in Film
Clint Howard, actor, has a career spanning over fifty years,and over two hundred film and TV shows. He has spent his entire life entertaining us in a variety of interesting and unique roles. From childhood roles in The Andy Griffith Show and Star Trek to of course, the hit TV Show Gentle Ben, Clint was a well recognized personality by the time he was ten.Making the transition from juvenile to adult actor was no problem for Clint. Cult classic Rock N Roll High School and horror genre Evilspeak showed as an adult he could be versatile and affective. Whether Clint works in comedy classics like Waterboy, the Austin Powers film series or a hilarious episode of Seinfeld, he comfortably slides into dramatic roles such as Apollo 13, Frost/Nixon and Alabama Moon. Recently, Clint can be seen in the campy, B Horror title, Bloodrayne Third Reich and Rob Zombie's Lords of Salem. He's also put on the producing hat, teaming with long time colleague Gavin Grazer on an indie comedy.

He continues to live with his wife Melanie in Burbank and stay active in the community.

PC Magazine reviews Apple\'s updated .Mac services
Apple has updated its .Mac suite of online tools, and PC Magazine has covered the pros and cons in a brief review, covering the yearly fees, increased storage capacity, a new "groups" service, the simplified backup tool, the complete removal of Virex antivirus software, and support for French and German languages. PC Magazine points to the new Groups addition, noting that "Apple has hit on something truly useful with Groups [...] each group includes a shared calendar (which members can subscribe to with iCal or software that supports the Webcal protocol, even on Windows PCs), plus space for messages, links, and files." In summary, ".Mac has always been good, but Apple has never committed the resources to make it great. More storage and top-notch backup and antivirus tools would seem essential. We'd also like to see Apple create a free plan for people who only want e-mail."

Apple donates 50 iPods for teaching-aid research
Apple has donated 50 iPods to Gracemount High School in Scotland, enabling pupils to look at ways that the devices can be used to teach languages, as well as other classes. Whizz-kids at the school have won a prestigious competition to develop the potential of the latest iPods as teaching aids. After a last-minute hitch threatened to put an end to the deal, local MP Nigel Griffiths stepped in to make sure the school received the iPods by persuading Direct Line to provide insurance coverage for the devices so that pupils can take them home to work on the new initiative, according to a report from Scotsman.com. The iPods will arrive at Gracemount High later this month, according to the report.
Apple, MS, others accused of patent infringement
Apple is among the companies named in a patent infringement case brought forward by Compression Labs, Inc. Parent company Forgent's intellectual property program has generated more than $100 million in revenues primarily from licensing the '672 Patent to more than 40 different companies in Asia, Europe and the United States. The '672 Patent relates to digital image compression used in digital still image devices that compress, store, manipulate, print or transmit digital still images such as digital cameras, personal digital assistants, cellular telephones, printers, scanners, and certain software applications. Other major companies named in the filling are Creative Labs, Microsoft, Dell, TiVo, Sun, Toshiba, and Yahoo!
iPod accessory market booming, no end in sight
iPod owners spend an average of more than $150 on accessories, and the market has exploded to over $2 billion with companies such as Belkin, Speck Products, Kiwali, and many more fuelling the fire. One company even manufactures multi-colored baby jumpers featuring the iPod click wheel on the front, reporting sales of over 1,000 since it launched just a few weeks ago, according to a report from The Buffalo News. Harman International has also sold over half a million iPod accessories since the fall of 2004, according to the report. During the first quarter of this year roughly 500 iPod accessories were on the market, and Apple posted a record 6.2 million iPod shipments in its fiscal third quarter.
Apple\'s competitors playing design catch-up
New projects at Dell, Toshiba and IBM among others focus on developing computers and gear that appeal for the sheer beauty of their design rather than just getting a job done, reports Chicago Tribune columnist James Coates. A few days ago Michael Dell went to New York's pricey Ritz Carlton hotel on Central Park South to announce a burnished metal-clad laptop dubbed XPS, which "emulates Apple's to-die-for tungsten-encased PowerBook." Coates also talks about how Jobs made design paramount at Apple, after being "rushed back from retirement [in 1997] to save the company from MBAs run amok." Many subsequent products -- including iMacs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iPods and now Nanos -- have "kept Apple front and center in a game in which its actual footprint is negligible while PCs own more than 90 percent of the market."

