Abstract: A problem associated with label printers for liner-free labels is that the self-adhesive coated surface (4) of the label strip to be printed is exposed as it passes through the printer and is guided over a roller (10) that transports the label strip through the printer. Said strip must be released from the roller to be issued at the exit (15) of the printer. According to the invention, instead of the provision of conventional scraper elements downstream of the roller (10), the label strip is embossed, which counteracts the tendency of the label strip to become wound around the roller (10), thus enabling the label strip to be detached from the roller (10) in a reliable manner.

Abstract: Techniques for increased finger demodulation capability in a hardware efficient manner are disclosed. In one aspect, I and Q samples are shifted into a parallel-accessible shift register. A plurality of chip samples are accessed from the shift register and operated on in parallel to produce a multi-chip result for a channel each cycle. These multi-chip results can be accumulated and output to a symbol-rate processor on symbol boundaries. The scheduling of shift register access, computation, and accumulation can be scheduled such that the hardware is time-shared to support a large number of channels. In another aspect, time-tracking of a large number of channels can be accommodated through channel-specific indexing of the contents of the shift register file. These aspects, along with various others also presented, provide for hardware efficient chip rate processing capability for a large number of channels, with a high degree of flexibility in deployment of those channels.

Abstract: During an accident involving a pedestrian, in which serious head injuries to the pedestrian are to be prevented, the aim is to obtain an HIC value for a head impact of below 1,000. To achieve this, according to the invention, the motor bonnet is configured in such a way that a first high deceleration peak (8), with a width of approximately 5 msec and a peak value of 1,500 m/s2, occurs in the deceleration curve (7). Said first early deceleration allows the rapid reduction of speed, in such a way that inevitable secondary impacts with sub-assemblies or other bodywork parts are associated with low deceleration values.

Abstract: A method to estimate the Interference Signal Code Power (ISCPm) in a cellular system of the TD-CDMA type, e.g.: TSM or any of the two 3GPP TDD modes: LCR TDD and HCR TDD respectively, is disclosed. The radio entity either the Mobile Station (MS) or Base Station (BS) which has to estimate the ISCPm firstly measures the Received Signal Code Power (RSCPm) by correlating the signal received from the physical channel of a selected midamble m<th> with the relevant sequence known in advance. In order to obtain the ISCPm value, the transmission power of the midamble m<th> scaled by the path-loss has to be substracted from the RSCPm. The ISCPm includes both the intra-cell and the inter-cell interferences plus AWGN noise; it is measured without the need for a spare midamble, avoiding restriction to the radio resource allocation. The intra-cell and inter-cell contributes to the ISCPm can be separated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electronic or electronic animal trap wherein the housing includes a pair of spaced electrodes or charge plates in a killing chamber intermediate the trap entrance and a source of bait. When used in association with an inclined plane trap, the effectiveness of the electrocuting circuitry is enhanced. Alternative embodiments of the electric or electronic trap interpose at least one diverter in the pathway to the electrodes which discourages a target animal from reversing direction before it is electrocuted. In one embodiment, juxtaposed to the entrance are at least two diverter members angularly offset relative to each other to define a maze-like path to lead a target animal to the charge plates for electrocution while discouraging reversal of direction and protecting against direct access to the charge plates through the entrance opening by children, pets or non-target species. A diverter or barrier plate may be carried by the housing cover or side wall to extend into the space between the electrodes when the cover is closed, the lower edge of the barrier being spaced from the housing floor a limiited distance to force a target animal to squeeze under the barrier as it passes to the second electrode making escape before electrocution difficult. This design may be utilized in combination with a spaced, upwardly extending diverter or barrier plate to block direct access to the pair of electrodes from the entrance opening. The effectiveness of an inclined plane trap assembly may also be enhanced by a plate carried by the cover which forces a target animal to stretch itself out before engaging the second electrode.

Abstract: Techniques for selectively combining multiple transmissions to recover a message comprised of multiple frames. Initially, each transmission is separately processed to recover the message. If the message cannot be recovered error-free from any single transmission, then portions of multiple transmissions are selectively combined to recover the message. Erased frames in a message recovered from a primary transmission (e.g., the one with the best pilot Ec/I0) and good frames from other transmissions are determined (e.g., based on the frame-level CRC). One or more combined messages are then formed, each including a different set of good frames substituting for the erased frames. If a good frame cannot be derived from any single transmission for a given erased frame, then symbols from multiple transmissions may be combined to derive the good frame. Each combined message is checked (e.g., based on the message-level CRC) to determine whether it is good or erased.
