Techniques are provided to support fast frequency hopping with a code division multiplexed (CDM) pilot in a multi-carrier communication system (e.g., an OFDMA system). Each transmitter (e.g., each terminal) in the system transmits a wideband pilot on all subbands to allow a receiver (e.g., a base station) to estimate the entire channel response at the same time. The wideband pilot for each transmitter may be generated using direct sequence spread spectrum processing and based on a pseudo-random number (PN) code assigned to that transmitter. This allows the receiver to individually identify and recover multiple wideband pilots transmitted concurrently by multiple transmitters. For a time division multiplexed (TDM)/CDM pilot transmission scheme, each transmitter transmits the wideband pilot in bursts. For a continuous CDM pilot transmission scheme, each transmitter continuously transmits the wideband pilot, albeit at a low transmit power level. Any frequency hopping rate may be supported without impacting pilot overhead.

Timers of a plurality of slave units are synchronized with a timer of a master unit by a) sending a synchronization message on the first network by the master unit, which contains a time measurement of the master unit and a time scale, to the slave units; b) at each slave unit, forming the difference between a time measurement recorded in the slave unit and the time measurement received by the master unit, and correcting the current time measurement of the slave unit by this difference, and, at each unit, the recording of a time measurement upon receipt of the time scale; c) at the master unit, inserting the recorded time measurement into a subsequent synchronization message.

In an image viewer, a lot of image data files are registered in a database. In each image data file, positional data is attached to image data, indicating a camera location at which the image data is captured. An image arrangement decider gets the positional data from the image data files, and decides a lattice arrangement of registered images based on the positional data, so that the relative positions of the images in the lattice correspond to the correlations between the camera locations of these images. A control device controls a display device to display the images tightly in the decided arrangement on a screen. Information relating to the camera locations of the images, e.g. borders, place names or a map, may be retrieved based on the attached positional data from another database, and displayed in addition to the images.

The present invention provides a data recording device which specifies a file to be deleted from a memory card 11 in response to the user's file deleting manipulation to a manipulation key 8, and moves the specified file to a predetermined temporary delete folder. In recording data, the device calculates remaining capacity of recording area of the memory card 11, to judge whether a series of data to be recorded is recordable. When it is determined that the data is recordable, the data is recorded in the recording area. When it is not determined that the data is recordable, a file included in the temporary delete folder is deleted and the data is recorded in the recording area.

A method and apparatus for controlling a temperature-regulated zone utilizing a thermal balance temperature control system. The thermal balance control system is a dynamic real time control system that measures the sensible thermal load in the zone, and directly regulates the BTU output of the HVAC package to balance such output with the measured sensible thermal load.

An audio power conversion system includes a power supply having a positive supply rail and a negative supply rail for supplying power to a single ended class D amplifier. The system further includes a supply pump reduction circuit connected to the supply rails and adapted to redistribute a pumping charge from said power supply by forcing a current-flow from a rail with a higher voltage to a rail with a lower voltage. According to the at least one embodiment of the invention, the redistribution circuit is arranges to always distribute charge from the rail with the higher voltage. Thus, for practical circuits, the pump canceling occurs continuously and is not confined to every other cycle.

A method and an apparatus for controlling the hybrid drive of a motor vehicle having the following components: internal combustion engine (VKM), manual transmission (SG), at least one electrical machine (Em_i), at least one clutch (K_j) and an energy storage device (ES), and at least one driven axle (HA; VA) are intended to provide maximum efficiency and service life of the components.

The present invention aims for efficient use of storage capacity in a storage system by reducing the amount of time taken for processing including removing redundancy and data compression executed with respect to transferred data.

Focusing on data patterns included in transferred data, the most suitable pattern is detected, and de-duplication processing is gradually executed. Data compression is then executed with data after de-duplication as a target. Determination of the decision for execution of gradual de-duplication processing, or execution of compression processing is made depending on the amount of data remaining at each processing stage and the system load.

Said aim is achieved by installing the bypass system in such a way that the capacity of pre-existing system filters such as the main exhaust gas filter and/or the cooler exhaust filter can also be used for treating the bypass gas flow.

An image data coding device and the like capable of improving the compression ratio of entropy coding of color image data is disclosed. The image data coding device converts input color image data into color image data whose color is expressed by color data and brightness data each represented by multiple bits. Setting a value of color data that corresponds to an achromatic color at 00h as one example, the image data coding device converts the color data of the color image data into color data whose values are assigned in such a manner that the differences between these values and the value of the achromatic color data become larger as the distances away from the value of the achromatic color become larger. The image data coding device then performs entropy coding on the color image data.

When test recording is executed in a multilayered recordable optical recording medium having N recording layers (N is an integer of 2 or more), a test recording range in a test recording area of an (m+1)^th recording layer is shifted relative to a test recording range in a test recording area of an m^th recording layer by an amount greater than a difference of decentration amounts between the m^th and the (m+1)^th recording layers or a maximum decentration amount in the N recording layers. The shifting direction is inverse to a test recording range adding direction in a radius direction of the recording medium.
