Patent EP-1418675-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HA SANG-HYUCK
IPC: H03M13/27
Filed: 2003-10-29
Abstract: An apparatus and method for reading written symbols by deinterleaving to decode
a written encoder packet in a receiver for a mobile communication system supporting
turbo coding and interleaving, such that a turbo-coded/interleaved encoder
packet has a bit shift value m, an up-limit value J and a remainder R, and a stream
of symbols of the encoder packet is written in order of column to row. The apparatus
and method perform the operations of generating an interim address by bit
reversal order (BRO) assuming that the remainder R is 0 for the received symbols;
calculating an address compensation factor for compensating the interim address
in consideration of a column formed with the remainder; and generating a read
address by adding the interim address and the address compensation factor for a
decoding-required symbol, and reading a symbol written in the generated read
address.

Abstract: In a data sending/receiving system (1), an information providing apparatus (2)
including a content data storage unit (21) to store content data, a streaming data
generator (22) to generate streaming transmission data from content data, a streaming
interface (23), a download file generator (24) to generate a download file of content
data and a download interface (25) for the download file, is connected to a data
receiving terminal (3) including a storage control circuit (39) to control storage of
content data into a content data recording unit (41), a packet information recording
unit (40) to record data packet ID information and a packet resend requesting circuit
(38) to request for resending a missing packet, via a network (4). Series of content
data are sent by a connectionless-mode transmission whereas a missing
packet is resent by a connection-mode transmission. Defect-free data can
be transmitted with the real-time signal transmission being assured even when data
is received, for recording, via a low-reliability network.

Abstract: A dispenser (20) for dispensing abrasive paper from a roll can be held in a user's hand.
The dispenser has a body (5) for receiving a roll of abrasive paper, and the body has an
aperture (8) to allow a free end (10) of a roll of abrasive paper to pass out of the body
(5). The aperture (8) is biased closed over at least part of its length by means (12) that
also serve to attach the ends caps (2,13) to the body (5), so as to prevent the roll of
abrasive paper moving through the aperture unless the user deliberately pulls the roll of
abrasive paper. 
     A tearing edge (6) for tearing a desired length of abrasive paper from a roll is provided.
The tearing edge (6) is preferably spaced from the aperture (8) so that after a piece of
abrasive paper is torn from the roll the new free end of the roll protrudes from the
dispenser.

Abstract: Amine functionalized magnetic nanoparticle compositions and processes for synthesizing the same are described. The process consists of obtaining a carboxylated polymer in substantially pure form, which is used to prepare a substantially size homogeneous, polymer coated carboxyl, functionalized magnetic nanoparticle. The carboxyl groups are converted to reactive primary amino groups by the use of a water-soluble carbodiimide followed by reaction of a large excess of a diamine. The amine-terminated nanoparticles are then reacted with bifunctional crosslinking agents and with various biomolecules to make nanoparticles for in vitro assays, cell sorting applications and target specific MR contrast agents.

Abstract: A system for efficient drainage of a body cavity includes application of vacuum at very high pressure, preferably in the range of approximately 50-500 torr or higher. The system includes the use of a drainage tube having a plurality of holes formed into the wall of a portion of the tube to be inserted in the body cavity. The area of each of the holes is preferably selected to ensure that the suction force communicated by each of the holes to areas within the body cavity is insufficient to injure the tissues exposed in the body cavity. A one-way valve maintains unidirectional flow of drained fluids and gases away from the body cavity. A vacuum relief valve prevents application of dangerous levels of vacuum pressure by opening to admit atmospheric air when vacuum pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold. A vacuum chamber separates drained fluids from drained gases.

Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation diffuser, operative at extreme ultraviolet
(EUV) wavelengths, is fabricated on a substrate. The diffuser comprises a
randomized structure having a peak and valley profile over which a highly
reflective coating is evaporated. The reflective coating substantially takes the
form of the peak and valley profile beneath it. An absorptive grating is then
fabricated over the reflective coating. The grating spaces will diffusely reflect
electromagnetic radiation because of the profile of the randomized structure
beneath. The absorptive grating will absorb the electromagnetic radiation.
The grating thus becomes a specialized Ronchi ruling that may be used for
wavefront evaluation and other optical diagnostics in extremely short
wavelength reflective lithography systems, such as EUV lithography systems.

Abstract: The computer effects changeover from lean to rich running when regeneration temperature is reached in the storage catalyst (27) and it has reached predetermined loading. Weak running is resumed when rich running criteria absent, or regeneration time expired, or catalyst (27) regenerated to predetermined degree, or on reaching predetermined reductant concentration following (27), or when exhaust temperature lies below a given threshold. Regeneration time is a function of catalyst loading at the start of regeneration. Preferred Features: For change to rich running, the engine is operating in steady, quasi-steady or stationary state. States are deduced from one or more sensors measuring: r.p.m., accelerator setting, injection quantity, exhaust temperature especially ahead of the turbocharger (1), torque and load. Time profiles of the signals are taken into account. Differing thresholds and intervals (i.e. differing profiles) are used to characterize non-steady state operation. A temperature sensor ahead of the storage catalyst monitors regeneration temperature. The temperature sensor (30) intervenes between an oxidizing catalyst (28) and the storage catalyst (27). Characteristic stored data and measured values determine catalyst loading. NOx sensors (31, 32) are used for the purpose. Sensor determines loading from the NOx quantity emitted. Regeneration time and state are determined from characteristic curves as a function of engine operational state and loading of the storage catalyst. Initial and final states and the stored characteristics are taken into account. Exhaust reductants are monitored following the storage catalyst using an HC, CO or lambda sensor. Reductant sensor monitors between storage catalyst and DeNOx catalyst (29). Temperature sensor measures exhaust gas temperature ahead of the storage catalyst. Exhaust gas temperature sensor is located between storage catalyst and the preceding oxidation catalyst.

threshold value for power is decided, changed according to the maximum value being
held and depending on the difference between the maximum value and the minimum
value. The threshold value is compared with the power of a current frame to decide
whether or not the current frame belongs to a speech interval or to a non-speech interval.
