Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the growth of nanotubes or nanofibers on a substrate comprising at least an upper layer made of a first material, wherein: the formation, on the surface of the upper layer, of a barrier layer made of an alloy of the first material and of a second material, said alloy being stable at a first temperature; the formation of spots of catalyst that are made of the second material, on the surface of the alloy layer; and the growth of nanotubes or nanofibers at a second temperature below said first temperature. The alloy layer allows effective growth of nanotubes/nanofibers from catalyst spots on the surface of said alloy layer. This is because the alloy layer constitutes a diffusion barrier preventing the catalyst from diffusing into the growth substrate, which barrier is stable at the catalytic nanotube/nanofiber growth temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a guiding system for wireless terminals. In the system, position-specific information of route points of the route on which a first wireless terminal travels is determined and it is sent to a guiding server. Supplementary data used for guiding the route are stored in the first terminal in response to a request of the user. The supplementary data are associated with the position information, and the guiding server compiles and stores route information comprising position information and supplementary data. The route information is transmitted from the guiding server to at least one wireless terminal in response to the route request. The position of the terminal is determined and the received route information is presented in the terminal so that said supplementary data are presented when the terminal is in places with which the supplementary data are associated.

Abstract: A frequency-domain audio coder selects among different entropy coding modes according to characteristics of an input stream. In particular, the input stream is partitioned into frequency ranges according to some statistical criteria derived from a statistical analysis of typical or actual input to be encoded. Each range is assigned an entropy encoder optimized to encode that range's type of data. During encoding and decoding, a mode selector applies the correct entropy method to the different frequency ranges. Partition boundaries can be decided in advance, allowing the decoder to implicitly know which decoding method to apply to encoded data. Or, adaptive arrangements may be used, in which boundaries are flagged in the output stream by indicating a change in encoding mode for subsequent data. For example, one can create a partition boundary which separates out primarily zero quantized frequency coefficients, from primarily non-zero quantized coefficients, and then apply a coder optimized for such data. An overall more efficient process is achieved by basing coding methods according to the properties of the input data. In practice, the number of partitions and frequency ranges will vary according to the type of data to be encoded and decoded.

Each of the first and second coupling stages comprise a quarter wavelength transmission line ( 50 A, 50 B) having a first end coupled to the respective transmit signal path and a second end coupled by band pass filter ( 52 A, 52 B) to the respective receive signal path. A first PIN diode (D 1 , D 3 ) couples a transmit signal path to the first end of the respective quarter wavelength transmission line and to the respective feed ( 12, 14 ) and a second PIN diode (D 2 , D 4 ) second end of the respective quarter wavelength transmission line to ground. In operation when transmitting in one of the bands, the first and second PIN diodes of the relevant coupling stage are switched-on, whilst the PIN diodes in the other coupling stage are off and when in a receiving mode all the PIN diodes are off. The signal being received by one of the transceivers is reflected by the band pass filter in the coupling stage of the other transceiver.
