Title: Triangle rendering using direct evaluation
Inventor: BI NING
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2004-03-17
Abstract: This disclosure describes an apparatus, such as a wireless communication device, that applies a direct evaluation technique to render triangles for the 3D graphical environment. The apparatus includes a rendering engine that defines a rectangular area of pixels, referred to as a bounding box, that bounds the area to be rendered. The rendering engine evaluates coordinates associated with the pixels of the rectangular area to selectively render those pixels that fall within the triangular area. The direct evaluation triangle rendering algorithm may require fewer complex operations than the more computationally intensive interpolation process employed by other systems. As a result, the apparatus may present a 3D graphical environment while preserving as much as possible the available power.

Title: Methods and apparatus of improving inter-sector and/or inter-cell handoffs in a multi-carrier wireless communications system
Inventor: LAROIA RAJIV
IPC: H04W36/00
Filed: 2004-10-15
Abstract: A wireless communications system, e.g., an OFDM system, uses a plurality of carrier frequencies each with an associated frequency band. A base station sector transmitter in the system transmits ordinary signaling, e.g., user data, in its own assigned band. In addition the sector base station transmitter periodically transmits beacon signals into its own frequency band and the frequency bands used by adjacent sector transmitters for their ordinary signaling. Beacon signals, being short duration high power signals with sector transmission power concentrated on one or a few tones, are easily detectable. Each beacon signal may be identified as to the source base station sector transmitter, e.g., based on tone. A mobile node, tuned to a single carrier band, receives a plurality of beacon signals, identifies the sources of the received beacons, compares the received strength of the beacons, and makes handoff decisions, without having to switch carrier band.

Abstract: A rotary milling cutter has a cutter body (200) mountable on an adapter (100 ). A first side of the adapter is provided with circumferentially arranged driv e pins (114a, 114b) centered about a centrally positioned, conically tapered male locating member (118). A first side of the cutter body is provided with circumferentially arranged drive grooves (214a, 214b) centered about a centrally positioned, conically tapered female locating member (232). The drive pins have a base portion (117) connected to a head portion (115) while the drive grooves have an insertion portion (216) connected to a retaining portion (218). During assembly, the first side of cutter body and the first side of the adapter are first moved into an initial mating position in which the drive pins (114a, 114b) enter the insertion portions (216) of the drive grooves and the male locating member (118) enters the female locating member (232). The cutter body is then rotated relative to the adapter (100) such th at the drive pins (114a, 114b) enter the retaining portions (218) of the groove s (214a, 214b). With the adapter retained in an inverted position with its dri ve pins (114a, 114b) extending vertically downward, the cutter body (200) may thus be supported by the heads (115) of the drive pins (114a, 114b) . A cent er bolt (230) normally resident in a throughbore (234) of the cutter body (200) is then screwed into a threaded bore (119) formed in the male locating (118) member of the adapter.

Abstract: A system and method for an improved multiple hard-disk-drive data-storage enclosure. Some embodiments position drives in counter-rotating pairs, each simultaneously accessing half the data, such that seek-caused actuator rotational-acceleration vibration cause simultaneous canceling rotational torque. Some embodiments position the edge of a first drive (or drive pair) at an angle to the actuator midpoint of a nearby second drive (or drive pair), such that rotational-acceleration vibration from a seek-caused actuator rotation in the first drive does not cause a rotational movement into the second drive that affects the tracking or seek operation. Some further embodiments position drives in a herringbone pattern to redirect air flow in addition to reducing rotational-acceleration vibration interaction. Other embodiments include a printed wire circuit board mounted to reduce the rotational-acceleration vibration interaction.

Abstract: Use of a database-enabled rules engine includes receiving and storing ECA  expressions in columns of a database table. ECA expressions specify (1) an event structure that defines an event that corresponds with the event structure; (2) conditions for evaluation with respect to occurrences of events that correspond with the event structure; and (3) actions for performance in response to events satisfying one or more of the conditions. During evaluation of the rules with respect to one or more events, an event is detected based on the event's compliance with the specified event structure and the conditions are evaluated by determining whether the event satisfies any of the conditions. If the event satisfies a set of one or more conditions that have a corresponding action, then the corresponding action is performed by the database or the database causes the action to be performed outside of the database.

Title: Cancer cell growth inhibition by black bean (phaseolus vulgaris l) extracts
Inventor: GUTIERREZ-URIBE JANET
IPC: A23L11/00
Filed: 2005-05-10
Abstract: A group of phytochemical compounds extracted from whole germinated or not germinated black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L) and/or their dry milled fractions such as seed coats or hulls and cotyledons is described. These phytochemicals are classified as phenolics, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, coumarins, and tannins, triterpenes such as saponins, phytosterols and other antioxidant compounds that proved to be effective to decrease cancer proliferation of hormone dependent mammary (MCF-7), hormone independent hepatic (HepG2) and colon (Caco2) cancer cells. They also effectively protect against chemical damage induced with DMBA and furthermore prevented cancer induced by this chemical in Wistar rats and also reduced tumor size when consumed after tumor detection. Methanol, acetone, ethanol, water and mixtures of these solvents were used to obtain the extracts from raw, cooked, and germinated black beans of different varieties, both from the whole grain and the hulls. The black bean malting process produced extracts rich in aglycone forms of the previous mentioned compounds that were more biologically active against MCF-7 cancer cell proliferation. Both raw extracts, C-18 HPLC refined extracts and fractionated extracts may be used in the treatment, prophylaxis, amelioration or defense against a variety of hormone dependent and independent cancers. The extracts and compounds have additional utilities, e.g., lower cholesterol or lower oxidation of LDL and/or inhibit cholesterol synthesis (or the enzyme therefor) and/or reduce liver fibrosis and/or reduce symptoms of menopause and/or stimulate calcium absorption and/or have estrogenic activity such as feminizing estrogenic activity and/or are antioxidants, for instance, as an active ingredient in a nutritional supplement and/or as a food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical antioxidants or colorants.
