IPC: H04J99/00
Filed: 2005-12-22
Abstract: The scheduler in a base station needs CQI information from a terminal for all reuse sets every 5 ms. to decide on which re-use set to schedule a given terminal. For MIMO users, the problem is that the CQI cannot be reconstructed for all reuse sets, using the current design. Solution: (1) For Multiple Code Word MIMO users, a MIMO VCQI connection layer message enables the base station to reconstruct the MIMO-CQI for all reuse sets on a packet-by-packet basis.  This will enable dynamic scheduling (RESTRICTIVE REUSE) gains. (2) For Single Code Word users, dynamic RESTRICTIVE REUSE can be obtained by changing the CQI  reporting format, and also sending a MIMO-VCQI connection layer message. (3) For Single Code Word design, quasi-static scheduling gains can be obtained by sending a MIMO-VCQI connection layer message.

Abstract: The invention describes compounds, compositions, and methods of using the same comprising a chemical moiety covalently attached to amphetamine. These compounds and compositions are useful for reducing or preventing abuse and overdose of amphetamine. These compounds and compositions find particular use in providing an abuse-resistant alternative treatment for certain disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), ADD, narcolepsy, and obesity. Oral bioavailability of amphetamine is maintained at therapeutically useful doses. At higher doses bioavailability is substantially reduced, thereby providing a method of reducing oral abuse liability. Further, compounds and compositions of the invention decrease the bioavailability of amphetamine by parenteral routes, such as intravenous or intranasal administration, further limiting their abuse liability.

Title: Method of reactivating thermally aged nitrogen oxide storage catalysts
Inventor: BAIKER ALFONS
IPC: B01D53/94
Filed: 2006-07-15
Abstract: Nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converters are used for eliminating the nitrogen oxides contained in the lean exhaust gas of lean-running engines. The purifying effect is obtained by the fact that the nitrogen oxides are stored in the form of nitrates by the storage material of the storage catalytic converter in a lean operating phase of the engine while said nitrates are decomposed and the released nitrogen oxides are reacted to nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water with the reducing exhaust gas concentrations on the storage catalytic converter in a subsequent rich operating phase. Storage catalytic converters age thermally as a result of elevated temperatures as the catalytically active precious metal components of the catalytic converter sinter and the storage components bond with the carrier materials. According to the invention, the formation of bonds by the storage materials can be largely reversed by treating the storage material with a gas mixture containing nitrogen oxide and/or carbon dioxide and steam at temperatures ranging between 300 and 500 ~C. The reactivation process can take place directly on the vehicle by adjusting adequate exhaust gas conditions or can be performed during routine maintenance by dismounting the catalytic converter and treating the same with a gas mixture in an appropriate apparatus.
