Abstract: Selective acceptance of short messages enables a cellular subscriber to predetermine which short message will actually be delivered to the subscriber's mobile station. Using an Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) transmission, the subscriber determines which selection criteria will be used and then builds in the network Home Location Register (HLR) a list of originating entities from which short messages will either be accepted or rejected. A screening application resident on the HLR then determines the identity of the entity associated with any request for short message routing information and causes the short message to be delivered or deleted according to the input provided by the subscriber. A confirmation message is returned to the originating entity indicating delivery or the reason for failure.

Title: Methods of treating tardive dyskinesia and other movement disorders
Inventor: FOGEL BARRY S
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 1999-01-13
Abstract: The present invention describes novel treatments for movement disorders, including tardive dyskinesia and tardive dystonia, tic disorders, Tourette's syndrome, and blepharospasm, and other focal dystonias. The treatments of the present invention utilize agents that simultaneously act as NMDA-type glutamate receptor antagonists. Additionally, the treatments of the present invention utilize agents that simultaneously act as NMDA-type glutamate receptor antagonists and GABA-A receptor agonists. Preferably these two activities are characteristic of a single agent, for example acamprosate. Alternatively, separate agents having these activities can be combined and administered together. The invention also provides a third agent that can be used in combination with a treatment for movement disorders, that acts as a non-competitive NMDA-receptor blocking agent or ion channel blocker that augments the effect of the primary treatment. A particularly preferred ion channel blocking agent is magnesium. Alternatively, magnesium can be administered alone for prevention and treatment of movement disorders.

Title: A high-power selective signal attenuator and method of attenuation
Inventor: KOLSRUD ARILD
IPC: H03M1/18
Filed: 2001-02-19
Abstract: The high-power selective signal attenuator includes an attenuator attenuating analog main signals, and a first analog-to-digital converter converting output of the attenuator to digital. A digital-to-analog converter reconverts the digital output of the first ADC to analog, and a cancellor receives the main signals and the analog output from the DAC. The cancellor cancels the analog output of the DAC from the main signals to substantially eliminate high-power signals. A second ADC receives the output of the cancellor and generates a digital output. Based on the digital output, control circuitry dynamically controls the attenuation of the attenuator to prevent saturation of the second ADC and to improve information throughput.
