Patent number: 8430447Abstract: A motor vehicle front spoiler has a spoiler lip (11) extending in the region of a front part of the motor vehicle over the entire width or part of the width of the front part. An actuating element (12) enables the spoiler lip (11) to be shifted between an extended operating position, in which the spoiler lip (11) forms a downwardly directed extension of the front part and acts as an aerodynamic air-guiding device, and a retracted inoperative position, in which the spoiler lip (11) is directed to the rear and essentially has no aerodynamic air-guiding effect. A portion (13) of the spoiler lip (11) that is at the bottom in the operating position of the spoiler lip (11) and is in the vicinity of the roadway can be replaced.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2011Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignees: Dr. Ing.

Publication number: 20120285598Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a tire having a colored sidewall. The method comprises disposing a strip of a colored rubber compound circumferentially about the external surface of the sidewall region of the tire in its uncured state, placing the uncured tire in a tire curing mold with the strip exposed to direct contact with the mold, providing the mold with circumferential recesses at both sides of the rubber strip and letting the strip slightly overlap with the recesses in the radial direction of the tire, curing the tire whereby circumferential side parts of the strip flow into the recesses to form circumferential protrusions in the strip, removing the tire from the mold, and removing the protrusions at least partially. The invention further relates to a tire obtained with the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2012Publication date: November 15, 2012Applicant: APOLLO VREDESTEIN B.V.Inventors: Louis-Philippe Antoine Eugène Maria Reuvekamp, Paulus Bremmer

Patent number: 7756217Abstract: Provided is a method and system for increasing cyclic prefix and cyclic suffix based upon a fast Fourier transform (FFT) and inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT). The method includes representing at least one of the one or more DMT symbols in frequency domain to produce a frequency domain representation. The frequency domain representation corresponds to a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation. Next the QAM constellation is rotated in the frequency domain by changing a characteristic of the DMT symbol as a function of tone index (k), cyclic extension length (CE), inverse fast fourier transform (IFFT) size (N), and pi. Finally, a number of extended symbols are produced to represent the DMT symbol based upon the rotating.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2005Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Miguel Peeters, Philippe Antoine, Geert Goris

Patent number: 7502469Abstract: To generate a pseudo-random sequence of multi-carrier data symbols, a pseudo-random bit sequence is produced by repetitively generating a pseudo-random sequence of L bits, L being a first integer value. To create a multi-carrier data symbol, N bits are used, N being a second integer value. The pseudo-random bit sequence is subdivided into strings of N? bits, N? being a third integer value larger than N, and N bits out of each string of N? bits are used to generate a respective multi-carrier data symbol. N?-N bits out of each string of N? bits are left unused.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2005Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignee: AlcatelInventor: Philippe Antoine

Patent number: 7388925Abstract: In a multi-carrier system, the carriers (f0 . . . f511, f512 . . . f1023, . . . , f3584 . . . f4095) are grouped in subsets (SUBSET1; SUBSET2; . . . ; SUBSET8). A constellation information transmitting arrangement (BiGi_TA), for instance located in the multi-carrier receiver (RX), produces for each carrier subset (SUBSET1; SUBSET2; . . . ; SUBSET8) a limited set of parameter values (B1, G1; B2, G2; . . . ; B8, G8) and transmits these sets of parameter values (B1, G1; B2, G2; . . . ; B8, G8) to a constellation information receiving arrangement (BiGi_RA), for instance located in the multi-carrier transmitter (TX). Through interpolation of the limited set of parameter values (B1, G1; B2, G2; . . . ; B8, G8) the latter constellation information receiving arrangement (BiGi_RA) determines the constellation where each carrier (f0 . . . f511, f512 . . . f1023, . . . , f3584 . . . f4095) of a carrier subset (SUBSET1; SUBSET2; . . . ; SUBSET8) will be modulated with.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2001Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: AlcatelInventors: Miguel Peeters, Dimitri Marcel Saey, Philippe Antoine

Patent number: 7313209Abstract: The invention relates to a method to synchronise a multi-carrier transmission system wherein a time misalignment between a transmitter and a receiver is determined through an average of at least two pilot tones phase errors (Øi) weighted in accordance with the noise affecting each pilot tone transmission. Such method is characterised in that, when the noise affecting a pilot tone (38, 40) reaches a predetermined level, the pilot tone function is reallocated from this pilot tone (38, 40) to another carrier (42, 44) and/or this pilot tone weight is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2003Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: AlcatelInventors: Philippe Antoine, Wim André Paula De Wilde

Patent number: 6917795Abstract: A multi-carrier receiver selects antennas (A31, A32), i.e. carriers whereto a small amount of power and data is allocated, for estimation of characteristics of a narrowband disturber (RFI-Signal-3) in the Radio Frequency Interference band (RFI-Band), a predetermined band for e.g. radio amateur transmission. These antennas (A31, A32) can be selected amongst all carriers located inside the Radio Frequency Interference band (RFI-Band) and at least two carriers (C1, C2) located outside the Radio Frequency Interference band (RFI-Band).Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2002Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: AlcatelInventors: Philippe Antoine, Thierry Pollet
