Abstract: A color reflective guest-host liquid-crystal display device is provided which does not require a polarizing plate and which has a bright screen. A transparent electrode is formed on an upper substrate of a color reflective guest-host liquid-crystal display device. A reflection electrode is formed on a lower substrate, and an electro-optic element is held in the spacing between the two substrates so as to perform light modulation in response to an applied voltage. The electro-optic element has a laminated structure including a guest-host liquid-crystal layer which contains a dichroic dye and which is uniformly oriented along the transparent electrode, and a phase shifter which has a predetermined optical anisotropic axis and, which is formed along the reflection electrode. The transparent electrode and the reflection electrode face each other and define a plurality of pixels. A color filter assigns incident light of a different wavelength to each pixel. The phase shifter is divided for each pixel, and the thickness thereof is adjusted according to a corresponding wavelength. Further, when this liquid-crystal display device is formed into an active matrix type, the pixel aperture ratio can be improved by providing the color filter on the drive substrate side on which switching elements and pixel electrodes are formed rather than on the facing substrate.

into baseband complex data values and enables a velocity
determination from just two lag samples. A cross correlation
function derives a first cross-correlation value (70) between a
first set of complex data values that are derived at a first
common sample time, during succeeding transmit events, and a
second set of complex data values that are derived at a second
common sample time, during succeeding transmit events. A
second cross-correlation function derives a second
cross-correlation value (72) between the first set of complex
data values and a third set of complex data values that are
derived at the common second sample time. A local oscillator
synchronizes (16) both the baseband conversion and cross-correlation
operation, and exhibits a rate of change of phase
per sample time.

Abstract: Williams syndrome (WS) is a developmental disorder that includes poor visuospatial constructive cognition. This syndrome has been studied to identify genes important for human cognitive development. Two families are described which have a partial WS phenotype; affected members have the specific WS cognitive profile and vascular disease, but lack other WS features. Submicroscopic chromosome 7q11.23 deletions cosegregate with this phenotype in both families. DNA sequence analyses of the region affected by the smallest (83.6 kb) deletion revealed two genes, elastin (ELN) and LIM-kinasel (LIMK1). The latter encodes a novel protein kinase with LIM domains and is strongly expressed in the brain. Because ELN mutations cause vascular disease but not cognitive abnormalities, these data implicate LIMK1 hemizygosity in impaired visuospatial constructive cognition.

Abstract: A conference calling system for a wireless communications channel. The system is adapted for use with a channel having first, second and third participants communicating via first, second and third transmitters and receivers respectively. The system includes a circuit for receiving an encoded signal from at least one of the transmitters. A second circuit determines which of the participants is speaking from the received encoded signal. A third circuit is provided for re-transmitting an encoded signal received from the speaking participant to the other participants. In the illustrative implementation, the encoded signals are variable rate speech vocoded signals in which speech is vocoded at full rate, silence is vocoded at +E,fra 1/8+EE th rate and the +E,fra 1/2 +EE  and +E,fra 1/4+EE  rates are used as transitional rates. In the illustrative implementation, the speaker's signal is identified by examining the rate of the received vocoded signals. When the speaker's vocoded signal is identified, it is re-transmitted without de-vocoding to the non-speaking participants in the conference call. By re-transmitting the speaker's signal without de-vocoding, the quality of the received signal is preserved.
