Patent EP-1233631-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SHERMAN ROMAN
IPC: G06F13/10
Filed: 2002-02-15
Abstract: The present invention provides for a virtual serial port (VSP) situated
between a serial port in a mobile electronic device, applications that require a serial
port connection handle, and other applications that require command-mode access to
the serial port. Data-communication applications (e.g. web browsing, e-mail, etc.)
connect to the serial port through the VSP. The VSP creates a virtual connection
handle that is returned to the application. Command-mode requests (e.g., short
messaging requests) are received by the hardware abstraction layer, translated into
command-mode messages (e.g., AT commands) and placed in a queue. The VSP
multiplexes the serial port between the currently-open data communication session
(data-mode) and command-mode messages by periodically suspending the
currently-open connection and processing one or more command-mode messages
that are in the queue. A buffer continually stores incoming data while the data
communication session is suspended. The VSP uses a heuristic calculation to
determine the maximum time interval for which the data-communication session can
be interrupted. The heuristic calculation takes a percentage of a time-quantum (e.g.
0.5 seconds) based upon the ratio of an average bit rate for air communication (e.g.
7000 bits/sec) and a bit rate for the serial port (e.g. 152,000 bits/sec). This ensures
that data-communications are not interrupted for a time interval long enough to
result in lost data-packets. The parameter for the time quantum and other
parameters may be statically or dynamically adjusted to account for a finite buffer
size in the hardware.

Abstract: It has been found that a urine test for ovarian reserve can be provided which is equivalent in sensitivity to current laboratory methods which determine ovarian reserve based on FSH levels in serum. A lateral flow device for indicating ovarian reserve is disclosed. The device has an application zone for receiving a urine sample, a labelling zone containing label which binds to FSH in the sample, and a detection zone where FSH-bound label is retained. The detection zone has a threshold value which corresponds to a serum FSII level of between 5-20 mIU/ml (e.g. 10 mIU/ml). A test result above the threshold value indicates diminished ovarian reserve.

Abstract: A power converter unit comprises a transformer (10) mounted on one side of a PCB (11), with the control circuitry on the other side of the PCB. The circuitry excludes any components which require scaling for different power ratings, or which are excessively radiation emitting or sensitive; such components must be added externally to the unit. The transformer is mounted with its aperture perpendicular to the PCB, so that the unit has a fixed footprint regardless of its rating; only its heights varies with rating. The transformer is wound with the high voltage/high frequency windings inside the other windings, which act as a shield for radiation from the former windings. The PCB also incorporates a Faraday shield.
