20090009394METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING DIRECTIONS-OF-ARRIVAL IN LOW POWER OR LOW SAMPLE SIZE SCENARIOS - The present invention relates to a method and a system for determining the direction of arrival of one or multiple radio or acoustic waves and, more particularly, to such a method and system especially advantageous in situations where the number of available observations is small and/or the available observations are received with low power. The method significantly improves the performance of traditional subspace signal processing algorithms in the low sample size regime. The algorithm is specifically designed to provide consistent estimates even when the observation dimension has the same order of magnitude as the number of observations. This guarantees a good behaviour in finite sample size situations, where the number of sensors or antennae and the number of samples have the same order of magnitude or in scenarios where the received signal power is not sufficiently high to guarantee detection via conventional one-dimensional search methods.01-08-2009

20100193376ELECTRODES SELECTIVE FOR SOLID-CONTACT IONS BASED ON CARBON NANOTUBES - The invention defines an all-solid-contact ISE which comprises a transducer layer of carbon nanotubes which brings the sensing layer and conducting element into contact. The invention also defines a method for the preparation of said all-solid-contact ISE and the use of the same for the qualitative, quantitative or semi-quantitative analysis of analytes. Said all-solid-contact ISE makes it possible to detect or quantify highly diverse chemical species in a reliable and reproducible manner, with the added advantages derived from its simplicity and low construction cost.08-05-2010
