Abstract: A method for growing a .beta.-Ga2O3 single crystal hardly cracking and having a weakened twinning tendency and an improved crystallinity, a method for growing a thin-film single crystal with high quality, a Ga2O3 light-emitting device capable of emitting light in the ultraviolet region, and its manufacturing method are disclosed. In an infrared-heating single crystal manufacturing system, a seed crystal and a polycrystalline material are rotated in mutually opposite directions and heated, and a .beta.-Ga2O3 single crystal is grown in one direction selected from among the a-axis <100>  direction, the b-axis <010> direction, and c-axis <001> direction. A thin film of a .beta.-Ga2O3 single crystal is formed by PLD. A laser beam is applied to a target to excite atoms constituting the target. Ga atoms are released from the target by a thermal and photochemical action. The free Ga atoms are bonded to radicals in the atmosphere in the chamber. Thus, a thin-film of a .beta.-Ga2O3 single crystal is grown on a substrate of a .beta.-Ga2O3 single crystal.  A light-emitting device comprises an n-type substrate produced by doping a .beta.-Ga2O3 single crystal with an n-type dopant and a p-type layer produced by doping the .beta.-Ga2O3 single crystal with a p-type dopant and junctioned to the top of the n-type substrate. The light-emitting device emits light from the junction portion.

Abstract: A method and system in which a vehicle carries an on-board positioning system and has access to a database of information pertaining to a plurality of fixed paths. A vector between the position of the fixed path and a position of the vehicle as reported by the positioning system is calculated prior to arriving at a point of divergence (i.e., a point at which a path branches, such as a switch on a railroad track). After passing the path divergence, a second vector is calculated between the position of the vehicle as reported by the positioning system and at least one of the alternate paths, preferably the correct alternate path. The first vector is compared to the second vector, and a determination as to which path the vehicle is on is made based on the comparison.

Title: Apparatus and method for encoding/decoding space time block code in a mobile communication system using multiple input multiple output scheme
Inventor: CHAE CHAN-BYOUNG
IPC: H04B7/04
Filed: 2005-05-04
Granted: 2013-01-22
Abstract: Method and apparatus for encoding a space time block code in a transmitter employing transmit antennas are provided. If a signal to be transmitted is input, the transmit signal is pre-encoded according to a preset pre-encoding matrix. The pre-encoded signal is space-time mapped according to a number of the transmit antennas to employ a preset space time block coding scheme. The space-time mapped signal is transmitted through the transmit antennas by applying the scheme to the space-time mapped signal. The pre-encoded signal is divided according to transmit antenna groups into which the transmit antennas are classified. The preset pre-encoding matrix is generated by generating a Vandermonde matrix corresponding to the number of the transmit antennas, puncturing selected sequential columns of the Vandermonde matrix, and shifting predetermined rows of the punctured Vandermonde matrix. This can be useful in maximizing a diversity gain and a data transmission rate.