Apple, others still fighting JPEG patent
Apple Computer along with approximately 40 other companies are still in hot water over a patent infringement case that progressed further yesterday, reconfirming a Markman hearing on claim construction for February 13th next year. Judge Jeremy D. Fogel passed the ruling along in favor of Forgent Networks and its wholly owned subsidiary, Compression Labs, holders of U.S. patent number 4,698,672, or the "'672 patent", which covers technologies used in JPEG image compression. The case names such IT giants as Microsoft, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, Toshiba, and many others. Forgent's intellectual property program has generated more than $100 million in revenues primarily from licensing the '672 patent to more than 40 different companies in Asia, Europe and the United States.

Survey finds iPod/iTunes marketshare still growing
Piper Jaffray said a survey of teens regarding buying patterns for digital audio players and online music indicated that Apple's iPod and iTunes had gained market share, rather than plateau or lose share as had been expected. "We believe the teen market is a critical demographic in digital music," said analyst Gene Munster. "Apple appears to be winning mindshare at an early age, which we expect will pay off as students become more significant consumers over the next decade." According to the MarketWatch report, the firm reiterated his outperform rating with a price target of $60.

GoPro revenue drops, Karma drone delayed
Action camera maker GoPro announced its first quarter results on Thursday, and the news was largely bad. While unit sell-through of the cameras was close to the year-over-year compare, revenues dropped 49.5 percent from Q1 last year, though was slightly above the company's guidance. Overall, the company lost $107 million in GAAP net income, and margins declined to 32.5 percent from 45.1 percent in the year-ago quarter. The company further announced that it would be delaying its planned Karma drone product until this winter, which will likely further impact next quarter's results. The upside of the delay, said GoPro Founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman, is that the Karma will now benefit from debuting just before the holiday buying season. http://bit.ly/1OgpdgD
Netflix iOS app now offers cell-data controls
In a new update to its iOS app on Thursday, subscription entertainment service Netflix has introduced new user controls for streaming over cellular networks to prevent overages, throttling, or other usage issues caused by the high data rate of streamed HD video. Users can choose from a given amount of streaming video that "costs" 1GB of cellular data, which lowers video quality to allow as much as four hours of video per GB (the "automatic" setting provides three hours, while higher quality settings reduce the time to two hours, or one hour at the best setting).

US tech giants to candidates: support TPP
Tech giants including Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Uber are among thirteen major US corporations who have written an open letter to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton urging them to support the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal, reports Reuters. Although not yet made public, the letter also asks the candidates to make it easier for the companies to hire tech workers from overseas. Both are not happy with the TPP deal, although Trump is sterner in his opposition to any kind of trade deals between countries. Trump has not rejected outright the idea of importing high-tech talent from overseas, while Clinton has already voiced her support for the idea. http://reut.rs/1Wb0Zwq

Submitted by: Bobbi on Apr 14, 2014Got my boy for my AWS 2 years ago, after much communication with Sharon, I got the most gorgeous boy ever. He is the best 48 pound lap dog ever. Sharon and Joe are 100% into their dogs and give the best care and best information about the dogs you can find anywhere. My Danny is the picture of health and my very best friend. We are in the process of getting a little girl AWS from Joe and Sharon at the end of the month!!! EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN A BREEDER IS RIGHT HERE, WITH THE BEST DOGS EVER!! Do yourself a favor, check them out, you will not be disappointed!
Submitted by: Al on Jun 08, 2010Traveled down on Sunday to pick up a pup from this litter. Could not be more pleased. Sharon was first-class and very helpful in learning about the breed. Once Drake got home he quickly assimilated into our family and shows all the makings of a fine gun dog. Thanks again.
Proud owner of Mann'rs King Eider "Drake"
Submitted by: David McCracken on Mar 28, 2010UH HRCH "Gumbo" WDS, the sire of Jessie's litter is a consistant duck and upland hunter. He has all the drive and desire anyone could want in a hunting/hunt test dog, but also possesses the calm demeanor of a family pet. Gumbo sleeps in our bed at night and eagerly enters the water on 20 degree days to duck hunt. He is an "all round" dog and I have no reason to believe the pups from this litter should be any different.

