Title: Subband-based demodulation for an ofdm-based communication system
Inventor: KRISHNAMOORTHI RAGHURAMAN
IPC: G06F17/14
Filed: 2005-02-04
Abstract: For subband-based OFDM demodulation, a "partial" Fourier transform is performed on a sequence of N input samples for an OFDM symbol to obtain Nc received symbols for a group of Nc data subbands, where Nc ~ L = N and L > 1 .  For the partial Fourier transform, the N input samples are rotated with a phasor to obtain N rotated input samples, which are accumulated (for each set of L samples) to obtain Nc time-domain values. An Nc-point FFT is performed on the Nc time-domain values to obtain the Nc received symbols. Channel gain estimates for the data subbands are also obtained, for example, by performing a partial Fourier transform to obtain received pilot symbols, an inverse FFT  to obtain time-domain channel gain values, and an FFT to obtain channel gain estimates for the data subbands. The received symbols are processed with (e.g., equalized by) the channel gain estimates to obtain recovered data symbols.

Title: Dynamic energy threshold calculation for high impedance fault detection
Inventor: HAJ-MAHARSI MOHAMED Y
IPC: G01R31/50
Filed: 2005-10-11
Abstract: A technique for dynamically determining the occurrence of a high impedance fault (HIF) independent of load. An HIF algorithm provides the energy value for a given number of samples of the input signal that is phase (load) currents and/or neutral (residual) current. The input signal energy value is multiplied by a factor that ranges from about 100% to about 300% to calculate a threshold energy value and the result of that calculation is stored in a buffer. A HIF detection signal is generated when the energy value determined for samples of the input signal that are the same in number as the given number of samples and taken after the given number of samples is greater than an energy value derived from a predetermined number of the calculated threshold energy values.

Patent CA-2595737-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIN MING HUNG
IPC: A63B23/16
Filed: 2007-06-20
Abstract: A wrist exerciser includes an upper casing member and a lower casing member that are mounted to each other to enclose a rotor therebetween. The upper casing member has a top opening, which exposes a portion of the rotor. The rotor has opposite sides on which two opposite axles are mounted respectively. The axles are rotatably coupled to an outer ring. The outer ring comprises a resiliency device. The side of the rotor that faces the resiliency device is provided with a movable catching mechanism that is releasably, selectively, and operatively coupled to the resiliency device. Thus, when the rotor is initially rotated or is towed to take a linear movement by being put in contact with a fixture surface, the resiliency device builds up compression spring force, which, when the rotor is released, causes the roto r to rotate in a reversed direction and gaining auxiliary starting power and initial rotation speed. Further, the movable catching mechanism is disengageable from the resiliency device by a centrifugal force acting thereon induced by high speed rotation of the rotor so as to allow for regular operation of the wris t exerciser.
