Apparatus for the automatic packaging of one or more articles. One or more modular infeed systems are provided, each adapted to feed product to a wrapping machine, and each preferably adapted to communicate with a wrapping machine to identify its configuration to the wrapping machine. In a preferred embodiment, each modular infeed includes a film roll unwind assembly, an integrated film folding head, a product conveyance mechanism and a closed-loop communications network.

A mobile communication apparatus with multiple transmission and reception antennas and a mobile communication method therefor are provided. In the mobile communication apparatus including a base station and a mobile station, the base station with at least one transmission antenna restores long-term information, short-term information, a signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) from a feedback signal received from the mobile station, spatially processes dedicated physical channel (DPCH) signals using basis information generated from the restored long-term information, short-term information and SINR and transmits the results of adding pilot channel (PICH) signals to the spatially processed results to the mobile station. The mobile station with at least one reception antenna determines a first characteristic corresponding to the channel downlink characteristic for each of the transmission and reception antennas, from the PICH signals transmitted from the base station, determines the long-term information, the short-term information, and downlink power control information including the SINR, which reflect the first characteristic, converts the determined long-term information, short-term information, and downlink power control information into the feedback signal, and transmits the feedback signal to the base station. The long-term information includes effective long-term eigenvectors and effective long-term eigenvalues, the short-term information includes effective short-term eigenvectors, and the downlink power control information indicates whether to increase or decrease downlink transmission power. Therefore, with the great advantage of closed communications systems the effects of interference, noise, and fading can be minimized, whereas throughput can be maximized.

A design-to-ship enabled shipping device in a commercial printing environment and method for managing workflow for use with the same. The present invention provides a method, program product and system for managing workflow in a commercial printing environment including a designer location and a print service provider location, where the method comprises establishing a closed-loop communication link between the designer location and the print service provider location, creating a press ready file at the designer location using updated device configuration information received from the print service provider location via the closed-loop communication link, submitting the press ready file to the print service provider location via the closed-loop communication link, and receiving a printed output of the press ready file and shipping the printed output using an automated shipping device.

A method of regulating power for multi-node computer system components has a closed-ring path that links all the power governors and circulating in the ring is a system power number that represents the power consumption of the entire system. Meanwhile, all the governors keep counting its local power consumption. Each time the number passes a governor, the governor will add its local count onto this number, store this number for future usage, and reset its local count. When the new number returns back to the same power governor, the governor will subtract the new number with its stored number to calculate the overall system power usage within a number circulation period. The system power number overflow problem is also detected with a counter if the incoming number is smaller then the number previously stored. The counter whose counting capacity is greater than the maximum system power usage on all the nodes within a number circulation period. A single number transfer mode and multiple number transfer mode and heterogeneous multi-node components which could have different power usage configurations are employed.

A wireless communication apparatus in a closed loop communication wherein a channel resource can be shared among users and hence the capacity of the communication system can be increased. In this apparatus, calculating parts (6031 and 6032) calculate a first pre-code (α) and a second pre-code (β), respectively, from CSI fed back from a receiving wireless communication apparatus; an encoding part (6033) includes multipliers (α1, α2), which multiply the first pre-code (α) by a first data and a second data to generate a first encoded data and a third encoded data, respectively, and also includes multipliers (β1, β2) that multiply the second pre-code (β) by the first data and the second data to generate a second encoded data and a fourth encoded data, respectively; spreading parts (6034-1 and 6034-2) spread the first and second encoded data with a first spreading code (c) to generate a first spread data and a second spread data, respectively; spreading parts (6035-1 and 6035-2) spread the third and fourth encoded data with a second spreading code (p) to generate a third spread data and a fourth spread data, respectively; an adding part (6036) adds the first spread data and the third spread data together; and an adding part (6037) adds the second spread data and the fourth spread data together.
