  • Patent number: 10826649
    Abstract: A communication device determines that a data rate of a data packet exceeds a threshold, and in response, lowers a processing speed of an equalizer device to prevent a buffer from overflowing. The buffer stores outputs generated by the equalizer device. A forward error correction code decoder device of the communication device processes outputs of the equalizer device corresponding to the data packet to generate decoded information corresponding to the data packet. The communication device transmits an acknowledgment packet to acknowledge the data packet such that transmission of the acknowledgment packet begins within required time period, defined by a communication protocol, after an end of the data packet.

  • Patent number: 10505599
    Abstract: A plurality of circuit units of a matrix processor of a communication device are used to decompose a plurality of channel matrices, corresponding to a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) tones, over a plurality of cycles to determine matrix equalizer coefficients. Decomposing the plurality of channel matrices includes determining respective modes of operation for respective ones of the circuit units for respective ones of the cycles. The respective modes of operation are selected from a set of modes that includes at least one of a bypass mode for propagating input signals to output signals without altering the input signals and an idle mode for saving power when a particular circuit unit is not needed during a particular cycle. The respective circuit units are individually controlled to operate in the determined respective modes during the corresponding cycles. The determined matrix coefficients are then applied to received data signals.

  • Patent number: 8597925
    Abstract: A homogeneously-structured catalyst/enzyme composite structure formed by electrophoresis deposition (EPD) method. Catalyst and enzyme are simultaneously deposited onto the electrode surface by the EPD method, so as to form a film of catalyst/enzyme composite thereon. The film of catalyst/enzyme composite includes enzyme for catalyzing the biochemical reaction, and catalyst for increasing the rate of the electrochemical reaction, which are homogeneously mixed and forms a stable and three-dimensional structure. Also, this homogeneously-structured catalyst/enzyme composite is applicable as a working electrode of the bioreceptor in a mini-biosensor.
