Title: Method and apparatus for interleaving low density parity check (ldpc) codes over mobile satellite channels
Inventor: SCARPA CARL
IPC: H04W80/04
Filed: 2008-08-01
Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are described to interleave LDPC coded data for reception over a mobile communications channel, such as, for example, a satellite channel. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a method for channel interleaving includes segmenting a large LDPC code block into smaller codewords, randomly shuffling the code segments of each codeword and then convolutionally interleaving the randomly shuffled code words. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, such random shuffling can guarantee that no two consecutive input code segments will be closer than a defined minimum number of code segments at the output of the shuffler. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, by keeping data in, for example, manageable sub-sections, accurate SNR estimations, which are needed for the best possible LDPC decoding performance, can be facilitated based on, for example, iterative bit decisions.

Title: Biological specimen collection and transport system and methods of use
Inventor: FISCHER GERALD W
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2008-10-01
Abstract: Disclosed are compositions for isolating populations of nucleic acids from biological, forensic, and environmen-tal samples. Also disclosed are methods for using these compositions as one-step formulations for killing pathogens, inactivating nucleases, and releasing polynucleotides from other cellular components within the sample, and stabilizing the nucleic acids prior to further processing or assay. The disclosed compositions safely facilitate rapid sample collection, and provide extended storage and transport of the samples at ambient or elevated temperature without contamination of the sample or degradation of the nucleic acids contained therein. This process particularly facilitates the collection of specimens from remote locations, and under conditions previously considered hostile for preserving the integrity of nucleic acids released from lysed biological samples without the need of refrigeration or freezing prior to molecular analysis.

Abstract: An improved highly automated method and system for providing individual animal Electronic Identification, measurement and value based management if cattle in a large cattle feedlot. Through the use of (1) a computer system integrated with (2) electronic or other automatic individual animal identification (3) multiple measurement and remeasurement systems with automatic data input means and (4) a cattle handling and sorting system, animals are individually (a) identified and (b) measured by weight, external dimensions and characteristics of internal body tissue. With this information together with physiological characteristics and historical data on the animals, the computer system calculates the optimum (c) slaughter weight, (d) economic end point and (e) marketing data for shipment to a packing plant. After measurements, individual animals are (f) sorted by direction of the computer in response to calculations from the measurements. The computer system also calculates from the individual animal data and other data (g) each animal's pro rata share of the actual feed intake for the group with which it is being fed. The computer system (h) stores individual animal measurement, performance and location data, which is used by management to (i) select animals for shipment from the feedlot for slaughter at the optimum time. Following an animal's shipment to a slaughter facility, its identification in the computer system is used to (j) correlate the live animal physical characteristics and performance data to the measured and evaluated carcass characteristics data obtained during the slaughter process and (k) build a data base to more accurately identify and measure value based characteristics in subsequent animals produced and fed for more effective value based selection and management of those animals.
