Title: Control system for architectural coverings with reversible drive and single operating element
Inventor: COLSON WENDELL B
IPC: E06B9/68
Filed: 2004-03-04
Abstract: The present invention provides for retractable Coverings for architectural openings utilizing a control system having a single operating dement allowing a user to move a retractable covering between extended and retracted positions by imparting a repetitive motion to the operating element. The Control system may include an input assembly, a transmission, and an output assembly cooperatively engaging to convert linear movement of the operating element into rotational movement of a head roller in the required direction to provide movement of the covering in the desired direction and distance. The input assembly may convert linear movement of the operating element onto rotational movement imparted to the transmission. The input assembly may also engage the transmission to effect the direction of rotational output from the transmission. The transmission imparts rotational movement to the output assembly, which interfaces with the head roller to rotate the head roller and to provide a braking feature.

Title: Spirastrellolides, antimitotic macrolides and analogues; and pharmaceutical compositions and research tools thereof
Inventor: ROBERGE MICHEL
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 2004-04-15
Abstract: A series of novel antimitotic macrolides based on the structure of Spirastrellolide A, which was isolated from the Caribbean marine sponge Spirastrella occinea, are described.  Spirastrellolide A has a 47 carbon linear polyketide backbone incorporated into a highly functionalized 38 membered lactone containing a tetrahydropyran and two spiro bispyran substructures embedded in the macrocycle and a side chain terminating in a carboxylic acid. Spirastrellolide A's structure was elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis of its methyl ester. Spirastrellolide A methyl ester shows potent activity in a cell-based assay that detects mitotic arrest, but it does not affect tubulin polymerization in vitro. It has the unusual biological property of being able to accelerate entry of cells into mitosis from other cell-cycle stages, before it arrests them in mitosis.

Title: Data transmission with non-uniform distribution of data rates for a multiple-input multiple-output (mimo) system
Inventor: KADOUS TAMER
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2003-02-27
Abstract: Techniques to determine data rates for a number of data streams transmitted via a number of transmission channels (or transmit antennas) in a multi-channel (e.g., MIMO) communication system. In one method, the "required" SNR  for each data rate to be used is initially determined, with at least two data rates being unequal. The "effective" SNR for each data stream is also determined based on the received SNR and successive interference cancellation processing at the receiver to recover the data streams. The required SNR for each data stream is then compared against its effective SNR. The data rates are deemed to be supported if the required SNR for each data stream is less than or equal to its effective SNR. A number of sets of data rates may be evaluated, and the rate set associated with the minimum received SNR may be selected for use for the data streams.

Abstract: A human power amplifier assist device (10) includes an end-effector (14) that is grasped by a human operator and applied to a load (25). The end-effector (14) is suspended, via a line (13), from a take-up pulley (11), winch or drum that is driven by an actuator (12) to lift or lower the load (25). The end-effector (14) includes a force sensor (31) that measures the vertical force imposed on the end-effector (14) by the operator and delivers a signal to a controller (20). The controller (20) and actuator (12) are structured in such a way that a predetermined percentage of the force necessary to lift or lower the load (25) is applied by the actuator (12), with the remaining force being supplied by the operator. The load (25) thus feels lighter to the operator, but the operator does not lose the sense of lifting against both the gravitation and inertial forces originating in the load (25).
