Patent CA-2588896-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BESELT RONALD
IPC: G01N21/89
Filed: 2005-11-21
Abstract: A scanning system includes a cable take-up mechanism that uses a series of pulleys that determine the bend diameters of a scanning system. The mechanism is particularly suited for a spectrometric, e.g., infrared, scanning system where moving scanner or sensor head essentially houses only the optical elements while essentially of all the other electronic and optical components associated with the measurement are housed in an easily accessible compartment that is remote from the moving scanner head. Light is transmitted through optical fiber cables. The cable take-up mechanism maintains the fiber optic cable at essentially constant total bend length and bend diameter thereby minimizing any dynamic changes to spectral bend losses as the optical head is scanned. The light weight construction of the sensor head further reduces vibrations associated with the moving scanner head.

IPC: H04J99/00
Filed: 2006-05-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in a CDMA-type or OFDM/OFDMA-based multi-antenna system first selects an initial set of antenna weights and multiplies the selected antenna weights by copies of a transmission signal to produce a weighted transmission signal. In an OFDM/OFDMA-based implementation, a selected set of sub-carriers are modulated with the signal copies and then weighted using the antenna weights. The weighted transmission signal is transmitted using an initial overall transmission power. If an acknowledgement is not received within a predetermined time interval, the antenna weights are adjusted and/or the sub-carriers are reselected and a modified weighted transmission signal is transmitted. The overall transmission power is maintained at a fixed value as the antenna weights and/or selected sub-carriers are adjusted and is increased only if an acknowledgment is not received after a predetermined number of weight adjustments and/or sub-carrier re-selections.

Filed: 2006-09-29
Abstract: The present invention provides methods of making and using self-assembled arrays of single polynucleotide molecules for carrying out a variety of large-scale genetic measurements, such as gene expression analysis, gene copy number assessment, and the like. Random arrays used in the invention are "self-assembled" in the sense that they are formed by deposition of polynucleotide molecules onto a surface where they become fixed at random locations. The polynucleotide molecules fixed on the surface are then identified by direct sequence determination of component nucleic acids, such as incorporated probe sequences, or by other decoding schemes. Such identification converts a random array of determinable polynucleotides, and their respective probes into an addressable array of probe sequences.
