Title: Method of synchronising data
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 2000-09-13
Abstract: A method of synchronizing data in a communications system includes generating a composite signal comprising a serial stream of data partitioned in one or more frames, and transmitting the composite signal to a receiver. Multiphase clock signals are generated. The composite signal received at the receiver is compared with each of the multiphase clock signals until either sustained coincidence therebetween is achieved or sustained non-coincidence is achieved, thereby synchronizing the receiver to bit boundaries in the composite signal and to one or more of the clock phase signals. One or more bit templates at the receiver is correlated with one or more corresponding bit templates in the composite signal received at the receiver to determine where frames start in the composite signal, thereby synchronizing the receiver to the one or more frames in the composite signal.

Title: Method and system for interpreting and validating experimental data with automated reasoning
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2001-08-22
Abstract: A method and system for interpreting experimental data with automated reasoning. Domain specific knowledge is acquired from one or more pharmaceutical information sources. A semantic representation of the domain specific knowledge is created meeting a desired set of criteria. Pharmaceutical data from a knowledge database is classified with the semantic representation, allowing construction of a set of reasons for any classified pharmaceutical data. The set of reasons may help interpret the classified pharmaceutical data to remove errors, such as "physical errors" and "biological errors". Removing such errors helps improve fusion of knowledge from multiple data, information and knowledge sources which incorporates activity and selectivity against a target, desired pharmacokinetic and toxicity properties enabling selection of potential pharmaceutical compounds. The method and system may improve identification, selection, validation and screening of new real or virtual pharmaceutical compounds or may be used to provide bioinformatic techniques for storing and manipulating pharmaceutical knowledge.

Title: Data transmission
IPC: H04B1/66
Filed: 1983-11-18
Abstract: @ A digital sub-band coder for audio signals provides for adaptive allocation of bits to (eg) two sub-bands. Estimation of the relative energy content of the bands is determined by reference only to those bits which are always transmitted, so that decoding can take place without the need for transmission of side information. Accompanying data may be transmitted in a fixed bit position, or may be by insertion of the data into the lower energy band. In the latter case, the data may optionally be duplicated in both bands when their energy contents are random. The invention can be applied to embedded ADPCM coders.
