Abstract: A system for the compression and decompression of sections of audio files is provided. A library of basic waveforms (20) is produced by applying selected digital initialization codes to a chaotic system. Each basic waveform is in one-to-one correspondence with an initialization code. A weighted sum of the selected basic waveforms is used to approximate a section of audio fileS (24). The basic waveforms are then discarded and only the weighting factors and the corresponding initialization codes are stored in a compressed audio file (27). When the compressed audio file is decompressed for playback, the stored initialization codes are stripped out and applied to a similar chaotic system to regenerate the basic waveforms, which are recombined according to the stored weighting factors to reproduce the original section of audio file.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment or prevention of RSV disease by modulating RSV infection and immunity. In particular, amino acid sequences in the RSV G glycoprotein, containing the chemokine motif defined as C-X-X-X-C (or CX3C), are identified that are essential in causing RSV infection and disease. The chemokine motif is biologically active and participates in virus binding to and infection of susceptible cells. The prevention or treatment of RSV infection is achieved by interfering with the motif, such as by administering a vaccine in which the motif is altered or by administration or induction of blocking molecules that inhibit the biological activity of the motif.

Abstract: In a radar, a frequency-modulated transmission signal whose frequency
varies in time is generated. The gain-frequency characteristics of an IF signal which
represents a beat signal between the transmission signal and a reception signal has its
peak at or below one half of the sampling frequency of an AD converter (8). The
gain-frequency characteristics of an IF amplifier circuit (7) is determined so that the
gain increases as the frequency increases at or below the frequency corresponding to
the peak, the ratio of change in the gain relative to change in the frequency becomes
smaller at short distances for which a saturation of a mixer (6) is caused, and the gain
is reduced at DC and in the vicinity of DC.

Abstract: A method of controlling data path routing in a network comprises assigning to a
path a priority for connection, reconnection and holding; calculating a route for the path
as a series of links between nodes (A to G); allocating resources to the path at each link
that it traverses, taking the resources from lower priority paths if required; monitoring
for failure of any link and disconnecting any path using the link resulting in path failure
according to the holding priority of the path or monitoring for a connect request
according to connect priority of the new path; on occurrence of a failure or connect
request, searching for a suitable route with free capacity; if no suitable route has free
capacity, then searching for a route which has sufficient capacity allocated to paths with
a lower holding priority than the reconnect priority of the path where the link has failed,
or the connect priority of the new path; taking over at each link the resources of the
path with the lower priority, such that the path is re-connected or the new path is
connected; and checking that a path with a lower priority whose resources are taken has
the lowest holding priority of any such path on each link.

Abstract: A method and system are described for controlling
decontamination of an emission control device (72) fitted to
an engine having two groups of cylinders (200a,200b). The
temperature of the emission control device (72) is maintained
at a desired temperature by operating some cylinders of an
engine (10) lean and others rich. These lean and rich
mixtures react exothermically in the exhaust gas and in the
emission control device (72) to generate heat. Efficient
contaminant removal is obtained by oscillating the mixture
air-fuel ratio about stoichiometric. This oscillation is
provided by adjusting the fuel provided to the rich
cylinders, or by adjusting the air provided to the lean
cylinders, thereby minimizing any torque disturbance
corresponding to the oscillations in exhaust air-fuel ratio.

Abstract: An electrically pumped VCSEL (10) and a method of its fabrication are presented. The VCSEL (10) comprises an active cavity material (14) sandwiched between top and bottom DBR stacks (12a, 12b), the top DBR (12b) having at least one n-semiconductor layer. The device defines an aperture region (25) between the structured surface (14b) of the active cavity material (14) and the n-semiconductor layer of the top DBR stack (12b). The structured surface (14b) is formed by a top surface of a mesa (22) that includes at least the upper n<++> layer of a p<++>/n<++> tunnel junction and the surface of a p-type layer outside the mesa (22). The structured surface (14b) is fused to the surface of the n-semiconductor layer of the DBR stack (12b) due to the deformation of these surfaces, thereby creating an air gap (24) in the vicinity of the mesa (22) between the fused surfaces. The active region is defined by the current aperture (25) which includes the mesa (22) surrounded by the air gap (24), thereby allowing for restricting an electrical current flow to the active region, while the air gap (24) provides for the lateral variation of the index of refraction in the VCSEL (10).
