Inventor: KIM HUN S
IPC: E02B3/12
Filed: 2005-08-31
Abstract: A retaining wall structure to support a slope comprises courses of vertically adjacent sandbags forming a wall face. The sandbags of each course are positioned adjacent to each other side to side along their lengths, rather than their widths, so as to extend at about a right angle from the slope being supported. Interconnecting members for connecting the sandbags together are positioned between adjacent courses in a staggered arrangement. The structure provides a wall face that is relatively deep and has a high density of sandbags.

Title: Method for identification of suitable fragmentation sites in a reporter protein
Inventor: TAFELMEYER PETRA
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 2004-10-08
Abstract: The invention concerns a combinatorial method for the generation of new split-protein sensors, and its application towards the (.beta./.alpha.)8-barrel enzyme N-(5.prime.-phosphoribosyl)-anthranilate isomerase Trp1p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is demonstrated. The generated split-Trp protein sensors allow for the detection of protein-protein interactions in the cytosol as well as the membrane by enabling trp1 cells to grow on medium lacking tryptophan. This powerful selection thus complements the repertoire of the currently used split-protein sensors and provides a new tool for high-throughput interaction screening.

Title: Rate selection for a multi-carrier mimo system
Inventor: KADOUS TAMER
IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2004-10-13
Abstract: To select a rate for data transmission in a multi-carrier MIMO system with a multipath MIMO channel, a post-detection SNR for each subband k of each spatial channel is initially determined and used to derive a constrained spectral efficiency based on a constrained spectral efficiency function of SNR  and modulation scheme M. An average constrained spectral efficiency for all subbands of all spatial channels used for data transmission is next determined based on the constrained spectral efficiencies for the individual subbands/spatial channels. An equivalent SNR needed by an equivalent system with an AWGN channel to support a data rate of is determined based on an inverse constrained spectral efficiency function . A rate is selected for the multi-carrier MIMO system based on the equivalent SNR. The selected rate is the highest rate among all supported rates with a required SNR less than or equal to the equivalent SNR.
