Abstract: A method for detecting base stations is shown comprising steps of determining an assumed primary synchronization signal with the strongest peak in a signal set; finding an associated secondary synchronization signal; shifting the assumed primary synchronization signal and the secondary synchronization signal at the same point and time; subtracting the signals from one another obtaining a residual signal; and determining whether a peak of the residual signal is present which is larger than a predetermined threshold. Further, a search device is shown.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a unified file index for a file system. In one example, a Grand Unified File Index (GUFI) includes a tree replicating the directory hierarchy of one or more primary filesystems, and individual metadata stores for each directory. The GUFI tree permits fast traversal, efficient user space access controls, and simple tree directed operations such as renames, moves, or permission changes. In some examples, the individual metadata stores can be implemented as embedded databases on flash storage for speed. In some examples, use of summary tables at the directory or subtree level can eliminate wasteful executions, prune tree traversal, and further improve performance. In various examples, efficient operation can be achieved from laptop to supercomputer scale, across a wide mix of file distributions and filesystems.

Abstract: A hammock system, kit, and apparatus with a multiplicity of serially coupled hammock parts and accessories that are selectably removable and re-coupleable to each other along their longitudinal ends in any order. A hammock bed has first and second bed coupling structures (e.g. zippers) disposed along each longitudinal sides such that accessories are selectably coupled thereto; a first hammock accessory (e.g. water-proof covers, mosquito netting, waterproof shells, vented covers, extension winglets, side-bags, and ground tarps) having a first accessory coupling structure that is selectably couplable to each of the first and second bed coupling structures; and a second hammock accessory (e.g. a powered accessory e.g. an array of lights, a fan, a powered heating elements, and an audio speaker) having a second accessory coupling structure that is selectably couplable to each of the first and second bed coupling structures. One or more splitters/extenders may be included.

Abstract: Efficient, scalable, programmable, and reliable computing systems, built from a homogeneous set of relatively humble processors arranged logically or physically into a Recurrent Multi-Stage Interconnection Network (RMIN) is provided. The RMIN may include a plurality of layers, where each of the plurality of layers includes a plurality of nodes. The RMIN may also include a plurality of links configured to connect each of the plurality of layers, and a plurality of recurrent links configured to connect a plurality of nodes in a last layer of the plurality of layers to plurality nodes in a first layer of the plurality of layers. The plurality of links, together with the plurality of recurrent links, may be configured to allow data originating in any layer of the plurality of layers to pass through each of the plurality of layers without interruption.

Abstract: A superabsorbent material with enhanced odour control and control of bacterial growth comprises a non-acidic, alkali-neutralizing compound selected from acid anhydrides, lactides, lactones and hydrolysable esters, especially cyclic acid anhydrides, lactides and lactones of ?- or ?-carboxylic acids. The superabsorbent material can be used in hygiene products such as diapers.

Abstract: A superabsorbent article of the invention having improved odour control and microbial control, comprises a liquid-impervious back layer, a liquid-absorbing intermediate layer containing a partially neutralized, acidic hydrophilic polymer, especially a surface-crosslinked polyacrylate, and a liquid-pervious, non-absorbing top layer, and is characterised by comprising an alkali-neutralising agent which is evenly distributed in said absorbing intermediate layer.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the recovery of organic substances dissolved or brought into a colloid form during the manufacture of a mechanical pulp where said mechanical pulp has not been subject to previous alkaline bleaching or other previous process carried out under alkaline conditions. The method is characterized in the deacetylation of the galactoglucomannans having been brought into dissolved or colloidal form during the pulping process, and subsequent deposition of said deacetylated glucomannans onto a solid phase, such as pulp fibers or organic or inorganic additives. The deacetylation is performed either by alkali or enzymatically. The method diminishes the organic substance loading on recycling waters and effluents, and improves the yield and strength properties of the pulp.
