Abstract:
A method for providing uplink spatial division multiple access (SDMA) transmission opportunities (TXOP) is described. A demarcation indication may be sent to one or more subscriber stations. An SDMA contention window may be started. An allocation indication may be received. Requested uplink SDMA TXOP resources may be allocated according to the allocation indication.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described for processing information at a device operating in a wireless communication system. Techniques for in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) calibration, interference cancellation, channel estimation, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and rank metric calculation are provided herein. As provided herein, one or more of the described techniques can be used to adjust the performance of a wireless station in the presence of impairments to the wireless station and/or a communication link used by the wireless station.
Abstract:
A stencil printer apparatus for depositing a solder paste onto the surface of the electronic substrate, comprising a frame, a stencil coupled to the frame, the stencil having a plurality of apertures, a dispenser coupled to the frame, the stencil and the dispenser being configured to deposit the solder paste onto the electronic substrate, an imaging system (121) constructed and arranged to capture an image of the electronic substrate, and a controller coupled to the imaging- system and configured to control movement of the imaging system to capture the image. The imaging system (121) comprises a camera element (201, 203) configured to capture the image of at least the portion of the surface of the electronic substrate (111), and a first illumination element (209) comprising a long-wavelength light source configured to illuminate at least the portion of the surface of the electronic substrate by generating long-wavelength light. Other embodiments and methods are disclosed.

Abstract:
A packet detector joint detects 802.11a packets, 802.11b packets and interference that is within a monitored frequency range but is not formatted as 802.11a packets or 802.11b packets. The packet detector can use signals from one or more antennas. Detection of signals is done using differentially detected correlations. In addition to packet detection, the packet detector can identify signal levels, noise levels and locations of narrowband interference. The process of packet detection and identifying other indicators can be done simultaneously and as the signal is being received.
