Title: Method and apparatus for achieving 180· phase invariant transmission in a pcm modem system
Inventor: KIM DAE-YOUNG
IPC: H04M11/00
Filed: 2001-02-01
Abstract: In a PCM modem system in which equivalence classes are used to communicate information from a transmitter to a receiver, a method is provided to solve the problem of 180° phase reversals in the communications channel which result in a garbled transmission. This is accomplished by re-mapping the equivalence classes into a form that can be differentially encoded and decoded such that equivalence class identity is not lost during a phase reversal of the channel. Referring to Figure 2, an incoming bit stream (10) is applied to a modulus converter ( 12) which is in turn coupled to a mapping block (14) which maps the output of the modulus converter to the type of structure shown in Figure 1 in which each equivalence class is provided with a label that includes a sign bit and magnitude bits.

Abstract: A biopsy needle (10), suitable for obtaining bone marrow biopsy cores, includes an outer tube member (20) having a lumen extending therethrough, and at a distal end (18) of the outer tube member (20) an opening is provided for receiving a biopsy core. At the distal end, the outer tube member (20) is generally oval in cross-section and thereby has an elongated dimension and a narrow dimension. An inner tube member (30) is slidable and rotatable in the lumen of the outer tube member(2) and has a set of pincers (32) at its distal end. With the inner tube member (30) slid through the lumen of the outer tube member (20) and the pincers (32) positioned at the distal end of the outer tube member (26) and aligned with the elongated dimension, the pincers are in an open position. However, the pincers (32) can be closed thereby to grasp and cut a biopsy core by rotating the inner tube member (30) so that the pincers (32) are aligned with the narrow dimension of the outer tube member. In another embodiment of the biopsy needle, the distal end of the outer tube member (20) has two spaced apart projections extending in the lumen, and by cooperation with these projections, the pincers (32) of the inner tube member (30) can be opened or closed to grasp a biopsy core.

Title: Convection cooking appliance with rapid preheat system
Inventor: MCFARLAND JAMES COTY
IPC: F24C7/08
Filed: 2002-09-06
Abstract: A rapid preheat control system, provided in a cooking appliance having an oven cavity, bake and broil elements for heating the oven cavity and a fan for developing an air flow current within the oven cavity, functions to actuate the broil element a higher percentage of time than the bake element during a preheat operation in order to decrease the required time to preheat the oven cavity for a baking operation, while specifically avoiding the need to increase the overall power rating of the cooking appliance. In one preferred embodiment, 100% of the heat emanates from the broil element, while the convection fan is operated either continuously or in a pulsating manner to quickly establish an even heat distribution in the oven cavity. In other embodiments, a portion of the preheat can come from the bake element, but simply in a much lower percentage than the broil element.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une composition chimique comprenant un groupe caractéristique composé d'un quencher (Q), d'un élément de fixation (T) et d'un ligand (L), qui s'associe avec un polymère fluorescent et le trempe. Lorsqu'on introduit un échantillon d'analyte, le ligand (L) se lie à un agent biologique cible, s'il est présent, et provoque la séparation de la molécule QTL du polymère fluorescent, ce qui donne lieu à un accroissement de la fluorescence détectée. On utilise le même procédé chimique de façon avantageuse en dosage compétitif. On peut également appliquer un champ électrique pour séparer la molécule QTL du polymère fluorescent. L'invention concerne enfin un technique de détection de cibles pour ces procédés.

IPC: F02M47/00
Filed: 2001-07-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for injecting fuel into a diesel engine combustion chamber is provided wherein a pre-pilot injection (225) is injected sufficiently prior to critical mass conditions being achievable to permit vaporization and formation of a substantially homogenous mixture before a critical mass exist. Preferably, a pilot injection (215) is injected after the pre-pilot injection (225) but at or before a point wherein a critical mass based on the pre-pilot (225) quantity is attained. This will result in a reduced heat release rate which in turn will result in a slower, smoother and more controlled build-up of pressure in the combustion chamber and thereby advantageously reduce combustion noise.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamically calibrating a base station in a wireless communication system, is presented herein. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, the system includes a base station for transmitting, receiving, and processing communication signals and a wireless communication device for communicating with the base station. The wireless communication device is configured to determine its location (e.g., using GPS information), to detect the arrival time of a first signal transmitted from the base station, and to calculate a line-of-sight (LOS) delay corresponding to the LOS distance between the wireless communication device and the base station. The LOS  distance calculation is based on the base station location information and the wireless communication device location information. The base station measures a round trip delay (RTD) corresponding to the delay incurred by the first signal and a delay incurred by a second signal transmitted from the wireless communication device back to the base station in response to the first signal.  The base station then determines a base station timing calibration error based on the LOS delay, the first signal arrival time, and the RTD, and dynamically calibrates the base station timing to compensate for the base station timing calibration error.
