Abstract: The present invention relates to a receiver for high-speed numerical transmissions through Rayleigh channels noisy and dispersive in time and frequency in which an accurate estimate of the channel response is combined in an optimal manner with the received data sequence detection procedure. Specifically the a posteriori probability of the Markov chain of the states of the channel with intersymbolic interference are calculated recursively from the data received and from the updated channel estimate. The a posteriori probabilities calculated are used in turn by a Kalman estimator to record the channel variations. On the basis of the sequence of the calculated a posteriori probabilities the detection is then calculated symbol by symbol with the highest a posteriori probability having a small decision delay. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides fluorescent nucleosides carrying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, stilbene, tetracene or pentacene. The subject nucleosides may be synthesized using a C-glycosidic bond formation method employing organocadium or organozinc derivatives of the aromatic compounds and coupling with a 1- alpha -chlororibose or deoxyribose synthon. The  alpha -anomers of the coupling reaction may be epimerized to the  beta -anomers by acid-catalyzed equilibration. The fluorescent nucleosides act as a DNA or RNA base analogs and can be incorporated into nucleic acids. Resultant fluorescently tagged nucleic acids are useful as probes for target nucleic acids in tissues, solutions or immobilized on membranes.

Abstract: A method and system for downloading applications for controlling devices within a home audio/video network. Several consumer electronics products, e.g., television, VCR, tuner, set-top box (e.g., intelligent receiver/decoder, IRD), DVTRs, PCs, DVD players (digital video disk), etc., can be coupled within the network to communicate together via a standard bus (e.g, IEEE 1394 serial communication bus). In one embodiment, the HAVI network offers unique advantages consumer electronic vendors because the architecture offers for the home network many of the advantages of existing computer system networks. Namely, interconnected devices can share resources and provide open, well defined APIs that allow ease of development for third party developers. Devices are controlled using software abstractions of the devices or services called DCMs. The present invention provides a mechanism whereby applications can be downloaded, e.g., via a programmable intelligent device (e.g., set-top-box), and provide features and services within the network. These applications originate from a service provider, are transferred over a logical channel (e.g., the internet/TV cable, satellite broadcast) to the consumer premises and are instantiated on the intelligent device within the network. The application can query a registry of DCMs to determine its complement of functions and can ultimately control the devices of the network using the available DCMs.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for hybrid seed production comprising producing a conditional female sterile plant comprising a female-preferential promoter operably linked to a coding sequence which encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of a protoxin to a toxin, interplanting the conditional female sterile plant with a male sterile plant, applying the protoxin to the conditional female sterile plant, and producing hybrid seed. Viable seed formation is prevented on the conditional female sterile plant as a result of the conversion of the protoxin to the toxin in the female reproductive structures, and pollen production is prevented on the male sterile plant, thus allowing interplanting of the two parents of the hybrid cross in order to provide more efficient pollen transfer. Also provided are expression cassettes useful in the invention, plants transformed with the expression cassette, and novel female-preferential promoters.

Abstract: It is the object of the present invention to provide an industrially useful process for the manufacture of polyguluronic acids having degrees of polymerization less than 20 and substantially free of mannuronic acid contamination. Alginate salts of organic bases are quite soluble in aqueous solution, and remain soluble in aqueous solution throughout a hydrolysis reaction in the range of pH values at which the acidic hydrolysis is effected at a reasonably fast rate. Based on this finding, a solution containing 5 wt.% or more of alginic acid prepared by dissolving alginic acid in water by neutralization with an organic base is provided and then hydrolyzed under acidic conditions, followed by selective precipitation of polyguluronic acids under acidic conditions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A bottled water/tap water cooler and compact oxygen generator system combined within a single housing structure. The oxygen generator includes an air compressor for generating compressed air and uses two molecular sieve beds that operate one after the other. As a first molecular sieve bed absorbs nitrogen, up to approximately 95% pure oxygen is allowed to pass therethrough to a flow meter and into a diffuser which passes the oxygen into a purified drinking water reservoir supplied by the bottled water or filtered tap water. After the first molecular sieve bed is full, the second molecular sieve bed activates and starts absorbing nitrogen while allowing oxygen to pass therethrough, simultaneously, nitrogen is vented from the first molecular sieve into the atmosphere. The first and second molecular sieve beds alternate with one another allowing the system to run continuously by using timer controlled dual 3-way valves.

Abstract: A hydrofoil device is useable as a hydrofoil wing, propeller blade, etc. In a water flow, a relatively lower pressure is generated on a second surface (94) of the device compared with a first surface (96). Near the trailing end of the first surface a protrusion in the form of an adjustable interceptor (98) is provided. The face of this protrusion defines an included angle to the upstream direction of less than or equal to 90° so that water flow thereat is deflected back on itself thereby increasing the local pressure on the first surface. A second protrusion may be provided near the leading edge of the second surface (94) to encourage flow separation thereat. Air may be provided adjacent each protrusion to provide natural ventilation if the pressure of the water flow drops below atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: An electrostatically actuated micromirror light modulator that exhibits increased deflection range, better charge efficiency and improved electrostatic stability. A thin insulating membrane decouples the electron beam from the micromirror array inside the vacuum cell. The membrane is just thick enough to stop the incident electrons from penetrating through to the mirrors but is thin enough to maintain resolution of the deposited charge pattern. An equipotential layer beneath the mirror array prevents any attractive force from being developed due to the accumulation of static charge on the surface of the light modulator that may otherwise cause the mirror to snap-over and become stuck to the substrate.
