Abstract: A receiver for digital signals equalises the counted number of errors for each of the levels the signals may assume, by adjusting decision thresholds. The numbers of errors for each level are preferably derived from estimates which are used for error correction decoding. While it is envisaged that such an arrangement will be used mainly for the reception of binary signals, it is also applicable to the reception of signals with more than two levels. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining a target bit rate in a speech coder includes a speech coder for encoding a frame at a preselected encoding rate, computing a running average bit rate for a predefined number of encoded frames, subtracting the running average bit rate from a predefined target average bit rate, and dividing the difference by the preselected encoding rate. If the quotient value is negative, a predefined number of possible occurrence counts of speech coder performance threshold values that are less than a current performance threshold value is accumulated, the accumulated number being greater than the absolute value of the quotient. The product of a decrement-per-occurrence-count-value and the predefined number of occurrence counts is subtracted from the current performance threshold value to obtain a new performance threshold value. If the quotient value is positive, a predefined number of possible occurrence counts of speech coder performance threshold values that are greater than the current performance threshold value is accumulated, the accumulated number being greater than the quotient. The product of an increment-per-occurrence-count-value and the predefined number of occurrence counts is added to the current performance threshold value to obtain a new performance.

Abstract: This invention describes a method to kill cancer cells by acute elevation of cellular malonyl Coenzyme A (Malonyl CoA) which leads to apoptosis. Elevation of malonyl CoA may be induced by inhibition of fatty acid synthase (FAS), or by other manipulation of fatty acid metabolism tht does not involve inhibition of FAS. Alternatively, growth of tumor cells may be induced by a combination of effects including FAS inhibition in conjunction with other interventions which affect fatty acid metabolism, including inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1). Any combination of drugs which produces an analogous physiologic effect(s) may be expected to lead to the same effect on susceptible tumor cells. For example, combination therapy with drug(s) that inhibit the fatty acid synthesis by inhibiting acetyl CoA carboxylase (the first enzyme in the fatty acid synthesis pathway) and drug(s) that inhibit CPT-1 may be expected to induce apoptosis in tumor cells. Therefore, this invention encompasses any method to systemically modify fatty acid metabolism in cancer cells including but not limited to direct inhibition of CPT-1 through small molecule inhibitors such as etomoxir, as well as inhibition of CPT-1 incidental to increasing the level of malonyl CoA in cancer cells.

Abstract: A callback service for completing a call from a calling party to a mobile station of a called party that was not previously completed due to no response. After the call was not completed due to no response, the mobile station is monitored to determine if it has moved, and when movement is determined to have occurred, a callback is initiated between the calling party and the called party. The movement is a good indication that the called party has moved the mobile station and may therefore be available to receive the call. The movement of the mobile station is preferably determined by detecting that the mobile station has changed its location utilizing mobile positioning technology. The service will generally result in more calls being completed and in their being completed in less time.

Abstract: An echo cancellation device relies on the known characteristics of the sync frame to monitor, update in an off-line fashion and determine the accuracy of an echo canceller in, for example, a modem, such as an ADSL modem. Specifically, time domain samples are read from the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) paths of the modem. These samples are stored in memory. When the sync frame has received a predetermined number of the same Tx samples and Rx samples, the samples are stored. Running averages, over the sync frames, of the TX and Rx samples are maintained. These averages are subtracted from a sync frame of samples, to allow LMS updating of the echo canceller taps, free of extraneous signals. Updating, i.e., tracking of changes in the echo channel, is done for the echo canceller in an off-line fashion. The coefficients for the in-line version are updated, while the off-line version is updated over several sync frames. Periodically, the performance of the off-line version is compared with the in-line version. The coefficients of the in-line version are replaced by those of the off-line version only if it is determined the off-line version, which is tracking echo channel changes, has better performance. After replacement of the in-line coefficients, the off-line tracking is continued in the off-line version.
