Patent EP-0788005-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ARNEY SUSANNE C
IPC: H03C7/02
Filed: 1997-01-21
Abstract: An improved modulator (1) and methods for making the modulator are disclosed.
A membrane (15), preferably circular in shape, is formed over a region of a substrate (10) in such
a way that a gap (20) results between the membrane and substrate forming a modulator
cavity (21). The membrane forms a continuous surface over the cavity. In particular, the
membrane is not supported by discrete support arms, but rather extends beyond the
modulator cavity. Preferably, holes (14) are formed in the membrane to aid in damping its
motion and to allow access to underlying layers during modulator formation.
According to the method, the modulator is formed by forming a means for creating a
gap between the substrate and the membrane, forming a membrane, forming a lateral
conduit to aid in removing the means for creating the gap and, finally, by removing the
means for creating the gap.

Abstract: In a wireless communication technique, a frame including a training
sequence and a mixed data sequence in which at least one symbol of a
whitened sequence is dispersively inserted into a data sequence is
generated. The frame is converted into a wireless signal, which is then
transmitted. The wireless signal of the frame is received. Tap
coefficients of an equalization filter are set by using the training
sequence in the frame. During reception of the mixed data sequence, an
adaptive operation is performed by using the respective symbols of the
whitened sequence in the frame and the tap coefficients of the
equalization filter are updated. 
     To improve tracking performance of an adaptive equalizing operation
while reducing the calculation volume.

Abstract: The invention concerns a press section of a paper machine,
through which press section the paper web (W) is passed as
a closed draw on support of a press fabric (11, 28) and of
a smooth roll face (31). The first nip in the press section
is an extended-nip press (NP 1 ) through whose press zone two
opposite press fabrics (11, 28) that receive water have
been passed. The upper press fabric in the extended-nip
press (NP 1 ) is a pick-up fabric (11), which carries the
paper web (W) from the forming wire (10). Downstream of the
extended-nip press (NP 1 ), the paper web is directed between
the two press fabrics (11, 28) onto a reversing suction
roll (160) on whose suction zone (160a) the direction of
the paper web is turned upwardly. In the press section,
there are at least two other nips (N 1 , NP 2 ) that have been
formed in connection with the smooth-faced (31) centre roll
(30). The centre roll(30) is fitted at a level higher than
the level of the extended-nip press (NP 1 ). The first of the
other nips (N 1 ) is a roll nip and is formed by the
reversing suction roll (160) and the centre roll (30). In
this press roll nip, the press fabric consists of the pick-up
fabric (11). The second other nip is formed by a second
extended-nip press (NP 2 ) which has a press fabric (33) of
its own that receives water.

Abstract: In a CORBA distributed object system, potential object name ambiguities in the
Portable Object Adapter are resolved without using variable-length object identifiers by
translating the variable length identifiers into a fixed length compact identifier, such as a
integer. The mapping for persistent objects is maintained on an ID server with
persistent state and the mappings are ultimately written to a file. A server IDL interface
is defined to the ID server which interface includes a method that accepts a variable
length fully qualified name and returns the compact identifier. The method assigns an
identifier if one does not exist. Another method accepts the identifier and returns the
name.
