  • Method and system for overloaded array processing
    Patent number: 6868133
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a method and system for array processing are disclosed. Signals transmitting a symbol set are received. A dominant signal set for each signal, which includes dominant signals that interfere with the signal, is determined. A trellis, which includes paths that represent possible symbol sets, is constructed from the dominant signal sets. An optimal path from the trellis is selected, and the symbol set represented by the optimal path is determined.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 15, 2001
    Date of Patent: March 15, 2005
    Assignee: Virginia Tech Intellectual Properties, Inc.
    Inventors: James E. Hicks, Robert J. Boyle, Saffet Bayram, Jeffrey H. Reed

  • Fire retardant treatment of fire unstable materials and products obtained
    Patent number: 4223066
    Abstract: Pressure treatment of fire unstable materials by an intumescent fire retardant composition which is injected or insinuated into the surface of fire unstable materials results in a fire and flameproof structure with a high capacity to withstand prolonged exposure to flame and heat.

  • Fire and heat resistant structures
    Patent number: 4168347
    Abstract: Fire and heat resistant structures made by the use of fire retardant compositions of the type involving the reaction of phosphoric acid and a reducing sugar are rendered insensitive to moisture by heat curing using high frequency electric current during the production of the fire and heat resistance structures.
