Abstract: Duo-binary encoding is used for encoding I and Q data prior to performing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based transmission using discrete Fourier transform spreading (DFT-S). Advantageously, duo-binary encoding improves robustness of the encoded signal to inter symbol interference, making the degradation caused by the subsequent DFT-S stage less susceptible to reduction in bit error rate performance.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for automatically batching GUI-based (Graphical User Interface) tasks.

With the described techniques, the user may be asked to verify and/or correct the predicted next tasks. Furthermore, the described techniques may include performing a batch and doing so without user interaction.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a mask plate, an exposure system comprising a mask plate and an exposing method. The mask plate comprises a light transmitting region, a light shielding region, and a light reflecting region for reflecting exposure light to the light shielding region, with the pattern of the light from the transmitting region and reflecting region corresponding to the pattern of the region exposed to a first and a second substrate respectively. When exposure light irradiates on the mask plate, it passes through the light transmitting region and exposes the first substrate. The light reflecting region reflects the exposure light to a principal reflection structure which further reflects the light for exposing the second substrate. The first and second substrate may be exposed via the same mask plate to minimize waste of exposure light to save production time and efficiency.

Abstract: An optical transmitter transmits an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbol in which only one-half of available subcarriers are modulated with data and the remaining subcarriers are suppressed by not modulating with data. The transmission is of duration equal to half the symbol period of the OFDM symbol, resulting in a half-cycle transmission. An optical receiver receives the half-cycle transmission OFDM symbol, regenerates the full time domain representation and recovers data modulated on the one-half of available subcarriers. The modulated subcarriers and the suppressed subcarriers alternate in the frequency domain.
