Abstract: The invention includes an apparatus and method for testing an electronic signal path. The apparatus includes a signal generator (102) configured to inject a test signal into the electronic signal path at an injection point when coupled to the signal path. The apparatus further includes a detector (104) coupled to the signal generator and configured to receive a combined signal at the injection point when coupled to the electronic signal path and determine an autocorrelation of the combined signal. The apparatus further includes an analyzer coupled to the detector and configured to determine a characteristic of the electronic signal path from the autocorrelation. The method includes injecting (902) a test signal into the electronic signal path an injection point, receiving (904) a combined signal from the electronic signal path at the injection point, determining (906) an autocorrelation of the combined signal, and estimating (908) a characteristic of the electronic signal path from the autocorrelation.

Abstract: A device and method for measuring the electrical properties of electronic signal paths, including wires and wireless channels. The device may be used for detecting open circuits, short circuits, and the lengths of wires.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for the preparation of S-(?)-amlodipine from (R,S)-amlodipine in industrial-scale using L-(+)-tartaric acid, which is much cheaper than D-(?)-tartaric acid.

Abstract: Provided is a method for designing multiband antenna using a genetic algorithm unit linked to an electromagnetic wave analyzing unit and to a computer-readable recording medium for recording a program that implements the method. The multiband antenna designing method can design an antenna having an optimal structure by combining a genetic algorithm, one of global optimization techniques, with a full electromagnetic wave analyzing program Quick Finite Difference Time Domain (QFDTD).

Abstract: A method of making a label, the method having the steps of providing a first label; providing an identification strip; mounting the identification strip to the first label; providing a second label; and coupling the second label to the first label without using an adhesive.
