Title: Power converter
Inventor: ISHIZEKI SHINICHI
IPC: H02M7/48
Filed: 2014-08-27
Granted: 2016-08-11
Abstract: This invention prevents hunting oscillation in which a power-factor correction unit switches back and forth between on and off over a short span of time. If the value of a parameter associated with an input current (Im) to said power-factor correction unit (25) is greater than or equal to a first threshold, a power-factor-correction control unit (31g) turns the power-factor correction unit (25) on, and if the value of said parameter is less than or equal to a second threshold that is lower than the first threshold, the power-factor-correction control unit (31g) turns the power-factor correction unit (25) off. For a prescribed length of time (Tg) after the power-factor correction unit (25) switches from on to off or from off to on, the power-factor-correction control unit (31g) maintains the post-switch state of the power-factor correction unit (25) regardless of the value of the abovementioned parameter.

Title: Method of sample preparation for Maldi and automated system therefor
Inventor: WILES TIMOTHY
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2015-08-17
Granted: 2021-01-07
Abstract: Methods for preparing a biological sample for testing by Maldi where such methods are selected based on sample parameters. Maldi scores are obtained for a range of sample parameters (e.g. McFarland, dispense volume and number of dispenses). From the data, sample preparation parameters can be selected for a biological sample being prepared for Maldi testing. One sample preparation strategy uses multiple dispenses of sample with an intervening drying step, which yields more accurate Maldi scores, particularly for samples at the low range of McFarland values (e.g. below about 2).

Title: Re-synchronization management in LTE/LTE-A with unlicensed spectrum
Inventor: LUO TAO
IPC: H04W56/00
Filed: 2015-08-14
Granted: 2019-01-03
Abstract: Management of re-synchronization procedures for long term evolution (LTE)/LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems with unlicensed spectrum is disclosed. In managing re-synchronization procedures, a base station selects and sends out an enablement indication of the uplink and/or downlink re-synchronization procedure selected. The base station may select the re-synchronization procedures by itself or in coordination with neighboring base stations. Once the indication for the uplink re-synchronization procedure is received at a user equipment (UE), the UE performs its extended clear channel assessment (ECCA) check, but, when the ECCA check is successful, the UE will delay data transmission until the next re- synchronization boundary defined by the selected uplink re-synchronization procedure. With the delayed transmission, the UE performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) check prior to the re-synchronization boundary in order to determine whether the channel is still clear for transmission after the idle period.
