Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the detection sensitivity in homogenous TR-FRET based bioaffinity assays. The sensitivity is improved by the use of long lifetime donors together with a high energy transfer efficiency and by carrying out the detection of the energy transfer based emission of the acceptor in a time window which is opened after a delay of 1 microsecond or more, but less than 50 microseconds, calculated from the donor excitation, and which time window has a width of 1 microsecond or more, but less than 100 microseconds. The invention concerns also the use of the improved method in multianalyte assays. Furthermore, the invention concerns a device suitable for carrying out the improved method.

Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to a technique for selection of parameter configurations for an implantable neurostimulator using Bayesian networks. The technique may be employed by a programming device to allow a clinician to select parameter configurations, including electrode configurations, and then program an implantable neurostimulator to deliver therapy using the selected parameter configurations. In operation, the programming device executes a parameter configuration search algorithm to guide the clinician in the selection of parameter configurations. The search algorithm relies on a Bayesian network structure that encodes conditional probabilities describing different states of the parameter set. The Bayesian network structure provides a conditional probability table that represents causal relationships between different parameter configurations. The search algorithm uses the Bayesian network structure to infer likely efficacies of possible parameter configurations based on the efficacies of parameter configurations already observed.

Abstract: A method and system to delegate an authority to access collaborative resources are provided. The system enables a participant to re-delegate the authority to another participant by an authorization certificate. A chain of the authorization certificate is established along with the re-delegation of the authority from one participant to another. The participant requesting access to the collaborative resources is requested to provide the owner with the chain of authorization certificate for verification. Therefore, the re-delegation process may be performed without the need to notify the owner and yet without comprising the security of the collaborative resources. In addition, the system provides for restricting the participant from accessing the collaborative resources. Consequently, though the participant may not have access to the collaborative resources, he is still able to re-delegate the authority to another participant.

Abstract: The present disclosure introduces a simple method and apparatus for a Class-D amplification and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of an input signal, such as a voice signal. The proposed circuits do not require reference input signals such as triangular signals; rather, the combination of the circuits' self-oscillating device arrangements and the delay elements performs pulse width modulation at higher frequencies while producing less noise. Among other advantages, these circuits offer shorter response time, less distortion, better power supply ripple rejection, larger negative feedback, and simpler construction. The recommended Class-D amplifiers can be used with speakers and can have single-ended or differential input. <IMAGE>
