  • Patent number: 8647465
    Abstract: Gluing process for micro-structured substrates. The invention is applicable particularly to the fabrication of micro-fluidic components. In order to glue a micro-structured substrate having upper coplanar plane areas and recesses between them, a grid is placed above the substrate, the grid is coated with a glue, using a tool that presses on the grid and locally brings it into contact with the areas, so as to deposit a film of glue droplets on them, and the grid is removed. Furthermore, the upper coplanar plane areas are treated before the film of glue droplets is deposited, this treatment being designed to adapt wettability of these areas to the glue.

  • Patent number: 8649453
    Abstract: Systems and methods utilize enhanced metrics for demodulation and/or soft bit information generation in the presence of a non-constant envelope modulated interfering signal. In one embodiment, a receiver includes a downconverter and a demodulator. The downconverter receives a radio frequency signal comprising a desired signal, noise, and a non-constant envelope modulated interfering signal, and downconverts the radio frequency signal to provide a downconverted signal. The demodulator demodulates the downconverted signal based on a demodulation metric that models the non-constant envelope modulated interfering signal as a stationary non-Gaussian random process with a probability distribution derived from a modulation constellation of a modulation used for the non-constant envelope modulated interfering signal. In one embodiment, the demodulator outputs demodulated symbols. In another embodiment, the demodulator outputs soft bit information.

  • Patent number: 8649267
    Abstract: A method and apparatus in a packet-switched communication network for controlling Quality of Service (QoS) for a packet-switched data stream that includes a plurality of contiguous data packages. The network normally provides the data stream to users at a first QoS level. When it is determined that a receiving user is not authorized to receive the data stream at the first QoS level, the apparatus intercepts the data stream prior to receipt by the receiving user and extracts selected data packages from the data stream to reduce the QoS level for the data stream to a lower, second QoS level to match an authorization status of the receiving user. The apparatus then forwards to the receiving user, a modified data stream with the lower, second QoS level.

  • Patent number: 8649799
    Abstract: A method of managing location information of an Unlicensed Mobile Access terminal in a Global System for Mobile Communications network. An IP address of the terminal is received at a Generic Access Network Controller. The Generic Access Network Controller then sends a query to a Connectivity Session Location and Repository Function associated with the IP network or IP sub network through which the UMA terminal has gained IP connectivity for the purpose of attaching to a Mobile Switching Center or Serving General Packet Radio System Service Node. The Connectivity Session Location and Repository Function sends location information to the Generic Access Network Controller, which then transmits the location information to a Mobile Switching Center or a Serving General Packet Radio System Service Node.

  • Patent number: 8650397
    Abstract: Before actually communicating information/data between two endpoints (C, S) connected to a network a secure and confidential distribution of a special key (K h) is performed to nodes (R j) along a path in the network. This is allowed by performing a path handshaking procedure in which first a hint token is forwarded along the path in a first direction and then a disclosure token is forwarded in the opposite direction. In forwarding the disclosure token it is verified in the nodes against the already received hint token. This assures that only nodes on-the particular path will receive the special key or possibly some other information related thereto.

  • Patent number: 8648533
    Abstract: An overmoded distributed interaction network is provided that generates high peak and average RF power amplification at high frequencies. A series of overmoded cavities are bounded by parallel or concentric grids that may be separated by metallic spacers adapted to function as a photonic bandgap circuit to suppress competing electromagnetic modes. The selected electromagnetic modes have wavelengths much shorter than the lateral dimension of the grids, allowing the beam-wave interaction to be distributed transversely for improved interaction efficiency. The grids may optionally be slotted and arranged to provide a serpentine traveling wave tube configuration.

  • Patent number: 8649745
    Abstract: Systems and methods for compensating for non-linearity of a non-linear subsystem using predistortion are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a non-linear subsystem and a predistorter configured to effect predistortion of an input signal of the non-linear subsystem such that the predistortion compensates for a non-linear characteristic of the non-linear subsystem. The system also includes an adaptor that adaptively configures the predistorter based on a feedback signal that is representative of an output signal of the non-linear subsystem and an input signal that is representative of the input signal of the non-linear subsystem. The adaptor generally models the non-linear subsystem as a concatenation of a non-linear model that corresponds to the non-linear characteristic of the non-linear subsystem and a linear model that corresponds to a known linear characteristic of the non-linear subsystem.
