Abstract: Matching of at least two acoustical to electrical
converters is performed in dependency of an impinging
direction of arrival within a range determined before
matching. The two acoustical to electrical converters
provide as an example beamforming ability for a cardoid
transfer characteristic (c). Matching of the two
acoustical/electrical converters involved is performed
whenever direction of arrival (DOA) of acoustical signals
impinging on the converter is within a range DOA S ±ΔDOA.
Such range is selected around a direction of arrival where
e.g. the transfer characteristic is zero (d).

Title: A micro fluid pumping device and  a pumping method for same
Inventor: CHO HYE-JUNG
IPC: G01N37/00
Filed: 2004-09-22
Abstract: A fluid pumping method for micro-fluidic devices uses gas bubbles to move fluid
by light beams. The light beams are emitted to the fluid near the gas bubble through an
optically transparent cover and correspondingly heat the fluid in the micro channels. The
liquid temperature variation changes the surface tension of the gas bubble near the heated
fluid side, therefore, a pressure gradient between the end portions of the gas bubble
generates accordingly. By moving the light beams, the moved pressure difference will be
achieved, which will drive the gas bubbles and pump the fluid. Such a fluid pumping can
simplify the structure of a micro-fluidic device and eliminate heat loss because of using a
controllable light beam.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fragmentising objects, which method
comprises that the objects are advanced towards a number of rotating blades
having at least one common axis of rotation, which blades are distributed in
accordance with a pattern lengthwise of the axis of rotation, wherein - in line
with the blades - at least one hold-on means is provided, which hold-on
means is configured for cooperating with the blades for cutting objects or
completely or partially crushing objects or reducing the size of objects. Novel
aspects of the method according to the invention comprises that the objects
are advanced essentially at an angle which is oblique in relation to the path
curves of the blades or at right angles thereto, whereby an object is, during
its advancement, caused to contact at least one first blade and then
gradually, depending on the size of the object, an increasing number of
blades. Tests have shown that the noise level is reduced in this manner, in
particular in case of elongate objects of wood without significantly influencing
the capacity.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of scheduling asynchronous transmissions for a plurality of subscriber units (12). The method includes receiving (305) information associated with a plurality of subscriber units that have uplink data to transmit, the information including uplink timing offset information associated with each of the subscriber units (12). Two or more subscriber units (12) are then selected (310) from a set of subscriber units having a timing offset differential, that is below a predetermined threshold, where the timing offset differential is the difference between the timing offset of a first subscriber unit and the timing offset of a second subscriber unit further selectively offset by a multiple of the transmission segment size, which minimizes the difference. The transmission segments, which are available for the uplink of data, are then allocated (315) between the selected two or more subscriber units (12), which limits the number of transmission segments that have at least one of an overlap or a gap, and the amount of any overlap or gap, in order to minimize wasted scheduling opportunities.
