Abstract: The present invention provides a composite structure comprising a translucent layer (1) having a light transmittance of 1 to 50%, an opaque layer (2) containing a translucent area (6), and a touch sensor area (5) that is at least partly arranged in or above or below the translucent area of layer (2). The present invention also provides a method of producing the composite structure. The composite structure can be used to replace conventional buttons in motor vehicles.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sheet structure comprising a carrier layer and a foamed cover layer which contains polyvinyl chloride, lignocellulosic based components and hollow microspheres, and a method for producing the sheet structure. The sheet structure can be used as an artificial leather, e.g. for flexible automotive interiors.

Abstract: A synchronisation symbol detector that comprises two correlation modules and a comparison module. The first correlation module performs one or more correlations between the input signal and a down-converted version of the input signal and generates a first correlation metric from the one or more first correlations. The second correlation module performs one or more second correlations between the input signal and an up-converted version of the input signal and generates a second correlation metric from the one or more second correlations. The comparison module is configured to compare the first correlation metric and the second correlation metric and determine whether the input signal comprises a synchronisation symbol based on the comparison.

Abstract: Channel state information (CSI) scaling modules for use in a demodulator configured to demodulate a signal received over a transmission channel, the demodulator comprising a soft decision error corrector (e.g. LDPC decoder) configured to decode data carried on data symbols of the received signal based on CSI values. The CSI scaling module is configured to monitor the performance of the soft decision error corrector and in response to determining the performance of the soft decision error corrector is below a predetermined level, dynamically select a new CSI scaling factor based on the performance of the soft decision error corrector.
