  • Patent number: 7931222
    Abstract: An agitator mill for treating free-flowing grinding stock has a grinding receptacle and an interior stator disposed therein. A rotatably drivable annular cylindrical rotor is disposed between the interior stator and the receptacle wall, with a grinding chamber being defined between said rotor and the receptacle wall. A grinding-stock discharge conduit is formed between the rotor and the interior stator (22) which is connected to the grinding chamber by means of a deflection conduit. Devices are provided for preventing the carry-over of auxiliary grinding bodies from the grinding chamber into the grinding-stock discharge conduit.

  • Patent number: 7697565
    Abstract: A transmission apparatus for transmitting data has a table that includes a plurality of constellation versions for a 64 QAM modulation scheme. Each of the constellation versions defines at least one of (i) bit positions in a bit sequence and (ii) logical values of bits of the bit sequence. A transmission section transmits data using one of the constellation versions based on the table.

  • Patent number: 7693179
    Abstract: A hybrid ARQ retransmission method involves encoding data packets with a forward error correction (FEC) technique prior to transmission. The data packets are re-transmitted based on an automatic repeat request (ARQ) and subsequently soft-combined with previously received erroneous data packets either on a symbol-by-symbol or a bit-by-bit basis. The symbols of the erroneous data packets are modulated by employing a first signal constellation. The symbols of the re-transmitted data packets are modulated by employing at least a second signal constellation. Each symbol bit has a mean bit reliability defined by the individual bit reliabilities over all symbols of the predetermined signal constellation. The first constellation and the at least second signal constellation are selected such that the combined mean bit reliabilities for the respective bits of all transmissions are averaged out.

  • Publication number: 20070230613
    Abstract: A hybrid ARQ retransmission method in a communication system, wherein data packets being encoded with a forward error correction (FEC) technique prior to transmission, are retransmitted based on an automatic repeat request and subsequently soft-combined with previously received erroneous data packets either on a symbol-by-symbol or a bit-by-bit basis The symbols of said erroneous data packets are modulated by employing a predetermined first signal constellation. The symbols of the retransmitted data packets are modulated by employing at least a predetermined second signal constellation. Each symbol bit has a mean bit reliability defined by the individual bit reliabilities over all symbols of the predetermined signal constellation. According to the invention, the predetermined first and the at least second signal constellation are selected such that the combined mean bit reliabilities for the respective bits of all transmissions are averaged out.

  • Patent number: 5133508
    Abstract: An agitator mill has an in each case annular cylindrical exterior grinding chamber and an interior grinding chamber, which are delimitated from each other by a cup-shaped agitator element, the interior grinding chamber and the exterior grinding chamber being connected with each other by bypasses formed in the agitator element for the return of auxiliary grinding bodies. In order to improve the grinding result and to increase the lifetime of the auxiliary grinding bodies or to be able to use even smaller auxiliary grinding bodies without their reaching a separator device arranged ahead of a grinding stock exit, carriers are arranged in the area of the bypasses at the inner casing of the agitator element and extend over a substantial part of the radial width of the interior grinding chamber and into it.

  • Patent number: 5062577
    Abstract: An agitator mill for the treatment of flowable grinding stock has a grinding receptacle (3) with a mostly closed grinding chamber (9) and a rotatingly drivable agitator element (21) disposed therein. An interior stator (24) is disposed in the agitator element. A grinding stock supply chamber (53) is placed ahead of the grinding chamber. On the same side of the grinding receptacle (3) a separator device (34) is provided through which the grinding stock is discharged again after treatment. In order to prevent to a large extent wear on the separator device (34) and, at the same time, to achieve as even as possible a distribution of the grinding bodies in the grinding chamber (9), the agitator element (21) is designed approximately cup-shaped and disposed between the interior stator (24) and the wall of the grinding receptacle (3) with the formation of an exterior grinding chamber (9') and an interior grinding chamber (9").
