Disclosed is a low bend loss optical fiber including: a core; an inner layer disposed at outside of the core, which has a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the core, the refractive index of the inner layer gradually decreasing as it becomes farther from the core; and a trench layer disposed at outside of the inner layer, which has a lowest refractive index.

The power of DC electrical sources is combined onto a DC buss, such that each source behaves independently from any other source attached to the buss. In one embodiment, a converter module is attached to each of a plurality of solar photovoltaic panels and its output is attached in a parallel manner to a common buss that forms the input to a DC AC inverter. The converter module includes a Maximum Power Point Tracking component that matches the output impedance of the panels to the input impedance of the converter module. The converter also includes a communication component that provides parametric data and identification to a central inverter. Data generated by each converter module is transmitted over the power line or by wireless means and is collected at the inverter and forwarded to a data collection and reporting system.

A solution for a tower (10) that may be substantially tall, characterized by the appearance of a monopole, the capacity to support large objects and consequently sustain great lateral loads generated by wind or earthquake, the facility to conceal vertical access ladder and all other installations, such as antenna feeder cables, and the availability at an acceptable cost level. The heart of the invention is the basic concept of separation between the structurally functioning elements, which are kept concealed, and a non-structural shell (12) which provides the tower (10) the shape of a monopole. The tower (10) comprises, therefore, a tall metal lattice structure (14) having a central vertical axis (1) and certain apparatus for its anchoring to a foundation, concealed within a shell (12) concentric with said central vertical axis (1) and further characterized, at any given level, by a closed cross-section which is either circular or equi-sided polygonal, said shell (12) being internally secured to and supported by said lattice metal structure (14) in an appropriate density throughout its area, so as to maintain its shape when subjected to wind loads or any other likely loads.

The second buffer portion provides a second base portion which provides a mounting surface outside to a measurement target, and a second outer wall provided on a peripheral edge of the second base portion. The buffer body provides the first base portion and a top surface of the second outer wall abutting against each other. A housing portion for the sensor portion is provided inside. A holding portion which holds the sensor portion is provided at least at a part of the top surface of at least one of the first buffer portion and the second buffer portion. The sensor portion is held by the holding portion.

A putter or other golf club grip has rigid vibration transmitting protrusions either attached to the club shaft or in intimate contact with both the shaft and the golfer's hands, areas between said protrusions optionally being filled with conventional grip materials. The grip may be placed over existing club shafts like conventional slip-on or wrap-on grips or become an extension thereof. The grips may be attached and weighted in such a manner to further enhance desirable impact vibrational feedback to a golfer's hands further improving a golfer's distance control while reducing off center hits and the resulting distance and directional loss.

A transmission system omits blanking signals from vertical and horizontal synchronizing signals for video data while securing synchronized transmission between a transmission side and a reception side. To achieve this, the transmission system transmits first synchronizing data (HV) for identifying vertical synchronization, second synchronizing data (HDp) for identifying and synchronizing an effective video line, pixel data for the effective video line, a required digital audio signal, and auxiliary control data. The transmission system can reduce a transmission capacity, optimize a transmission format for optical wireless transmission, and decrease a transmission speed.

Apparatus and method for measuring the fluorescence of nanodrop liquid samples is described in which the sample is held by surface tension between two anvil surfaces. Each anvil surface has an embedded optical fiber with its end finished flush with the surface in the containment area wetted by the sample with the fiber in line. Sample excitation is provided from the side of the sample remote from the containment area. By selection of the fiber transmission numeric aperture the impact of exciting and ambient light on the measurement is minimized. A method of virtual filtering is taught in which any ambient or exciting light that does impinge on the measuring sensor is corrected by subtracting a scaled representation of the source from the measurement. The method and apparatus is capable of detecting 1 femptomole of sodium fluorescein in 1 microliter of TE buffer.

A hybrid body mount assembly is provided to mount automotive parts to a vehicle chassis. The body mount assembly is fabricated in a two-piece configuration with disparate elastomeric materials used for the upper and lower members. The hybrid material configuration both enhances noise transmission reduction and minimizes vehicle vibration. The upper body mount member is formed from micro cellular urethane to minimize noise transmission through the body mount assembly, while the lower mount member is fabricated from butyl rubber to minimize the transmission of vehicle vibrations. The hybrid material assembly achieves a 50% increase in damping without detrimentally affecting the transmission of noise.

To support a forward error correction scheme, in which a code of the forward error correction scheme is employed at a transmitting end for encoding data for a transmission to a receiving end, the transmitting end compresses at least one binary parity check matrix associated to the employed code of the forward error correction scheme. The transmitting end then provides the compressed binary parity check matrix for a transmission to the receiving end. The receiving end receives the compressed binary parity check matrix and decompresses it for use in a forward error correction based on encoded data received from the transmitting end.

A method and apparatus for detecting contention in an RA procedure in a mobile communication system is provided in which an L2 / L3 message is received from a UE in uplink resources allocated to the UE by an RA preamble response message that was transmitted for an RA procedure initiated by the UE, a CR message associated the RA procedure is transmitted to the UE, if the L2 / L3 message is an initial access message, and predetermined control information is transmitted to the UE on a downlink control channel without transmitting the CR message, if the L2 / L3 message is not an initial access message.

A Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) method performed in a receiver of a mobile communication system. The HARQ method includes receiving from a transmitter an initial transmission subpacket among a plurality of subpackets; sending a request for transmission of a retransmission subpacket to the transmitter upon failure to decode the initial transmission subpacket; receiving the retransmission subpacket using control information previously received from the transmitter upon failure to receive, from the transmitter, control information for reception of the retransmission subpacket; and receiving the retransmission subpacket using currently received control information upon receipt of the control information from the transmitter.

An anisotropic vibration isolation mounting assembly includes at least two three-parameter vibration isolators each having a first end configured for attachment to a rotating member assembly or a rotating member assembly housing and each having a second, opposing end configured for attachment to the rotating member assembly housing where the first end is configured for attachment to the rotating member assembly or to a system interface member where the first member is configured for attachment to the rotating member assembly housing. The at least two three-parameter vibration isolators are tuned anisotropically to minimize the transmission of vibrations during operation of the rotating machine.
