Patent CA-2493808-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RANDO ROBERT F
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-07-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for screening and identifying compounds that modulate premature translation termination and/or nonsense-mediated messenger ribonucleic acid ("mRNA") by interacting with a preselected target ribonucleic acid ("RNA"). In particular, the present invention relates to identifying compounds that bind to regions of the 28S ribosomal RNA  ("rRNA") and analogs thereof. Direct, noncompetitive binding assays are advantageously used to screen libraries of compounds for those that selectively bind to a preselected target RNA. Binding of target RNA molecules to a particular compound is detected using any physical method that measures the altered physical property of the target RNA bound to a compound. The structure of the compound attached to the labeled RNA is also determined. The methods used will depend, in part, on the nature of the library screened. The methods of the present invention provide a simple, sensitive assay for high-throughput screening of libraries of compounds to identify pharmaceutical leads.

Title: System and method for improved uplink signal detection and reduced uplink signal power
Inventor: HAKKINEN HANNU
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2004-02-12
Abstract: System and methods (Fig.6) for improved uplink signal detection where when a mobile device detects signaling indicating the presence of a packet for that mobile device from a network node (S10), the mobile device may transmit one or more NACKs in a sub-frame before the one in which the mobile device would transmit normal ACK/NACK for the packet(S11-S-12). Additionally, the mobile device may transmit one or more NACKs in the sub-frame immediately following the normal ACK/NACK for a packet (unless a packet was transmitted in the immediately following sub-frame and successfully decoded by the mobile device, in which case an ACK would obviously be transmitted) (S13). Therefore, extra uplink (UL) interference is eliminated. Moreover, the amount that a network node must offset its ACK/NACK decision threshold is significantly reduced.  This results in a reduction of required ACK power by a mobile device.
