Title: A strategy for maintaining pregnancy
Inventor: KING TIMOTHY J
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: A method for maintaining pregnancy in a female pregnant with at least one fertile embryo, comprising engrafting one or more infertile embryos into the uterus. Particularly suitable embryos are parthenogenetic embryos, formed by activating and diploidizing unfertilised oocytes. The method is particularly useful in mammals such as the pig, where pregnancy does not continue to term when there are only a few embryos in the uterus. The method is considered to be useful in circumstances where the embryo has been manipulated, for example grown from an embryonic cell wherein the chromosomal DNA has been genetically altered, or grown from a cell produced by nuclear transfer. In an exemplary embodiment, the embryos may have been genetically altered to include an expressible encoding region for a human protein, or to produce tissue suitable for xenotransplantation by the inactivation of a gene that causes expression of an antigen that is xenogeneic to humans.

Title: Re-registering a SIM card with a new home network
Inventor: MAYES KEITH EDWARD
IPC: H04W8/26
Filed: 2001-09-20
Abstract: A telecommunications system, such as a mobile telecommunications system, comprises a plurality of networks such as all owned or controlled in common. Smart cards (e.g. SIM cards in a GSM system) are used for enabling terminals within the system to communicate. A SIM card management centre (10) carries out the process normally carried out by a network operator for registering one of the SIM cards with its network (as its "home" network), using information supplied by the SIM card supplier. In addition, however, the SIM card management centre (10) can re-register each smart card with a different one of the networks. This is particularly though not only useful where the terminals are telematics terminals incorporated in a product the final geographical destination of which may not be known at the time of manufacture or may change. Secret information relating to all the networks is pre-stored, in respective records, on each SIM card at the outset. The record specific to a particular one of the networks merely has to be activated when the SIM card is to be registered or re-registered with that network. The need for transmission of new secret information to the SIM card when re-registering it with a different one of the networks, which would potentially compromise security, is avoided. When a SIM card is registered with a different network, it can be de-registered from the previous network so that the different network becomes its new home network. Instead, the registration with the previous network can be maintained. Each SIM card can carry one or more IMSIs. Billing means can be arranged to associate charges made with two (or more) of the SIM cards and/or with two (or more) of the IMSIs on the same or on different SIM cards.

Title: Stopping iterative decoding in a turbo decoder when a minimum absolute LLR is greater than a dynamic threshold
Inventor: KIM BEONG-JO
IPC: H03M13/29
Filed: 2001-12-24
Abstract: A turbo decoder outputs an absolute LLR (Log Likelihood Ratio) value for each of the N information bits of a received frame. This process is repeated iteratively. For each iteration, i, a minimum LLR detector selects a minimum value M(i) among the N sequentially output absolute LLR values. A controller issues a command to stop the iterative decoding, if the minimum value M(i) is larger than a first threshold. The first threshold is based on F<SB>min</SB>, which is the minimum one of the values M(1), M(2),...M(i-1) calculated for the preceding iterations of a current frame. F<SB>min</SB> is updated as further iterations are carried out. In a preferred embodiment, one further iteration is performed after the stop command is issued. In one embodiment the early stopping command is only given when M(i) also exceeds a second threshold. The method of the present invention may also be used in combination with a prior art CRC method of early stopping.

Title: Handling of software-pipelined loops in processors
Inventor: TOPHAM NIGEL PETER
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2002-01-30
Abstract: A processor is capable of executing a software-pipelined loop. A plurality of registers (20) store values produced and consumed by executed instructions. A register renaming unit (32) renames the registers during execution of the loop. In the event that a software-pipelined loop requires zero iterations, the registers are renamed in a predetermined way to make the register allocation consistent with that which occurs in the normal case in which the loop has one or more iterations. This is achieved by carrying out an epilogue phase only of the loop with the instructions in the loop schedule turned off so that their results do not commit. The issuance of the instructions in the epilogue phase brings about the predetermined renaming automatically. The number of epilogue iterations may be specified in a loop instruction used to start up the loop.

Title: Instantaneous ultrasonic echo measurement of bladder urine volume with a limited number of ultrasound beams
Inventor: BAARTMANS HENRI L G
IPC: A61B5/20
Filed: 2002-08-09
Abstract: In a <B>first version</B> the apparatus is composed of a transducers assembly that transmits a plurality of narrow ultrasound beams in different directions towards the bladder and receives the returning ultrasound signals; a receiver detector for processing the returned signals; an analog-to-digital converter; a memory to store the digitized data and a volume display allowing to define the optimal position of the transducer assembly. The apparatus also includes a signal processing software that automatically determines the bladder Depth D and Height H and computes the volume of urine using an empirical formula corrected by specific, empirically measured, filling dependant correction factors. In a <B>second version</B> a single wide angle ultrasound beam transducer transmitting ultrasound signals at fundamental frequency is used to quantify the urine volume. Return signals originating from a depth beyond the usual position of the posterior wall depth of a filled bladder are analyzed for presence of higher harmonic signals which in turn are related to presence or absence of urine. Both methods or a combination thereof can be used as a simple warning device for presence of residual urine after voiding or indicate the presence of a critical bladder urine filling level.
