At the same time pores are generated due to volume reduction reaction, thereby allows obtaining a silicon carbide-based porous structure material with a great relative surface area. Furthermore, excess carbon is removed from the fabricated silicon carbide-based porous structure material, and impregnated with a solution which becomes an oxide ceramic coating upon firing, whereby oxidization resistance is excellent and relative surface area is markedly improved.

A valve for downhole use has the ability to throttle between fully open and closed and is fully variable in positions in between. The valve is preferably responsive to flowing fluid viscosity and uses a three dimensional flow through restrictor in combination with a relatively movable cover. At a given flow, a higher viscosity fluid will create a greater relative movement and make it possible for flowing fluid to bypass more of the flow through member. In a particular application involving production from a zone, an array of such valves can allow more production where the viscosity is higher and less production where the viscosity drops due to, for example, water production.

The invention relates to a wireless communication system, which discloses a multi-antenna system and a data transmitting method. In the invention, the plural phase sequence in the MIMO precoding system of CDD is improved, to cause the phase shift in the whole system bandwidth equal to CDD, meanwhile the variable step of the plural phase sequence is set to be equal to the corresponding sub-carrier of the precoding feedback bandwidth, thereby keeping higher precoding performance when the feedback bandwidth is greater relative to the whole frequency band ratio. The virtual cycle time delay can be changed along the time, thereby obtaining the diversity effect on the time. When the channel frequency has small selectivity, the virtual cycle time delay makes the minimum to obtain the dispatching gain.

Structures and methods of making a flip chip package that employ polyimide pads of varying heights at a radial distance from a center of an integrated circuit (IC) chip for a flip chip package. The polyimide pads may be formed under electrical connectors, which connect the IC chip to a chip carrier of the flip chip package, so that electrical connectors formed on polyimide pads of greater height are disposed at a greater radial distance from the center of the IC chip, while electrical connectors formed on polyimide pads of a lesser height are disposed more proximately to the center of the IC chip. Electrical connectors of a greater relative height to the IC chip's surface may compensate for a gap, produced by heat-induced warpage during the making of the flip chip package, that separates the electrical connectors on the IC chip from flip chip attaches on the chip carrier.

A propeller system combines innovative strategies to create a new methodology to reduce propeller or rotor noise. The propeller is specifically aimed for ultra-quiet electrically powered aircraft for use in high proximity aviation, but its low-noise advantages will extend to other purposes. The propeller blade includes geometries, along with size and operational limitations that minimize rotational and vortex noise, vibration and span-wise air flow on the blade. To further reduce noise, the propeller provides greater relative thrust on the inboard portions of the blade than do conventional propellers and provides less than conventional relative thrust including negative thrust at the outermost portions of the blade. The propeller blade includes stepped changes in shape at calculated intervals that can reduce resonant blade vibrations and their resultant noise. This ultra-quiet propeller design can also be used for quieting hovercraft, drones, surveillance aircraft, indoor fans, wind tunnels and other applications.

Attributes of a data set to be employed in generating a predictive model are analyzed based on entropy, chi-square, or similar statistical measure. A target group of samples exhibiting one or more desired attributes is identified, then remaining attribute values for the target group are compared to corresponding attribute values for the whole sample population. A subset of all available attributes is then selected from those attributes which exhibit, when comparing attribute values of target group samples to attribute values for the whole sample population, the greatest relative difference or divergence. This subset is employed to generate the predictive model. Efficiency in generating the predictive model and the accuracy of the resulting predictive model is improved, since fewer attributes are employed and less computational resources are required.

A novel backplane routing and configuration (200) supports a full mesh architecture. In this novel configuration, a circuit pack determines which backplane signals to use for a transmission based on the relative distance across the backplane between the board sending the communication and the board receiving the communication. Boards sending the same relative distance use the same rows of signals (204). That is, each row associated with the meshed interconnection is assigned a relative shift or distance for a connection. The rows (204) that represent a greater relative distance for shift between boards are intermixed next to rows (204) that have a relatively short distance between shifts or boards. In this manner, the number of layers required is minimized and the utilization of routing channels is optimized. In particular, for a N slot backplane with one routing channel between rows, (N / 2+1) layers are required, rather than N layers. And, vertical routing is not required.
