Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out a QoS-oriented handoff between a first and a second IP-based, especially mobile IPv6-based, communication path, between a mobile node (MN) and a correspondent node (CN), the second communication path being part of a number of communication paths which can be accessed by the mobile node, with no, one, or a plurality of intermediate instances. The inventive method comprises at least the following steps: (a) a communication path is selected from the communication paths which can be accessed by the mobile node, as a second communication path; (b) a message (BU) is generated by the mobile node, said message containing at least one IP address which is associated with the mobile node on the basis of the selected communication path, and containing minimum quality of service requirements (QoS) in terms of the selected communication path; (c) the ability to meet at least the minimum quality of service requirements is controlled and optionally ensured by the individual intermediate instances through which the message passes successively, on the selected communication path and/or through the correspondent node. The message contains the minimum quality of service requirements for a communication from the mobile node to the correspondent node and/or vice versa. A handoff is automatically carried out between the first communication path and the second selected communication path, when at least the minimum quality of service-requirements are met or the message is stopped. A notice is generated in an intermediate instance and/or in the correspondent node and is sent to the mobile node if the ability to meet the minimum quality of service requirements is, not ensured.

Abstract: The design of a hardware component such as a digital filter is optimized by taking an initial population of filter designs and encoding them as chromosomes. The fitness of each chromosome is then evaluated and parent chromosomes are then selected based on the fitness criteria. Offspring chromosomes are then generated using genetic operations such as mutation and cross-over from the pool of offspring, and optionally, parents. Individuals are selected to survive using a combination of Pareto fronts based on non-dominated individuals and clustering. The process is repeated or until a termination criteria is satisfied.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing N<SUP>2</SUP>-[1(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl]-N<SUP>6</SUP>-trifluoroacetyl-L-lysine and lisinopril thereof. Lisinopril shows excellent angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor activity. Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene with maleic anhydride in the presence of AlCl<SUB>3 </SUB>affords trans-beta-benzoylacrylic acid. Treatment of benzoylacrylic acid with HCl gas in ethanol gives ethyl 2-chloro-4-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate in high yield. The coupling reaction between ethyl 2-chloro-4-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate and trifluoroacetyl-L-lysine benzyl ester in the presence of a base pair and sodium iodide produces alkyl lydine derivative with a good diastereoselectivity. Catalytic hydrogenation of lysine derivative with palladium gives N<SUP>2</SUP>-[1(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl]-N<SUP>6</SUP>-trifluoroacetyl-L-lysine. This intermediate is activated to form cyclic N-anhydride by using N,N-carbonyldiimidazole and coupled with L-proline methyl ester hydrochloride to give fully protected lisinopril derivative, which is converted into crude lisinopril by hydrolysis.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to overcome conventional demerits of pullulan powders prepared by conventional techniques, i.e., they could not be homogeneously mixed with non-reducing saccharides composed of glucose units when mixed together, and the resulting mixtures do not easily dissolve in water; and to provide a pullulan-containing powder with an improved rate of water dissolution, as well as to provide preparations and uses thereof. The present invention solves the above object by providing a pullulan-containing powder which uniformly comprises pullulan as a main ingredient and a non-reducing saccharide, and their process and uses; wherein the pullulan-containing powder is prepared by the steps of preparing a solution dissolving pullulan and a non-reducing saccharide homogeneously, pulverizing the solution, and collecting the resulting pullulan-containing powder. The powder has an improved rate of water dissolution, while retaining satisfactory resistance to humidity without fear of causing separation between the pullulan and the non-reducing saccharide.

Abstract: A combiner for a diversity radio receiver wherein amplitude inversion of either received signal is performed, on a selection basis, in order to maximize the resultant output combined signal. The strength of each diversity signal is monitored as well as the strength of the combined output signal. A gain control engine combines the stronger signal with either the inverted or non-inverted weaker signal to maximize the combined output (resultant) signal strength. According to another embodiment the combiner may additionally perform an amplitude adjustment whereby the in-channel noise power is also monitored and the individual channel signal-to-noise ratios are used to adjust the amplifier gains. In this embodiment the individual channel signal-to-noise ratios plus the strength of the combined output signal are used to decide whether to invert the weaker signal before combining the received signals.

Abstract: To determine the location of a signal receiver, sampled data received from a receiver is divided into data segments of increasing length. Current ranges for a delay value and for a modulation frequency value are calculated relative to each satellite signal source that is overhead the signal receiver. Using the data segments of increasing length, the current ranges, estimates for the delay value and for the modulation frequency value are then iteratively calculated and updated. For each signal source, I and Q correlation integrals and their magnitude values are calculated using the modulation frequency value estimate and each of a range of delay values centered around the delay value estimate. The resulting magnitude-curve is interpolated using the calculated magnitude values. The location of the receiver is calculated using the shape of the magnitude-curve to represent the I and Q correlation integrals for each signal source.
