Abstract: The mobile telephone system employs a fleet of satellites and a set of gateway ground stations arranged around the globe for handling communications to and from mobile communication units such as mobile telephones. Signals are transmitted between a subscriber unit and the nearest gateway via one or more of the satellites. The gateway is connected to a set of individual service providers such as local telephone systems. The individual service providers may be constrained for various reasons such as contractual or other legal constraints to handle communications only from subscriber units located in certain geographical areas such as within only certain countries or portions of countries. For a mobile communication from a particular subscriber unit, the gateway selects a service provider capable of handling the communication. In one implementation, the selection is based upon the location of the subscriber unit and upon any preferences specified by the subscriber unit. In other implementations, the selection is based on other parameters such as the altitude, speed or velocity of the subscriber unit or the time of day or date upon which the communication is initiated.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'analyse quantitative et qualitative d'une analyte d'acide nucléique dans un échantillon susceptible de contenir de l'acide nucléique. Ledit procédé suppose tout d'abord de mêler à l'échantillon un acide nucléique de contrôle et deux paires d'amorces. La première paire d'amorces sert d'une part à amplifier une région conservée de l'analyte d'acide nucléique, si ce dernier est bien présent dans l'échantillon, afin de produire un fragment conservé ayant une première longueur et, d'autre part, à amplifier l'acide nucléique de contrôle afin de produire un fragment de contrôle ayant une seconde longueur, différente de la première. Une seconde paire d'amorces sert à amplifier une seconde région de l'analyte d'acide nucléique afin de produire un fragment de séquençage. Un membre de la première paire d'amorces est marqué par un marqueur détectable et un membre de la seconde paire peut être marqué par un marqueur tel que la biotine, apte à capturer l'amorce. Le mélange est alors traité de façon à amplifier l'échantillon et l'acide nucléique de contrôle au moyen des deux paires d'amorces afin de produire un mélange d'amplification contenant des fragments conservés, des fragments de séquençage et des fragments de contrôle lorsque l'analyte d'acide nucléique est présente dans l'échantillon, et uniquement un fragment de contrôle lorsqu'il n'y a pas d'analyte d'acide nucléique dans l'échantillon. Ce mélange est analysé afin de déterminer les quantités relatives de fragments conservés et de fragments de contrôle dans le mélange d'amplification en vue de quantifier la quantité d'analyte d'acide nucléique présente dans l'échantillon, ce qui constitue le point de départ d'une réaction servant à déterminer la séquence du fragment de séquençage.

Abstract: In the design of a lens system, lens parameters are determined by minimizing a merit
function which is a sum of squares of ray aberrations or wavefront errors at many sampling
points. Prior methods often select the parameters which give very narrow tolerances to
production errors. The small tolerance increases the difficulty of production. In order to
increase the tolerance, states which allot errors ±δ to some chosen parameters are
considered. Merit functions corresponding the error-allotted states are made. An integrated
merit function is produced by adding the error-allotted merit functions to the non-error
allotted normal merit function. Parameters are determined by minimizing the integrated merit
function. The optimized parameters will give wider tolerances for the error-allotted
parameters. 
     DOE (diffraction optical element) design includes the steps of considering error-allotted
states S 1 , S 2 ,··· in addition to a non-error state S o , making merit functions E 1 , E 2 ,
··· for S 1 , S 2 ··· besides E o  for S o , defining an integrated merit function  E=Σw k E k    by
multiplying the merit function with weights and summing up, minimizing the integrated merit
function and determining optimum variables for the DOE.

Abstract: A CDMA cellular system does not require accurate
synchronization between all base stations and is capable
of distinguishing the base stations from each other
without the need for a complex process. When two element
codes are multiplied with shifted timing to generate a
spreading code, different codes that do not agree with
each other when cyclically shifted are generated for the
respective base stations. Spreading codes of the base
stations are distinguished even when the base stations
are not kept in synchronism with each other. In the CDMA
cellular system which uses such spreading codes, when
frame synchronization is achieved using a perch channel
spread by a spreading code that is common to all the base
stations, a signal transmitted from one of the base
stations is de-spread on the basis of a first element
code which is of the same timing (phase) with respect to
a frame in all the base stations. Since the de-spread
signal is a signal produced by shifting a second element
code with timing (phase) which differs from base station
to base station, a spreading code that is being used can
be identified by a correlated value calculating unit.
