Abstract: A medium access control (MAC) architecture reduces transmission latency for data block retransmissions. A plurality of data blocks are received and temporarily stored in a first memory (815B) (e.g., queue, buffer). The pluralities of data blocks are then transmitted. A determination is made as to whether each of the transmitted data blocks was received successfully or needs to be retransmitted because the data block was not received successfully. Each of the transmitted data blocks that need to be retransmitted is marked and temporarily stored in a second memory (815A) having a higher priority than the first memory (815B). The marked data blocks are retransmitted before data blocks stored in the first memory (815B) location.

Title: Piezoceramic composition, piezoceramic body comprising said composition and a method for producing said composition and said body
Inventor: BOEDINGER HERMANN
IPC: C01G23/00
Filed: 2003-05-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a piezoceramic composition with the general empirical formula Pb1-aREbZrxTiyTRzO3, in which RE represents a rare-earth element, selected from a group comprising europium, gadolinium, lanthanum, neodymium, praseodymium, promethium and/or samarium, with a rare-earth element fraction b, TR represents at least one transition metal, selected from the group comprising chromium, iron and/or manganese, with a transition metal valency WTR and a transition metal fraction z and whereby the following interrelation is valid: z > b/(4 - WTR). Homogenous PZT crystals with a maximum particle size are obtained even at low sintering temperatures by a non-stoichiometric dosing ratio of transition metal dosage to rare-earth element dosage. By varying the dosages, the piezoelectric characteristics of a PZT ceramic with said composition can be modified from those of a classic soft PZT to those of a classic hard PZT. The piezoceramic body is for example a monolithic, multi-layer piezoactuator, which can be used for multiple injections in the engine of a motor vehicle, as a result of a high d33 coefficient and low internal dissipation in the high-level signal range.

Inventor: EDELSON RICHARD LESLIE
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2003-11-07
Abstract: Methods are provided for suppressing the immune system response in recipients of transplanted organs, tissues or cells. An extracorporeal quantity of blood from the intended transplant recipient is treated to induce monocytes contained in the blood to differentiate and form dendritic cells. The maturation of the dendritic cells is truncated at a stage where the dendritic cells can inactivate T cell clones which would otherwise generate an undesired immune system response. The immature dendritic cells can be directly administered to the transplant recipient, or the dendritic cells can be co-incubated with the bone marrow or stem cell preparation, prior to transplantation, in order to suppress or eliminate anti-recipient donor T cells contaminating the bone marrow or stem cell preparation. The methods can be used to suppress graft versus host disease in recipients of transplanted bone marrow or stem cells, or to suppress rejection of transplanted organs or tissue.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des méthodes et des kits pour diagnostiquer une maladie caractérisée par des niveaux non physiologiques de protéine d'hepcidine, comprenant de la prohepcidine et des fragments de celle-ci. Les méthodes consistent à obtenir un échantillon de tissu ou de fluide d'un sujet, à mettre en contact l'échantillon avec un anticorps ou un fragment de celui-ci qui se lie de manière spécifique à un polypeptide correspondant à la partie médiane ou à la terminaison C d'une protéine d'hepcidine, puis à quantifier le niveau d'hepcidine au moyen d'un dosage basé sur la liaison de l'anticorps et du polypeptide. Le niveau non physiologique d'hepcidine indique une maladie. La présente invention concerne également des méthodes diagnostiques et des kits pour des applications dans le cadre d'approches technologiques en génétique, notamment pour la surexpression ou la régulation par réduction d'hepcidine. En outre, cette invention concerne un traitement thérapeutique de certaines maladies qui consiste à traiter des sujets avec de l'hepcidine et des agonistes ou des antagonistes d'hepcidine.

Abstract: In a configuration where a circuit board is divided into a digital circuit board (40) and a power supply circuit board (30) arranged at respective sides of an optical disk loader (20), the level of unwanted emission is reduced significantly by modifying the division of grounding patterns of the digital circuit board (40), and arranging a filter on the digital circuit board (40) adjacent to connectors (46-48). Accordingly, a metal case is dispensable, and a resin case can be employed. Therefore, the cost of a DVD apparatus can be reduced.
