Title: Transmitter diversity technique for wireless communications
Inventor: ALAMOUTI SIAVASH
IPC: H04L1/08
Filed: 1998-08-31
Abstract: A simple block coding arrangement is created with symbols transmitted over a plurality of transmit channels, in connection with coding that comprises only simple arithmetic operations, such as negation and conjugation. The diversity created by the transmitter utilizes space diversity and either time or frequency diversity. Space diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting over a plurality of antennas, time diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different times, and frequency diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different frequencies. Illustratively, using two transmit antennas and a single receive antenna, one of the disclosed embodiments provides the same diversity gain as the maximal-ratio deceiver combining (MRRC) scheme with one transmit antenna and two receive antennas. The principles of this invention are applicable to arrangements with more than two antennas, and an illustrative embodiment is disclosed using the same space block code with two transmit and two receive antennas.

Patent CA-2310451-A1 (CA)
Title: Device for removing eyelets
Inventor: FREY HELMUT
IPC: A41H37/02
Filed: 1998-11-05
Abstract: Device for removing eyelets, in particular stainless steel eyelets, from textile or plastics sheets. Eyelets in textiles or plastics sheets, for example in lorry tarpaulins, wear through in the course of their use and thus have as a rule a significantly shorter service life than the textile or plastics sheet. Thus, it is usual and economically worthwhile to replace the worn-through eyelets with new ones, in order thus to be able to exploit the total service life of the textile or plastics sheet. The removal of eyelets previously has been effected as a rule by hand, which is time consuming and uneconomical. Within the scope of the invention there is thus provided a device for removing eyelets, in particular stainless steel eyelets, from textile or plastics sheets, having means for pressing a beading of the eyelet in the direction of the eyelet centre point or in the opposite direction.

Patent CA-2325476-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOHMER BERNT
IPC: A61N1/08
Filed: 1999-03-30
Abstract: An apparatus (60) according to the present invention includes a voltage generator (1) for generating brief voltage pulses for the impression of voltage on electrodes (6, 15, 16, 24) included in the apparatus, and a measurement unit (50) which is coupled to the electrodes. These are designed to be secured at or inserted in tissue in a restricted region of a human or an animal in order therebetween to form electric fields in the tissue. The measurement unit (50) is disposed to determine the impedance between the electrodes which is substantially determined by the electric properties of the tissue which is located between the electrodes. A registration and calculator device (10) forms a control unit which, based on the impedance determined by the measurement unit, controls the output voltage of the voltage generator such that the electric field which is formed in the tissue always has a predetermined value. The treatment with the electric field realizes a perforation of cell membranes in the tissue which thereby permits the passage of substances fed to the body (e.g. cytostatic or genetic material).

Patent CA-2331090-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CARROLL RONALD
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1999-04-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé pour la thérapie ou le diagnostic photodynamique, dans lesquels on utilise un illuminateur comprenant plusieurs sources lumineuses épousant généralement la forme d'une surface de forme complexe et exposant ladite surface à une lumière visible d'intensité sensiblement homogène. Les sources lumineuses peuvent comporter des tubes fluorescents généralement en forme d'U, qui sont excités par des ballasts électroniques. Le réglage de la tension des ballasts permet de commander la puissance de sortie des tubes. Lesdits tubes sont supportés par un boîtier en tôle ou en plastique et sont recouverts d'un écran au polycarbonate qui dirige le courant d'air de refroidissement dans l'unité et empêche le contact entre le verre et le patient, en cas de rupture du tube. Un réflecteur en aluminium situé derrière les tubes permet d'augmenter l'irradiance de sortie et l'homogénéité de la répartition de sortie. L'espacement des tubes en forme d'U est modifié, de manière que la sortie au niveau des bords de l'illuminateur soit augmentée pour que la sortie soit plus homogène. Par ailleurs, différentes parties des tubes sont refroidies dans différentes proportions, de manière que l'homogénéité soit améliorée. Un capteur de lumière contrôle la sortie des tubes en U pour produire un signal de réglage de la sortie des tubes.
Patent CA-2331765-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CREGG JAMES M
IPC: C12N15/81
Filed: 1999-07-02
Abstract: The present invention provides formaldehyde dehydrogenase genes (FLD) from methylotrophic yeasts. The FLD structural genes confer resistance to formaldehyde and are therefore useful as a selectable marker in methylotrophic yeasts. The FLD promoter sequences are strongly and independently induced by either methanol as sole carbon source (with ammonium sulfate as nitrogen source) or methylamine as sole nitrogen source (with glucose as carbon source). Induction under either methanol, methylamine or both provides levels of heterologous gene expression comparable to those obtained with the commonly used alcohol oxidase I gene promoter (PAOX1). The FLD promoter of Pichia pastoris (PFLD1) is an attractive alternative to PAOX1 for expression of foreign genes in P. pastoris, allowing regulation by carbon (methanol) or nitrogen (methylamine) source within the same expression strain. Yeast strains, expression cassettes, expression vectors, and host cells comprising an FLD gene promoter and 3' termination sequence are also provided.
