Abstract: Noise and interference can be independently measured in a multiple user Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system. Co-channel interference is measured in a frequency hopping, multiple user, OFDM system by tracking the sub-carriers assigned to all users in a particular service area or cell. The composite noise plus interference can be determined by measuring the amount of received power in a sub-carrier whenever it is not assigned to any user in the cell. A value is stored for each sub-carrier in the system and the value of noise plus interference can be a weighted average of the present value with previously stored values. The noise component can be independently determined in a synchronous system. In the synchronous system, all users in a system may periodically be prohibited from broadcasting over a sub-carrier and the received power in the sub-carrier measured during the period having no broadcasts.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel methods of synthesizing multiple copies of a target nucleic acid sequence which are autocatalytic (i.e., able to cycle automatically without the need to modify reaction conditions such as temperature, pH, or ionic strength and using the product of one cycle in the next one). In particular, the present invention discloses a method of nucleic acid amplification which is robust and efficient, while reducing the appearance of side-products. The method uses only one primer, the "priming oligonucleotide," a 3'blocked promoter oligonucleotide and optionally, a means for terminating a primer extension reaction, to amplify RNA or DNA molecules in vitro, while reducing or eliminating the formation of side-products. The method of the present invention minimizes or eliminates the emergence of side-products, thus providing a high level of specificity. Furthermore, the appearance of side-products can complicate the analysis of the amplification reaction by various molecular detection techniques. The present invention minimizes or eliminates this problem, thus providing an enhanced level of sensitivity.

Granted: 2012-01-10
Abstract: In a tool for installing cables, a handle is secured to a main body perpendicular to the handle. The main body houses a shaft that allows a chain to be fastened to the end of the shaft at the opening, which is in turn securely connected to cables. The handle can then be extended via an extension pole to the desired height in order to place the metal chain over beams in industrial buildings. Once the desired position of the cable is achieved the operator can then pull the release rope, which in turn pulls the shaft back and opens the chain notch and drops the chain. The chain will then drop to the floor enabling the operator to pull the cables up and over the beams, via twine that is attached to the chain, which in turn is attached to the cables.
