Abstract: A method for simultaneously extracting Lycopene and Citrulline from a watermelon includes: separating the rind and the pulp of the watermelon, preprocessing the rind, and using the preprocessed rind to extract the Citrulline; subjecting the pulp to biological enzymolysis and filtering, centrifuging a filtrate, using a precipitate and a filter residue obtained after the centrifuging to extract the Lycopene, and using a supernatant obtained after the centrifuging to extract the Citrulline. By using the method for synchronously extracting Lycopene and Citrulline from the watermelon of the present invention, about 0.5 kg of Lycopene (6% content) and more than 1.2 kg of Citrulline which are worthy of nearly ten thousand yuan can be extracted from each ton of imperfect watermelons, the economic benefit of each ton of watermelons can be increased by more than 5000 yuan after extraction costs are deducted, and the method is high in economic benefits.

Abstract: A bit interleaver, a bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) device and a bit interleaving method are disclosed herein. The bit interleaver includes a first memory, a processor, and a second memory. The first memory stores a low-density parity check (LDPC) codeword having a length of 16200 and a code rate of 2/15. The processor generates an interleaved codeword by interleaving the LDPC codeword on a bit group basis. The size of the bit group corresponds to a parallel factor of the LDPC codeword. The second memory provides the interleaved codeword to a modulator for 64-symbol mapping.
