Title: Hybrid spread-spectrum technique for expanding channel capacity
Inventor: DRESS WILLIAM B JR
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2001-09-26
Granted: 2006-11-15
Abstract: Methods, systems and devices are described for a direct-sequence spread-spectrum communication scheme that increases the number of users by utilizing a plurality of closely spaced orthogonal carriers that produce overlapping spectra. A method includes overlapping a plurality of direct-sequence spread-spectrum signals using carrier frequencies that are orthogonally spaced relative to a bit rate. The methods, systems and devices provide advantages because they can accommodate an increase in the number of normalized users and can optimize the loading of users across multiple frequency channels.

Abstract: An actuator unit for a braking device, particularly for a vehicle parking brake, includes a casing (3) for supporting an electric motor (7) and a male-and-female screw unit (21, 23). The male-and-female screw unit comprises a rotatable element (21) connected for rotation with the output shaft (7a) of the electric motor (7) and an element (23, 25) which is slidable relative to the casing (3) as a result of the rotation of the rotatable element (21), the slidable element (23, 25) being associated with a transmission member (33) pivotable relative to the casing (3) and provided with a pair of arms to the ends of which respective brake-operating cables (41) are connected. The transmission member (33) is articulated to the slidable element (23, 25) of the male-and-female screw unit (21, 23) by means of at least one transverse pin (29) and the pin (29) engages a respective axial guide (32) of the casing (3) so that rotation of the slidable element (23, 25) relative to the casing (3) is prevented.

Abstract: In a data communication network (SYS) a first and second network site (BSS), (MS) communicate by sending a first data transmission (DT1) from the first network site (BSS) to a second network site (MS) and by sending a second data transmission (DT2) from said second network site (MS) to said first network site (BSS). In accordance with the invention data transmission characteristics (DTC1) of said first data transmission (DT1) are determined and radio resources for said second data transmission (DT2) are allocated based on the determined first data transmission characteristics (DTC1). Thus, the radio resources for the second data transmission (DT2) are correlated with characteristics of the first data transmission (DT1) and thus delays in the data transmission between the first and second network site (BSS,MS) can be avoided. The invention finds particular application in data transmission networks, for example in a TCP/IP network, in which a link layer protocol context, for example a Temporary Block Flow (TBF), has to be set up for the data transmissions. In such applications the invention can reduce the data packet transmission delay by avoiding unnecessary TBF setup/tearing down procedures.

Abstract: A recording system comprising a recording apparatus, a recording method and a program to control the recording apparatus for recording a color image on a recording medium by utilizing a recording head on which a plurality of recording elements are arranged, is provided. The recording system further comprising, a compensation means to compensate a position to be recorded by a recording element which does not execute a recording operation among the plurality of recording elements, by different color dots from those of the recording element which does not execute the recording operation. The compensation means is controlled such that the number of the compensation dots recorded by the compensation means is less than the number of dots to be formed originally by the recording element which does not execute recording operation and that lightness per a determined area of an image obtained by the compensation dots is within a range of +/- 20% of that to be obtained by dots from the recording element which does not execute the recording operation. The recording system can dissolve nonuniformity in the recorded image such as white streaks and the like generated by non-eject dots and can make the nonuniformity be unrecognized by human eyes. In addition the recording system by the invention can suppress raising costs of the recording head and can raise recording rates much faster. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is a laser engravable embossing roll exhibiting improved wear characteristics and life span through the use of an epoxy resin based material. Specifically, the embossing roll according to the present invention can be produced using standard laser engraving techniques that have heretofore been applied to rubbers. Rubber rolls, while produced significantly faster than engraved steel rolls, have the disadvantage of poor life span due to wear. The epoxy based resin rolls of the present invention overcome these disadvantages by being quickly and easily produced using laser engraving but exhibiting significantly improved wear characteristics.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A security element ( 2 ) comprising a reflective, optically variable surface pattern ( 3 ) which is embedded in a layer composite of plastic material and which can be visually recognized from predetermined observation directions is formed from a mosaic of optically active surface elements ( 13 ). In the mosaic of the surface pattern ( 3 ) at least two of the mosaic surfaces ( 11; 12 ) of the surface pattern ( 3 ) are arranged substantially adjacent and have microscopically fine light-diffractive relief structures ( 4 ). The spatial frequencies of the relief structures in the mosaic surfaces ( 11; 12 ) are of values from predetermined spatial frequency ranges in such a way that, in the case of illumination beams which are incident obliquely relative to a normal onto the plane of the layer composite, the relief structures of the mosaic surfaces ( 11; 12 ) deflect visible monochromatic light parallel to the normal ( 32 ). The relief structures of the mosaic surfaces ( 11; 12 ) differ only in respect of spatial frequency, the difference in the spatial frequencies in the adjacent mosaic surfaces ( 11; 12 ) being at most 40 lines/mm.
