20080288589Method and system for scheduling of messages - Embodiments of the invention provide a scheduling process and apparatus which may include constraints which determine the amount of messaging events available in a particular category (e.g. sports, music, food content) in a particular time period, for example on a particular day (or perhaps even within smaller time periods, such as afternoon/morning slots or even hourly slots.) The amount allocated per category may vary according to the time period—so that, for example, Monday may be “Music Day”, during which the content will be predominantly music-related. By having a variation period-by-period, e.g. day-by-day (or according to other slots) over a weekly (or other) period then the recipient becomes more familiar with, and involved in, receiving the message content. Since the recipient gets to understand the periodic formatting, they will come to expect a particular type of message content at a particular time, or at least during a particular period or timing characteristic.11-20-2008

20150055581Transmit Diversity on a Control Channel without Additional Reference Signals - Disclosed is a method and an apparatus providing antenna port sharing and a demodulation reference signals (DMRS) based precoding scheme for a distributed enhanced physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) using, for example, spatial frequency block codes (SFBC)/frequency selective transmit diversity (FSTD) transmit diversity. The method exhibits the same performance as SFBC/FSTD transmit diversity using un-precoded DMRS while not prohibiting another UEs' localized E-PDCCH to be potentially multiplexed in a same physical resource block (PRB) pair. The SFBC/FSTD transmission is facilitated by mapping a subset of layers to DMRS ports used by other UEs for localized and beam formed transmission, while the precoders for the remaining layers are selected to be orthogonal to the other UEs precoders there by providing good performance while minimizing DMRS port usage. Specifically, no additional DMRS ports are needed for spatial diversity transmission02-26-2015

20080251956Embossing Device with a Deflection Compensated Roller - A diffractive microstructure is produced on the surface layer of a substrate using an embossing device. The embossing device includes an embossing roll and a backing roll for exerting an embossing pressure on the surface layer of the substrate. The embossing pressure and/or variations in temperature cause deflection of the embossing roll. To compensate for the deflection, the embossing device can set the embossing pressure exerted by the central area of the embossing roll on the surface layer of the substrate to be at least equal to or higher than the embossing pressure exerted by the end areas of the embossing roll on the surface layer of the substrate.10-16-2008
20080302255Method and a Device in Die-Cutting, and a Die-Cutting Press - A method and a device for producing a diffractive microstructured area on the surface layer of a substrate by embossing. The device includes a die-cutting press that includes a press member and a backing member and at least one die-cutting tool arranged for die-cutting the substrate placed between the press member and the backing member. The press member and/or the backing member is provided with at least embossing pattern corresponding to the microstructured area, against which pattern the substrate is pressed during the embossing, when the substrate is introduced between the press member and the backing member for the embossing. A method for converting a die-cutting press to a die-cutting and embossing device for producing a diffractive microstructured area on the surface layer of a substrate by embossing, wherein the press member and/or the backing member of the die-cutting press is provided with at least one embossing pattern corresponding to the microstructured area for embossing.12-11-2008
20090011190Product comprising a protected microstructured area, and a method and a device for producing the same - A bare diffractive microstructured area on a product is protected against wearing by one or more protruding elements. In an embodiment, the product is provided with a depression, whose bottom is further provided with a diffractive microstructured area. Thus, the rim areas of the depression form a protruding element with respect to the microstructured area. If the product is rubbed, for example, against the surface of a table, the protruding element prevents the rubbing surface from having a physical contact with the microstructured area. The microstructured area does not need to be protected with a transparent protective layer, which entails significant cost savings.01-08-2009
20090134534Device and A method for producing a diffractive microstructure - Micro-protrusions, which constitute a diffractive microstructure, are produced by embossing the surface layer of a substrate by an embossing member having microgrooves in such a way that the cross-sectional area of a produced micro-protrusion is substantially smaller than the cross-sectional area of the microgroove producing said micro-protrusion. Thus, the embossing pressure is small, the risk of adhesion is reduced, it is possible to use a low embossing temperature, and microstructures may be produced at a high speed. Furthermore, the same embossing member may be used for producing a low microstructure, a normal microstructure, and a high microstructure.05-28-2009

Receipt of an excessive number of redistributed rows by a processing module is detected thereby identifying the processing module as a hot processing module. Other processing modules then terminate redistribution of rows to the hot processing module and maintain rows of a skewed table of the join operation that would be redistributed to the hot processing module in a local spool. Rows of a smaller table that would be redistributed to the hot processing module are duplicated to each processing module involved in the join operation. Rows of tables that are to be redistributed by a processing module to any processing module excluding the hot processing module are redistributed accordingly and maintained locally by the processing module. The join operation is completed by merging results of local join data sets of each processing module.12-03-2009
