Patent EP-1119018-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CARLSON ARTHUR
IPC: B01D59/48
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: An inverted orbit mass filter includes a cylindrical container located at a
radial distance (r out ) from its longitudinal axis, and a cylindrical collector
located at a radial distance (r coll ) from the axis and coaxially positioned in the
container to establish a plasma chamber therebetween. A uniform magnetic
field is axially aligned in the chamber and an inwardly directed radial electric
field is crossed with the magnetic field. A multi-species plasma including both
low mass charged particles (M 1 ) and high mass charged particles (M 2 ) is
injected into the chamber between the container (r out ) and a radial distance
(r in ) from the axis. In their relationship to each other: r out  > r in  > r coll . Inside
the chamber the multi-species plasma has a low collisional density wherein
there is a very low probability of particle collision. Consequently, with
respective cyclotron trajectories T 1  and T 2  for the particles M 1  and M 2 , when
T 1  < (r in  - r coll ) and T 2  > (r out  - r in ) then the particles M 2  will be influenced by the
magnetic and electric fields into collision with the collector, and the particles
M 1  will avoid the collector and, therefore, pass through the chamber for
subsequent collection.

Abstract: A telecommunications switch for switching protocol data units across
communications links connecting the switch into a communications network
and supporting multiple service types concurrently is disclosed. The switch
includes an ingress processor for receiving protocol data units from a
communications link, an egress processor for transmitting protocol data units
onto another communications link, and a switching fabric for routing protocol
data units from the ingress processor to the egress processor. The switch
includes a structure of queues and schedulers that is arranged to provide
concurrent class-based and flow-based queuing and scheduling of the
protocol data units. This arrangement allows an amount of switching
bandwidth to be guaranteed to protocol data units belonging to a given flow
and allows classes of service within the flow to be allocated a relative
proportion of that bandwidth. The structure is re-configurable in its
interconnection of queues and schedulers via a link list in which pointers to
the queues and schedulers are stored and updated as required.

Abstract: A programmable, flexible, vector correlation engine
for CDMA mobile and base station chip rate signal
processing. A correlator co-processor (CCP) (100)
performs the de-spreading tasks for a RAKE receiver,
early/late correlations for time tracking, and has
provision for coherent accumulation of different lengths.
The CCP (100) also performs energy estimation and non-coherent
accumulation functions. The CCP (100) can also
perform correlation functions required for delay profile
estimation, and for search/acquisition functions. The same
centralized Data Path (300) is used to perform all these
functions; a common controller (150) generates signals into
the Data Path (300) in response to tasks initiated by a
host processor (e.g., DSP). The tasks written into the CCP
(100) are performed effectively in parallel by the CCP Data
Path (300).

Abstract: The method involves dividing the communications channel in use into several sub-channels, each with its own sub-capacity as part of the overall transmission capacity and a sub-rate as its own data rate. A sub-capacity is defined for each sub-channel and a signal-to-noise ratio is derived, then the sub-channels are successively observed and the following steps conducted per channel. The sub-rate is computed depending on the signal-to-noise ratio to give a predetermined transmission error rate, the sub-rate is quantized and the sub-capacity is adapted to a rate varied by quantization. The capacity of another sub-channel is altered to preserve the overall capacity. Independent claims are also included for the following: an arrangement for data communications via an electrical supply network.

Abstract: A bi-directional communication system advantageously automatically
senses and reports problems to a central operator network management station and
operates with fewer subscriber service interruptions by detecting and correcting such
conditions before they result in subscriber service interruption. Specifically, a system
adaptively varies upstream transmission power level to prevent communication
interruption in a cable modem network. A method for adaptively adjusting
communication operation by varying a transmission parameter involves retrieving a
communication parameter from memory (215) and comparing the retrieved parameter
with a predetermined threshold (220). A message is transmitted to a CATV head-end
(225) at a remote site representing that the parameter value indicates adjustment of the
parameter is necessary.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, la caractérisation globale des gènes exprimés immédiatement après l'expression de p53 a permis d'identifier un gène appelé JFY1. La protéine codée par JFY1 s'est avérée être exclusivement mitochondriale et se lier à Bcl-2 et Bcl-XL par le biais d'un domaine BH3. L'expression exogène de JFY1 a résulté en une apoptose extrêmement rapide et profonde survenant bien avant celle résultant de l'expression exogène de p53. Sur la base de ses seuls motifs d'expression, de la dépendance à p-53 et des propriétés biochimiques, JFY1 est probablement un médiateur direct de l'apoptose associée à p53.
