Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for producing microparticles. Composite microparticles are separated by mixing at least two kinds of fluids to be processed in a thin film fluid that is formed between approachable and separable opposing processing surfaces that relatively rotate, wherein the fluids to be processed are a metal fluid comprising at least two kinds of metal elements that are dissolved in a solvent in the form of metal and/or metal compound and a fluid for separation containing at least one kind of separating substance for separating a composite substance comprising the at least two kinds of metal elements. The molar ratio between the at least two kinds of metal elements contained in the resulting microparticles is controlled by controlling the circumferential speed of the rotation at a confluence where the metal fluid and the fluid for separation merge at this time.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a first station (STA1) and a method performed by a first station (STA1) for handling Request-to-Send/Clear-to-Send, RTS/CTS, transmissions in a wireless communications network (100).

Abstract: A monitor/display is used to display a vision test. A patient is spaced a predetermined distance from the monitor/display during the testing procedure, and individual, multiple LED housings are equally spaced about a center point of the monitor/display to direct light toward the patient during at least a portion of the test procedure. The light emanating from the individual housings is a diffuse, unfocused light to simulate glare, and the intensity of the light may be selectively altered. Conducting vision testing under glare conditions determines if there is any reduction or fall off in the patient's vision under such circumstances and provides an Indication of whether the patient may require cataract surgery or has another ocular problem. An assembly allows an existing vision testing system to be easily modified to provide glare light testing capabilities.

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. In addition, the system includes a narrowband filter that filters a feedback signal that is representative of an output signal of the non-linear subsystem to provide a filtered feedback signal, and an adaptor that adaptively configures the predistorter based on the filtered feedback signal and a reference signal that is representative of an input signal of the non-linear subsystem. By utilizing the filtered feedback signal, rather than the feedback signal, a complexity, and therefore, cost of the adaptor is substantially reduced.
