Abstract: A method is provided for equalizing an amplitude modulated compatible digital broadcasting signal which includes an amplitude modulated radio frequency signal having a first frequency spectrum, the amplitude modulated radio frequency signal having a first carrier modulated by an analog program signal, a plurality of digitally modulated carrier signals positioned within a bandwidth which encompasses the first frequency spectrum, a first group of the digitally modulated carrier signals including complementary signals and lying within the first frequency spectrum, and second and third groups of the digitally modulated carrier signals including non-complementary signals and lying outside of the first frequency spectrum. The method includes the steps of producing a first signal representative of in-phase components of the amplitude modulated compatible digital broadcasting signal; producing a second signal representative of quadrature-phase components of the amplitude modulated compatible digital broadcasting signal; using the first and second signals as the real and imaginary inputs to take the Fast Fourier Transform of the first and second signals to produce a plurality of transformed signals representative of frequency domain data; processing the transformed signals by multiplying the transformed signals by an equalization vector, with the equalization vector comprising a plurality of equalizer coefficients; and updating the equalizer coefficients used for the complementary signals by interpolating coefficients of the vector for the non-complementary signals. The invention also encompasses the operation of radio frequency receivers which utilize the above method, as well as apparatus that performs the above method and radio frequency receivers which utilize the above equalization method.

Title: Two stage metal powder compacting - includes high kinetic energy second stage pressing
IPC: B30B1/42
Filed: 1972-08-09
Abstract: The first stage consists of pre-compacting of the powder in the die by a slow pressing action of the punch, following which the punch is momentarily retracted and driven back into the die at high speed to attain a high kinetic energy causing additional compacting of the powder beyond its prepressed density. The high speed pressing is carried out by means of an electrodynamic unit comprising a condenser, the discharge of which feeds a coil, which acts on a plate carrying the punch. The process yields high density powder metallurgy products. It is intended for ferrous materials.

Title: Segment migration
Inventor: MCARDLE JAMES MICHAEL
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2000-08-09
Abstract: A system, which makes segment migration, the movement of individuals between transaction data segments over time, easily trackable, and provides a visualization that makes the results of the analyses useful. The preferred embodiment tracks which people are in which segment at each time period, then builds a file that gives, by person, a description of which segment(s) each person belonged to during each time period. From this table, a display is drawn which indicates in an intuitive manner the migration of members of different segments over time. This may be represented by having respective thickness of lines according to the number of segment members represented. The transaction data may relate to customer purchases and hence the system allows the user to study and predict customer behaviour.

Title: Mobile IP service with roaming between GPRS packet networks
Inventor: LEE HONG SEOK
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-12-24
Abstract: To support terminal equipment roaming between GPRS packet networks in a mobile IP service system, a gateway GPRS support node/home agent (GGSN/HA) 430 is provided in a home network, to perform a home agent function. This avoids the delay of connection between border gateways (BG). In a visited network, a serving GPRS support node (SGSN) 510 manages mobility of a terminal equipment (TB) 100b and a gateway GPRS support node/foreign agent (GGSN/FA) 530 carries out a foreign agent function to support a mobile IP service when a packet data service is requested trough the SGSN 510. In the home network, a gateway GPRS support node/home agent (GGSN/HA) 430 is provided to carry out a home agent function to support the mobile IP service when the terminal equipment (TE) roams. The method involves: a packet data protocol (PDP) context activation step (S200-S250), where the SGSN selects a suitable GGSN/FA 530 according to an access point name included in a PDP context request message; a mobile IP registration step (S260-S290), where the GGSN/FA 530 transmits an agent advertisement message and registers the IP address of the GGSN/FA 530 to the GGSN/HA 430 located in the home network, and a PDP context modification (S300-S320) step, where the GGSN/FA 530 extracts the mobile IP address of the GGSN/HA, inserts it in its PDP context and transmits an update PDP context message to the SGSN 510.

Title: Selection of dialling and busy tones in a mobile phone
Inventor: ESKOLIN PETER
IPC: H04M1/72442
Filed: 2001-12-31
Abstract: A user terminal such as a mobile telephone has a memory for storing tone data to be played to the user in place of conventional dialling or busy tones played by exchanges. The tone data may comprise melodies or music and may be stored in MP3 format. When the user calls another party the exchange sends a signal to the calling party that the called party is being alerted or is busy. In response to this signal a selected tone is fetched from memory and played to the calling party. Tone data may be downloaded from a website.
