+1 different expressions. The LFSR further comprises means to multiply the state vector by the second matrix and the first matrix, and means for computing the first matrix. The invention overcomes the shortcomings of configurable multi-step linear feedback shift registers because the amount of time needed to generate the output can be reduced significantly.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne la fabrication d'un dispositif à semi-conducteurs qui est facilitée du fait de la surveillance du courant du faisceau et de l'angle d'incidence à divers endroits dans un faisceau d'ions (par exemple une partie plus large d'un faisceau ruban). Un ou plusieurs détecteurs d'uniformité sont utilisés dans un système d'implantation ionique (par exemple un système à tranche unique et/ou un système à tranches multiples), ces détecteurs étant constitués d'une pluralité d'éléments. Les éléments respectifs comportent une ouverture qui récupèrent un petit faisceau à partir d'un faisceau d'ions incidents et une paire de capteurs qui mesurent l'intensité du faisceau en fonction de l'angle entrant du faisceau d'ions. L'angle d'incidence pour des éléments particuliers peut être déterminé au moins partiellement à partir de l'intensité du faisceau mesurée par les paires de capteurs. On peut ainsi ajuster la génération d'un faisceau d'ions pour améliorer l'uniformité et on peut effectuer l'implantation ionique avec une meilleure uniformité et avec des commandes de processus plus strictes.

Abstract: An apparatus for placement in a wound to promote healing, and a method of treating wounds using such apparatus. The apparatus comprises a bioabsorbable fabric supported by a skeleton of impervious flexible members, such as Teflon(TM) tubes. When placed inside the wound, the bioabsorbable fabric absorbs into the body within about 5 to 10 days. As the fabric is being absorbed, it serves as a framework for fibroblasts to bridge the gap in the wounded tissue and thereby promote healing. The tubes serve as conduits to remove excess fluids from the wound, preferably under the power of a suction device to which the tubes are connected outside the body. After the fabric is absorbed by the body, the flexible tubes are removed. An expandable embodiment may be deployed into a wound cavity via an introducer tube and plunger. The apparatus may incorporate various sensors.
