...that in the early 1940s GE engineer James Wright was charged with a task of utmost importance to the war effort: develop a cheap substitute for rubber that could be used to produce tires, gas masks and a whole host of military gear. Wright tackled the task diligently -- and wound up inventing Silly Putty.

| Application No. | Application Title | Issue Date |
| 20110222590 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PILOT TONE ASSISTED SELECTED MAPPING A method is provided for communicating a data value and pilot tone within the same communication sub-carrier of a communication channel. A first reference phase corresponding to a first data value is selected. A pilot tone having the first reference phase is generated. ... | 09/15/2011 |
| 20100322352 | SPHERE DETECTOR PERFORMING DEPTH-FIRST SEARCH UNTIL TERMINATED Systems and methods detect a communication received at receiving antennas from transmitting antennas. Each transmitting antenna transmits a symbol in a constellation. A sphere detector performs a depth-first search until the depth-first search terminates in response to ... | 12/23/2010 |
| 20100272195 | PEAK-TO-AVERAGE POWER RATIO REDUCTION WITH BOUNDED ERROR VECTOR MAGNITUDE Method and apparatus for signal processing to minimize the peak to average power ratio of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (“OFDM”) or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (“OFDMA”) signal with bounded error vector magnitude for an integrat... | 10/28/2010 |
| 20100052780 | METHOD OF AND CIRCUIT FOR REDUCING DISTORTION IN A POWER AMPLIFIER An integrated circuit having a circuit for reducing distortion in a power amplifier is disclosed. The integrated circuit comprises a predistortion circuit coupled to receive a signal to be amplified; sample capture buffers coupled to an output of the predistortion circu... | 03/04/2010 |
| 20100040177 | MIMO Symbol Detection for SNR Higher and Lower than a Threshold A system detects symbols communicated from multiple transmitting antennas to multiple receiving antennas. A first detector determines the symbols from respective partial distances of potential choices for symbols from a constellation. A second detector determines the sy... | 02/18/2010 |
| 20100008451 | Symbol Detection in a MIMO Communication System Circuits are provided for detecting symbols transmitted from multiple transmitting antennas to multiple receiving antennas. A circuit includes distance blocks, selectors, and an identifier block. Each distance-block includes at least one sub-block, and each sub-block in... | 01/14/2010 |
| 20100007565 | Detecting In-Phase and Quadrature-Phase Amplitudes of MIMO Communications Circuits detect communications from multiple transmitting antennas to multiple receiving antennas. A respective first block for each non-initial transmitting antenna determines partial distances for pairings of a first candidate and a quadrature-phase amplitude. A respe... | 01/14/2010 |
