Patent number: 10870511Abstract: The present invention relates to a container (1) comprising a bottom panel (2), a front panel (3), two side panels (4), a rear panel (5), and a top panel (6). The front panel (3) and the two side panels (4) each comprises a perforation line (7) so that a hingedly connected lid (8) is obtained when the perforation lines (7) are broken. The perforation line (7) in the front panel (3) is a row of perforations (23) arranged along a line or curve which forms an edge (24) of the lid (8) after the perforations (23) have been broken. Each of the perforation lines (7) in the side panels (4) is a row of perforations (23) each comprising two coherent first and second cuts (26,27) with a blunt angle (?) there between. These perforations (23) are arranged to provide a row of tooth-shaped regions (25), where each tooth-shaped region (25) is delimited by a first cut (26) and a second cut (27), respectively, from two mutually adjacent but non-coherent perforations (23).Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2015Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Societe des Produits Nestle S.A.Inventors: Sebastian Eckert, Rafael Schraml, Marco Vierling, Martin Zelosko

Patent number: 9520910Abstract: A receiver component and a method for enhancing a detection range of a time synchronization process in a receiver utilize multiple cross-correlations of a received signal with a known preamble sequence. The results of the multiple cross-correlations are divided into delay segments. The delay segments of one of the multiple cross-correlations are compared with the delay segments of another of the multiple cross-correlations to determine delay of the delay segments of the one of the multiple cross-correlation results.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2015Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Sebastian Eckert, Martin Kessel

Patent number: 9124459Abstract: Sphere decoding of signals for MIMO detection involves a first distance processor arranged to determine a distance between symbols of a received symbol vector and possible transmit symbols, in a search sequence according to a search tree. A line from root to leaf of the search tree represents a possible transmit symbol vector and the sequence of processing root level symbols can be ordered with respect to increasing distance without explicit sorting of the root level symbols based on distance calculations. A next symbol in the sequence is determined, based on a symbol currently being processed by the first distance processor, and a second distance processor determines the distance in respect of the next symbol in the search sequence for the same possible transmit symbol vector, in parallel with the determining of the distance in respect of the current symbol by the first distance processor.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Özgün Paker, Sebastian Eckert, Sebastien Mouy

Patent number: 8699599Abstract: A low complexity method for determining a search sequence of nodes for an efficient soft-decision sphere decoding algorithm for use in receivers for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) communication signals is achieved by determining a first member of the search sequence by rounding a received symbol (z) to a first constellation symbol (xc) of the QAM constellation, classifying the remaining constellation symbols (xi) of the QAM constellation into a plurality of sub-sets of constellation symbols having the same distance metric relative to said first constellation point (xc) according to a metric dsequ(n)=2a·n=max{|real(xc?xi)|,|imag(xc?xi)|}, a being a scaling factor of the constellation grid, and ordering said sub-sets of constellation symbols in ascending order of their distance metric relative to the first constellation symbol (xc), and ordering the members of each sub-set of constellation symbols that are defined by the same distance metric according to their Euclidean distances.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2011Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Intel Mobile Communications Technology Dresden GmbHInventor: Sebastian Eckert

Patent number: 8443248Abstract: A method is provided for decoding data packets in wireless communication schemes that use a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request technique, and a receiver for wireless communication that performs such a method. The HARQ memory incorporated in a receiver for wireless communication is minimized to a size which only reserves memory for an average number of erroneous sub-packets. Following decoding, an error check is performed on a per sub-packet basis, and only the softbits of those sub-packets for which decoding errors have been detected are stored in the HARQ memory. Correctly decoded sub-packets are stored in a separate memory. This significantly decreases the size of the HARQ memory required at the receiver which is beneficial in terms of both silicon area and power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2010Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Intel Mobile Communications Technology Dresden GmbHInventor: Sebastian Eckert
