Title: Method and system for detecting electrophysiological changes in pre-cancerous and cancerous tissue and epithelium
Inventor: DAVIES RICHARD J
IPC: A61B5/296
Filed: 2006-12-06
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining the condition of selected regions of epithelial and stromal tissue. A plurality of electrodes are used to measure surface and transepithelial electropotential of tissue, especially breast tissue, as well as surface electropotential and impedance at one or more locations and at several defined frequencies, particularly low frequencies. An agent may be introduced into the region of tissue to enhance electrophysiological response characteristics. Measured and derived electrical properties facilitating diagnosis include DC potential, impedance, subepithelial resistance, epithelial resistance, capacitance, characteristic frequency, depression angle and transepithelial potential. Ambient and varying pressure measurements applied to epithelial tissue are also used for diagnosis. Improved diagnosis of tissue condition can be made based on the electrical properties and tissue electrophysiological response to altered ion transport and pressure. Devices for practicing the disclosed methods are also provided.

IPC: G09G5/00
Filed: 2007-02-20
Abstract: A virtual reality creating system including: a screen 1 including a projection plane of arbitrary shape; a distortion correction unit 3 which performs distortion correction for projecting image light onto the projection plane of arbitrary shape for a two-dimensional image signal to project image light onto a two-dimensional projection plane and then outputs the same; a parameter adjusting PC 5 which creates a distortion correction table as a correspondence map between the two-dimensional projection plane and a mesh model of the projection plane of arbitrary shape; and projectors 2a and 2b unit which project an image based on the image signal outputted from the image signal processing apparatus onto the screen. The distortion correction unit 3 receives the distortion correction table from the parameter adjusting PC 5 and performs distortion correction processing for each pixel of the two-dimensional image signal received by the image signal input unit with reference to the distortion correction table to generate the image signal to project the image light onto the projection plane of arbitrary shape. It is therefore possible to display images with reduced distortion of image light viewed by a viewer with a simple structure in real time.

Title: Rf-to-baseband receiver architecture
Inventor: DEVRIES CHRISTOPHER ANDREW
IPC: H04B15/00
Filed: 2007-02-22
Abstract: An improved receiver architecture and method for a wireless transceiver (e.g. for a headphone) is provided whereby the receiver, advantageously, enables the use of only one synthesizer circuit for both the RF-to-IF and IF-to-base band conversion processes which, in turn, provides for lower power consumption. The receiver includes an injection locked local receiver oscillator (Rx LO) which is used for the first mixing stage (i.e. the RF-to-IF conversion). The Rx LO 105 is thereby able to use a high-level harmonic of a relatively low reference frequency signal produced by that synthesizer (e.g. a fractional-N phase locked loop circuit (PLL)). The receiver further includes a tunable Q-enhanced IF filter 110 and complex sub-sampling and mixing down-conversion circuitry for the second conversion stage (i.e. IF-to-baseband conversion). The sampling frequency used for the second conversion stage is a harmonic of the reference frequency derived from the synthesizer (PLL). For example, transceiver channels may be designed on the basis that the RF frequency FR1 is assigned a value of (n±¼)~fs, where the frequency fPLL of the PLL may be chosen to be twice the sub-sampling frequency fs and the frequency fRx LO of the Rx LO may be nine times the frequency fPLL.

Abstract: A permanent magnet machine (PMM) has a kinetic portion (12) electrically coupled to a power conversion portion (14). Motive power is provided to the kinetic portion (12) by a torque applied to a motive shaft coupled to a prime mover, such as an aircraft engine or an automobile engine. A control circuit includes a switch (40) disposed between the kinetic portion (12) and output feeder cables of the power conversion portion. A first sensor (50) is effective to detect a first fault condition in either the feeder cables or the power conversion portion (14) and a second sensor (54) is effective to detect a second fault condition in the kinetic energy portion (12). The first sensor (50) is effective to open the switch (40) when a first fault condition is detected and the second sensor (54) is effective to apply a voltage to a winding (26a, 26b, 26c) within the kinetic portion (12) generating an opposing counter torque on the motive shaft where a combination of torque and counter torque exceeds a fracture yield strength of said motive shaft causing it to fracture. The second fault condition is then rendered safe while the prime mover may continue normal operation. (Drawing Figure 3)

Title: Collision-free group hopping in a wireless communication system
Inventor: CHEN WANSHI
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2008-01-11
Abstract: Techniques for supporting data transmission with little or no control overhead are described. In an aspect, data may be sent based on a hybrid scheme that utilizes a combination of group hopping for transmissions of new packets and static grouping for retransmissions of pending packets. For the hybrid scheme, a user equipment (UE) may be assigned different resource blocks in different transmission intervals based on a hopping pattern. The first transmission of new packets may be sent on resource blocks determined based on the hopping pattern. Retransmissions of each packet, if any, may be sent on the resource block used for the first transmission of packet. The UE may perform blind decoding to recover packets sent to the UE. In another aspect, semi-static group assignment may be used, and the UE may be assigned a group of resource blocks that may change periodically or based on trigger events.
