Abstract: The weighting of transmission paths (U) of a communications network KN in which information is transmitted at different data rates is carried out in accordance with a weighting rule whose weighting work has an essentially linear dependence on the capacity MaxCR of the respective transmission path U. The weighting work thus remains limited even for transmission paths U with a high capacity MaxCR.

Title: Differentiating between input ranges in a passive keypad
Inventor: CLAXTON DANIEL D
IPC: H03M11/24
Filed: 1999-05-21
Abstract: A method and circuit for processing switch closures in a passive network (100) having switches (S i ... S n). The passive network (100) generates an output voltage in response to a switch closure. The circuit comprises a comparison circuit (206), coupled to the passive network, for comparing the output voltage to a reference voltage. A decoder (212), coupled to the comparison circuit, decodes the switch closure if the output voltage is within a predetermined range, and does not decode said switch closure if the output voltage is not within the predetermined range. The circuit differentiates between input ranges in a passive network keypad which allows the proper processing of meaningful key presses, while ignoring inadvertent or superfluous key presses, thereby conserving power and processor time.

Patent CA-2338008-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for identifying splittable packets in a multithreaded vliw processor
Inventor: HEINTZE NEVIN
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2001-02-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for allocating functional units in a multithreaded very large instruction word processor. The present invention combines the techniques of conventional very long instruction word architectures and conventional multithreaded architectures to reduce execution time within an individual program, as well as across a workload. The present invention utilizes instruction packet splitting to recover some efficiency lost with conventional multithreaded architectures.  Instruction packet splitting allows an instruction bundle to be partially issued in one cycle, with the remainder of the bundle issued during a subsequent cycle. There are times, however, when instruction packets cannot be split without violating the semantics of the instruction packet assembled by the compiler. A packet split identification bit is disclosed that allows hardware to efficiently determine when it is permissible to split an instruction packet. The split bit informs the hardware when splitting is prohibited. The allocation hardware assigns as many instructions from each packet as will fit on the available functional units, rather than allocating all instructions in an instruction packet at one time, provided the split bit has not been set. Those instructions that cannot be allocated to a functional unit are retained in a ready-to-run register. On subsequent cycles, instruction packets in which all instructions have been issued to functional units are updated from their thread's instruction stream, while instruction packets with instructions that have been held are retained. The functional unit allocation logic can then assign instructions from the newly-loaded instruction packets as well as instructions that were not issued from the retained instruction packets.

Title: Cancer cells from body fluids containing cells, isolation thereof and agents containing the same
Inventor: AUSTRUP FRANK
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-07-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for isolating cancer cells from body fluids containing cells. The invention also relates to sets for carrying out said method, cancer cells isolated from body fluids, cell lines established therefrom or derived cell constituents, the use thereof as therapeutic agents or targets, and pharmaceutical or veterinary products containing them. The inventive method is based on the idea that body fluids containing cells are comprised of different sized and different shaped cells and groups of cells.  According to the invention, body fluids containing cells or fractions of said body fluids are filtered in a sieve that retains cancer cells. The isolation and characterization of cancer cells is highly important, especially in the field of oncology, in order to respond to questions related to diagnostics, prognoses, therapeutics and scientific matters in human medicine and veterinary medicine. The inventive method also enables cancer cells to be removed totally from fluids or fractions (isolates) thereof containing cells.  The isolated cancer cells, cell lines established therefrom and derived cell constituents reflect a substantially native i.e. biological state that can be associated with corresponding cancer cells in a body fluid.
