20120021447 | ANALYTICAL ROTORS AND METHODS FOR ANALYSIS OF BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS - Devices for generating discrete flow of liquids in response to a driving force, for example centrifugal microfluidic devices for generating discrete flow in response to a constant driving force. The device includes a supply structure for supplying liquid at an inflow rate to a discretization structure in response to a driving force. The discretization structure is shaped to define an outlet and a level to which the discretization structure fills with liquid flowing from the supply structure before dispensing the liquid at an outflow rate through the outlet in response to the driving force. The device is arranged such that the outflow rate from the discretization structure is greater than the inflow rate into the discretization structure, thereby periodically emptying the discretization structure to create a discretized flow from the outlet. The devices find applications in liquid mixing, for example for diluting samples, such as blood plasma samples. | 01-26-2012 |

20110090972 | BLIND SLM AND PTS METHOD WITH LOW DECODING COMPLEXITY OF OFDM SIGNALS - Disclosed is a BSLM method of generating U independent alternative symbol sequences by changing a phase of symbol sequences by phase sequences and transmitting the alternative symbol sequences with a PAPR to lower the PARR of a transmission signal of a transmitter in an OFDM system. The transmitter uses m-sequences as the phase sequence and a receiver uses an ML decoder to distinguish the phase sequence. The BSLM method includes rotating phases in blocks according to the m-sequences used in the respective symbol sequences, selecting a signal sequence with a minimum PAPR among U alternative signal sequences generated by the m-sequences in the transmitter, and partitioning U alternative symbol sequences into U/2 blocks in the transmitter. Block partitioning and predetermined phase rotation are used to embed side information in an alternative signal sequence, and the BSLM scheme may be extended to a BPTS. Since low decoding complexity is given while detecting side information, the same BER performance is obtained as that of the conventional BSLM scheme in the AWGN channel. | 04-21-2011 |
