Title: Method of screening candidate biochemical entities targeting a target biochemical entity
Inventor: JOSHUA SALAFSKY
IPC: G01N33/94
Filed: 2014-06-13
Abstract: Described herein are methods useful for screening candidate biochemical entities targeting a target biochemical entity and methods useful for identifying a binding moiety for a target biochemical entity. The invention provides methods of screening drug candidates targeting a target biomolecule, comprising selecting a drug candidate based on a signal difference between a first signal and a second signal. The signal difference indicates a difference in an in vivo or in vitro pharmacological property. The first signal is produced upon binding between the target biomolecule and a first candidate by contacting the target biomolecule with the first candidate, and the second signal is produced upon binding between the target biomolecule and a second candidate by contacting the target biomolecule with the second candidate.

Title: Methods and systems for transmitting data through an aggregated connection
Inventor: PATRICK HO WAI SUNG
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2014-08-08
Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for processing data packets received at a first network node and for processing encapsulating packets received at a second network node. The first network node receives data packets from its network interface. It then selects a first tunnel and selects none or at least one second tunnel according to a selection policy. Original en¬ capsulating packets (OEPs) are transmitted to a second network node through the first tunnel and at least one duplicate encapsulating packet (DEP) is transmitted through the at least one second tunnel. The second network node receives an encapsulating packet with a global sequence number (GSN) through an aggregated connection. The second network node determines whether one or more data packets corresponding to the encapsulating packet have been received earlier. The second network node may then determine whether or not to forward the one or more data packets.

Title: Communication system
Inventor: CHADI KHIRALLAH
IPC: H04W36/30
Filed: 2017-02-10
Abstract: In a cellular communication system in which base stations (gNBs) apply beamforming, a UE determines cell quality based on beam quality measurements for a plurality of the beams. This application concerns selecting which beams to use in the measurement of cell quality. Beam quality is measured for each beam of a cell. A threshold level is determined by applying a preconfigured offset from the measured quality of the single best beam. All beams within the cell which exceed this threshold are selected, unless the number of beams exceeds a preconfigured number, N, in which case the best N beams are selected. In one embodiment a serving and neighbor cell may be considered together, and the threshold applied to neighbor cell measurements is determined relative to the highest quality beam in the serving cell or the highest quality beam in the neighbor cell, whichever is of lower quality. In another embodiment the cell quality of a first cell is determined using those beams of a first cell which lie in a pool of the best M beams overall from first and second cells.

Title: Low power measurement of skin electrical properties
Inventor: LIAM RIORDAN
IPC: G01N27/00
Filed: 2018-06-05
Abstract: A measurement system for measuring an electrical property of skin comprises an excitation circuit 102, a receiver circuit 104, and a sequencer circuit 106. The excitation circuit generates a periodic excitation signal that generates a response signal in the skin indicative of the electrical property. The sequencer circuit activates the excitation circuit to provide the excitation signal to the skin. While the excitation circuit is activated, the sequencer circuit activates the receiver circuit to execute a first sample cycle to generate a first plurality of samples of the response signal. A first value for the electrical property of the skin is determined based at least in part on the first plurality of samples of the response signal. The receiver circuit is then deactivated before being reactivated in order to execute a second sample cycle to generate a second plurality of samples of the response signal. A second value for the electrical property of the skin may be determined based at least in part on the second plurality of samples of the response signal. The excitation circuit contains a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) 110 and the receiver circuit contains an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 120.
