Abstract: The present disclosure presents a predictive signal producing method that effectively levels transmitter output power in a multi-carrier communication system and results in approaching amplifier performance normally associated with constant carrier waveforms. Embodiments of the disclosed solution offers >10 dB reduction in the peak-to-average power required to support the transmission of, for example, orthogonal frequency division modulation (“OFDM”) modulation techniques. Embodiments of the novel system and method maximize peak-to-average power ratio (“PAPR”) reduction with selective mapping and soft clipping, which may include filtering, combined. This novel approach also minimizes overhead, bit error rate, retransmissions, and increases latency as well as implementing processing cycles with a number of iterations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for the automatic generation of numerical control (NC) tool paths in a CAD/CAM environment. The present invention operates on mechanical parts described as solid models. The process employs well-defined solid models of the part to be machined and the raw stock from which it will be machined. The volumetric difference between the stock and the part defines the material (delta volumes) that must be cut away during the actual machining process. Delta volumes are solid models, and users (or an expert system) can subdivide delta volumes into smaller volumes that are consistent with a manufacturing process plan. A delta volume and a user-defined strategy for machining the delta volume are then input to NC algorithms. The algorithms generate NC tool paths that remove as much delta volume material as possible. Tool volumes are automatically generated from NC tool paths to represent the volume traversed by the cutting tool.

Abstract: Accurate tuning of a satellite system's burst demodulator to a signal which is subject to frequency offset in the course of its transmission over the satellite link is achieved without the use of high precision oscillators at remote sites, or the transmission of a dedicated pilot tone. Instead, a dedicated high precision clock is used for the purpose of establishing both the outlink carrier and the return channel carrier. The modulation of the data on the outlink carrier is also derived from the precision clock source. At each remote station, the outlink channel is monitored to recover the high precision clock. This recovered clock is then used as a reference for generating the return channel carrier. The burst demodulator equipment at the master station monitors both the outlink channel continuous carrier and burst mode transmissions from the remote stations.
