Title: Method and system for decoding multilevel signals
Inventor: HIETALA VINCENT MARK
IPC: H04L25/34
Filed: 2002-03-28
Abstract: A multilevel optical receiver can comprise a plurality of comparators that generally correspond with the number of levels in a multilevel data stream. Each comparator can be individually controlled and fed a decision threshold in order to decode a multilevel signal. The multilevel optical receiver can generate a statistical characterization of the received symbols in the form of a marginal cumulative distribution function (CDF) or probability density function (pdf). This characterization can be used to produce a set of epsilon-support estimates from which conditional pdfs are derived for each of the transmission symbols. These conditional pdfs may then be used to determine decision thresholds for decoding the received signal. The conditional pdfs may further be used to continuously estimate the fidelity or error rate of the received signal without the transmission of a testing sequence. The epsilon-supports may further be used to automatically control the gain on the receiver.

Title: Four-dimensional imaging of periodically moving objects via post-acquisition synchronization of nongated slice-sequences
Inventor: DICKINSON MARY
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2005-05-06
Abstract: When 'the studied motion is periodic, such as Or a beating heat, Q is possible to acquire successive sets of two dimensional plus time data slice-sequences at increasing depths over at.least one time period which are later rearranged to recover a three dimensional time sequence. Since gating signals are either unavailable or cumbersome to acquire in microscopic organisms, the invention is a method for reconstructing volumes based solely on the information contained in the image sequences. The central part of the algorithm is a least-squares minimization of an objective criterion that depends on the similarity between the data from neighboring depths. Owing to a wavelet-based multiresolution approach, the method is robust to common con-focal microscopy artifacts. The method is validated on both simulated data and in-vivo measurements.

Title: Method for production of cell strain capable of tetracycline-induced gene expression or cell strain having conditional gene knockout, and use of the cell strains
Inventor: SHIBAHARA KEIICHI
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 2007-10-23
Abstract: It is intended to provide a method of screening a so-called Tc inducible gene expressing cell line, in which the expression of a gene of interest is regulated depending on the presence/absence of a Tc compound regardless of the type of cell, easily with high efficiency. A gene-of-interest expression vector for transfecting a gene of interest into the genome of a host cell and a TA expression vector that expresses a transactivator that is switched to be bound or not to be bound to a tet operator sequence depending on the presence or absence of tetracycline are prepared. The gene-of-interest expression vector is a vector with a bicistronic regulatory sequence arranged downstream of the tet operator sequence and promoter sequence and between a gene-of-interest coding sequence and a selection marker coding sequence. These vectors are transfected into a host cell, and cell lines in which the selection marker of the gene-of-interest expression vector is expressed are selected. Thus, inducible gene expressing cell lines can be obtained in which the expression of a gene of interest can be controlled with Tc.

Title: Pneumatic tire
Inventor: KOUNO YOSHIHIDE
IPC: B60C15/06
Filed: 2008-07-14
Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire, which is improved in its performance especially on ice and snow and which is simple in its constitution. The pneumatic tire (10) has a two-belt structure, in which a width of a first belt (1W) is larger than a width of a second belt (2W) and in which the width of the second belt (2W) is within a range of 80 to 95 % of a tread width (TW). This constitution reduces the belt width of the second belts (14U) formed as a cross belt layer. Thus, even though the first belt (14L) has an enough width, the belt tension at the belt portion where the cross belt layer does not exist is reduced. Therefore, a leading angle of the tire outer surface in the vicinity of the ground-contact end of the tire becomes smaller. This suppress intakes of water slightly produced due to the ground contact of the tire into the ground contacting plane, thereby making it possible to improve the tire performances such as the driving performance and the breaking performance.

The hems of the side edges are expanded after being mechanically formed and prior to being sewn. The leading and trailing edges of the folded portions of the hems are aligned with the leading and trailing edges of the unfolded portion of the hem as the segment approaches the sewing machine (296).
