Abstract: Bis(Fluorophenyl)alkylamides have been chemically synthesized which possess beneficial pharmacological properties (e.g., anticonvulsant activity) useful for the treatment of neurological disease or disorders, such as, for example, epilepsy, convulsions, and seizure disorders. The preferred compounds of the invention also cause little sedation and have high therapeutic and protective indices in animal models of epilepsy. These compounds further possess long pharmacologic half-lives, which, in practical clinical therapeutic application, should translate into once-a-day dosing, of great benefit to patients suffering from these diseases and/or disorders. These compounds may also be of further clinical utility in the treatment of other diseases and disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems, or diseases or disorders affected by them, including, but not limited to, spasticity, skeletal muscle spasms and pain, restless leg syndrome, anxiety and stress, and bipolar disorder.

Abstract: A MIMO communication system capable of adaptive user scheduling. The MIMO communication system comprises a transmitting terminal, which sends data frames containing at least channel estimation signal and user data, and at least one receiving terminal, which recovers the user data and generates corresponding feedback information. The feedback information comprises an optimal transmitting antenna set dedicated to the receiving terminal, the achievable channel capacity by each antenna within the antenna set, and the degradation factors caused by each of other unselected antennas to each of the selected antennas. Depending on the feedback information, the transmitting terminal generates scheduling information based on which the adaptive user scheduling is conducted. The scheduling information comprises the scheduled users, number of data streams supported by each scheduled user, and the corresponding transmitting antenna for each of the data streams. The invented MIMO system can achieve the optimal channel capacity through adaptive user scheduling.

Abstract: In order to more effectively utilise seed crystals 35, 55 to achieve a single crystal grain orientation for a component without the problems of utilising a helix constriction previously necessary to avoid epitaxial grain competition and growth. The present invention creates a wax component pattern 30. This pattern 30 comprises integral sections of wax for a mould component section and for a spacer section with the seed crystal 35 or holder for that crystal therebetween. This pattern 30 is then utilised in order to form a final refractory mould within which the component is formed. By appropriate choice of the spacer section 32, an appropriate spacing between an upper surface of the seed 55 which will be the initial interface with molten castable material to form the component and a chiller surface through which heat is transferred can be determined in order to achieve successful transfer of the seed 55 orientation to the formed component.