Home > News > DuPont's Small Miracle
April 17th, 2007
It's easy to think of DuPont (NYSE: DD) as a large, boring, old chemical giant that competes against the likes of Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW) and BASF (NYSE: BF). But after attending the opening session of the 2007 NanoBusiness Alliance's annual conference, I would encourage you to take a broader -- and more historical -- perspective on the company.
The luncheon speaker for the opening session was Uma Chowdry, DuPont's chief science and technology officer. Her talk was not focused on any cool, cutting-edge applications of nanotechnology, but rather a quick overview of how the "science of the small" was going to continue to add value to DuPont's bottom line.

The Northview Academic Super Bowl Team consists of the following students: Ahnya Alstott, Kyle Brown, Neil Brown, Melissa Chrisman, Chris Fox, Brandon Jones, Codi Krider, Marsha Krisendo, Cecilia Latta, Mitch Mershon, Danica Neier, Jennie Pell, Rachel Romas, Christina Rose, Jason Short, Sara Spencer, Jason True and ChCarra Yockey.
Northview High School is going to the Super Bowl. The State Academic Super Bowl. The annual event is sponsored by Purdue University and administered by the Indiana Association of School Principals.
Regional competition was held April 20 at Greencastle High School. To prepare for the regional, the academic team attended invitationals at Brownsburg and Owen Valley in March. Northview's English team qualified to move on to State competition. This is the first time since 1995 that an academic team has advanced to the State level.
The English section of the six-category academic team will compete at Pike Performing Arts in Indianapolis on May 8. The top seven in each category advanced. Coach Kerin Downey, an English teacher at Northview, said the English division came in second out of 79 schools in Class 1.
"Many of the schools we competed against are a lot bigger than we are," Downey said. "Class is determined by enrollment and we come in at the lower end number-wise. We finished ahead of Terre Haute North and South, Bloomington South and many of the larger Class 1 schools in the Indianapolis area like Pike, Carmel, Center Grove and Plainfield. Southside High School in Fort Wayne took first in English."
The six categories of the academic team are English, math, science, social studies, fine arts and interdisciplinary. Coaches are Deanne Leohr, Randy Eppert, Jennifer Deal and Downey. Leohr will accompany Downey and her academic squad on May 8.
The members of the state qualifying English team are senior Christina Rose, freshman Anahya Alstott, senior Melissa Chrisman, senior Cecilia Latta and senior Sara Spencer. The students were happy with their performance and are excited about going to the state.
"It was kind of overwhelming that we were the first team to go to the state in nine years," English team captain Christina Rose said. "We definitely had to do a lot of reading and a lot of research to prepare for this."
Northview principal Ken Wallace is proud of the State qualifying academic team.
"We've had a very good year at Northview this year," Wallace said. "We have accomplished a lot academically and athletically. But this is the most important student achievement of the year. I want to congratulate Mrs. Downey and the members of the team and wish them the best of luck at State."

Quake report 'too expensive'
Relevant offers
Multimillionaire Invercargill businessman Louis Crimp is reluctant to pay for an earthquake engineering report.
Mr Crimp, who owns Tuatara Backpackers, in Dee St, employed structural engineering business GM Designs to conduct an initial earthquake report on the building.
Mr Crimp said his failure to pay had nothing to do with the report itself, but "probably because it was too expensive".
"I am not usually in a hurry to pay my bills," he said.
Staff at Mr Crimp's office confirmed he had yet to settle the engineering bill and said he would probably ask GM Designs for more details.
When contacted by The Southland Times, Mr Crimp said he would pay the bill "sooner or later".
"I only did the first report because there were cracks in the side of the building and I was told by the council," he said.
He said GM designs wanted to do a further report but he believed there would be no point because the first report showed the solid concrete building had just a few hairline cracks. He did not want the engineering firm to write a further report as things would probably end up like Christchurch, with the original decision revoked with a recommendation of demolition, he said.
"Everyone is panic-stricken at the moment after Christchurch, and I am not paying extra for that."
Mr Crimp said he had already carried out his responsibility to the public by instigating the first report.
"The Tuatara will not fall down and I will not pay thousands of dollars for people to tell me it will."
GM Designs owner Graeme McMillan said he had carried out work for Mr Crimp for 25 years. He said he was difficult to communicate with and was not available for serious decision-making.
"He can give away millions but not pay the cents that count," Mr McMillan said, adding that he believed Mr Crimp would, like the Invercargill City Council, wait on the sidelines until the government forced action to be taken.
Mr McMillan also criticised the city council for not being proactive and dishing out dangerous building notices, such as those issued by the Southland District Council.
He said the letter issued by the council did not force owners to make a proper structural assessment of their buildings. "The letter was like a wet bus ticket going nowhere," he said.
He believed the council should make owners put notices on buildings to say that people entered them at their own risk.
He said Tuatara Backpackers was not the worst building in the city and he knew of at least two that would collapse if an earthquake hit. He believed that, given the age and condition of many brick buildings in the city, the 50-year plan would be to replace buildings, not strengthen them.

I. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to communication systems in general and, in particular, to improving the transmission of information signals in a communications system.
II. Description of the Related Art
CDMA communication systems are very sensitive to peak transmit power and are generally limited by interference related to transmit power levels. One interference related limitation is the so called "Near-Far Problem". In this problem as transmit power increases during a transmission it causes more interference in other channels. To deal with this additional interference, the other channels must increase their own transmit power. The increase in transmit power by the other channels in turn generates more interference for all the channels. This avalanche effect occurs until the system is stabilized and all the channels are satisfied. Therefore, in order to maximize the capacity of such a system it is desirable that each user transmits only the minimum power necessary to achieve a required quality of service. Another problem that can degrade the performance of other links in a transmission system is a waveform that contains a discontinuous power pattern. This problem compounds the Near-Far Problem.
Transmit power amplifiers provide another area where interference can limit the capacity of CDMA communication systems. The maximum output power of transmit power amplifiers is determined by a number of design parameters including power dissipation and unwanted emissions. Unwanted emissions are those that are outside the bandwidth of the input signal. Most of the unwanted emissions occur due to intermodulation within the power amplifier. Intermodulation is caused by high transmit power levels that drive the amplifier into a nonlinear region.
Unwanted emissions are often limited by regulatory bodies, such as the FCC. Industry standards may also set limits on unwanted emissions in order to avoid interference with the same or another system. To maintain unwanted emissions within the desired limits, the output power of the transmit power amplifier is selected so that the probability of exceeding the emission limits is very small. When a waveform having a nonlinear envelope is amplified, the maximum output is determined by the portion of the waveform that has the highest power level. Additionally, if the requested output power exceeds the maximum permitted output power, a transmitter can limit the output power to the maximum permitted level in order to keep the unwanted emissions within the prescribed limits.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown graphical representation 10 of transmission waveforms 12, 18. Transmission waveform 12 is formed of waveform portions 14, 16 having differing power levels. The transmit power level limitation of the amplifier will be reached by portion 14 rather than by portion 16 because portion 14 has the highest instantaneous power. In contrast, transmission waveform 18 has a constant envelope. Transmitting at the maximum power permits higher energy transmission, as illustrated by the areas under transmission waveforms 12, 18. In order to maximize the total transmit energy over a period of time, it is therefore desirable that the signal applied to the transmitter have a peak to average power ratio as close to one as possible. Furthermore, in addition to preventing the peak transmit power problems, a constant power level reduces self interference that can result from fast changes of the loading in the power amplifier.
For example, FIG. 2 shows a plurality of transmission waveforms 20 a-n. The number n of transmission waveforms 20 a-n can be very large. For example, n can commonly have a value of two hundred or more in CDMA communication systems. Transmission signal 20 a-n is formed of pilot portions 22, control portions 24, voice portions 26, and data portions 28. Pilot portions 22 of transmission signals 20 a-n always have a high power level. By definition, in order to serve as a pilot signal, portion 22 must always be high. Data portions 28 are usually relatively high because it is a very highly utilized time slot. Voice portions 26, on the other hand, are typically low because voice signals have many unused periods.
Total power waveform 30 represents the total power of transmission waveforms 20 a-n summed together. Because pilot portions 22 and data portions 28 are at high levels within transmission waveforms 20 a-n, the corresponding portions 32, 38 of total power waveform 30 are high. Because voice portions 26 vary and are usually low, portion 36 of total power waveform 30 can vary from close to zero to an intermediate level.
The invention is a method for limiting the peak transmit power in a CDMA communication system. At least one of first and second high transmit power regions are separated into a plurality of high transmit power subregions. The high transmit power subregions of the plurality of high subregions are shifted by time offsets of differing durations to provide a plurality of time offset subregions. First and second low transmit power regions are also provided. At least one of the first and second low transmit power regions is also separated into a plurality of transmit power subregions and the low transmit power subregions are shifted by time offsets of differing time durations. The subregions can be time offset by a predetermined time duration or by a random time duration.
