Title: Method, system and network entity for indicating hierarchical mode for transport streams carried in broadband transmission
Inventor: HAMARA ARTO
IPC: H04H60/73
Filed: 2003-03-03
Abstract: A method for transmission, a method for reception, a system, a transmitter and a receiver for signalling a hierarchical priority mapping of a transport stream (TS) to a receiver is disclosed. A way to separate tuning information between different TSs with different priorities. In a wireless hierarchical broadband transmission, preferably based on DVB-T, one signal may carry two transport streams: low priority (LP) stream and high priority (HP) stream, and both should be identified with their own respective transport_stream_id. One bit flag is added into a certain descriptor of the broadband transmission to indicate the hierarchy of the transport stream on which said descriptor is providing information. By the appliance of this priority indication or priority flag, the receiver can obtain hierarchy mapping of each transport stream announced in the administrative information of the broadband transmission.

Inventor: ODENWALDER JOSEPH P
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2004-03-05
Abstract: Systems and methods for improving the performance of direct-sequence spread-spectrum communication systems. In one embodiment, a system comprises at least one communication channel that utilizes two different orthogonal spreading codes and corresponding portions of the available orthogonal code space.  Portions of the data processed by the communication channel are demultiplexed (471) into different streams and covered (472, 473) with corresponding, different orthogonal spreading codes. The streams covered by the different orthogonal codes are then combined (475) and transmitted via the same communication channel. One embodiment utilizes at least two different Walsh codes of different lengths (+ - and + + - -) in order to make use of the three quarters of the Walsh space not utilized by low-rate legacy channels.

Inventor: GU MING
IPC: G06F15/00
Filed: 2004-10-20
Abstract: A method for obtaining at least one calibration filter for a Mass Spectrometry (MS) instrument system. Measured isotope peak cluster data in a mass spectral range is obtained for a given calibration standard. Relative isotope abundances and actual mass locations of isotopes corresponding thereto are calculated for the given calibration standard. Mass spectral target peak shape functions centered within respective mass spectral ranges are specified.  Convolution operations are performed between the calculated relative isotope abundances and the mass spectral target peak shape functions to form calculated isotope peak cluster data. A deconvolution operation is performed between the measured isotope peak cluster data and the calculated isotope peak cluster data after the convolution operations to obtain the at least one calibration filter. Provisions are made for normalizing peak widths, combining internal and external calibration, and using selected measured peaks as standards. Aspects of the methods are applied to other analytical instruments.

Title: Concurrent microorganism identification and susceptibilities
Inventor: TAINTOR READ ROBERT
IPC: C12M1/00
Filed: 2002-12-03
Abstract: A method and Kit for performing concurrent identification testing and antimicrobial susceptibility testing from broth culture are described. Broth incubation is generally 4 to 6 hrs providing adequate numbers of microorganisms for inoculating a multi-chambered kit plate comprising enriched, differential, selective, differential-selective, single-purpose an d susceptibility media. Several dilutions are prepared from the cultured broth , for inoculation of the kit plate. The more dilute concentration produces individual colonies of microorganisms, for identification testing. The isolation makes an initial isolation step unnecessary. The heavier concentration dilution provides a lawn inoculation for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (directly proportional to a Kirby-Bauer AST) as well as other identification tests. Antimicrobial susceptibilities are valid even wh en several different microorganisms coexist in the same test chamber. The metho d is fast for bacteria, providing identification and susceptibility data in 24hrs. The kit is complete, except for an incubator and microscope. The meth od is simple to perform and can be utilized almost anywhere. Novel agar-based media formulated with Iota carrageenan provides for a significantly long she lf life of the test media.
