Patent EP-1059748-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LANEMAN JERRY NICHOLAS
IPC: H04H20/30
Filed: 2000-05-15
Abstract: Techniques for processing received information in a communication system, such
that performance is significantly improved in the presence of certain types of interference.
In an illustrative embodiment, first and second digital sidebands are transmitted on either
side of an FM or AM host carrier signal in a hybrid in-band on-channel (HIBOC) digital
audio broadcasting (DAB) system. The compressed digital audio information in the
sidebands is encoded using an outer code, e.g., a cyclic redundancy code (CRC), and an
inner code, e.g., a complementary punctured pair convolutional (CPPC) code. A receiver
generates an error indicator based at least in part on a first decoding of the received
information. The error indicator characterizes interference associated with at least one of
the digital sidebands. The receiver then generates at least one alternative decoding of the
received information if the error indicator has a designated characteristic. For example, the
receiver may generate the alternative decoding by eliminating from consideration in the
receiver decoding process a designated portion of at least one of the digital sidebands. The
error indicator may be indicative of the presence or absence of a first adjacent interference
signal of a particular level within a frequency band associated with one of the sidebands, and
may be based on, e.g., a signal-to-noise ratio measurement generated from a pilot tone
associated with a given sideband, and/or an error flag generated using the CRC outer code
Portions of the given sideband may be eliminated from consideration via successive erasures
of sideband components, i.e., subbands, thereby resulting in an increase in the effective code
rate of the inner code.

Abstract: Data loss is reduced and bandwidth efficiency improved while tuning
an optical add/drop device comprising a hitless wavelength-tunable optical
filter. The hitless wavelength-tunable optical filter includes a broadband
reflective surface and a tunable filter surface, the reflective surface and filter
surface positioned adjacent to each other. Hitless tuning of the device is
accomplished by changing the point at which an optical beam strikes the
filter surface along a constant wavelength channel track whenever the beam
is incident to the filter surface region. Realignment to a position associated
with a new wavelength channel track is performed with the optical beam
incident to the reflective surface region. Repositioning the optical beam to
the filter region occurs at a location corresponding to the new wavelength to
be added/dropped and subsequent optical beam realignment within the filter
region is along the new wavelength channel track.

Abstract: A real time clock, suitable for use in mobile units in a radiocommunication system, is calibrated during production, and corrects for timing inaccuracies during normal operation. As a result, the accuracy of the real time clock's crystal oscillator is increased economically and efficiently. Frequency error correction is performed by periodically adjusting the frequency of the real time clock by a fixed amount once for every interval of time defined by an adjustment value. The adjustment value is determined by a calibration procedure performed during manufacture of the mobile unit.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention is a method for forming a raised structure on a semiconductor wafer. In the method, a patterned masking layer is formed over a wafer layer. The patterned masking layer typically includes a first mask covering a first region of the wafer layer and at least one side mask adjacent to the first mask, covering a side region of the wafer layer. After forming the patterned masking layer, exposed portions of the wafer layer adjacent the masks are removed using the patterned masking layer. This leaves a first raised structure (relative to an adjacent removed area) in the first substrate region and a sacrificial raised structure in the side region adjacent the first raised structure. After removing the exposed portions of the wafer layer, the sacrificial raised structure is selectively removed while leaving the first raised structure intact. The sacrificial raised structure and overlying side mask typically reduce the area of the wafer layer which would otherwise be exposed during the removal. This facilitates the formation of the vertical sidewall on the raised structure.

Abstract: There is provided a method of, and apparatus for, analyzing a sample of an analyte provided as a sample solution comprising a solvent and an analyte. A dopant is provided, either separately or as the solvent of the sample solution. The sample solution is formed into a spray, for example in a nebulizer, and the solvent evaporated. The sample stream is irradiated in a region at atmospheric pressure, either in the liquid state prior to formation of a spray, or in the liquid state after formation of a droplet spray, or in the vapour state after evaporation of the sprayed droplets, to ionize the dopant. Then, subsequent collisions between the ionized dopant and the analyte, either directly or indirectly, result in ionization of the analyte. Analyte ions are passed from the atmospheric pressure ionization region into a mass analyzer for mass analysis. This technique has been found to give much enhanced ionization for some substances, as compared to atmospheric pressure chemical ionization.

Abstract: Disclosed are a recombinant vector for use in gene
therapy for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and a
therapeutic composition thereof. Following the injection of
a β-galactosidase expression vector having a K14 promoter
gene, along with a Drosophola's P transposase expression
helper vector, into murine skin in a liposome-mediated
manner, the β-galactosidase gene is expressed in the
keratinocyte layer from 24 hours to 20 weeks after injection
as measured by X-gal staining. With the enhancement effect
and tissue specificity, the K14 promoter is applied for the
expression of a human insulin gene in keratinocytes, thereby
suggesting a new gene therapy method for treating insulin-dependent
diabetes mellitus. When, in combination with the
P-element expression helper vector, a human insulin
expression vector with the K14 promoter is injected into the
skin of diabetic mice, which lack insulin-producing β-cells
of the pancreas, their blood glucose levels are maintained
in a normal range.

Abstract: A fractionated sample collection process and device having
at least one pressurized chamber used to gather and store liquid
samples generated from a flow stream containing a mixture of
highly compressed gas, compressible liquid, or supercritical
fluid and a relatively incompressible liquid. A bank of multiple
collection chambers is secured together in a frame to form a
cassette unit. Each collection chamber may house a replaceable
liner such as a test tube vial, to hold a fractionated liquid
phase sample. After filling with sample, a collection chamber is
returned to a clean state and ready for refilling with a new
sample by manually or automatically replacing the liner. The
separation and collection process partitions the liquid phase,
containing modifier and dissolved sample components from the
gaseous phase components upstream of the collection chamber so
that liquid phase has controlled discharge into the collection
chamber. Movement and replacement of collection chamber liners
to capture liquid fractions can be manually or robotically
controlled. Automatic replacement of liners increases the speed
of production as well as quality control by preventing drips and
spills and possible carryover contamination of samples. The
system provides extremely efficient and controllable gas and
liquid phase separation, thereby effecting up to 98% injection
recovery. The collection process is environmentally friendly and
economical because it eliminates additional uses of solvents to
collect, trap, or recover fractions. In addition, the process
eliminates any additional cleaning solvents associated with
mechanical phase-separation devices. The invention promotes high
speed, high volume, and high quality fractionated SFC sample
production.
