Abstract: Systems and methods of gathering information from WLAN-enabled access points to estimate position of a WLAN positioning device. A device estimates the position of itself includes a WLAN radio module, extraction logic for extracting identify information from said received WLAN; and logic to cooperate with a WLAN-based positioning system. The radio may be a receive only device or one which has limited transmission capabilities (e.g., only probe requests). Certain extraction logic extracts information from WLAN signals destined for WLAN-enabled devices other than said device. Other extraction logic includes diversity and combination logic to combine headers of multiple, similar but not identical WLAN packets. Some embodiments include caches. Others measure multiple received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values for sufficiently long WLAN packets to improve an estimate of the Doppler frequency of said device. Still others include a phases for active and passive scanning of WLAN APs.

Title: Therapeutic methods for neuropathic pain
Inventor: BAZAN NICOLAS G
IPC: A61K38/17
Filed: 2007-08-08
Abstract: The agrin protein was shown to be important in preventing the development of neuropathic pain, as well as in treating neuropathic pain. Both agrin protein and gene expression were shown to be down-regulated in mammals with neuropathic pain. Increasing either agrin gene expression or protein resulted in a decrease in the development of neuropathic pain. Agrin protein or the C-terminal agrin fragments can be administered in a number of ways, preferably by intrathecal injection. In addition, agrin can be increased by administering a compound shown to affect agrin gene expression or agrin protein concentration, e.g., SCP-I and SCP-Ml (also known as JMM). Agrin protein decrease was shown to be prevented by administering an NMDA receptor antagonist, e.g., MK801. Agrin and a C-terminal agrin fragment also induced phosphorylation of the NMDA receptor subunit NR1 at the serine residue site which led to suppression of neuropathic pain.

Inventor: BUCKLEY ADRIAN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2008-05-26
Abstract: In one embodiment, a scheme is disclosed for managing delivery of a Mobile- Terminated (MT) call via an IMS network, wherein the MT call is originated by a calling party towards a User Equipment (UE) device that is CS-attached. An IMS-capable network node is operable to associate the received call information with an IP Multimedia Routing Number (IMRN) and provide the call information and the IMRN via alternative signaling (e.g., USSD or SMS messaging) to the UE device. A Mobile-Originated (MO) call process is initiated by the UE device using the received IMRN as the destination number, which terminates at the network node. Upon verifying that the returned IMRN is valid, the network node bridges the access and remote legs to establish the end-to-end path for the MT call between the UE device and the calling party.
