IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2008-04-18
Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically adjusting the transmission time interval (TTI) for a communications system are presented. The described aspects provide for dynamically adjusting the TTI in a communication session between a base station or nodeB and a wireless device or user equipment between a shorter TTI, which can provide increased data throughput and lower power consumption, and a longer TTI, which can provide more rugged communication link connections. By dynamically adjusting the TTI, the communications link can be optimized for the given communication channel conditions. Determinations, based on indicia related to the communications system conditions, can be employed in dynamic TTI adjustment. These determinations can be formed centrally at the Radio Network Controller (RNC), at the RNC supplemented with user equipment (UE) available information, or formed in a distributed manner between the RNC and UE across a communications system.

Inventor: PARMEGGIANI FABIO
IPC: A61K38/17
Filed: 2008-09-23
Abstract: The invention relates to collections of target-specific designed binding proteins based on armadillo repeat proteins, and to a method of generating them. Designed armadillo repeat proteins are based on consensus sequences of single armadillo repeat units. These repeat proteins can be used as scaffolds for peptide recognition.  Such a scaffold provides a binding mode that is in principle the same for every small recognizable unit, e.g. an amino acid or dipeptide, allowing a precise and modular recognition of a peptide in extended conformation. The method allows to generate a series of modules recognizing these simple units, and to combine such building blocks to create a binding site for any desired peptide target without performing additional selections.
