IPC: H03M13/11
Filed: 2005-01-10
Abstract: IPHD (Iterative Parallel Hybrid Decoding) of various MLC (Multi-Level Code)
signals. Various embodiments are provided by which IPHD may be performed on
MLC LDPC (Multi-Level Code Low Density Parity Check) coded modulation signals
mapped using a plurality of mappings. This IPHD may also be performed on MLC
LDPC coded modulation signals mapped using only a single mapping as well. In
addition, various embodiments are provided by which IPHD may be performed on ML
TC (Multi-Level Turbo Code) signals.
Based on the degree of the MLC signal, a corresponding
number of parallel paths operate in cooperation to decode the various levels of the
MLC signal. 
The bit metrics are updated during the LDPC or turbo decoding process in
order to obtain a sub-optimal solution of a joint demodulation/demapping and decoding.

Title: Touch point adaptation process for at least a clutch of an automatic transmission and device, in particular to carry out the process
Inventor: ROBERTS BEN
IPC: F16D48/06
Filed: 2005-02-03
Abstract: The method for the carrying out of a measuring point adaptation on at least one clutch of an automatic transmission in a drive train of vehicle entails carrying out the said adaptation with an activated creep function and operated brake while the vehicle is stationary with gear engaged. The torque transmitted from the clutch is kept constant for a predetermined time interval, and the torque transmitted by the engine is measured during the predetermined time interval. The engine torque is measured again with the clutch open and this value compared with the determined values from the clutch characteristic. An independent claim is included for a device for the controlling of an automatic transmission with at least one clutch by the said method.

Abstract: A method for improving the electrical conductivity of a substrate of metal, metal alloy or metal oxide comprising directing a high energy beam of doping ions from Group VIII onto a substrate. This causes an intermixing of the doping ions with the native oxide of the substrate metal or metal alloy. The native oxide layer is changed from being electrically insulating to electrically conductive. The high-energy beam is an ion beam from a high-energy ion source.
