Abstract: A nonwoven fabric includes a plurality of through voids, where each of the voids has a first opening associated with a top surface of the fabric and a first raised edge circumferentially adjacent to the first opening. The voids may each further include a second opening associated with a bottom surface of the fabric and a second raised edge circumferentially adjacent to the second opening, such that the first opening may have a surface area that is larger than or the same as the second opening.

Abstract: An industrial fabric such as an endless belt or sleeve for use in the production of nonwovens, and a method of making thereof are disclosed. The industrial fabric is produced by spirally winding strips of polymeric material, such as an industrial strapping or ribbon material, and joining the adjoining sides of the strips of material using ultrasonic welding or laser welding techniques.

Abstract: In a cellular communications system the antenna tilt may be varied in order to achieve different degrees of overlap between different cells, in dependence of the service being transmitted. For a broadcast service the antenna tilt may be set to maximize the overlap, while for a data or speech connection the antenna tilt may be set to minimize the overlap.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for symbol mapping in wireless communication systems utilizing OFDM transmission technology in combination with advanced coding schemes. In the method according to the present invention, adapted for use in a wireless communication system utilising OFDM transmission technology, an OFDM grid is defined by at least a first dimension and a second dimensions from the dimensions time, frequency or space. The advanced coding scheme, for example Alamouti coding, outputs symbols that are related via the coding. At least some of the symbols, defining a code related symbol group should experience identical, or at least very similar, radio channels. According to one embodiment of the present invention, symbols from the same code related symbol group is placed as close together in the OFDM grid as possible.

Abstract: Method and device for controlling specific functions of a load-carrying vehicle when dumping and/or loading the load-carrying platform of the vehicle. The device includes a maneuvering organ (control input) that is arranged in the cabin of the load-carrying vehicle for hand maneuvering by the driver. The maneuvering organ (control input) is coupled to at least one of the brakes of the load-carrying vehicle and to the gearbox of the load-carrying vehicle so that it when activated may activate the brake and select a neutral position in the gearbox.

The method includes detecting maneuvering of a control input arranged in a cabin of a load-carrying vehicle having a load-carrying platform using a computer control unit operatively coupled between the control input and a brake and a gearbox of the vehicle. The brake of the vehicle is activated using the computer control unit and the gearbox of the load-carrying vehicle is caused to assume a neutral position using the computer control unit.

Abstract: A mobile phone is described herein that has control (or at least partial control) over which virtual antenna(s) in one or more base stations should be used for transmissions. In one embodiment, the mobile phone performs the following steps: (1) receives an antenna subset list (from the scheduling unit) which identifies a configuration of virtual antennas that is associated with the base station(s); (2) uses the antenna subset list to select which virtual antenna(s) in the configuration of virtual antennas should be used for transmissions; and (3) sends an antenna selection signal (to the scheduling unit) which contains information that instructs/requests the base station(s)/scheduling unit to use the selected virtual antenna(s) for transmissions.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for minimizing the processing delay incurred by an IC receiver over conventional receivers in a CDMA cellular system are disclosed. The method and apparatus involve operating the conventional receiver and the IC receiver in parallel to each other. Data from the conventional receiver are then used to supplement data from the IC receiver in order to minimize the delays incurred by the IC receiver.

Abstract: A system and methodology is provided herein employing automated search, filtering, and automated document layout technologies conjoined with various delivery options to provide an end-to-end information push service. As such, it enables complete personalized custom report documents to be automatically created, thereby reducing cost in existing personalized document workflows, as well as enabling documents to be created that increase consumer satisfaction and knowledge worker productivity. The user satisfaction and productivity is enhanced by tracking the user's actual usage of the report document and feeding that usage back into the user profile. One example deployment manifestation of the teachings provided yields a personal newspaper embodiment which monitors the user usage and provides feedback of that usage to the system methodology thus dynamically altering any subsequently delivered custom report documents.

Abstract: A method and system for canceling interference in a code division multiple access (CDMA) network. A transmitted signal is spread using a specific spreading sequence. The signal includes a plurality of symbols having a specific spreading factor that differs from the length of the spreading sequence. The transmitted signal is received and filtered using a plurality of despreading sequences to recover the transmitted signal, wherein each despreading sequence corresponds to a particular part of the spreading sequence and is used to despread a portion of the received signal that was spread using the corresponding part of the spreading sequence. Each despreading sequence is adapted to cancel interference caused by other signals, wherein such interference is associated with the part of the spreading sequence that corresponds to the despreading sequence.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a radio receiver station, a multi-user interference cancellation unit and a multi-user cancellation method in a system with several transmitting radio stations. In the method, a radio signal is received as a sum of the signals from at least two of the transmitting radio stations in the system. Interference from at least two of the transmitting radio stations is cancelled. The interfering signals from at least some of the transmitting radio stations are processed in at least two separate operations in one or more stages, the result of each separate operation being taken into consideration in the estimation of the desired modulated signal sent to the receiver. Preferably, a part of the interfering signals is processed in one of the separate operations, while the rest of the interfering signals are processed in the other separate operations.

Abstract: A system and method for improving the accuracy of a location estimation measurement within a telecommunication system is disclosed. Transmissions from surrounding base transceiver systems are received by a reference location device and any inter-base transceiver system timing differences resolved. A location estimate of the mobile station within the telecommunications system is then obtained.

Abstract: Multiple code sets are introduced in the downlink of a CDMA system to allow for more connections in each cell. The codes are then allocated to different users taking into account the interference therebetween. The interference depends on the antenna gains, transmission powers used and cross-correlations between codes. By estimating these parameters the interference can be minimized in the code allocation process. Since the allocation of codes and code sets to geographical areas within a cell may change over time, code handoff is supported.
