Abstract: Resilient electrical interconnects are provided which have a non-uniform cross section which achieves an increased range of deflection and a predetermined relationship between compression force and deflection of the interconnect, and between resistance and deflection of the interconnect. A smaller cross sectional area decreases the spring rate, or compression force, of the interconnect during compression. Increased range of deflection and reduced spring rate enables improved compensation for surface irregularities and facilitates mounting of integrated circuit or other devices having large arrays of interconnects. The non-uniform cross section is provided by a single or compound slope, or alternatively a nonlinear curve, from the end of smaller cross-section to the end of larger cross-section. <IMAGE>

Abstract: T-cell responses are initiated via contact with MHC/peptide complexes on antigen presenting cells (APCs). The fate of these complexes, however, is unknown. Here, using live APCs expressing MHC class I molecules fused with green-fluorescent protein, we show that peptide-specific T-cell/APC interaction induces clusters of MHC I molecules to congregate within minutes at the contact site; thereafter, these MHC I clusters are acquired by T-cells in small aggregates.,We further demonstrate that acquisition of MHC I by T-cells correlates with TCR down regulation and the APC-derived MHC I molecules are endocytosed and degraded by-T-cells. These data suggest a novel mechanism by which TCR recognition of MHC/peptide complexes can be curtailed by internalization of MHC molecules by T-cells.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a method for arranging the transfer of packets between a wireless data transfer device (MS) and a mobile communication network (NW). For transferring packets between the wireless data transfer device (MS) and the mobile communication network (NW), temporary block flows (UL TBF, DL TBF) are formed, and information is transferred in these block flows in one or more packet data traffic channels (PDTCH) either in the first direction from the mobile communication network (NW) to the wireless data transfer device (MS) or in the second direction from the wireless data transfer device (MS) to the mobile communication network. In the method, information about the end of the block flow is set in a packet to be transmitted in a block flow when data transfer has stopped. When the transfer of packets in said first direction has stopped, at least one enquiry message is also sent from the mobile communication network (NW) to the wireless data transfer device (MS). If there are packets to be sent to the mobile communication network (NW) in the wireless data transfer device (MS), a reply message to the enquiry message is sent from the wireless data transfer device (MS), which also sets information about the need to send packets in the reply message.

Abstract: A communications device employs noise-adaptive transmit signal gain that takes echo cancellation into account so that a remote listener engaged in conversation with a local user of the communications device is not subjected to overly loud received voice when the local user experiences high ambient noise. Because the noise environment for the local user comprises not only local background noise, but also noise received through the communications device from the remote user, the communications device employs echo cancellation to ensure the transmit signal gain adaptations are not erroneously influenced by remote noise. A gain associated with the transmit signal is adjusted based on estimated noise, with the noise estimate taking the effects of echo cancellation into account. By decreasing transmit signal gain in response to increasing local noise, the communications device may compensate for the increasing speech volume of the local user generally caused by an increase in local noise. In order to avoid abrupt, noticeable gain adjustments, the communications device may employ hysteresis between the noise level at which the transmit gain is reduced and the noise level at which it is increased. Further, the communications device may adjust transmit signal gain incrementally over a defined time period. Optionally, the communications device may increase receive signal gain in tandem with decreasing transmit signal gain, such that overall transmit/receive loop gain remains relatively constant.