The features, objects, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent form the detailed description set forth below when taken in conjunction with the drawings in which like reference characters identify corresponding elements throughout and wherein:
FIG. 1 shows a graphical representation of transmission waveforms;
FIG. 2 shows a plurality of transmission signals in a communication system;
FIG. 3 shows a graphical representation of a transmission waveform;
FIG. 4 shows a graphical representation of transmission waveforms;
FIG. 5 shows a graphical representation of transmission waveforms;
FIG. 6 shows a flowchart representation of an algorithm for predicting the peak transmit power level in a CDMA system; and
FIG. 7 shows a graphical representation of a transmission waveform interleaved according to the method of the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a graphical representation of transmit waveform 50. A large number of waveforms such as transmit waveform 50 are conventionally transmitted simultaneously in CDMA communication systems. Transmit waveforms 50 are formed of a plurality of slots 54. Within each slot 54 are three regions having power levels A, B, and C. If a number of transmit waveforms 50 are transmitted through a communication band in such a way that power levels A of the various waveforms 50 occur simultaneously, the total power transmitted through the band reaches a peak at that time. Likewise, if transmit waveforms 50 are transmitted such that power levels C occur simultaneously, the total power of the band reaches a low level at that time.
However, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention transmit waveforms 50 are time offset with respect to each other in such a way that the high power levels A do not line up with each other. In this way the high levels and the low levels of the various transmit waveforms 50 are averaged out. This results, most importantly, in a lower peak transmit power in the communication band. As previously described, a lower peak transmit power reduces unwanted emissions and interference.
Referring now to FIG. 4, there is shown graphical representation 70 of transmit waveforms 74 a-n. Transmit waveforms 74 a-n can include pilot portions 78, power up/down portions 82, control portions 86, and data portion 90 within each time slot 72. Data portions 90 contain data pulse 92. The peak transmit power of a band carrying transmit waveforms 74 a-n is the sum of the power of each waveform 74 a-n. Thus, in order to minimize the peak transmit power, and to thereby minimize unwanted emissions, the sum of transmit waveforms 74 a-n can be averaged and smoothed.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the averaging of the high transmit levels A of transmit waveforms 74 a-n is accomplished by providing each successive waveform 74 a-n with the same fixed offset when a new waveform 74 a-n is added to the communication band. Thus, for illustrative purposes, transmit waveforms 74 a-n are identical to each other except that they are time offset from each other by differing multiples of the fixed time offset to.
For example, if transmit waveform 74 a is the first signal to be transmitted by a communication band, it can be transmitted with zero offset. If transmit waveform 74 b is the next signal to be transmitted within the communication band, it can receive time offset to with respect to transmit waveform 74 a. If transmit waveform 74 c is the next signal to be transmitted, it can be time offset by to with respect to transmit waveform 74 b. This is equivalent to a time offset of 2t0 from waveform 74 a. Each subsequent transmit waveform 74 a-n to be transmitted by way of the communication band can then receive an additional offset to in the same manner. It will be understood however that it is not always possible to shift every waveform by any time offset that may be required by this method.
Referring now to FIG. 5, there is shown graphical representation 100 of total transmit power waveform 96. When practicing the method of the present invention, further averaging of transmit waveforms 74 a-n, described in FIG. 4, and therefore further improvement in the peak transmit power, can be obtained by smoothing data pulse 92 within data portion 90 of waveforms 74 a-n prior to applying time offsets. In order to obtain this further improvement, conventional techniques for distributing the information of data pulse 92 throughout data portion 90 can be used. Additionally, the position of data pulse 92 within data portion 90 can be varied in order to minimize the peak transmit power. Using these methods, a transmit power level 94 can result within in total transmit power waveform 96.
In another embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 4, the various portions within time slots 72 of transmit waveforms 74 a-n can be separated from each other and transmitted in any of the possible sequences. For example, within time slot 72 data portion 90 can be separated from the remainder of transmit waveform 74 a and transmitted first. Pilot portion 78 can be separated and transmitted next after data portion 90. The remaining portions within time slot 72 can also be transmitted in any sequence. Applying this technique to the waveform of graphical representation 50, described in FIG. 3, portions A, B, and C can be transmitted as ABC, ACB, or in any other order. Furthermore, the sequences can be varied from one transmit waveform 74 a-n to the next transmit waveform.
