Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080279307Very High Data Rate Communications System - A method of communicating data in which the data is transmitted using a star 8-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation scheme. In one embodiment of the invention, the data is encoded with a systematic trellis code in which the systematic bit corresponds to the amplitude of the transmitted signal. In another embodiment of the invention, the data is encoded using a Reed-Solomon coding without convolutional coding nor trellis coding.11-13-2008

20120069868RECEIVER FOR USE IN AN ULTRA-WIDEBAND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - In an ultra-wideband (“UWB”) receiver, a received UWB signal is periodically digitized as a series of ternary samples. The samples are continuously correlated with a predetermined preamble sequence to develop a correlation value. When the value exceeds a predetermined threshold, indicating that the preamble sequence is being received, estimates of the channel impulse response (“CIR”) are developed. When a start-of-frame delimiter (“SFD”) is detected, the best CIR estimate is provided to a channel matched filter (“CMF”) substantially to filter channel-injected noise.03-22-2012

20090119080Computational simulation systems and methods using boundary integral equations - A system, method, and computer-readable medium including instructions for predicting a characteristic of an object is described. The system includes an object model comprising a thin crack geometry representation of at least a portion of the object; a boundary condition model of a predetermined process applicable to the object (FIG. 05-07-2009

20110245460SOLVENT RESISTANT DIAFILTRATION OF PEPTIDES, PNA OR OLIGONUCLEOTIDES - According to the present invention, there is provided a process for the preparation of a first compound selected from peptides, oligonucleotides and peptide nucleic acids. The process comprises synthesising the first compound and then separating the first compound formed in step (i) from a second compound, which is a reaction by-product of the synthesis of the first compound and/or an excess of a reagent used for the synthesis of a first compound by a process of diafiltration. The membrane used for the diafiltration process is stable in organic solvents and provides a rejection for the first compound which is greater than the rejection for the second compound.10-06-2011
