Abstract: Techniques for implementing message passing decoders, e.g., LDPC decoders, are described. To facilitate hardware implementation messages are quantized to integer multiples of ½ ln2. Messages are transformed between more compact variable and less compact constraint node message representation formats. The variable node message format allows variable node message operations to be performed through simple additions and subtractions while the constraint node representation allows constraint node message processing to be performed through simple additions and subtractions. Variable and constraint nodes are implemented using an accumulator module (1302), subtractor module (1304) and delay pipeline (1306). The accumulator module (1302) generates an accumulated message sum (1316). The accumulated message sum (1316) for a node is stored and then delayed input messages from the delay pipeline (1306) are subtracted there from to generate output messages (1321). The delay pipeline (1306) includes a variable delay element making it possible to sequentially perform processing operations corresponding to nodes of different degrees.

Title: Verfahren zur laserbearbeitung beschichteter bleche
Inventor: ZAUNER DANIEL

Granted: 2006-06-21
Abstract: Bei vielen beschichteten Bleche, insbesondere bei Zinkbeschichteten Blechen wie sie in der Automobilindustrie Verwendung finden, weist das Beschichtungsmaterial einen deutlich niedrigeren Siedepunkt auf als das Material des Bleches. Dadurch kommt es beim Zusammenschweissen derartiger Bleche zu explosionsartigen Verdampfungen von Beschichtungsmaterial, welche die Qualität der Verbindung stark beeinträchtigen. Zur Verbesserung der Verbindungsqualität wurde bereits vorgeschlagen mittels Abstandhaltern enge Spalten zwischen den Blechen zu erzeugen, in die das verdampfende Beschichtungsmaterial entweichen kann. Die Abstandhalter sollen z.B. durch Laserbeschuss der Bleche erzeugt werden. Nachteilig dabei ist vor allem die erforderliche relativ lange Bearbeitungszeit, welche insbesondere in der Serienproduktion erhebliche Kosten verursacht. Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht daher darin, die erforderliche Bearbeitungszeit der Bleche zu senken und dabei die Bearbeitungsqualität mindestens beizubehalten, vorzugsweise zu verbessern. Die Aufgabe wird gelöst, durch ein Verfahren, bei dem der Laserstrahl mittels einer Scanner-Einrichtung auf die Oberfläche gelenkt wird. Eine Scanner-Einrichtung ist eine besonders schnelle und flexible Stahlablenk-Einrichtung. Dies ermöglicht eine Verringerung der Bearbeitungszeit um den Faktor 10 ohne die Bearbeitungsqualität zu vermindern.
