Patent CA-2667161-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YOO TAESANG
IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2007-11-06
Abstract: Techniques for supporting MIMO transmission with layer permutation are described. In one aspect, multiple codewords may be generated for transmission from multiple antennas (e.g., virtual antennas), with the number of codewords being less than the number of antennas. Each codeword may be mapped across the multiple antennas. Two codewords may be generated. For rank 3, the first codeword may be mapped to one layer (or one antenna on each subcarrier), and the second codeword may be mapped to two layers (or two antennas on each subcarrier). For rank 4, each codeword may be mapped to two layers. In another aspect, a base CQI indicative of an average signal quality may be determined. A delta CQI indicative of improvement over the average signal quality may also be determined. In yet another aspect, selection may be performed with different penalty factors for different ranks or number of codewords.

Abstract: The present invention is transgenic chickens obtained from long-term cultures of avian PGCs and techniques to produce and transgenic birds derived from prolonged PGC cultures. In some embodiments, these PGCs can be transfected with genetic constructs to modify the DNA of the PGC, specifically to introduce a transgene encoding an exogenous protein. When combined with a host avian embryo by known procedures, those modified PGCs are transmitted through the germline to yield transgenic offspring. This invention includes compositions comprising long-term cultures of PGCs and offspring derived from them that are genetically modified. The genetic modifications introduced into PGCs to achieve the gene inactivation may also include, but are not restricted to, random integrations of transgenes into the genome, transgenes inserted into the promoter region of genes, transgenes inserted into repetitive elements in the genome, site specific changes to the genome that are introduced using integrase, site specific changes to the genome introduced by homologous recombination, and conditional mutations introduced into the genome by excising DNA that is flanked by lox sites or other sequences that are substrates for site specific recombination.

Abstract: A blood removal system for removing blood for diagnostic purposes includes a lancet, a lancet guide and a lancet drive with a drive spring, a cocking device for tensioning the drive spring in a cocking phase, and a rotatable drive rotor driven by the drive spring. An output-side coupling mechanism converts the rotational movement of the drive rotor in a driving phase of the lancet drive into a puncture movement. An end of the drive spring is connected to a rotationally moveable cocking element which is rotatable for tensioning of the drive spring in a same direction of rotation that the drive rotor rotates during a driving phase. The cocking element is arrested during the driving phase against a reverse rotation, so that once released the drive rotor performs a rotational movement which is converted by the output-side coupling mechanism into the puncturing movement of the lancet.
