Abstract: A digital wireless communication system for increasing the number of users capable of communicating over a network permits multiusers to transmit information simultaneously on the same channel of frequency. The primary example of such a system would be that employing radio frequency transmissions, even optical transmissions; however, the invention will also apply to magnectic detections such as in the reading of information stored on a magnetic tape. It is possible to increase overall throughput in terms of total number of bits transmitted through the shared medium by all users of a multiple access system if the signals are allowed to interfere. The present invention provides a multiuser detection process and apparatus that is capable of pulling apart signals in heavy interference in real time by combining the signals received from two or more spatially seperated collectors or antennas.

Abstract: A computer implemented apparatus and method that automates the entry, modification, analysis, and generation of test benches from electrical circuits, both of which are specified as hardware description language (HDL) files. The computer implemented-method and apparatus also provides a unique mechanism that blends entry and display of timing requirements that must be met by the electric circuit.

Abstract: A bibcock nozzle extension for use with an outdoor bibcock is disclosed for facilitating an easy manual connection of a bibcock's threaded nozzle to a hose. A bibcock nozzle extension has a contoured outer surface which conforms to the palm of a human hand and facilitates an easy, manual, leak-proof connection between a bibcock's threaded nozzle and a bibcock nozzle extension. The extra length provided by a bibcock nozzle extension allows a user to easily make a hose connection to a manually difficult bibcock access to provide sufficient space to manipulate the operator's hands when connecting a garden hose to the bibcock extension without touching the wall or the bibcock handle.
