Abstract: A cost-effective, high heat capacity thermal therapy device is described. The therapy device includes a plurality of discrete hydrophilic absorbers hydrated with a liquid containing a substantial amount of water. The water-retention mechanism of the discrete hydrophilic absorbers allows the water to freeze under normal freezer conditions (-20 DEG  F.), to 32 DEG  F., increasing the heat capacity of the therapy device. At the same time, the therapy device remains highly pliable when frozen as a result of reduced water flow out of the absorbers during the freezing process. The therapy device also remains highly pliable through repeated freezing/melting cycles because the discrete absorbers do not lose their discrete forms when thawed.

Abstract: A receiver for receiving a CDMA communication signal that is wirelessly transmitted includes a system for correcting phase errors in an information signal which has been transmitted. The correction system comprises circuitry for generating a mixing signal and for combining the mixing signal with said information signal to produce a correction signal. An analyzer analyzes the phase of said correction signal and generates an error signal based on the deviation of the analyzed phase from a reference phase. A bandwidth controller which recursively adjusts the phase of the correction signal such that the phase of said correction signal is substantially equal to said reference phase. The bandwidth controller then selects a bandwidth within an adjustable range based on the correction signal, estimates an offset by interrogating the error signal, and modifies said correction signal by the offset.
