Abstract: In a code division multiple access (CDMA) communications system, a synchronization code is transmitted on a first channel. Information is selectively communicated on a second channel, e.g., a dedicated physical channel, to limit interference attributable to the synchronization code in a signal received over the second channel. In one embodiment, a slot configuration used on the second channel reduces the likelihood of time-coincidence of the synchronization code with information transmitted on the second channel having a higher level of sensitivity to interference, such as transmit power control (TPC) commands or pilot symbols. According to another aspect, interference associated with a synchronization code is canceled from signal received on the second channel to recover information originally transmitted on the second channel. In one embodiment, an estimate of a component of the received signal associated with the synchronization code is generated from the synchronization code and a channel estimate. The estimate of the interference component is canceled from the received signal to generate an interference-canceled version of the received signal, which is then processed to recover information originally transmitted on the second channel.

Abstract: A system and method for image compression utilizing adaptively sized blocks and sub-blocks of discrete cosine transform coefficient data is presented. A block size assignment element in the encoder selects the block or sub-block of an input block of pixels to be processed. The selection is based on the variance of pixel values. Blocks with variances larger than a threshold are subdivided, while blocks with variances smaller than a threshold are not subdivided. A transform element transforms the pixel values of the selected blocks into the frequency domain. The frequency domain values may then be quantized, serialized, and variable length coded in preparation for transmission.

Abstract: A method to evaluate the sensitivity of an HIV variant from a biological sample to at least one drug able to inhibit the HIV protease is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: a) amplifying the nucleic acid encoding the HIV protease from the biological sample, to obtain an amplified HIV protease coding sequence; b) cloning the amplified HIV protease coding sequence into a unique restriction site of a modified HIV molecular clone, wherein said modified HIV molecular clone is modified at least by deleting the protease coding sequence and by replacing it with the unique restriction site, to obtain a recombinant HIV molecular clone comprising and expressing the HIV protease coding sequence; c) introducing the recombinant HIV molecular clone comprising and expressing the HIV protease coding sequence into cultured cells, to obtain recombinant HIV transfected cells; d) measuring the level of HIV p24 antigen into the cell supernatant of the recombinant HIV transfected cells both in the presence and in the absence of the drug able to inhibit the HIV protease. The method is suitable for any HIV variant, both HIV-1 or HIV-2 variants. Diagnostic kits are also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for adapting a computer-to-computer communication protocol, and especially TCP/IP, or any protocol implemented in a general purpose off-the-shelf network like Ethernet, for use in providing communication needed in an industrial control system, and especially an industrial control system using a programmable logic controller (PLC), where there is frequent communication between the PLC and control or monitoring elements, the method aimed at allowing the PLC to perform scanning of its ladder logic at a rate adequate for effective industrial control. The method includes making permanent-type TCP connections between the PLC and a control element or a monitoring element, use of a protocol for communication with a control or monitoring element in which both a read register and a write register instruction is included in a single communication transaction, such as a MODBUS command, and tuning communication between the PLC and a control element or a monitoring element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions of starch. The compositions consist of an anionic and a cationic starch wherein at least one of the starches is waxy. The compositions are surprisingly not resulting in an agglomerated product when cooked. The compositions are used in paper or cardboard preparation. The compositions are cooked and added at the wet end of the paper production process. This results in a high possible addition level and the use of the size press is abolished. The resulting paper and board are shown to have better characteristics than the paper and board prepared with the same components which have not been mixed prior to addition but which are added separately.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for data communication in a variety of communication systems using spread spectrum techniques and multilevel sequences in which distinct multilevel sequences used contain binary subsequences that interfere constructively such that synchronous cross-correlation values add constructively. By adding two subsequences from different sets, it is ensured that neither subsequence belongs to the same set. This, in combination with use of correlators, reduces complexity and facilitates increasing the order of a modulation scheme, thus enhancing the bandwidth efficiency.

Abstract: Sustained transgene expression will be required for the vast majority of genetic diseases being considered for gene therapy. The initially high levels of expression attained with plasmid DNA (pDNA) vectors containing viral promoters, such as that from cytomegalovirus (CMV), decline precipitously to near background levels within 2 to 3 weeks. We have constructed pDNA vectors containing the human cellular ubiquitin B (Ub) promoter and evaluated their expression in the mouse lung. Cationic lipid-pDNA complexes were instilled intranasally (IN) or injected intravenously (IV) into immunodeficient BALB/c mice. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene expression from the Ub promoter was initially very low at day 2 post-administration but by day 35 exceeded the level of expression attained from a CMV promoter vector by 4- to 9-fold. Appending a portion of the CMV enhancer 5' of the Ub promoter (CMV-Ub) increased CAT expression to nearly that of the CMV promoter and expression persisted in the lung for at least three months, with 50% of day 2 levels remaining at day 84. In the liver, expression from the CMV-Ub hybrid promoter was sustained for 42 days. Since previous studies have shown that eliminating immunostimulatory CpG motifs in pDNA vectors reduces their toxicity, we constructed a CpG deficient version of the CMV-Ub vector expressing alpha-galactosidase A, the enzyme that is deficient in Fabry disease, a lysosomal storage disorder. After IN or IV administration, levels of alpha-galactosidase A from this vector were not only undiminished but increased 500% to 1500% by day 35. These results suggest that CpG-reduced plasmid vectors containing a CMV-Ub hybrid promoter may provide the long-term expression and efficacy required for a practical gene therapeutic.

A hollow slotted needle is mounted in the front of the gun shaped casing, the hollow needle having an inlet opening in communication with the guide groove and an outlet opening. The hollow needle includes an anti-back and a knife edge. An ejector slide is disposed within the gun shaped casing and movable back and forth therein. A feed slide is disposed within the gun shaped casing and movable back and forth therein. A feed cam is disposed inside the casing is rotably mounted at one place onto the casing and pivotally mounted at another place onto the feed slide. The feed cam includes a front surface having a pair of outwardly extending spaced apart pins. A feed pawl is disposed on the feed cam between the pair of pins, the feed pawl having a tooth for engaging the stub of a plastic fastener so that the cross bar of a plastic fastener to be dispensed is advanced into alignment with the inlet opening of the hollow needle. An ejector rod is mounted on the ejector slide for pushing a plastic fastener to be dispensed through the hollow slotted needle and a trigger link assembly is provided for moving the ejector slide and the feed slide back and forth within the casing. In the operation of the apparatus, movement of the feed slide back and forth will cause rotational movement of the feed cam which in turn will cause upward and/or downward movement of the pair of spaced apart pins on the feed cam carrying with it the feed pawl and movement of the ejector slide back and forth will move the ejector rod into and out of the hollow needle.
