Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for providing electrical energy to a traveling spark ignitor operating in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The system may include a conventional ignition system connected to the ignitor and a follow-on current producer which produces a follow-on current that travels between electrodes of the ignitor after an initial discharge of the conventional ignition system through the ignitor. The system may also include a disabling element that prevents the follow-on current from being transmitted to the ignitor. The disabling element may prevent the follow-on current from being transmitted to the ignitor based upon current operating conditions of the engine. When the disabling element prevents the follow-on current from being transmitted to the ignitor the system operates in a conventional manner. When the disabling element allows the follow-on current to be transmitted to the ignitor the system operates in a in manner that creates a traveling spark between the electrodes of the ignitor.

Abstract: A wideband predistortion system compensates for a nonlinear amplifier's frequency and time dependent AM-AM and AM-PM distortion characteristics. The system comprises a data structure in which each element stores a set of compensation parameters (preferably including FIR filter coefficients) for predistorting the wideband input transmission signal. The parameter sets are preferably indexed within the data structure according to multiple signal characteristics, such as instantaneous amplitude and integrated signal envelope, each of which corresponds to a respective dimension of the data structure. To predistort the input transmission signal, an addressing circuit digitally generates a set of data structure indices from the input transmission signal, and the indexed set of compensation parameters is loaded into a compensation circuit which digitally predistorts the input transmission signal. This process of loading new compensation parameters into the compensation circuit is preferably repeated every sample instant, so that the predistortion function varies from sample-to-sample. The sets of compensation parameters are generated periodically and written to the data structure by an adaptive processing component that performs a non-real-time analysis of amplifier input and output signals. The adaptive processing component also implements various system identification processes for measuring the characteristics of the power amplifier and generating initial sets of filter coefficients. In an antenna array embodiment, a single adaptive processing component generates the compensation parameters sets for each of multiple amplification chains on a time-shared basis. In an embodiment in which the amplification chain includes multiple nonlinear amplifiers that can be individually controlled (e.g., turned ON and OFF) to conserve power, the data structure separately stores compensation parameter set for each operating state of the amplification chain.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of peroxovanadium compounds in the prevention of angiogenesis, restenosis and the production of endothelins, and as immunomodulators. Peroxovanadium compounds are preferred since they are more potent, and less toxic, than their "oxo" counterparts. Anti-angiogenic activity was verified <i>in vitro</i> against human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) as well as <i>ex ovo</i> using the chicken chorioallantoic assay membrane and in the rat aortic ring model and a Matrigel assay <i>in vivo</i>. Peroxovanadium compounds also decrease basal levels and inhibit the increase in plasma endothelins occurring following insulin induction in rats. It is proposed that peroxovanadium compounds are therapeutically-active anti-angiogenics and useful in preventing vascular restenosis by acting, <i>inter alia</i>, by inhibiting one or several protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) involved in the proliferation, differentiation and migration of cells or the secretion of peptides (such as endothelins and immunomodulators), or both.

Abstract: In a domestic communication and entertainment system (1), a plurality of devices (2-10) are interconnected by a databus (11). A first one of the devices receives a demand for a task requiring a communication session with an entity external to the system and the device transmits to a routing device (12) connected to the databus a request message for routing information which defines a preferred route for initiating the communication session. The routing device accesses a lookup table to obtain the information and transmits a response message comprising the routing information to enable the device to initiate the communication session via a preferred route. The lookup table is updated by wireless transmission from a control center. The system is enable to make optimum use of multiple communication systems available in the domestic environment by reference to routing information which can be configured to take advantage of network usage and other factors such as cost and availability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile station capable of determining its current location within a wireless communication system. The mobile station periodically generates an estimate of its current location or mobility and then monitors channels for channel selection based thereon in order to minimize frame stealing while in active mode and save energy during idle mode. The same information is also useful for determining which cells to monitor and controlling how frequently position or changes of position estimates are made. Although the invention requires a determination of the mobile station's position or mobility, the manner in which the mobile station determines these characteristics may vary. A separate positioning receiver, terrestrial or satellite based, such as that used with the Global Positioning System, may allow the mobile station to calculate its position. Alternatively, the mobile station may monitor signals provided during communications with the base stations to calculate a relative position. In yet another embodiment, the base stations and associated cellular systems may cooperate to determine a particular mobile station's position and then download the position to the mobile station. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to the purification of untreated water which is polluted with dissolved organic carbon compounds which can be biologically or adsorptively removed in a three-step process, whereby the upstream purification step is predominantly biological, i.e. operates as a biofilter (1), and both subsequent purification steps are predominantly adsorptive in nature, i.e. operate as adsorbers (2, 3). The biofilter (1) is purified by backwashing, whereby the backwashing periods occur according to the TOC determined between the biofilter (1) and the upstream adsorber (2) and/or running time and/or pressure loss. The upstream adsorber (2) is also cleaned by backwashing and is subsequently shifted into a downstream position alternating with the other adsorber (3). The method is suitable for obtaining TOC concentrations in treated water of less than 500 ppb.
