Title: Method and apparatus for receiving wireless transmissions using multiple-antenna arrays
Inventor: HASSIBI BABAK
IPC: H01Q3/26
Filed: 2000-10-30
Abstract: A method is disclosed for signal detection in a wireless communication
system that includes multiple-antenna arrays for transmission and reception. The
method involves multiplying a vector of signals collected from respective receiving
antennas by a nulling vector, such that the resulting vector product provides an
estimated value corresponding to a specific one of the transmitted signals. A
respective such multiplication is performed to detect each of the transmitted signals.
In contrast to related methods of the prior art, each nulling vector is obtained from a
channel matrix of estimated channel coefficients without performing any matrix
inversion operations, and only a single pseudoinverse related to the channel matrix
is computed. As a result, numerical stability is improved and the computational
complexity of the method is reduced by an order of magnitude relative to methods of
the prior art.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des cellules mammaliennes conjuguées à un haptène, ainsi que leurs méthodes de préparation et d'utilisation. La conjugaison d'un haptène à des cellules mammaliennes permet d'empêcher efficacement la croissance des cellules, et elle peut être utilisée à la place de tout traitement classique, notamment l'irradiation. Ainsi, l'invention concerne des cellules mammaliennes en général, notamment, des cellules humaines, qui sont en phase de quasi non croissance, ainsi qu'une méthode permettant de maintenir ces cellules en phase de quasi non croissance par leur conjugaison à un haptène. L'invention concerne également des compositions renfermant des cellules tumorales et des extraits de tumeurs modifiés par un haptène, ainsi que des méthodes de traitement du cancer par administration d'une dose thérapeutiquement efficace d'une composition renfermant une cellule tumorale ou un extrait de cellule tumorale à un sujet nécessitant un tel traitement. Les cellules tumorales et les extraits de tumeurs selon l'invention, ainsi que les compositions les renfermant sont capables de produire des lymphocytes T susceptibles d'infiltrer une tumeur mammalienne, de déclencher une réponse immunitaire inflammatoire contre une tumeur de mammifère, de susciter une réaction d'hypersensibilité du type à retardement vis-à-vis d'une tumeur de mammifère et/ou stimuler des lymphocytes T in vitro. L'invention concerne, en outre, un échéancier de vaccinations efficace, permettant d'induire chez un patient mammifère atteint d'un cancer, une réaction antitumorale, et ce par induction d'un des phénomènes ci-après : nécrose tumorale, régression tumorale, inflammation tumorale, infiltration tumorale par des lymphocytes T activés, réaction d'hypersensibilité du type à retardement, et prolongation de la survie du patient. L'invention concerne enfin une méthode économique, simplifiée et améliorée de préparation de ces cellules tumorales conjuguées à un haptène en vue de leur administration sous forme de vaccin, laquelle méthode consiste à éliminer une étape séparée de traitement des cellules (par irradiation, par exemple) de manière à les maintenir en phase de non croissance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'affichage grand angulaire comportant un projecteur d'images, un générateur d'images, et une pluralité d'ensembles tubes cathodiques (CRT) (200). Chaque CRT comprend un élément CRT, un boîtier adaptateur (206), et un ensemble lentille. Chaque élément CRT comprend un CRT, un élément de refroidissement de CRT (208) et un boîtier de CRT servant à l'accouplement au projecteur d'images. Le boîtier adaptateur présente une première surface et une seconde surface qui forme un angle dièdre sélectionné avec la première surface. En variante, une plaque d'adaptation est placée entre le boîtier adaptateur et l'ensemble lentille. Cette plaque d'adaptation présente une première surface et une seconde surface qui forme l'angle dièdre sélectionné avec la première surface. Cet angle dièdre sélectionné, entre le boîtier adaptateur et l'ensemble lentille, a pour effet de décaler un axe longitudinal de l'élément CRT par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de l'ensemble lentille, ce qui entraîne une correction de la distorsion d'image, par exemple des distorsions de Scheimpflug.

Abstract: L'invention concerne décrit l'utilisation de protéines de poisson (plus précisément, de morue) et de soja pour améliorer la résistance périphérique à l'insuline chez les humains et les animaux. Ces protéines de poisson et de soja ont été administrées à des rats, qui sont des animaux modèles pour le diabète, soumis à des diètes à forte teneur en saccharose ou à forte teneur en matières grasses et en saccharose. On a découvert que les protéines de poisson et de soja régulent efficacement l'utilisation de glucose et que les protéines de poisson sont particulièrement efficaces sur les tissus musculaires. Cet effet n'est pas observé lorsqu'on administre de la caséine aux rats. Les protéines de poisson et de soja sont donc susceptibles d'être efficaces pour la régulation de la résistance à l'insuline, du diabète et de complications en résultant, telle que l'obésité.

Abstract: The bobbin winder, to form cross wound bobbins, has a brake unit (20) at the support and clamping roller (9) which is in friction contact with the cross wound bobbin (8). The cross wound bobbin winder has a support and clamping roller, in friction contact with the bobbin, which is automatically brought to rest by a brake when it is moved clear of the bobbin. If the support and clamping roller is laid against the bobbin with an insufficient pressure, the bobbin moves the roller against the brake component (16) of the brake unit. The support and clamping roller rotates freely on a mounting arm (12), which swings on a pivot axis (13) at static mounting brackets (14), with a spring (15) acting on it. The static brake component is fitted to one of the mounting brackets, as an exchangeable unit, on the opposite side of the support and clamping roller to the reciprocating yarn guide (10).

Abstract: An optical system having a first order spectral range that is usable in an optical
spectrum analyzer receives an broadband optical test signal and a optical calibration
signal and couples the optical signals via two optically isolated paths to separate
optical detectors. First and second pairs of optical fibers, with each pair having an
input fiber and an output fiber, are positioned in a focal plane of a collimating optic
that has an optical axis. The fiber pairs are symmetrically positioned on either side of
the optical axis with the input fibers positioned on one side of the optical axis and the
output fibers positioned on the opposite side of the optical axis. The input fibers
receive the optical test signal and the optical calibration signal. The output optical
fibers are coupled to first and second optical detectors. An optical calibration source
generates second order or greater spectral lines that fall within the first order spectral
range of the optical system. A diffraction grating receives the optical test signal and
the optical calibration signal from the collimating optic and separates the first order
spectral components of the broadband optical test signal and passes the second order
or greater spectral lines of the optical calibration signal. The first optical detector that
is responsive to the first order spectral components of the optical test signal receives
the optical test signal from the collimating optic and converts the optical test signal to
an electrical signal. A second optical detector that is responsive to the second order or
greater spectral lines of the optical calibration signal concurrently receives the optical
calibration signal from the collimating optic and converts the calibrations signal to an
electrical signal.
