Abstract: The present invention relates  inter alia  to fertile non-human vertebrates such as mice and rats useful for producing antibodies bearing human variable regions, in which endogenous antibody chain expression has been inactivated. This inactivation leads to loss of ADAM6 genes located within the rodent heavy chain locus, said genes being important for fertility. Introduction of functional copies of said ADAM6 genes is shown to allow production of fertile mice.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for orthogonal modulation of signals using maximal length sequences and Hadamard transforms. Modulation symbols to be transmitted are arranged into sequences indexed from 1 to 2 n  — 1 for some integer  n . A constant is added to the beginning of each sequence, which is then multiplied by a Hadamard matrix of size 2 n  x 2 n . The resulting sequences will be orthogonal and will have a first value of zero. The first value is discarded, and the sequence are reordered and associated with m- sequences. The signal is then transmitted. A cyclic prefix may also be transmitted. Upon receiving the transmission, a receiver may discard the cyclic prefix or use it for channel equalization. The receiver may then reorder the received signal, insert a zero, apply the 2 n  x 2 n  Hadamard transform, discard the zero, and order the sequences again according to the index to retrieve the data.

Abstract: A turbine abradable component includes a support surface and a thermally sprayed ceramic/metallic abradable substrate coupled to the support surface for orientation proximal a rotating turbine blade tip circumferential swept path. An elongated pixelated major planform pattern (PMPP) of a plurality of discontinuous micro surface features (MSF) project from the substrate surface. The PMPP repeats radially along the swept path in the blade tip rotational direction, for selectively directing airflow between the blade tip and the substrate surface. Each MSF is defined by a pair of first opposed lateral walls defining a width, length and height that occupy a volume envelope of 1-12 cubic millimeters. The PMPP arrays of MSFs provide airflow control of hot gasses in the gap between the abradable surface and the blade tip with smaller potential rubbing surface area than solid projecting ribs with similar planform profiles.
