Abstract: The invention relates to a method of measuring the quality of a service transmitted on a traffic channel between a transmitter and a receiver in a cellular radio network, and to a cellular radio network applying the method. The cellular radio network comprises a transmitter (260) and a receiver (264), which communicates with the transmitter (260) over a traffic channel (240) on which a circuit-switched service (270) is transmitted and which is consists of data frames and associated control channel frames. The transmitter comprises means (202, 204, 228) for transmitting user data (270) to the receiver (264) using data frames of the traffic channel (240), means (228) for not transmitting all data frames of the traffic channel (240) to the receiver (264) when the user data (270) are missing, and means (202, 204, 228) for transmitting control data to the receiver (264) using associated control channel frames of the traffic channel (240). The transmitter (260) comprises means (228) for calculating the number of all frames transmitted to the receiver (264) on the traffic channel (240) during a certain period. The receiver (264) comprises means (224) for calculating the number of all frames received on the traffic channel (240) and decoded correctly during a certain period. The cellular radio network comprises means (234) for calculating a quality value for a service (270) to be transmitted on the traffic channel (240) during a certain period by subtracting the number of frames transmitted during said period from the number of frames received during said period, and by dividing the difference obtained by the number of frames transmitted during said period.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of screening for a molecule that inhibits the expression or activity of a protein encoded by a target gene which affects the fitness of a cell. The methods are based on a co-culture assay, and entail culturing together two cell populations, each of which is a population of identical cells, of the same species that differs substantially only in the expression or activity of the gene to be targeted or its encoded protein and the presence or absence of a reporter gene. The screen can be applied to cultured cells, unicellular and multicellular organisms. Manipulating the expression or activity of the target gene sensitizes the host to a molecule which inhibits the target gene or its encoded protein such that the cell or organism comprising the manipulated target gene grows at a different rate from the cell or organism comprising the unmanipulated gene in response to exposure to the molecule. The methods of the invention can be used for identifying drugs, proteins or any other molecules that inhibit the function of proteins encoded by target genes.

Title: Sheet metal forming die assembly with textured die surfaces
Inventor: GARNETT MARK D
IPC: B21D22/26
Filed: 2003-11-04
Granted: 2011-03-15
Abstract: An improved stamping die assembly is provided for controlling the flow of sheet metal during the draw forming process. The die assembly includes a textured die surface on the one or both sides of the binder mating surfaces that replaces conventional draw and lock beads. The textured die surface can be formed using direct metal deposition of a hard material, harder than the existing die surfaces, on the existing die base material to achieve an engineered textured surface. The textured die surface optimizes the performance of the die by enabling longer die life, higher coefficients of friction between the mating binder surfaces and reduction of wrinkles and stringers typically caused by draw and lock beads in the draw forming process.
