Title: Programmable delay timing calibrator for high speed data interface
Inventor: HUANG CHI-JUNG
IPC: G06F1/10
Filed: 1999-05-24
Granted: 2010-05-11
Abstract: A graphics processing system (100) incorporates a calibrator module (150) into the system. As a memory module (120) continuously transmits a model data signal, the calibrator module (150) automatically increments the number of stages of delay (170), which are integrated into a delayed clock signal. Each delayed clock signal triggers the sampling of the model data signal by a plurality of latches (130). The calibrator module compares (220) each of these sampled data signals with the original model data signals. If the delayed clock signal is properly aligned with the model data signal to cause the two signals to match, the calibrator module stores a result signal in a "1" logic state (230). If the delayed clock signal is misaligned with the model data signal, the calibrator module will store the result signal in a "0" logic state (230). When all of the possible stages of delay have been activated by the calibrator module and the corresponding sampled data signals analyzed, a processor module determines the optimum number of stages of delay needed for proper alignment of the delay clock signal with the transmitted model data signal.

Title: Method to suppress number portability database queries
Inventor: PATEL MAHESH
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1998-10-29
Granted: 2007-09-25
Abstract: A system and method for suppressing redundant database queries between two switching points in a telecommunications system, where the switching points are unable to utilize the ISUP communication protocol. The system and method are implemented by using a parameter of the communications protocol to indicate whether a database query has been performed. When the receiving switch receives the information, the switch is suppressed from performing a redundant database query by the parameter of the communications protocol.

Abstract: A system and a method for position determination by impulse radio using a first transceiver having a first clock providing a first reference signal and a second transceiver placed from the first transceiver. The system determines the position of the second transceiver. The second transceiver has a second clock that provides a second reference signal. A first sequence of pulses are transmitted from the first transceiver. The first sequence of pulses are then received at the second transceiver and the second transceiver is then synchronized with the first sequence of pulses. A second sequence of pulses are transmitted fr om the second transceiver. The first transceiver receives the second sequence of pulses and the first transceiver is synchronized with the second sequence of pulses. A delayed first reference signal is generated in response to the synchronization with the second sequence of pulses. A time difference between the delayed first reference signal and the first reference signal is then measured. The time difference indicates a total time of flight of the first and second sequence of pulses. The distance between the first and the second transceiver is determined from the time difference. The direction of the second transceiver from the first transceiver is determined using a directional antenna. Finally, the position of the second transceiver is determined using the distance and the direction.

Title: Methods for profiling and classifying tissue using a database that includes indices representative of a tissue population
Inventor: JOHNSON PETER C
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 2000-06-23
Granted: 2011-07-26
Abstract: A sample of normal tissue specimens obtained from a subset of a population of subjects with shared characteristics is profiled in order to generate a plurality of structural indices that correspond to statistically significant representations of characteristics of tissue associated with the population. The structural indices include cell density, matrix density, blood vessel density and layer thickness. Alternatively, the sample of normal tissue specimens obtained from the subset of the population of subjects with shared characteristics can also be profiled in order to generate a plurality of cell function and/or mechanical indices that correspond to statistically significant representations of characteristics of tissue associated with the population. Structural, mechanical and/or cell function indices for a plurality of tissue populations are determined, and then stored in a database. The database information is then used to classify tissue specimens (e.g., human tissue specimens, animal tissue specimens, plant tissue specimens, food tissue specimens, or manufactured tissue specimens) provided by a user. In particular, a user measures parameters (e.g., structural, mechanical and/or cell function indices) associated with the user's tissue specimens and then compares this information to corresponding parameters for normal tissue in the database in order to classify the user's tissue specimens as either normal or abnormal.
