Abstract: A device (40) for measuring and registering statistical time variations in a measurement signal obtained when reading or playing an optical data carrier (34) has a controller (41) capable of receiving the measurement signal; storage means (49) with a plurality of addressable memory cells; means (47) for generating a ramp signal when receiving a start command from the controller (41); and means (48) for reading and digitalizing an instantaneous value of the ramp signal when receiving a read command from the controller (41). The controller detects a start event (A) in the measurement signal and gives a start command to the means (47) for generating a ramp signal. An end event (B) is detected in the measurement signal or in a reference or clock signal, wherein a read command is given to the means (48) fo reading and digitalizing. The controller receives a digital value of the measurement signal at the time of the end event. A memory address is generated as a function of the received value of the measurement signal, by means of which the numerical content is read at said address from the storage means (49). An arithmetic operation is performed with the read memory content as an operand, and then the result of the operation is written at said memory address.

Abstract: The vaccines and methods of the present invention are based on deletion mutations in the protein transmembrane domains of membrane-enveloped viruses. The strategy for production of these mutations is based on the fact that unlike mammalian cell membranes, the membranes of insect cells contain no cholesterol; thus are thinner than mammalian membranes. Many membrane-coated viruses have membrane glycoproteins on their surface which are responsible for identifying and infecting target cells. These membrane glycoproteins have hydrophobic membrane-spanning domains which anchor the proteins in the membrane bilayer. The membrane-spanning domains of these transmembrane proteins must be long enough to reach from one side of the bilayer to the other in order to hold the proteins in the membrane. Provided is a vaccine, a method of producing this vaccine, and a method of using this vaccine, based on the differences between membranes of viruses replicated in invertebrates and membranes of viruses replicated in vertebrates.

Abstract: A mobile satellite (MSAT) system is provided for establishing a single-hop terminal-to-terminal call between two terminals. The MSAT system maintains a signaling path between each terminal and a gateway station during the terminal-to-terminal call although a call path between the mobile switching center and the originating terminal is blocked by the satellite. During single-hop call establishment, satellite channels for the terminal-to-terminal call path and for signaling are allocated. The allocated channels are assigned when a direct satellite link for the terminal-to-terminal call is established; otherwise, the call can proceed as a double-hop call using previously assigned satellite channels. A verification signal is sent on the direct satellite link which is for processing by the terminals and which contains information that causes the signal to be ignored by a gateway station. During a single-hop terminal-to-terminal call, signaling from a destination gateway station to an originating terminal at another gateway station is sent via an intranetwork communication system connecting traffic control subsystems in different gateway stations and the satellite channels allocated to the originating terminal

Abstract: A method and apparatus for avoiding and or recovering from the latch-up condition in a quantized feedback DC restorer circuit for use in a digital data communication system receiver. An automatic gain control (AGC) circuit controls the level of the received data by comparing the AGC output with a quantized output signal from the DC restorer. A carrier detect circuit detects the presence of data transitions in the quantized output signal, and in the absence of such transitions continuously ramps up the gain of the AGC until such transitions are detected. The carrier detect circuit can be further used to disable, either entirely or partially, the positive feedback path of the DC restorer in the absence of transition in the quantized output signal. The present invention further provides an inherent muting function of the DC restorer output signal in the absence of valid data transitions.
