Patent GB-2336741-A (GB)
Title: Signal arrival direction estimation
Inventor: TANAKA YOSHINORI
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1999-03-04
Abstract: In a DS-CDMA communication system for performing a transmission by a spreading process using a code having a period longer than a symbol length, received signals from an array antenna 1-0 to 1-(M-1) are subjected to a despreading process by despreading units 3-0 to 3-(M-1). A cross-correlation function with time lags of the received signals is obtained by inverse modulating despread output signals by a known symbol in an inverse modulator 8. An arrival direction of a received signal is estimated by an arrival direction estimation unit 6 based on the cross-correlation function. A beam former 7 combines the despread output signals depending on the arrival direction and outputs an output signal to a channel receiver. The arrangement provides an accurate estimate of the arrival direction of a desired signal regardless of reception level and high interference.

Title: A quantum dot photon source
Inventor: SHIELDS ANDREW JAMES
IPC: H01S5/34
Filed: 1999-11-23
Abstract: A photon source 21 can emit single photons, or pulses of N photons, at predetermined intervals. The source comprises at least one quantum dot 35 having two energy levels which can be respectively populated by an electron and a hole, there being supply means which can supply a predetermined number of carriers to one of the energy levels to allow recombination of a predetermined number of carriers in the quantum dot so that at least one photon is emitted. The quantum dot(s) may formed in a cavity between two mirrors 51,53, e.g. Bragg mirrors, one of which may be partially reflective to allow the photon(s) to enter an optical fibre. The supply means may be a laser beam, pulsed or continuous, to excite carriers into the energy levels, or may be means to modulate the transition energy of the quantum dot(s), e.g. by applying an AC voltage thereacross. In the case of pulsed laser excitation, the pulses desirably have a duration less than the relaxation time of the carriers which are excited, and the time between the leading edges of successive pulses is greater than the recombination time of an electron and a hole in the quantum dot. The source may be used in optical quantum cryptography, or for optical imaging, spectroscopy, laser ranging and metrology.

Date Oct. 5, 1995In supplying material for pressing (37) into the press chamber of a filter press for separating solids and liquids, the filling operation (F) is done interruptedly in a first step (P1) at a fill opening (44). A press element (36) executes a plurality of pressings up to a constant stroke position (HS). Not until a second method step (P2) is the filling operation (F) interrupted, as soon as the pressing pressure exceeds a limit value (PS), whereupon the pressings are continued with shortened strokes. The method offers automatic adaptation of the prefilling time to the pressability of the materials. It thus becomes possible to prefill highly differently pressable material automatically and without specifying a command value in such a way that an optimal performance is attained in terms of the yield and the juice extraction output of a filter press.
