Title: Systemes et procede de gaufrage de tissus au moyen de lances a air ameliorees
Inventor: LAIRD WILLIAM
IPC: D06C23/04
Filed: 2000-05-22
Granted: 2009-07-21
Abstract: cette invention concerne des systèmes de gaufrage, des lances à air et des procédés de gaufrage de tissu qui permettent d'obtenir une transition franche aux détails fins entre des  zones non gaufrées et des zones gaufrées ainsi qu'une grande uniformité sur toute la largeur du tissu gaufré. Ce système de gaufrage à l'air fait intervenir des lances à air (210) dirigeant un flux d'air sur la surface à gaufrer (113) d'un tissu (111), qui comportent au moins une buse (216) dont les orifices présentent des dimensions sensiblement inférieures à celles de buses classiques. Ces systèmes de gaufrage à l'air peuvent également comporter des lances à air dont les buses sont disposées tout contre la surface à gaufrer avec un orifice dont la taille est nettement inférieure à la longueur, un orifice en forme de fente allongée orientée essentiellement sur toute la largeur du tissu ; des lances à air dont l'élément formant buse (214) peut être séparé du corps principal (212) de la lance, de sorte que la buse puisse être disposée tout contre le tissu et réoriente l'air produit de telle sorte qu'une partie substantielle du flux d'air frappe la surface du tissu à angle droit ; et des lances à air avec chicanes ou éléments déflecteurs (340) qui accentuent, par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la lance, l'angle selon lequel l'air traverse les buses et va frapper la surface du tissu.

Title: Mcs selection in downlink shared channel transmission
Inventor: UEHARA TOSHIYUKI
IPC: H04W52/04
Filed: 2002-01-18
Granted: 2006-04-25
Abstract: A base station transmits downlink signals to mobile terminals of users A to C with respective transmission power corresponding to downlink quality. A downlink quality estimating section (106) uses the transmission power from a transmission power control section to compare transmission power between the users, and estimates that a terminal with low transmission power has high downlink quality. The priorities are determined so that the priority is increased as the transmission power is lower.      Thus determined priority information is output to a scheduling section (107). The scheduling section (107) performs scheduling based on the priority information.      The section (107) assigns DSCH to terminals in ascending order of transmission power. User A is first assigned DSCH, user B is second assigned DSCH, and user C is third assigned DSCH. It is thus possible to perform scheduling and MCS selection of DSCH with the need of information from a terminal eliminated.
