Title: System, method and mobile telephone for providing signal noise reduction by spectral subtraction.
Inventor: GUSTAFSSON HARALD
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 2002-02-07
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing speech enhancement in noise reduction systems include spectral subtraction algorithms using linear convolution, causal filtering and/or spectrum dependent exponential averaging of the spectral subtraction gain function. According to exemplary embodiments, successive blocks of a spectral subtraction gain function are averaged based on a discrepancy between an estimate of a spectral density of a noisy speech signal and an averaged estimate of a spectral density of a noise component of the noisy speech signal. The successive gain function blocks are averaged, for example, using controlled exponential averaging. Control is provided, for example, by making a memory of the exponential averaging inversely proportional to the discrepancy. Alternatively, the averaging memory can be made to increase in direct proportion with decreases in the discrepancy, while exponentially decaying with increases in the discrepancy to prevent audible voice shadows.

Title: Method of processing a received signal in a multipath fading channel and direct sequence spread spectrum receiver
Inventor: SOUROUR ESSAM
IPC: H04B1/7113
Filed: 2002-10-17
Abstract: A direct sequence spread spectrum receiver for operating in a multipath fading channel comprises a rake receiver having plural rake fingers. Each rake finger demodulates a received signal from one of plural channel paths. The output of the plural rake fingers are combined. Each rake finger utilizes a select assigned delay to synchronize to a delay of the one channel path. A searcher periodically performs a channel search on the received signal to detect new delays of strongest paths in the channel. Plural trackers, one for each channel path, adjust the select assigned delays between searches performed by the searcher. A delay controller is operatively coupled to the searcher and the trackers. The delay controller compares new delays of the strongest paths from the searcher to the select assigned delays and reassigns one of the select assigned delays with one of the new delays only if the new delay differs from the one select assigned delay more than a predetermined threshold.

Title: Transient temperature control system and method for preventing destructive collisions in free piston machines
Inventor: UNGER REUVEN Z-M R Z-M
IPC: F25B9/14
Filed: 2007-05-28
Abstract: The free piston cooler transient temperature control system of the present invention eliminates collisions during the transient cool-down period in a free piston cooler upon start-up. The transient temperature control system incorporates a free piston cooler, having a cold head and a warm end, a cold head temperature sensor, a relational interface, and a temperature controller. The cold head temperature sensor senses the temperature of the cold head and generates a temperature signal. The relational interface is in communication with the temperature signal and contains a predetermined relationship between the cold head temperature and a maximum piston stroke during the transient cool-down temperature range. The relational interface generates a transient range maximum allowable stroke signal from the temperature signal and the predetermined relationship. The temperature controller is in communication with the relational interface and limits the piston stroke during the transient cool-down temperature range to prevent collisions.

Title: Anthracycline conjugates having a novel linker and methods for their production
Inventor: GREENFIELD ROBERT S
IPC: A61K31/7028
Filed: 1998-05-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel conjugates, methods for their production, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for delivering cytotoxic anthracyclines to a selected population of cells desired to be eliminated. The anthracycline conjugates comprise at least one anthracycline molecule linked to a ligand that is reactive with a cell population to be eliminated, the anthracycline having a keto group at the C-13 position, and being attached to the ligand via a linker arm and being bound to that linker arm via an acid-sensitive acylhydrazone bond at the 13-keto position of the anthracycline. The conjugates of the invention are therefore useful in antibody- or ligand-mediated drug delivery systems for the preferential killing of a selected cell population in the treatment of diseases such as cancers and other tumors, non-cytocidal viral or other pathogenic infections, and autoimmune disorders.
