Abstract:
A shotgun magazine carrier for a competition shotgun to be attached to a competition belt or tactical belt. The carrier will fully attach to the magazine, so much so that it will remain on the magazine as it is installed onto the shotgun. The magazine will be configured such that it will remain in place as the competitor moves around the course whether in the mounted belt position or on the shotgun itself. The carrier consists of two parts, which can be made of metal or plastic, held together around the magazine with one or more fasteners. One of the two metal parts will be bent at a ninety-degree angle, in a clip shape, in order to fit directly over the competition or tactical belt securely next to the body of the user. The carrier will remain securely in place when in movement and during loading of the magazine.

Embodiments described herein provide cases for mobile electronic devices. The cases may include a body configured to be selectively secured to a mobile electronic device having at least one sensor proximate to an outer surface thereof and a cover slidably coupled to the body. The cover is slidable between a first position and a second position relative to the body such that when the cover is in the first position, the at least one sensor is blocked by the cover and when the cover is in the second position, the at least one sensor is not blocked by the cover.
Abstract:
In order to determine whether a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) indicator received by user equipment (UE) from a base station is an acknowledgment (ACK) or negative acknowledgement (NACK), when a signal representing the HARQ indicator is received by the UE, a plurality of symbols encoded in the received signal are determined to obtain a softbit for each of the symbols by summing an in-phase component and a quadrature component of each symbol. Thereafter, the softbits are summed up to be compared with the amplitude of the symbols to determine whether the HARQ indicator is an ACK or NACK.
Abstract:
In the case of a narrow band in which the number of sub-carriers to be used for the concurrent transmission is smaller than a predetermined value, an RSRP estimation unit carries out processes in an order of time-wise in-phase addition, frequency-wise averaging, and conjugate multiplication, with respect to the channel estimation values estimated by the channel estimation unit; and in the case of a wide band in which the number of sub-carriers to be used for the concurrent transmission is greater than the predetermined value, the RSRP estimation unit carries out processes in an order of frequency-wise averaging, conjugate multiplication, and time-wise in-phase addition, with respect to the channel estimation values estimated by the channel estimation unit.
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for transmitting a signal to a plurality of slave devices (e.g., memory devices, etc.) via a communication circuit having a plurality of segments that are substantially equal in length and/or impedance. Specifically, according to one embodiment of the invention, an electronic system includes a processor, a plurality of memory devices, and a communication circuit (i.e., a bus) having a central node and a plurality of segments. Specifically, the plurality of segments are used to connect the plurality of devices (e.g., the processor, the plurality of memory devices) to the central node. For example, the processor is connected to the central node via a primary segment, the first memory device (M0) is connected to the central node via a first segment, etc. In one embodiment of the invention, the plurality of segments are substantially equal in length. In other words, the central node is substantially electrically-equidistant from each memory device. In another embodiment of the invention, the plurality of segments have substantially equal impedances. By arranging the plurality of memory devices in this manner (e.g., substantially electrically-equidistant from the central node, etc.), a well behaved signal can be received at each memory device.

A kit for decorating a toothbrush includes the toothbrush having a base portion, and at least one decorative band sized to fit around the outer perimeter of the base portion of the toothbrush. A second embodiment of the kit includes the toothbrush, a writing instrument and an area designated on the base portion for marking with the writing instrument. A third embodiment of the kit includes the toothbrush, a writing instrument, an area designated on the base portion for marking with the writing implement and at least one decorative band sized to fit around the outer perimeter of the base portion of the toothbrush. Any of the kits may include at least one sticker sized to fit on the base portion of the toothbrush. Any of the kits may also include a panel including one or more stickers and/or one or more decorative bands.
Abstract:
A combination toothbrush, floss dispenser and tongue scraper apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises an elongated member having a first end with a brush head and having an opposite second end with a tongue scraper and having an inner cavity with a floss dispenser disposed within the member between the brush head and the tongue scraper. A lid is hinged at a substantially central section of the elongated member for enclosing or providing access to the inner cavity by movement between open and closed positions relative to the inner cavity.
Abstract:
A MIMO system with Diversity processing is provided having Turbo Codes Decoders for computing orthogonal signals from multiple separate antennas. The invention decodes multipath signals that have arrived at the terminal via different routes after being reflected from buildings, trees or hills. The Turbo Codes Decoder with Diversity processing increases the signal to noise ratio (SNR) more than 6 dB which enables the Wireless system to deliver data rates from up to 200 Mbit/s. The invention provides several improved Turbo Codes Decoder methods and devices that provide a more suitable, practical and simpler method for implementation a Turbo Codes Decoder in ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) or DSP codes. A Turbo Codes Decoder block is provided to compute baseband signals from multiple different receiver paths. Several pipelined max-Log-MAP decoders are used for iterative decoding of received data. A Sliding Window of Block N data is used for pipeline operations. In a pipeline mode, a first decoder A decodes block N data from a first source, while a second decoder B decodes block N data from a second source during the same clock cycle. Pipelined max-Log-MAP decoders provide high speed data throughput and one output per clock cycle.

The invention decodes multipath signals that have arrived at the terminal via different routes after being reflected from buildings, trees or hills. The Turbo Codes Decoder with Diversity processing increases the signal to noise ratio (SNR) more than 6 dB which enables the 3rd Generation Wireless system to deliver data rates from up to 2 Mbit/s. The invention provides several improved Turbo Codes Decoder methods and devices that provide a more suitable, practical and simpler method for implementation a Turbo Codes Decoder in ASIC or DSP codes. A plurality of parallel Turbo Codes Decoder blocks are provided to compute soft-decoded data RXDa, RXDb from two different receiver path. Several pipelined Log-MAP decoders are used for iterative decoding of received data. A Sliding Window of Block N data is used on the inputted data for pipeline operations. In a pipeline mode, a first decoder A decodes block N data from a first source, while a second decoder B decodes block N data from a second source during the same clock cycle.
