A multi-antenna communication method capable of improving the retransmission performance in a multi-antenna transmission. In this method, firstly, the reception quality of a substream to be retransmitted is acquired (Step 401). Then, it is determined for the substream whether any transmission antennas, which satisfy a target value related to the foregoing reception quality when they are used for the retransmission, are existent among the transmission antennas that are candidate antennas to be used for there transmission (Step 405). Then, if there exist any transmission antennas satisfying the target value, a transmission antenna to which the poorest channel characteristic corresponds is selected from among those transmission antennas satisfying the target value, and the selected transmission antenna is designated as an antenna to be used for retransmitting the foregoing substream (Step 406). If there exist no transmission antennas that satisfy the target value, then a transmission antenna to which the best channel characteristic corresponds is selected from among the foregoing candidate transmission antennas, and the selected transmission antenna is designated as an antenna to be used for retransmitting the foregoing substream (Step 407).

Devices, systems, and methods for treating a heart of a patient may make use of one or more implant structures which limit a size of a chamber of the heart, such as by deploying a tensile member to bring a wall of the heart toward (optionally into contact with) a septum of the heart.

A simple technique of forming a low-resistant wire is provided in place of a Damascene method. In a three-layer wire composed of a first layer metal film wire, a second layer metal film wire that has fixed side etching portions, and an insulating film pattern, a low-resistant metal such as copper or silver is deposited in concave regions corresponding to the side etching portions of the second layer metal film wire through electrodeposition by electroplating. The above process is applied to a gate electrode and wire of a semiconductor device to obtain a semiconductor device that has high operation speed.

A composite filter media having excellent dust-releasing properties provided with a first layer of non-woven synthetic fibers having one outer surface hot calendered to increase smoothness and carrying a coating of a hydrophobic material which lowers surface tension and at least a second layer of non-woven synthetic fibers laminated to the downstream side of said first layer. A backing layer may be included to provide additional support to the first and second layer if desired. The second layer may include an electrostatic charge to increase filter efficiency at a reduced pressure drop across the composite media.

A query for a database is represented as a vector including multiple elements. Each element is a control, and each control has a current setting. The database is queried with the query to produce a current synopsis. The current synopsis is added to a current summary. The current synopsis and the current controls and a current summary including the current synopsis are visualized on a graphical user interface. A new setting for the controls is indicated to produce a new synopsis that when added to the current summary makes a next summary most different than the current summary. The querying, visualizing, and indicating until a termination condition is reached to generate a most interesting summary of the database.

Heterogeneous catalyst systems, methods of making these systems, and methods of using these systems, wherein catalytically active gold is deposited onto composite support media. The composite support media is formed by providing nanoporous material on at least a portion of the surfaces of carbonaceous host material. In representative embodiments, relatively fine, nanoporous guest particles are coated or otherwise provided on surfaces of relatively coarser activated carbon particles.

The present invention provides technology for controlling, or tuning, the catalytic activity of gold provided upon nanoporous supports such as those derived from nanoparticulate titania. It has been discovered that the nature of the surfaces of the nanoparticles used to support a nano-metal catalyst, such as catalytically active gold, has a profound effect upon the catalytic properties of the supported catalyst. The support surface may be altered as desired to control the activity of the gold. The present invention teaches how thermal treatment of nanoparticulate media incorporated into a nanoporous support prior to deposition of catalytically active gold dramatically suppresses the ability of a resultant catalyst system to oxidize hydrogen. Yet, the system still readily oxidizes CO.
