  • Patent number: 7275820
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a spectacles and sunshade clip assembly. The assembly comprises spectacles including a pair of lens frames, and a pair of hinges affixed to opposite outer ends of the lens, and a sunshade clip including a pair of sunshade lens frames connected to each other by means of a bridge. The sunshade clip further comprises a pair of magnet ribs affixed to opposite outer ends of the sunshade lens frames to linearly extend across only a relatively short distance in a longitudinal direction of the sunshade clip. A respective one of the hinges provided at the spectacles is spaced apart forward from a reference line having a radius of curvature defined by inner surfaces of the lens frames, so that a portion thereof, coming into contact with a corresponding one of the lens frames, forms a forwardly-protruding portion. The forwardly-protruding portion is formed as a recessed magnet-mounting portion to receive a corresponding one of the magnets.

  • Patent number: 7277052
    Abstract: A method to detect and/or locate a mobile craft in a reception system making use of transmitters of opportunity, whose signal comprises elements enabling the synchronization of the receiver, wherein certain discriminating sequences are detected of the payload signal. Each transmission present on the carrier frequencies examined by the receiver or receivers is separated by the space/time filtering of the signals in each carrier frequency. The transmitters Ei corresponding to the signals received are identified. The pulse response of the propagation channel for each transmitter Ei and for each detection made on this transmitter are determined by measuring the instant of arrival of the path reflected by the mobile craft is measured and then its delay relative to the instant of transmission from the transmitter. The position of the mobile craft is deduced at the intersection of the ellipsoids defined by the foci constituted by the transmitters Ei from which signals are received and the receiver or receivers Rj.

  • Patent number: 7263118
    Abstract: An interference canceller is herein disclosed wherein a baseband signal is input to a detector's fingers, and the fingers detect multi-path signals and estimate the baseband signal's channel. An MRC uses the finger's despread signal and the channel estimate to output a soft bit decision value, while a signal regenerator uses a hard bit decision value and the finger's channel estimate to regenerate the baseband signal. An SIR measurer uses a soft bit decision value and a despreader's channel estimate to measure an SIR. A signal selector compares each detector's SIR measurement value with a target SIR, and when the SIR measurement value is greater than the target SIR, it selects the detector's regeneration signal to group received signals. A subtractor subtracts the regeneration signal from the baseband signal.

The system, which removes patterns of the semiconductor wafer in a dry manner by using blasting grit, includes a mesh conveyor, a grit blaster, a swinging element, a collecting element, a separating element, and a dust collector. The mesh conveyor transports the semiconductor wafer so that the patterns face upward. The grit blaster is installed above the mesh conveyor and has at least one blasting nozzle for blasting grits toward the semiconductor wafer to remove the patterns from the semiconductor wafer. The swinging element swings the blasting nozzle in a plane perpendicular to a transporting path of the semiconductor wafer along the mesh conveyor.