Improved results can be obtained in the method of separating and reordering the portions of transmit waveforms 74 a-n by randomly changing the sequence of the transmissions of the waveform portions. This results in further averaging and smoothing of the contributions to the total transmit power made by the various waveforms. New transmission sequences can be continuously produced by a random number generator. In this case both the transmitter and the receiver must have knowledge of the parameters of the random number generator in order to permit decoding by the receiver.
In addition to using a fixed time offset t0 for each new waveform, it is possible to select an individual offset for each new waveform according to an algorithm. For example, the new time offset can be selected by determining which of the possible offsets is being used by the lowest number of existing calls. Additionally, the individual offsets can be determined by a peak power algorithm adapted to provide a minimum increase in the peak transmit power according to the shape or expected shape of the new transmission signals. The algorithm can be a heuristic one. In order to perform this function the peak power minimization algorithm must be able to predict the transmit power waveform over a period of time, for example over a transmit frame.
Referring now to FIG. 6, there is shown transmit power prediction algorithm 100. Transmit power prediction algorithm 100 can be used to predict the new total power resulting from the addition of, for example, each transmission waveform 74 a-n described in FIG. 4 to a communication system. Additionally, algorithm 100 can be used to predict a new total power for adding a transmission waveform 74 a-n at each of a number of possible time offsets. Thus, it is possible to select the optimum time offset resulting in the minimum increase in peak transmit power. By determining the optimum time offset for each new transmit waveform 74 a-n as it is added to the communication system in this manner further improvement in system performance is obtained in an heuristic manner.
For example, the total transmit power of some known systems can be calculated as:
is the forgetting factor, {overscore (P)}n is the vector with the frame power estimate at time n with elements {overscore (P)}n′ corresponding to the estimated power during the ith symbol in the frame, and {overscore (e)}n is the vector containing the measured power for a frame at time n.
When a new channel set up is required in order to add a new transmission waveform, the base station can compute the transmit power waveform W resulting from the addition of the new channel. The base station can then compute the resulting power vectors corresponding to each of the possible time offsets as follows:
where cyclk( ) is an operator that produces a cyclic shift of the vector W by k elements. The new channel can then be set up with the time offset that corresponds to the ({overscore (P)}n′)(k) having the peak power to average power ratio closest to one.
It will be understood that when a waveform such as transmission waveform 50 is separated into sections having power levels A, B and C, the transmission sequence of the sections can be selected in a similar heuristic manner. For example, the resulting peak transmit power can be determined for each possible transmission sequence and the transmission sequence resulting in the lowest peak transmit power can be selected.
Referring now to FIG. 7, there is shown graphical representation 130 of transmit power waveform 132. It is understood by those skilled in the art that each region A, B and C of representation 50 can be separated into subregions. The subregions of each region can be as small as desired, with subregions having a single symbol being permitted. The subregions formed by dividing the regions in this manner can then be interleaved with respect to each other in order to form transmit power waveform 132. Additionally, one region of the transmission waveform can be left intact while the remaining regions can be interleaved. This is set forth as transmit power waveform 134.
The order of the transmission of the interleaved subregions can be a predetermined order, a random order, or any other order understood by those skilled in the art. Separation and interleaving of transmission waveforms in this manner provides excellent averaging of transmission waveforms and minimizing of peak transmits power. When regions within a transmit power waveform are interleaved in this manner, the receiver must wait for the end of a slot before it can begin decoding.
The previous description of the preferred embodiments is provided to enable a person skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. The various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without the use of the inventive faculty. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed. It will be understood that all of the methods disclosed herein can be used at the time of call set up or at any time during a transmission after set up.
Additionally, it will be understood that the various methods can be combined with each other in any manner. In particular, all of the separable waveform methods can be used independently or in conjunction with the previously described time shifting based methods, with or without the random or heuristic methods. Furthermore, the various methods disclosed herein can be performed either at the time of call setup or at any time during transmission of the transmission waveforms.

