Patent EP-1037439-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FRANTZESKAKIS EMMANUEL
IPC: H04L27/233
Filed: 1999-07-06
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and an apparatus for differentially coherent
reception in Offset Differential QPSK (ODQPSK) signaling and some Continuous Phase
Modulation (CPM) signaling schemes. The method is operative in a receiver structure which
is essentially characterised by one of two alternative types of differentially coherent
demodulator followed by a two-input recursive computation means responsible for the
simultaneous soft differential decoding and channel equalisation. One demodulator type
involves correlation of the received intermediate frequency signal with two delayed versions
of it, wherein the delay times differ by a half transmission bit period and low pass filtering.
The second demodulator type involves successive down-conversion of the received
intermediate frequency signal by using a free running local oscillator, matched filtering,
phase extraction, phase differentiation and differential phase delaying by a half transmission
bit period. The invention more particularly applies to wireless local loop, to satellite links,
and to mobile radio communications.

Abstract: The Multiple Collector Trolley (MCT) is a new type of mobile tap which furnishes electric
power to transport vehides, drawing it from trolley wires, single- or multi-phase, with
one or more conductors. 
     The salient features of the Multiple Collector Trolley, which distinguish it from other
systems at present in use, are:
     it can establish electrical contact with the trolley wires, through one or more
conductors, at any point whatever of the contact surface; it does not require the
provision of any guide for lateral constraint of the trolley wires;   contact with and disconnection from the trolley wires can be realized under any
conditions, with the vehide stationary or in motion;   it permits even discontinuous power supply to the vehicle, when provided with
storage batteries, without requiring any interruption of service;   the trolley wires can be realized in separate sections and can be interrupted in
correspondence with road crossings, underpasses, and wherever there may be
special problems;   use of the device does not require any great modification of the means of transport
at present in service.

Abstract: One can predict the likelihood a child will outgrow an allergy, especially a food allergy, by screening for IgE antibodies immunoreactivities with linear versus conformational epitopes. The child is first screened using standard techniques to determine what antigens the child is allergic to. The immunoglobulins in the sample from the patient are then characterised either using the natural purified antigen, recombinant antigen, reduced and alkylated antigen, proteolytic fragments of the antigen or synthetic peptides of between 4 and 40 amino acids in length, which can be immobilised for rapid and accurate screening. The antibodies from the patient are reacted with the protein or peptides to determine which peptides are bound by the antibodies. These antibodies are then characterised to determine if the epitopes they bind are linear or conformational. Those patients having antibodies primarily reactive with conformational epitopes will typically outgrow their allergies. A similar method for evaluation of IgG antibodies can be used to predict the prognosis of certain inflammatory disorders.
