Patent CA-2637549-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KRUEGER BRIAN R
IPC: G01N21/89
Filed: 2008-07-15
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided to minimize waste and improve quality and production in web processing operations. The apparatus and methods provide defect detection both before and after application of component patches to a traveling web to create a product. Web defect detection may be provided by way of at least one visual inspection station located upstream from the patch applicator. Patch defect detection may be accomplished by way of a visual inspection station located proximate the patch applicator. If defects are detected in either the traveling web or the component patch prior to patch application, patch application may be prevented until both a satisfactory web and patch are provided. If defects are detected after patch application, the resulting product may be culled. Furthermore, the apparatus may be provided with diagnostic software to warn against extant or imminent machine complications.

IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 2007-02-26
Abstract: Selon l'invention, on détermine la marge de puissance disponible dans un réseau en augmentant les niveaux de puissance de transmission d'éléments de réseau choisis tout en transmettant un signal témoin, dont on mesure la qualité pendant les augmentations successives du niveau de puissance des éléments de réseau en mesurant le taux d'erreur dudit signal témoin. Dès que le taux d'erreur du signal témoin atteint un seuil prédéterminé, on détermine les niveaux de puissance des signaux sur le réseau. La marge de puissance est déterminée par la différence entre le niveau de puissance de la ligne de base sur le réseau et le niveau de puissance auquel le taux d'erreur du signal témoin dépasse le seuil.

Inventor: PEACH ROBERT C
IPC: G01R31/00
Filed: 2009-01-19
Abstract: Embodiments describe methods of correcting S-parameter measurements for a DUT. The method includes coupling at least one tracking module associated with a set of electrical standards to a S-parameter measurement device to form a test system. An initial calibration for the test system is then determined. This may include measuring the S-parameters of the electrical standards, generating a calibration along a calibration plane, generating a calibration along a correction plane and determining at least one error adapter from the calibrations. The DUT is coupled to the test system and the S-parameters of the DUT are measured. Changes in the initial calibration are tracked using the tracking modules. Tracking may include measuring the S-parameters of the electrical standards, generating a correction plane calibration and generating a corrected calibration plane calibration from the correction plane calibration and the error adapter(s). The measured S-parameters are corrected using the tracked changes.

Title: Medical valve with expandable member
Inventor: KIMBALL IAN
IPC: A61M39/26
Filed: 2007-08-10
Abstract: A medical valve (10) transitions between an open mode that permits fluid flow, and a closed mode that prevents fluid flow. To that end, the valve has a housing with an inlet (110) and an outlet (120), and actuator (330) moveable distally within the housing. The medical valve also has a resilient member (340) with an aperture (350). The distal movement of the actuator opens the aperture within the resilient member, thereby transitioning the medical valve from the open to the closed mode.

Title: Sending and reducing uplink feedback signaling for transmission of mbms data
Inventor: LU GUANG
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2007-08-20
Abstract: The present invention is related to a method and system for sending and reducing uplink feedback signaling by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) related to transmission of multimedia broadcast multi cast service (MBMS) data over a high speed down link packet access (HSDPA) channel. A Node B may pre-allocate a time frequency region or a common channelization code for the feedback. A triggering criterion for reporting a channel quality indicator (CQI) is set and WTRUs send a CQI to a Node B only if the triggering criterion is satisfied. The triggering criterion may be a current operating CQI value at the Node B, or based on erroneous transport block reception statistics, or a predetermined time period. A feedback reduction method related to ACK/NACK includes the WTRU sending an indication of an average number of transmissions needed to successfully decode the data instead of sending an ACK/NACK for every transmission interval.

Title: Enhanced expression of human or humanized immunoglobulin in non-human transgenic animals
Inventor: BUELOW ROLAND
IPC: C12N5/0781
Filed: 2007-08-29
Abstract: The present invention describes transgenic animals with human(ized) immunoglobulin loci and transgenes encoding human(ized) Ig.alpha. and/or Ig.beta. sequences. Of particular interest are animals with transgenic heavy and light chain immunoglobulin loci capable of producing a diversified human(ized) antibody repertoire that have their endogenous production of Ig and/or endogenous Ig.alpha. and/or Ig.beta. sequences suppressed. Simultaneous expression of human(ized) immunoglobulin and human(ized) Ig.alpha. and/or Ig.beta. results in normal B-cell development, affinity maturation and efficient expression of human(ized) antibodies.
