Abstract: The invention includes various embodiments for use in physical layer processing. One embodiment determines the address mapping of bits in the physical channel buffer from the address of bits in the first interleaver buffer (82). The physical channel buffer addresses (84) are determined corresponding to addresses of the bits after rate matching (88), bit scrambling (90), second interleaving (92) and physical channel mapping (94). The bits are directly read (78) from the first interleaver buffer (82) and written to the physical channel buffer (84) using the determined physical channel buffer addresses. Another embodiment determines the address mapping of bits in the first interleaver buffer (82) from the address of bits in the physical channel buffer (84). The first interleaver buffer addresses are determined corresponding to addresses of the bits after reverse rate matching (88), reverse bit scrambling (90), reverse second interleaving (92) and reverse physical channel mapping (94). The bits are directly read from the determined first interleaver buffer addresses (82) and written to the physical channel buffer addresses (84).

Abstract: The coating medium (23) is supplied by a line (38) directly to the distribution chamber (20), where the internal pressure is adjusted. The method is a falling-liquid-curtain coating process. The medium leaves the distribution chamber through an outlet opening (20c) as a curtain or mist under gravity, and is coated onto the web. The pressure in the distribution chamber is set to a given value by a controller (48). The quantity coated is measured, and controlled in coating rate, from the results. The medium is de-aerated and filtered before entering the distribution chamber. The quantity pumped to the distribution chamber per unit time is varied as the control magnitude. Pump power is varied to alter the pressure, and/or the cross section available for flow is varied in a throttling valve (51). Flow leaving the chamber through the drain line (60) is controlled for the same purpose. A pressure sensor (44) in the chamber, measures the internal pressure, well away from the inlet. The medium coated per unit time is measured precisely. The controller (48) alters a rheological parameter of the medium, especially viscosity by dilution, as a control magnitude. Its temperature is altered. The web is deflected, preferably without contact and after coating, so that its path descends and then rises, during travel along the machine. An independent claim is included for the corresponding equipment.
