Abstract: La présente invention concerne des techniques permettant un précodage de canal multivoie dans un système MIMO (entrées multiples / sorties multiples). Selon un procédé, les données sont codées en fonction d'au moins une logique de codage donnant des données codées, qui sont ensuite modulées, c'est-à-dire appliquées à des symboles, en fonction d'au moins une logique de modulation donnant des symboles de modulation. On obtient ainsi une réponse estimée du canal MIMO, c'est-à-dire fournie par un récepteur, ce qui permet de dériver une réponse équivalente du canal sur la base, d'une part de la réponse canal MIMO estimée, et d'autre part d'une réponse d'un filtre de réaction positive d'un égaliseur à rétroaction de décision. Les symboles de modulation sont alors précodés sur la base de la réponse de canal équivalente de façon à donner des symboles précodés, qui sont ensuite préconditionnés sur la base de la réponse canal MIMO estimé, par exemple par mise en forme à impulsions spatio-temporelles, ce qui donne des symboles préconditionnés bons pour l'émission par le canal MIMO. L'adaptation du filtre de réaction positive peut utiliser un critère d'écart quadratique moyen minimum.

Abstract: A platelet collection device comprising a centrifugal spin-separator container with a cavity having a longitudinal inner surface. A float in the cavity has a base, a platelet collection surface above the base, an outer surface. The float density is below the density of erythrocytes and above the density of plasma. The platelet collection surface has a position on the float which places it below the level of platelets when the float is suspended in separated blood. During centrifugation, a layer of platelets or buffy coat collects closely adjacent the platelet collection surface. Movement of a float having a density greater than whole blood through the sedimenting erythrocytes releases entrapped platelets, increasing the platelet yield.
