| 20120076214 | Multi-symbol channel estimation method for estimating channel response in a multi-carrier modulation system - A method of multi-symbol channel estimation for estimating channel response to a plurality of transmission symbols within an observation window transmitted through a time-varying channel in a multi-carrier modulation system is provided. The method is to be implemented using a channel estimation device, and includes the steps of: obtaining a window pilot receive vector according to a part of elements of each of receive symbols corresponding to pilots in a corresponding one of the transmission symbols; computing a window pilot channel trans form matrix based upon the pilots in the transmission symbols; computing an estimated value of a polynomial coefficient vector based upon the window pilot receive vector and the window pilot channel transform matrix; and for each of the transmission symbols, computing a plurality of estimated values of channel response associated with possible transmission paths in the time-varying channel according to the estimated value of the polynomial coefficient vector. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120006758 | METHOD OF RECOVERING POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES (PHAS) FROM MUNICIPAL WASTE SLUDGE - A method of recovering polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from municipal waste sludge includes: (a) removing coarse particles in the municipal waste sludge and measuring a solid content in the municipal waste sludge in terms of a volatile suspended solid in the municipal waste sludge; (b) removing a supernatant from the municipal waste sludge; (c) freezing the municipal waste sludge; (d) adding a controlled amount of sodium hypochlorite solution to the municipal waste sludge that has been frozen, a ratio of the solid content of the municipal waste sludge to a volume of the sodium hypochlorite solution added in step (d) ranging from 0.67 mg/ml to 4 mg/ml and being defined as a liquid-solid ratio; and (e) separating PHAs from non-PHAs substances in the municipal waste sludge obtained in the step (d). | 01-12-2012 |

| 20110185409 | Authentication Method and System of At Least One Client Device with Limited Computational Capability - An authentication method of a server device and at least one client device with limited computational capability includes randomly generating an initial codeword using the client device. The initial codeword is generated from a linear combination of at least one base. The base is assigned to the client device and selected from a generator matrix that is stored in the server device and that corresponds to a linear code. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20100156467 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR DIFFERENT COLORS OF LIGHT EMITTING DIODES - A control system includes a clock unit for providing a first clock signal, and a second clock signal having a frequency lower than that of the first clock signal. Three control units are coupled respectively to three light emitting diodes (LED) emitting respectively three different colors. Each control unit is operable based on the clock signals and a corresponding set of first and second reference values to output a driving pulse signal to a corresponding LED such that the corresponding LED is driven by the driving pulse signal to emit light during a corresponding one of first, second and third time periods of a control cycle of the control system. | 06-24-2010 |
