  • Patent number: 8327208
    Abstract: There is provided a time-division duplex transmit-receive apparatus in which the respective amplitude and phase characteristics of N sets of transmitting unit-receiving unit pair connected with N antenna elements are corrected all together and at the same time. At the time of reception, the reference signal from reference signal generator is branched into N reference signals. The branched reference signal is applied to the reception system through the transmit-receive switching switch. The reception-side error detector detects the error between the output signal of the reception-side amplitude-phase correction circuit and the reference signal to control the reception-side amplitude-phase correction circuit so that the error becomes zero. At the time of transmission, a part of transmitting signal is applied to the reception system through the antenna path.

  • Patent number: 8321204
    Abstract: A system for generating a lexicon of words, organized into weighted categories, from a user defined set of example documents for detecting suspicious e-mails from a mail archive is provided. The system uses a set of example documents and e-mails given by the user to probabilistically find possible lists of critical words. The obtained list is now applied on an archive of e-mails. The system generates an inverted index on the mails from the archive to facilitate search for the key phrases. User feedback is taken on the results obtained and corrections in the lexicon made if necessary. Thus, the mails are scanned based on user feedback, user defined words and automatically generated word list. These lists constantly adapt as e-mails in the archive change. The system then combines all these to present the user with several possible sets of keywords and their relative importance that can be used as a policy for a desired level of accuracy. The system also shows the user any change if the set is modified.
