Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for stopping iterative decoding in a turbo decoder performing iterative decoding on a received frame comprised of information bits and then outputting the iteratively decoded results. A turbo decoder sequentially outputs absolute LLR (Log Likelihood Ratio) values associated with the respective information bits of the received frame by the iterative decoding, and stops the iterative decoding in response to a stop command for the iterative decoding. A minimum LLR detector selects a minimum value M(i) among the sequentially output absolute LLR  values. A controller issues a command to stop the iterative decoding, if the minimum value M(i) is larger than a first threshold determined based on a minimum value F min among absolute LLR values output through previous iterative decoding.

Abstract: The inventors have isolated novel genes with a high homology to the T.  lanuginosus lipase gene and are thus well suited for use in gene shuffling.  Accordingly, the invention provides a method of generating genetic diversity into lipolytic enzymes by family shuffling of two or more homologous genes which encode lipolytic enzymes. The DNA shuffling technique is used to create a library of shuffled genes, and this is expressed in a suitable expression system and the expressed proteins are screened for lipolytic enzyme activity.  The expressed proteins may further be screened to identify lipolytic enzymes with improved properties. The invention also provides a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a lipolytic enzyme and a lipolytic enzyme (a polypeptide with lipolytic enzyme activity).

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for inducing magnetism in a flowstream of an at least partially magnetisable particulate feed material suspended in a liquid, the apparatus including: a treatment chamber having an inlet and an outlet through which the flowstream respectively enters and exits the chamber; and a magnetic source able to be selectively activated with respect to the treatment chamber, such that, when activated, the magnetic source induces magnetism in at least some of the particulate feed material located in the chamber. This allows the introduction of a high gradient magnetic field to effectively magnetise both the weakly and strongly magnetic particulates for subsequent removal by setting or other techniques. When the magnetic source is deactivated, the flow stream of feed material dissipates the deposits of magnetised material from around the source to reduce the possibility of any flow restrictions and maintain the effectiveness of magnets.
