Abstract: A handheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with disambiguation software. The device provides output in the form of a default output and a number of variants. The output is based largely upon the frequency, i.e., the likelihood that a user is likely to have intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. The learning function is disabled, however, when the relevant words are found to be in a special category for which frequency learning, i.e., frequency revision, is not employed.

IPC: A61K38/17
Filed: 2005-10-05
Abstract: The present invention discloses for the first time that the insulin receptor (IR) is a target of Herstatin, which modulates IR and IR-mediated intracellular signaling. In preferred aspects, Herstatin binds at nM  concentrations to cell-surface IR, up-regulates basal IR expression by several-fold, induces the accumulation of pro-IR, and stimulates insulin activation of the ERK pathway. Moreover, these changes in insulin signaling are accompanied by alterations in IGF-IR expression, IRS-2 levels, and the serine phosphorylation state of both IRS-1 and IRS-2. Preferred aspects provide novel therapeutic methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treatment of conditions associated with altered IR expression or IR-mediated signaling, including but not limited to insulin resistance syndrome, pre-diabetic conditions, metabolic syndrome, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, cardiac disease, diabetes-associated vascular disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes-associated lipid metabolism disorders (dyslipidemia), obesity, critical illness, neurodegenerative disorders, and combinations thereof, and cancer.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un article revêtu par un empilement de couches à faible émissivité à utiliser dans une fenêtre ou analogue. L'empilement de couches, ou le revêtement, peut permettre à l'article de présenter un des critères suivants : valeur de facteur solaire (FS) faible, valeur de sélectivité (Tvis/SF) élevée, couleur sensiblement neutre à des angles de visualisation normaux et/ou hors axe, et/ou faible émissivité. Lorsque des valeurs de sélectivité élevées sont obtenues, on obtient un rapport transmission visible sur facteur solaire (FS) élevé, qui peut dans certains cas représenter une caractéristique désirée. Dans certains modes de réalisation de l'invention, une couche de sous-oxyde (par exemple, NiCrOX) peut faire office de couche de contact sous une couche de réflexion infrarouge (IR) afin d'obtenir des valeurs FS faibles, une sélectivité élevée, et une bonne coloration.

Title: Parser for multiple data streams in a communication system
Inventor: WALLACE MARK S
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2006-01-24
Abstract: Techniques to parse data into multiple (M) streams with selectable data rates are described. The modulation scheme and code rate for each stream are determined based on the data rate selected for that stream. The modulation schemes and code rates for all M streams are used to determine a parse cycle and the number of puncture cycles for each stream in the parse cycle. A  sequence of puncture cycles is formed for the M streams such that the puncture cycle(s) for each stream are distributed as evenly as possible across the sequence. An encoder encodes traffic data in accordance with a base code (e.g., a rate 1/2 binary convolutional code) and generates code bits. A parser then parses the code bits into the M streams based on the sequence of puncture cycles, one puncture cycle at a time and in the order indicated by the sequence.
