Abstract: A method is described for transmitting data from a mobile station to a wireless network, as is a wireless communications system that operates in accordance with the method. The method includes (a) requesting permission to transmit data using an access channel; (b) in response to receiving a permission message from the wireless network, transmitting the data from the mobile station to the wireless network over a control channel using a modulation and channel coding scheme determined in the wireless network, and communicated to mobile station in the permission message; and (c) in response to receiving the transmitted data at the wireless network, soft combining the received data with previously received data, if any, until a desired decoding result is achieved, and transmitting an acknowledgment of data reception to the mobile station. The steps of transmitting and receiving preferably use a code division, multiple access technique.

Abstract: An orthotic walker comprises an orthosis (60) mounted on a wheeled frame (10) which includes a first or rearward transverse frame member (11) having thereon an attachment device (17) for releasably mounting a support member (20) adapted to carry said orthosis (60) and a connection assembly (13, 33) for the releasable connection of forwardly extending lateral frame members (30) with an optional removable forward transverse frame member (50). The first frame member (11) carries a pair of laterally spaced wheels (16) and the lateral frame members (30) each carry a further wheel (41) at the forward end thereof. Several interchangeable lateral frame members (30, 30A) are provided whereby the overall width of the frame (10) can be varied by selecting lateral frame members (32, 32A) of differing size. The support member (20) which carries the orthosis (60) is one of a plurality of interchangeable support members (20, 20A) provided in a range of sizes to suit patients of differing height and weight.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for power control on a first channel that is shared by multiple mobile stations transmitting to base stations in a telecommunication system. An initial mobile station transmission power level is set on the first channel that is shared in the random access mode. The transmission power level may be determined based on a desired performance level of the first channel. The method and system may be efficiently applied on a channel that carries a transmission in one or more bursts, with each burst including the same or a varying number of frames of varying sizes. The method and apparatus utilizes a second channel that is shared by multiple mobile stations for transmitting the power control signaling from the base stations to the mobile stations.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for reducing the time delay associated with compensating for fading effects. The system includes a base station and a mobile station in communication. The base station transmits information and a pilot signal to the mobile station through each of the channels. The mobile station receives the information as noisy information and the pilot signal as a noisy pilot signal from each of the channels and compares the received noisy pilot signals to determine and predict a weight to be assigned to each of the channels. The calculated predicted weights are transmitted from the mobile station back to the base station as predicted feedback information that is utilized by the base station to alter the characteristics of the modulated carrier signal prior to transmission.

Abstract: A safe, effective, and economical method is provided for recovering olefins from cat-cracked gases without accumulating dangerous amounts of nitrogen oxides. A stream of cat-cracked gas first is scrubbed to remove acid gases, including nitrogen dioxide (NO.sub.2), and then is passed through a depropanizer fractionation tower. Hydrocarbons having four or more carbon atoms are recovered in the bottoms of the depropanizer, and the overhead from the depropanizer--which is composed of hydrocarbons having three or fewer carbon atoms--is sent to an absorber demethanizer tower. Hydrocarbons having two or more carbon atoms are recovered in the bottoms from the absorber demethanizer tower, where temperatures are no lower than about -45.56.degree. C. (-50.degree. F.) The overhead from the absorber demethanizer tower--which is composed of methane, hydrogen, and trace amounts of nitrogen oxide, C.sub.2, and absorbent (C.sub.3)--then is chilled to condense and recover trace amounts of C.sub.
