Title: Method and system for quality-based power control in cellular communications systems
Inventor: GUNNARSSON FREDRIK
IPC: H04Q7/22
Filed: 1999-02-23
Abstract: A method and system for quality-based transmission power control in a cellular communications system are disclosed, whereby a network operator can specify the transmission quality requirements using a measurement that better reflects the actual quality perceived by the users.      All transmitter'power levels in the network can be controlled by identical power regulators, each of which can adapt to individual traffic situations in order to achieve the specified quality. For example, in a GSM frequency-hopping network, the FER together with the parameters estimated from the current traffic situation, are mapped onto a target C/I, which in turn, the power control algorithm strives to achieve. Consequently, the power regulators can adapt to the traffic situation experienced by each receiver.

Title: Brightness enhancement film for backlit image displays
Inventor: MOSSMAN MICHELE ANN
IPC: G02B27/10
Filed: 2005-04-25
Abstract: A brightness enhancement film (22A) having a monolayer of approximately hemispherical, transparent, closely packed larger diameter hemi-beads (24).  Due to the hemi-beads' hemispherical shape, gaps (26) remain between adjacent ones of the larger diameter hemi-beads. A substantial number of the gaps are provided with at least one approximately hemispherical, transparent hemi-bead (28) having a diameter substantially less than the diameter of the larger diameter hemi-beads. Provision of smaller diameter hemi-beads within the gaps increases the film's reflectance value, such that the film's apparent brightness declines as a relatively smooth, continuous function of viewing angle, for viewing angles ranging from 0~ (normal incidence) to about 40~, which is the preferred angular viewing range.

Filed: 1992-08-25
Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing a modified eukaryotic cytoplasmic DNA virus by direct molecular cloning of a modified DNA molecule comprising a modified cytoplasmic DNA virus genome. The inventive method comprises the steps of (I) modifying under extracellular conditions a DNA molecule comprising a first cytoplasmic DNA virus genome to produce a modified DNA molecule comprising the modified cytoplasmic DNA virus genome; (II) introducing the modified DNA molecule into a first host cell which packages the modified DNA molecule into infectious virions; and (III) recovering from the host cell virions comprised of the modified viral genome. The host cell is infected with a helper virus which is expressed to package the modified viral genome into infectious virions. Examples of packaging a modified poxvirus genome by a helper poxvirus of the same or different genus are described. Also disclosed are novel poxvirus vectors for direct molecular cloning of open reading frames into a restriction enzyme cleavage site that is unique in the vector. In one model poxvirus vector, the open reading frame is transcribed by a promoter located in the vector DNA upstream of a multiple cloning site comprised of several unique cleavage sites.

Abstract: Processing load on an executing device for conducting playback is high during the playback of contents since the executing device performs verification of the contents validity in parallel with the contents playback, and therefore the executing device has to be equipped with a highly efficient processor. The present invention reduces the processing load involved in the verification by using, for the verification, only a predetermined number of encrypted units selected randomly from multiple encrypted units constituting encrypted contents recorded on the DVD. In addition, the present invention is capable of improving the accuracy of detecting unauthorized contents to some extent by randomly selecting a predetermined number of encrypted units every time the verification is performed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a single high-purity liquid comprising a partially fluorinated ether liquid for use as a long-term tamponade agent.  Compositions are directed to liquid tamponade agents consisting essentially of DEPE, or to agents comprising a soluble mixture of a partially fluorinated ether and either a silicone liquid (or oil) or a perfluorocarbon liquid (or any other liquid or oil that is clear, colorless, inert and has a low specific gravity. Partially fluorinated withers that have a specific gravity between 1.1 and 1.5 are well suited to rectify the deficiencies of silicone and perfluorocarbon liquids when they are used as tamponade agents. The soluble mixtures of the invention can be designed to have a specific gravity so that they do not have buoyancy problems (density greater than water), yet having a specific gravity that is not so high as to damage the posterior retina from mechanical forces (specific gravity less than 1.6). The mixtures can also be designed to have a specific gravity such that the mixture can act as a tamponade on both the superior and inferior retina simultaneously. The present invention provides such soluble mixtures and also partially fluorinated ether liquids alone, for the use and for the method of postoperative tamponade.  Thus, partially fluorinated wither liquids, and mixtures thereof, can be left in the eye postoperatively due to their long-term compatibility with the eye, thereby improving the success of retinal reattachment and healing procedures.

Abstract: This invention provides a post hole digger having a first, traverse pivot point, located on the medial portions of two handle members, and a second, blade assembly pivot point located at the medial point of the blade assemblies. Because the first pivot point is a traverse pivot point, the handle members are only required to travel through a limited range of motion. Additionally, the second, blade assembly pivot point is preferably an offset pivot point. Thus, because the second, blade assembly pivot point is disposed at a medial point of the blade assemblies, the motion of the handle members, which are coupled to the upper ends of the blade assemblies, is reversed relative to the lower ends of the blade members.
