Patent CA-2416903-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DE BENEDITTIS ROSSELLA
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: The following invention defines a method of monitoring the power level in an uplink (i.e. from a mobile to a fixed station) transmission direction from a fixed station to mobile stations accessing it, facilitating the optimal transmission of mobile stations without the need for a two-way link with the fixed station. The method proposed is particularly appropriate during the network accessing phase, handover procedure or one-way transmission (e.g.  packet transmissions), where there is not (yet) a two-way link between the fixed and mobile station. It should be noted that, for packet transmissions, the link can be exclusively one-way, in the sense that the data-flow takes place in one direction only (e.g. uplink). Given that the command for the monitoring of power in uplink derives from the access network and excludes the signal received from the mobile station to be monitored, the method described herein is particularly advantageous, although non-restrictive, for Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) frequency division radio access techniques, in which the characteristics of the propagation channel in uplink are generally separate from those in the downlink direction (i.e. from the fixed to the mobile station). The invention is applicable to digital mobile telecommunications systems, such as for example Global Mobile Systems (GSM) and, in particular, third-generation Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS) access technique cellular systems, in which power monitoring fulfils an important function for the optimal use of radio resources and hence the entire system capacity.

Inventor: GAAL PETER
IPC: G01S19/40
Filed: 2002-03-01
Abstract: Techniques for determining the location of a device based on an initial coarse position estimate for the device, which is derived based on initial (less accurate) estimates of the position of a plurality of transmitters. In one method, the coarse position estimate for the device and revised (more accurate) position estimates for the transmitters are received. A revised position estimate for the device is initialized (e.g., to the coarse position estimate). An update vector is next computed based on the initial and revised position estimates for the device and the initial and revised position estimates for the transmitters. The revised position estimate for the device is then updated based on the update vector. The computation for the update vector and the updating of the revised position estimate for the device can be repeated a number of times to achieve a more and more accurate estimate.

Title: Expression of functional human olfactory cyclic nucleotide gated (cng) channel in recombinant host cells and use thereof in cell based assays to identify smell modulators
Inventor: PRONIN ALEXY
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 2002-07-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated nucleic acid sequences that encode human olfactory cyclic nucleotide gated (CNG) channel subunits, and the corresponding polypeptides. The invention further relates to the use of human CNG channels to profile, screen for, and identify compounds that modulate the human olfactory CNG channel. More specifically, the invention relates to the expression of the human olfactory CNG channel in cells, preferably mammalian cells, and the use of these cells in high throughput cell-based assays to identify compounds that enhance or block human olfactory CNG function.  Compounds that activate the olfactory CNG channel will enhance smell and can be used to make foods more palatable for individuals with attenuated olfactory function. Conversely, compounds that inhibit the olfactory CNG channel will inhibit smell and can be use to block malodors. Additionally, the invention relates to the use of cell-based olfactory CNG channel assays to identify modulates of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCRs) and other proteins that regulate cyclic nucleotide levels.
