Abstract: A channel equalizer obtains channel impulse responses (CIRs) for all subcarriers by way of filtering channel impulse responses of specific subcarriers using at least two filters. One of the two filters may be a low pass filter. At least one other of the at least two filters is implemented as a band pass filter having a variable filtering bandwidth, being available to establish various filtering bandwidths in response to various multi-path channel environments. By improving the performance of channel estimation, equalization may be improved.

Abstract: Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) such as PTP1B can play a role in regulating a wide variety of cellular responses such as insulin signaling. Substituted thiophene compounds such as, for example, 2-carboxyl, 3-carboxymethoxy, 5-aryl substituted thiophenes, can inhibit PTP1B and thereby induce greater insulin sensitivity. Accordingly, PTP1B inhibition can provide an alternate treatment for PTPase-mediated disorders such as diabetes.

The electric motor is connected to and applies torque on the other input element. While the vehicle is running, the engine can be started smoothly by engaging the torque-limited clutch and controlling the motor torque, and a shock on the vehicle similar to a rough shift can be avoided.
