Title: Apparatus and method for merging pixels
Inventor: SPANNAUS JOHN FRED
IPC: G06T1/20
Filed: 2000-05-22
Abstract: A pixel merge apparatus and method has been implemented. Included is a configurable graphics device, which may serve as a standalone graphics engine, or as a master or slave in a master/slave configuration. In stand alone mode, the mechanism drives a display device with native pixel data. A device configured in master mode is operable for receiving pixel data from a corresponding slave device, and merging the slave pixel data with native pixel data generated by a rasterizer within the ASIC. Data is communicated between slave and master using a digital data link which may also serve to drive a flat panel display in standalone mode. A FIFO, active in the master, mediates the transfer of the slave pixel data and permits switching between native and slave pixel data with signal pixel resolution. Pixel data may be merged on a frame-by-frame basis, or in split frame mode wherein a first portion of the graphic shown on a display device constitutes native pixels generated in the rasterizer corresponding to the master device, and a second portion of the displayed graphic includes pixels generated by the rasterizer in the slave device.

Title: Altering gene expression with ssdna produced in vivo
Inventor: CHEN YIN
IPC: A61K31/7088
Filed: 2000-10-04
Abstract: A methods for altering expression of a target nucleic acid sequence in a target cell by production of single-stranded cDNA (ss-cDNA) in the target cell in vivo. The target cell is transfected with a cassette comprising a sequence of interest, an inverted tandem repeat, and a primer binding site 3' to the inverted tandem repeat. Transcription of the cassette by the target cell produces an RNA template which is reverse transcribed to produce ss-cDNA of a specified sequence. A reverse transcriptase/RNAse H coding gene may also be transfected into the target cell. The ss-cDNA is modified to remove all flanking vector sequences by taking advantage of the "stem-loop" structure of the ss-cDNA, which forms as a result of the inverted tandem repeat that allows the ss-cDNA to fold back on itself, forming a double stranded DNA stem. The double-stranded stem contains one or more restriction endonuclease recognition sites and the loop, which remains as ssDNA, is comprised of the sequence of interest, which can be any desired nucleotide sequence. This design allows the double-stranded stem of the stem-loop intermediate to be cleaved by the desired corresponding restriction endonuclease(s) and the loop portion, or sequence of interest, is then released as a linearized, single-stranded piece of DNA. This released (or cleaved) ssDNA piece contains minimal, if any, sequence information either upstream 5' or downstream 3' from the double stranded stem. The resulting ssDNA binds to an endogenous target nucleic acid sequence to alter the expression of that sequence for such therapeutic purposes as gene inactivation using duplex or triplex binding of nucleic acids, site-directed mutagenesis, interruption of cellular function by binding to specific cellular proteins, and interfering with RNA splicing functions.

Title: A method and apparatus for uplink scheduling
Inventor: DAM HENRIK
IPC: H04Q7/38
Filed: 2000-10-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for performing uplink scheduling of packet data when using adaptive antennas. In the solution according to the invention the uplink scheduling information is transmitted in an antenna beam towards the mobile for which the scheduling information is intended and by allocating mobile stations with similar position to the same packet data channel. All other data packets are transmitted in an antenna beam towards the mobile station for which the data are intended. By adopting the proposed solution it is possible to efficiently use adaptive antennas in a system carrying e.g. GPRS/EGPRS traffic. The carrier to interference gain introduced by adaptive antennas produces a pronounced increase in system performance.