The Government may downsize dairy farms and limit herd sizes in order to protect New Zealand's clean, green image.
Farmers in Canterbury and Southland have been identified as major offenders in a 10-year stocktake of the environment that shows New Zealand's pure image is under threat. It was also revealed that nearly 2500 bird, plant and other species were under threat and a fifth of monitored groundwater was too contaminated to drink.
South Island intensive farming and rampant growth in dairying have been identified in the state of the environment report as key factors in decreasing water quality at a time when the country's other big industries are cleaning up their acts.
The situation was so dire the Government said yesterday it was considering regulations that could see farms shrink and limits on the size of dairy herds.
The findings, released in a 456-page report, showed streams, rivers and lakes near urban and farming areas had deteriorated, with up to 40 per cent of monitored spots no longer safe to swim in. More than 20% of monitored groundwater was unsafe to drink. New Zealanders used as much as three times more fresh water per person than other developed nations and water allocation had increased 50% since 1999.
The Canterbury and Otago regions accounted for almost three-quarters of the total national allocation of water, with 55% and 18% respectively.
Other black marks on New Zealand's report card included an ageing and increasingly dirty vehicle fleet, growing greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, overfishing and the increased threat from pests to rare native plants and wildlife.
The report said rates of new forest planting were at their lowest in many decades, and replanting rates had tailed off.
Kiwis were using more energy and an increasing amount of that energy was coming from fossil fuels.
On the positive side of the ledger, economic growth was faster than growth in energy demand, indicating businesses were becoming more efficient.
Ozone levels over New Zealand had stabilised, ultraviolet levels were dropping, beaches appeared to be cleaner and hill-country erosion was on the decline. Waste management was also improving, with most Kiwis now having access to kerbside recycling and the number of dump sites down from 230 to just 60.
Environment Minister Trevor Mallard said it was clear the Government needed to take further action in addition to the 2003 voluntary Dairying and Clean Streams Accord.
"What has become clear anecdotally and individually from this report is that we have had a serious decline in water quality over the years.
"We have a clean, green reputation which is justified, but we won't be able to hold on to it unless we take action."
There were a number of causes, including run-off from urban areas.
However, the biggest contributor had been intensive farming, especially dairying, Mallard said.
The report said average nutrient levels in urban and pastoral waterways breached the Australia and New Zealand Environment Committee guidelines for ecosystem protection.
It said that between 1996 and 2006, while the total area of New Zealand under pasture had declined, the national dairy herd grew by 24%. The expansion in deer and dairy farming had been particularly evident in Canterbury and Southland.
Data in the report showed that while the number of dairy farms in the North Island and nationally had declined, the number in the South Island had grown from 2035 in 1994 to 2448 in 2005.

Operation Crossbow: How 3D glasses helped defeat HitlerBreaking News
Newly released photographs show how a team of World War II experts disrupted Nazi plans to bombard Britain - with the help of 3D glasses like those in modern cinemas.
Hitler's deadly V-1 and V-2 missiles were early but effective weapons of mass destruction - unmanned flying bombs which brought terror to southern England.
But their impact could have been all the more devastating - costing thousands more lives, lengthening the war and threatening the D-Day landings - were it not for the fact that British intelligence worked in three, rather than two, dimensions.
One of the Royal Air Force's most significant successes came with Operation Crossbow, when it tracked down, identified and destroyed many of the V-weapons which could have prolonged the war.
It did so by meticulously photographing the landscape of occupied Europe in a way that allowed officers to study every contour....
