The present invention provides novel antimicrobial immobilized 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-onezinc oxide complexes useful as antimicrobial agents because of their resistance to being leached from the substrate to which they are attached. The temperature-dependent error may be caused by parasitic resistance in a p-n junction and temperature dependent variation of a bias current in a temperature sensor. In another embodiment, the dispersion compensating module has a mode converter having a reflective fiber grating for converting a first to a second mode interconnected to a dispersion compensated fiber propagating in the second mode. The mobile station may utilize the standard transmit pulse-shaping filter for transmitting uplink signals and the standard receive pulse-shaping filter for receiving downlink signals when it is receiving service from a macrocell base station. In an embodiment of the present invention, the human interface device protocol is encapsulated in Bluetooth baseband protocol for wireless transmission between a peripheral device and a host computer. The method comprises generating statistics based upon analysis of a plurality of video frames, detecting a fade condition based upon the statistics, generating one or more estimated weighted prediction parameters based upon the statistics when the fade condition is detected and encoding the plurality of video frames.
