Abstract: A method for tracking and reporting traffic activity on a web site first comprises
storing a web page on a first server coupled to a network. When the web page is requested
from a visitor computer, the visitor computer is selected (or not selected) for inclusion within
a sample group, where the sample group is only a subset of the total traffic to the web site. A
selection indicator is stored on the visitor computer associated with this selection. Data
mining code within the web site is operated or not operated depending upon the value of the
selection indicator. The data mining code is operated, and the activity of the visitor computer
on the web site consequently tracked only if the visitor computer is selected as a member
within the sample group, otherwise the data mining code is not operated and no traffic
activity is generated.

Abstract: Symbol timing for a wireless communication system, such as a multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless LAN system, is determined by
summing the powers for an appropriate set of channel impulse responses, integrating this power
summation over an appropriate window (e.g., equivalent to the guard interval), and identifying the time
at which the maximum integration occurs. Depending on the implementation, symbol timing can be
determined for each receiver branch individually or for all receiver branches jointly. In either case, the
determined symbol timing(s) can minimize the amount of inter-symbol and inter-channel interferences
that are invoked in the system.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de mesurer l'écoulement volumétrique d'un fluide à travers un conduit sans connaître la viscosité dudit fluide. Un débitmètre volumétrique à double rotor (10) est relié de manière fonctionnelle à un conduit traversé par un fluide. La turbine à double rotor (10) comporte un thermomètre (16), un premier rotor (18) et un second rotor (20), l'un au moins du premier (18) ou du second (20) rotor réagissant de façon non linéaire à l'écoulement du fluide. Pour l'étalonnage du débitmètre à turbine à double rotor (10), on utilise une courbe de nombres de Roshko/Strouhal (32). Pendant la mesure, on détermine une fréquence pour le premier rotor et une fréquence pour le second rotor. En divisant la fréquence du second rotor par celle du premier rotor, on obtient un rapport de fréquence servant à calculer un nombre de Roshko combiné. Pour obtenir un nombre de Strouhal combiné, on utilise le nombre de Roshko combiné conjointement avec la courbe de nombres Roshko/Strouhal (32). L'écoulement volumétrique est ensuite calculé à l'aide du nombre de Strouhal combiné.

Abstract: The invention provides a multi-loop antenna (30) that produces an electromagnetic field having a magnitude of at least an interrogation threshold of a tag for a substantial portion of an interrogation region located in a plane parallel to the antenna. The antenna may include a plurality of loops, including one or more powered loops (32, 34) and one or more parasitic loops. The parasitic loops receive power from mutual coupling with the powered loops causing current to flow within the parasitic loops, which contributes to the profile of the magnetic field. As a result, each parasitic loop may be tuned to provide control over the magnitude of the electromagnetic field. The powered loops and the parasitic loops may be varied over the interrogation period to reduce any area of the interrogation region where the magnitude of the field remains below the interrogation threshold throughout the interrogation period. The powered loops and the parasitic loops may reside on a single layer or may be arranged on multiple layers (Fig. 5, 6).
