Abstract: The linearity and noise performance of an inexpensive optical signal
source (16) are improved using either feedback or feedforward correction techniques.
In a feedback embodiment of the invention, a modulation signal (12), such as a
broadband analog CATV signal, is applied to the optical source (16) along with an error
signal. The error signal is generated in a feedback path (24) using a high-speed
photodiode (20) to detect a portion of the output optical signal generated by the optical
source (16). A delay compensation filter (26) in the feedback path (24) corrects for
variations in error signal delay as a function of frequency, such that source nonlinearity
and noise may be corrected over a broad bandwidth. In a feedforward embodiment of
the invention, an error signal generated from a portion of the output of the optical source
is converted to a frequency band outside of the modulation signal bandwidth before
being applied to an input of the optical source. A receiver receiving the optical signal
detects both the converted error signal and the modulation signal, and uses the detected
error signal to correct the detected modulation signal for the nonlinearity and noise
effects of the optical source. The invention allows inexpensive optical sources, such as
digital-grade DFB laser diodes or Fabry-Perot laser diodes, to be used in place of
expensive highly-linear, low-noise sources in analog signal transmission and other
important applications.

Abstract: A method of improving specific immune responses to small immunogens, haptens, has been developed by changing the linkage between the hapten and carrier being used for immunization. High affinity antibodies to the hapten cotinine have been produced using this method. Antibodies to a glycated protein have also been developed, utilizing an immunogen which is composed of a glycated peptide mimic of the glycated peptide sequence which is the target epitope, wherein the peptide mimic is constructed to conformationally mimic the conformation of the peptide in the native protein, the peptide mimic contains no charged groups or other immunodominant group, and the peptide mimic is connected to a spacer sequence equivalent to a peptide spacer of between one and thirty amino acids in length, which serves to position the peptide epitope in a conformation that approximates its conformation in the native protein. In a further embodiment the peptide mimic and spacer are linked to a carrier molecule. This method has been used to produce an antibody to the glycated protein HbA1c.

Abstract: To estimate the channel characteristics on the basis of the
time differences of the sample points, and to reduce memory
capacity and processing steps required for the estimation.
The first adder sums up detected pilot signals slot by slot,
while the second adder sums up ((sample number n) × pilot
signals) slot by slot. The output from the first adder
multiplied by (4N-2)/(N(N+1)) and the output from the second
adder multiplied by (-6)/(N(N+1)) are added in the third
adder. The output from the first adder multiplied by (-6)/(N(N+1))
and the output from the second adder multiplied
by (12)/(N(N-1)(N+1)) are added in the fourth adder. The
output from the fourth adder is filtered by LPF to obtain
output b (k) which is an inclination value of the channel
characteristics of a slot, while the output from the third
adder is compensated by FLT to obtain a (k) which is a bias

Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions et des procédés permettant d'améliorer une réponse immunitaire cytocide dirigée contre un type de cellule présélectionné chez un mammifère. Le principe repose sur une combinaison d'immunoconjugué anticorps-cytokine/inhibiteur de prostaglandine. Une fois administré à un mammifère, cet immunoconjugué induit contre le type de cellule présélectionné (par exemple, cellule cancéreuse) une réponse immunitaire qui, suite à l'immunopotentialisation via l'inhibiteur de prostaglandine, est supérieure à la réponse immunitaire induite par le seul immunoconjugué. Les procédés et les compositions considérés sont particulièrement efficaces pour détruire les tumeurs solides ou les cellules touchées par une infection virale chez les mammifères.

Abstract: The invention relates to radio systems and particularly to non-transparent data transmission in a mobile communication system where a mobile services switching center and a radio access network belong to different system generations. A second-generation mobile services switching center is also provided with a protocol unit supporting a radio link protocol of a third-generation radio access network. In such a case the radio link protocol is set up between the mobile station and the mobile services switching center without a radio link protocol conversion in an interworking unit of the radio access network. The radio access network merely transmits the radio link protocol transparently between the mobile station and the mobile services switching center, i.e. it extends the protocol to the mobile services switching center. When a handover of a non-transparent call is carried out between two radio access networks, the same radio link protocol units (in the mobile station and in the mobile services switching center) also remain after the handover. Possibly ongoing sequences of selective retransmissions and retransmission requests of the radio link protocol are not interrupted or disturbed, wherefore it is also possible to avoid the manipulation of buffer synchronization which might possibly lead to retransmission complications and loss or doubling of data as a result of the handover.

Abstract: The present invention provides an applicator for applying and distributing a substance onto a target surface. The applicator comprises a substantially planar sheet of compressible, conformable material (20) having opposed first and second surfaces and an interior region between said first and second surfaces. The sheet of material (20) has a thickness between the first and second surfaces which decreases when the sheet of material is subjected to an externally-applied force in a direction substantially normal to the first surface. The applicator further includes at least one discrete reservoir (50) extending inwardly of the first surface into the interior of the sheet of material which is at least partially filled with a substance and at least one discrete aperture (30) formed in the first surface which is in fluid communication with the reservoir. Compression of the sheet of material via an externally-applied force substantially normal to said first surface expresses product from the aperture and translational motion of the first surface relative to a target surface applies and distributes said product onto the target surface. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of apertures (30) are associated with corresponding reservoirs (50) forming a delivery zone near one end of a hand-held applicator, and the sheet material is preferably resilient both in compression and in bending to conform to irregular target surfaces. A wide variety of substances are contemplated, including particularly antiperspirant/deodorant products. Other embodiments include a single reservoir feeding a plurality of apertures.
