Abstract: A Reed-Solomon (R-S) decoder is presented that simultaneously searches for m roots of the error locator polynomial and the error magnitude polynomial. A polynomial evaluator includes a plurality of slice elements corresponding to each term of the polynomial. Each slice element includes a plurality of coefficient multipliers that are configured to evaluate the term for different values, thereby effecting a simultaneous evaluation of the polynomial at each of these different values. In a preferred embodiment, only one register is required in each slice element for receiving the coefficients of the polynomial and for facilitating an iterative evaluation of the polynomial for other values. In a preferred embodiment, two polynomial evaluators are employed for decoding a Reed-Solomon codeword. One evaluator is used to provide a modified form of the Chien error locator algorithm, and the other is used to provide a modified form of the Forney error determination algorithm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for testing the effect of a substance, in
particular a food-ingredient, on the resistance to microbial infection of the human
gastrointestinal tract. The microorganism may be a gastrointestinal pathogen, such as a
virus, a bacterium, a fungus or a protozoan organism, in which case usually a
attenuated or non-virulent strain of the microorganism, such as a live oral vaccine, will
be applied in the method . Alternatively, the method may be applied to test the effect of
the substance on the capability of non-pathogenic beneficial bacterium to colonise the
intestinal mucosa. In a specific example, the method demonstrates that calcium reduces
the severity of infection by an enterotoxigenic  E.coli  as well as the clinical symptoms
associated with the infection. In a further aspect the invention therefore relates to a
method for preventing or reducing the severity of a gastrointestinal infection by a
Gram-negative pathogenic bacterium by increasing the gastrointestinal calcium
concentration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, apparatuses and a system in
connection with pushing of packet data from an originator to a wireless
communication station (20). When a network address is received by the
wireless station (20) from a server (50) wishing to push packet data to
the wireless station (20), the corresponding identity is acquired by the
wireless station (20). Based on this identity the wireless station (20)
determines if packet data reception from the originator is desired. If
such reception is desired, the wireless station (20) establishes a
packet data session with the originator. Using this packet data session,
the originator is able to transfer, or push, packet data to the wireless
station (20). Thus, according to the invention, pushing of packet data
from an originator to a wireless communication station (20) is only
facilitated if reception of packet data from that originator is desired,
something which can be controlled in real-time.
