  • Publication number: 20240122080
    Abstract: A superconductor device includes a high superconductivity transition temperature enhanced from the raw material transition temperature. The superconductor device includes a matrix material and a core material. The enhancing matrix material and the core material together create a system of strongly coupled carriers. A plurality of low-dimensional conductive features can be embedded in the matrix. The low-dimensional conductive features (e.g., nanowires or nanoparticles) can be conductors or superconductors. An interaction between electrons of the low-dimensional conductive features and the enhancing matrix material can promote excitations that increase a superconductivity transition temperature of the superconductor device.

  • Patent number: 8420844
    Abstract: Organosilicon compounds are prepared by the addition reaction of a gaseous unsaturated hydrocarbon with a silane or siloxane containing at least one silicon-bonded hydrogen atom in the presence of a hydrosilylation catalyst in a liquid reaction medium. In this process the unsaturated hydrocarbon and optionally the silane or siloxane is dispersed into the liquid reaction medium by a jet eductor (also known as a venturi pump) device and the resultant gas-in-liquid dispersion is introduced into a bubble reactor.

  • Patent number: 8151175
    Abstract: A bit quality evaluator receives a sequence of bits. The bit sequence is provided to a decoding device that performs soft decision convolutional decoding on the sequence of bits. An off track event detector detects an occurrence of a trellis decode path change during the convolutional decoding operation and identifies a first symbol proximate corresponding to the occurrence of the trellis decode path change. An erasure decision circuit identifies at least the first symbol for erasure. The output of the first decoder and the erasure decision circuit are received at a second decoder, which decoder decodes the output of the first decoder after erasing at least the first symbol. The erasure decision circuit may also identify additional symbols for erasure using performance measures of the trellis decode path and using quality measures of the sequence of bits.

  • Patent number: 8006170
    Abstract: A bit quality evaluator receives a sequence of bits. A quality measure is assigned to each bit within the sequence. The bit sequence and the quality measures are provided to a decoding device that performs soft decision convolutional decoding on the sequence of bits using the quality measure. An off-path detector detects an occurrence of a trellis decode path change during the convolutional decoding operation and identifies a first symbol proximate corresponding to the occurrence of the trellis decode path change. An erasure decision circuit identifies at least the first symbol for erasure. The output of the first decoder and the erasure decision circuit are received at a second decoder, which decoder decodes the output of the first decoder after erasing at least the first symbol. The erasure decision circuit may also identify additional symbols for erasure based on performance measures of the trellis decode path and the quality measure of the sequence of bits.
