Abstract: Le circuit compteur diviseur double mode pour un synthétiseur de fréquence comprend plusieurs diviseurs par deux connectes en série du type asynchrone, un bloc sélecteur de phase (11) intercale entre deux des diviseurs (10, 12) par deux et un bloc de commande (13) pour fournir des signaux de commande (SO, S1, S2) au bloc sélecteur en fonction d'un mode sélectionné. Ledit bloc sélecteur reçoit quatre signaux déphasés de 90° l'un par rapport à l'autre d'un premier diviseur maître-esclave et fournit un des quatre signaux déphasés sélectionné. Les signaux de commande (SO, S1 , S2) sont fournis au bloc sélecteur pour la sélection d'un des quatre signaux déphasés (F2) en sortie dans une période de division déterminée. En fonction des signaux de commande fournis par le bloc de commande (13) dans un des modes sélectionné, le bloc sélecteur opère une commutation de phase a chaque période de division entre deux signaux déphasés sélectionnés par chaque branche. Le second signal déphasé sélectionné est en avance de phase de 90° du premier signal déphasé.

Abstract: An improved method of encoding data within directory files on an integrated circuit IC) smart card is shown. Advantageously the improved method no longer imposes a limitation in placing the pointer data start address prior to encoding of data, since after encoding a single continuous block of unused memory within the directory file results, enables encoding applications to make better use of this memory space thereby eliminating the deficiency of having two non-sequential empty memory blocks as provided by prior art systems.

Abstract: In the present invention a completely different approach for modeling of non-linear devices or processes is used. A cascade of blocks each depending on a non-linearity parameter are utilized both in non-linear modeling and a pre-distorter design. The new non-linear model description can be used for characterization of a non-linear system or for linearizing a non-linear system. Application to a Communications System Multi-carrier Amplifier is shown as an application example. Also for other application areas of the new mathematical method is feasible echo-canceling, non-linear communications channels etc. Parameter extractions and tables for the new model do not give multiple dimensional mathematical solutions for parameter extractions as in prior art.

Title: Methods and compositions for inducing an immune response
Inventor: SCHALL THOMAS J
IPC: A61K39/385
Filed: 2002-10-21
Granted: 2010-01-13
Abstract: The inventors have discovered that a CKbeta8-1 truncation variant, CKbeta8-1 (25-116), is a bifunctional ligand for two distinct GPCRs, chemokine receptor CCR1 and formyl peptide receptor like 1 (FPRL1). Hence, the inventors have discovered that, in addition to its functional activity on CCR1, CKbeta8-1(25-116) is also a functional ligand for the GPCR receptor FPRL1 that is involved in inflammatory reactions and innate immunity by recruiting monocytes and neutrophils. In addition, the inventors have discovered an alternatively spliced exon of CKbeta8-1, named SHAAGtide. SHAAGtide, along with its parent chemokine CKbeta8-1 (25-116), is fully functional on both monocytes and neutrophils that are known to express FPRL1. This application relates generally to enhancing immune responses. Such immune responses may be elicited by vaccine administration. Compositions and methods for inducing or enhancing an immune response to an antigen are provided. The compositions and methods are useful for vaccine formulations for therapeutic and prophylactic use (immunization) and for production of antibodies.

Abstract: A catheter for ablation of lesions within a tubular region of or near the heart comprises an elongated flexible tubular catheter body having an axis and proximal and distal ends. An ablation assembly is mounted at the distal end of the tubular body. The ablation assembly has a preformed generally circular curve having an outer surface and being generally transverse to the axis of the catheter body. The ablation assembly comprises a flexible tubing having proximal and distal ends that carries a tip electrode at its distal end. An electrode lead wire extends through the catheter body and into the ablation assembly and has a distal end connected to the tip electrode. In use the distal end of the catheter is interested into the heart of a patient. At least a portion of the outer circumference of the generally circular curve is contacted with the inner circumference of the tubular region so that the tip electrode is in a first position in contact with tissue along the inner circumference. The tip electrode is used to ablate tissue at the first position. The ablation assembly can then be rotated so that the tip electrode is in a second position in contact with tissue along the inner circumference different from the first position, and the tip electrode is used to ablate tissue at the second position. This procedure can be repeated to form a lesion of the desired length along the inner circumference. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of matching the operations of a primary computer and a backup computer for providing a substitute in the event of a failure of the primary computer is described. The method comprises assigning a unique sequence number to each of a plurality of requests in the order in which the requests are received and are to be executed on the primary computer, transferring the unique sequence numbers to the backup computer, and using the unique sequence numbers to order corresponding ones of the same plurality of requests also received at the backup computer such that the requests can be executed on the second computer in the same order as that on the first computer. In this manner, the status of the primary and backup computers can be matched in real-time so that, if the primary computer fails, the backup computer can immediately take the place of the primary computer.

Abstract: A technique is provided for detecting errors in persistent memory, such as flash memory, where values of data items are stored at memory locations added consecutively to one end of the already-allocated memory segment. When a new location is added, a pointer to the address of the new location is stored at the location of a preceding value for that item. The address of the latest location is determined (21) whenever power is reapplied. The pointer fields of the locations are searched (24) for any pointer whose value is greater than the address of the last location. If such a pointer value is found, this indicates that an error occurred when writing the pointer value, for example because power was removed before completion of the pointer writing cycle. The error can be corrected by changing the pointer value to the address of the last location (27).
