Patent EP-1043840-A2 (EP)
Inventor: YANG DAVID XIAO DONG
IPC: H03M1/12
Filed: 2000-03-17
Abstract: A method of simultaneously providing A/D conversion and multiplication in a Bit-Serial
ADCs and single slope ADCs. A bit serial ADC uses a RAMP signal and a
BITX signal input to a comparator and 1-bit latch, respectively. When RAMP
exceeds an analog input value, the comparator triggers the latch to output the value
of BITX. The bits are output serially. The RAMP signal has a staircase shape with
voltage levels and voltage steps. In the present invention, multiplication by two
coefficients is possible. One coefficient is determined by properly designing RAMP,
and the other coefficient is determined by properly designing BITX. Multiplication via
RAMP is accomplished by changing the voltage levels by a factor of 1/X, where X is
the multiplying coefficient (i.e., multiplication by a factor of 0.5 is accomplished by
doubling the voltage of the voltage levels). Multiplication via BITX is accomplished
by slowing the frequency of BITX by a factor of X. Also disclosed are methods of
designing BITX and RAMP such that multiplication via BITX has a high accuracy.
Also, the present invention includes methods for data compression/filtering in a
photodetector array using the disclosed multiplication methods. The present
invention is suitable for use in multichannel environments because the invention
requires only very simple hardware.

Abstract: Multiple tubes (50, 52) are connected to steam supply and spent
cooling steam return manifolds (42, 40) for supplying cooling steam to
buckets and returning spent cooling steam from the buckets to the manifolds,
respectively. The tubes are prevented from axial movement in one direction
by flanges (62, 76) engaging end faces of the spacer (20) between the first and
second-stage wheels (12, 14). Retention sleeves (86, 94) are disposed about
cantilevered ends of the tubes. One end of the retention sleeve engages an
enlarged flange on the tube, while an opposite end (90, 96) is spaced axially
from an end face (89, 97) of the adjoining wheel, forming a gap ( a ,  b ), enabling
thermal expansion of the tubes and limiting axial displacement of the tube in
the opposite direction.

Abstract: A tuning index tool (51) for use in determining the degree of tuning necessary for a
tunable optical fiber connector (81,82) has a first stationary member having a connector adapter (61)
affixed thereto and a second movable member within the first member and spring loaded
with respect thereto. The second member has a connector adapter affixed thereto axially
aligned with the adapter in the first member. The movable member is incrementally
rotatable with respect to the stationary member by being pulled against the spring force
to disengage the ferrules of connectors in the adapters, which are aligned in a split
sleeve. Rotation changes the orientation of the eccentricity vectors,
e.g., the position of the fiber axis, of the two
connectors, and hence the insertion loss. Measurements of insertion loss are made, and
the orientation of the connectors for minimum loss is determined. 
     The connectors are then disengaged from the tuning device and the
ferrule (27) inside one of the assembled connectors is rotated to the
optimum position by using a tuning wrench (86).

Abstract: An optical Raman amplifier comprises a light source (29-34), a depolarizer (36), and a gain
medium (16) that transfers energy from a pump beam output from the depolarizer to the
optical signal (48) via stimulated Raman scattering. The
depolarizer (36) may comprise one or more birefringent optical fibers
which support two polarization modes, a fast mode and a slow mode. The light
propagates in the fast mode at a higher velocity than the light propagates in the slow
mode so as to impart phase delay as the light propagates in the birefringent optical fibers,
thereby at least partially depolarizing the beam.

Abstract: The invention provides an IP QoS management mechanism
for modern wireless networks to guarantee delivery of IP
services with the required quality through the networks to
customers. In order to realize IP QoS management in wireless
networks, the invention provides a layered QoS management
architecture which performs the QoS control over the entire
communication protocol stack of a wireless network. The
architecture consists of two levels of IP QoS management with
an adaptation interface between them. These different
functional and adapting levels are called, from top to bottom,
Upper Layer QoS Management (ULQM), IP QoS adaptation (IQA), and
Lower Layer QoS Management (LLQM). The ULQM is responsible for
IP QoS management in the Upper Layers of a wireless network for
end-to-end QoS delivery. In contrast, the LLQM takes charge of
managing IP QoS in the Link Layer and Physical Layer of the
network. To shield the LLQM from burdens caused by coping with
application details from the Upper Layers, the IQA plays a role
in buffering and adapting the QoS signaling flow from the Upper
Layers to prevent it from directly entering into the LLQM
without adaptation. Therefore, the IQA allows the ULQM and
LLQM to work independently of each other. In addition to this
functionality, the IQA also provides a link between the LLQM
and the ULQM in the form of a QoS delivery path from the Upper
Layers to the Link Layer and Physical Layer of the network to
consistently provide an IP QoS management flow over a wireless
link. The IQA sub-layer contains two entities. One is called
the IP QoS Adaptation Control Function (IQACF), residing in the
control plane of the communication protocol stack and the other
is called the IQA Entity (IQAE), residing in the data plane of
the stack.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions useful for inducing major histocompatibility complex class-I (MHC-I)-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response in a mammalian host immunized with acellular (non-replicating) antigen. The methods comprise using a liposome, an archaeosome, comprising a polar lipid extract of an archaeobacterium as both immune modulator and carrier for the non-replicating antigen. In addition to a strong antigen-specific CTL response, the archaeosome adjuvant elicits CD4<+> Th1, CD4<+> Th2 (antibody), and memory responses to the acellular antigen in the vaccine composition. The invention provides methods for mounting a rapid, and a long lasting protective immunity in the vaccinated host against infections caused by intracellular pathogens, especially those that require the host to mount an antigen-specific CD8<+> T cell immune response for the protection. The methods of the invention are also useful in, but not restricted to, vaccines for preventing or reducing growth of solid tumors.
