Title: Vascular delivery systems
Inventor: DAVID AYELET
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 2009-02-11
Abstract: The site-specific expression of selectins on endothelial cells of blood vessels during angiogenesis provides an opportunity to target anticancer drugs to the vascular endothelium to extend the range of the therapeutic effect. This invention describes an innovative drug targeting strategy for the selective delivery of the anticancer drugs to endothelial cells by means of polymer-drug conjugates modified with a carbohydrate ligand for the vascular selectins. A model chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin, and the E-selectin ligand, sLex, are attached to a biocompatible polymer (HPMA). The selective binding, cellular uptake, intracellular fate, and cell cytotoxicity of the polymer-bound drug are investigated in human endothelial cells.

Title: System and method for improving the quality of compressed video signals by smoothing the entire frame and overlaying preserved detail
Inventor: BRUTON LEONARD THOMAS
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2009-07-16
Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for improving the quality of compressed digital video signals by separating the video signals into Deblock and Detail regions and, by smoothing the entire frame, and then by over-writing each smoothed frame by a preserved Detail region of the frame. The Detail region may be computed only in Key Frames after which it may be employed in adjacent frames in order to improve computational efficiency. This improvement is enhanced by computing an Expanded Detailed Region in Key Frames. The concept of employing a smooth Canvas Image onto which the Detail image is overwritten is analogous to an artist first painting the entire picture with an undetailed Canvas (usually using a broad large brush) and then over-painting that Canvas with the required detail (usually using a small fine brush).

Title: Scheduling an application for performance on a heterogeneous computing system
Inventor: ZOMAYA ALBERT
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2009-10-01
Abstract: The invention concerns scheduling an application comprised of precedence constrained parallel tasks on a high-performance computer system. The computer system has a plurality of processors each enabled to operate on different voltage supply levels. First, a priority order for the tasks based on the computation and communication costs of the tasks is determined. Next, the based on the priority order of the tasks, assigning each task both a processor and a voltage level that substantially minimises energy consumption and completion time for performing that task when compared to energy consumption and completion time for performing that task on different combinations of processor and voltage level.  It is an advantage of the invention that the scheduling takes account not only completion time (makespan), but also energy consumption. Aspects of the invention include a method, software, a scheduling module of a computer and a schedule.

Title: Noise shaping time to digital converter
Inventor: EK STAFFAN
IPC: H03L7/081
Filed: 2009-11-03
Abstract: Time to digital converter operates as follows, the time difference between a signal of interest and a reference signal is measured by operating a digitally controlled oscillator (110) at a first frequency (f1) during a first portion of the reference signal period and changing the operating frequency from the first frequency to a second frequency (f2) during the reference signal period as a function of the time difference between the signal of interest (Start) and the reference signal (REF). The time to digital converter continuously counts (150) how many signal transitions occur at an output of the digitally controlled oscillator during the reference signal period. The time difference between the signal of interest and the reference signal is estimated (130) based on the number of signal transitions counted during the reference signal period.
