In a memory module including a plurality of DRAM chips which transmit/receive a system data signal with a predetermined data width and at a transfer rate and which transmit/receive an internal data signal having a larger data width and a lower transfer rate as compared with the system data signal, it has become clear that there is a restriction on the transfer rate of the system data signal and that speeding-up cannot be expected. A current consumption in a plurality of DRAMs constituting the memory module is large, and this is also a factor for hindering the speeding-up. There is obtained a memory module in which a plurality of DRAM chips are stacked on an IO chip and in which each DRAM chip is connected to the IO chip by a through electrode and which comprises a constitution for mutually converting the system data signal and the internal data signal in each DRAM chip by the IO chip. In this constitution, a wiring between the DRAM chips can be shortened, and DLL having a large current consumption may be disposed only on the IO chip.

A system, method, and software are provided for measuring co-channel interference in a wireless network with particular application for management of resource allocation for Non Line of Sight (NLOS) wireless backhaul in MicroCell and PicoCell networks. Given the difficulty of predicting the mutual interference between multiple links, DownLink and UpLink co-channel interference are characterized between each Hub and each Remote Backhaul Module Unit periodically during active service. Beneficially, the co-channel interference metrics are used as the basis for intelligently and adaptively managing network resources to substantially reduce interference and increase the aggregate data capacity of the network e.g. by grouping of interfering and/or non-interfering links, and managing resource block allocations accordingly, i.e. assigning common resource blocks preferentially to weakly interfering links or groups of links and allocating different resource blocks or orthogonal channels to strongly interfering links or groups of links.

Disclosed are systems and methods which provide high bandwidth data communication with respect to a large coverage area using smart antenna and/or directional antenna (referred to herein as multi-beam antenna) technology. Circuitry may be provided at a WLAN AP to provide selection of particular antenna beams used in the downlink and/or uplink, control of multicast transmission, control of unicast transmission, and to provide antenna pattern shaping techniques. Embodiments implement multi-beam antenna technology with little or no hardware modifications to AP circuitry. Other embodiments implement multi-beam technology using radio front-end and/or radio hardware modifications to AP circuitry. Various diversity techniques may be implemented, such as selection diversity, maximum ratio combining, and equal gain combing. To provide desired antenna pattern shaping, phase offsets with respect to a signal as transmitted in each antenna beam may be employed.

A quality of service profile for a mobile communication subscriber unit is determined and includes one or more mobile-specific desired quality of service parameters. Actual values for the service parameter(s) is(are) determined and fed back to a link quality controller to determine whether they are in an acceptable range or relationship with corresponding actual quality of service parameter values. A modulation and/or coding scheme for transmitting the information over the radio link is selected or adjusted based on whether the desired and actual quality of service parameters are in an acceptable range or acceptable relationship. A combined “desired” quality of service parameter using the first and second quality of service parameters (or more if desired) may be determined. A combined “actual” quality of service parameter using first and second actual quality service parameter values is determined. Those combined desired and actual quality of service parameters are compared to determine whether they are in an acceptable range or relationship. The modulation or coding scheme (or both) is (are) selected or adjusted based thereon.

A radio base station includes multiple antennas associated with a cell. Multiple mobile radios are selected to receive transmissions over a shared radio channel during a predetermined time interval. Information is transmitted over the shared radio channel to multiple mobile radios in the cell during the predetermined time interval using multiple antenna beams. As a result, interference from the transmission appears as white additive Gaussian noise in time and in space in the cell. A “flashlight effect” caused by a single beam transmission over the shared channel during a predetermined time interval that would normally detrimentally impact mobile channel quality detection is avoided. Other methods for avoiding the flashlight effect are described.

In a medical digital X-ray imaging apparatus having a plurality of imaging modes including computed tomography mode, a supporter supports an X-ray source and a digital X-ray sensor having a two-dimensional detection plane for detecting X-rays, while interposing an object between them. An image reconstructor acquires data from the digital X-ray sensor and reconstructs an image based on the acquired data. An operator selects one of a first imaging mode and a second imaging mode. The second imaging mode has an irradiation field different from the first imaging mode and has an area to be read in the digital X-ray sensor smaller than that in the first imaging mode.

The present disclosure relates to signal processing such as digital watermarking and data hiding. A sparse or dense digital watermark signal can be conveyed with a narrow-band absorption material corresponding to a center wavelength of a Point of Sale (POS) barcode scanner. The POS barcode scanner typically captures 2D imagery. Since the narrow-band absorption material absorbs over a narrow-band it is relatively imperceptible to the Human Visual System (HVS) but can be seen by the POS scanner.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, improved capabilities are described for a sensor platform in a wireless network, where optimization servers utilizing publish-subscribe broker services are provided within the wireless network to provide conferenced connectivity between sensor devices and communicating entities.

A method for encoding and decoding color barcodes to increase their data capacity. The encoding steps include determining a shape, a foreground color and a background color for each data cell, wherein a combination of the shape, foreground and background colors for the data cell is chosen from a plurality of such combinations in accordance with a value of the digital data to be encoded; and coloring some pixels in the data cell with a foreground color and other pixels with a background color, in accordance with the shape, foreground and background colors for the data cell determined above. The decoding steps include segmenting the data cells, recognizing a shape, a foreground color of the shape and a background color of the data cell, and obtaining digital data from a combination of the shape and foreground and background colors in each data cell.

The invention provides a method of monitoring an aircraft state through an ACARS (Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System) data chain. An aircraft state monitoring application module is arranged in a communication management unit (CMU) in a software form under a system structure of using the CMU as an onboard ACARS data chain application terminal. The aircraft state monitoring application module sequentially executes the following four operations of aircraft information processing, message encapsulating, data compressing and information encoding so as to generate an aircraft state monitoring report. A data chain application module provides application services such as airline operational communication (AOC), aeronautical administrative communication (AAC) and air traffic service (ATS), and the data chain application module can manually and automatically generate an application report. An ACARS protocol module encapsulates the application report from the data chain application module and the aircraft state monitoring report from the aircraft state monitoring application module to ACARS messages and sends the ACARS messages to a communication subnet interface module. The communication subnet interface module of the communication management unit is connected with a plurality of very-high-frequency VDRs (Video Disk Recorder), satellite data units (SDU) and a plurality of short-wave HFDRs. By means of the method, a ground terminal can recover the flight process of an aircraft according to the received aircraft state monitoring report so as to monitor the aircraft state and remotely diagnose failures.
