IPC: C12N15/32
Filed: 2007-06-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for obtaining DNA constructions coding for Cry toxins with 3 domains (also known as Cry toxins, Bt toxins or 5-endotoxins), which lack helix .alpha.-1. Said DNA constructions were modified in order to encode proteins that can kill insects that are resistant to the corresponding non-modified Cry toxins. The invention relates to the DNA constructions of the genes of modified 3-domain Cry toxins and the modified 3-domain Cry proteins, together with methods, molecular vectors and host cells containing said constructions, as well as recombinant methods for producing the modified 3-domain Cry toxins. In addition, the invention relates to formulations containing the modified 3-domain Cry toxins. Resistance of insects to non-modified Cry toxins is due to a reduced binding of the toxin to the receptors in the insect's intestine. More specifically, the invention relates to the expression of the modified 3-domain Cry toxins, the methods for expressing said modified 3-domain Cry toxins, transformed microorganisms and transgenic plants with constructions that express the modified 3-domain Cry toxins and methods for suppressing resistance of pests to non-modified Cry toxins.

Patent CA-2699573-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GORE DHANANJAY ASHOK
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 2008-10-09
Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described for equalizing received signals in a wireless communication environment. Using multiple transmit and/or receive antennas and MIMO technology, multiple data streams can be transmitted within a single tone. During equalization (210), receivers can separate data received within a tone into individual data streams.  The equalization process generally is computationally expensive. Equalizer functions include the inverse matrix operation, which can be computed using the fast square root method; however, the fast square root method involves large numbers of computations for a set of matrices, where the size of a matrix in the set of matrices increases with the number of transmit or receive antennas. Utilizing a modification of the fast square root method (208), a subset of the elements of the matrices can be selected and updated to reduce the number and/or complexity of computations. Updating comprises determining a rotation matrix in accordance with a Householder reflection approach.
