Filed: 1999-11-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, software, and apparati for determining whether a genomic region harbors a gene associated with a detectable trait. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method of confirming that a genomic region harbors a gene associated with a detectable trait comprising the steps of identifying a candidate genomic region suspected of harboring the gene associated with the detectable trait, constructing a trait-associated distribution of association values using the biallelic markers in the candidate genomic region, identifying a plurality of biallelic markers in random genomic regions which are not suspected of harboring the gene associated with the detectable trait, constructing a random distribution of association values using the biallelic markers in the random genomic regions, comparing the trait-associated distribution of association values to the random distribution of association values, and determining whether the trait-associated distribution of association values and the random distribution of association values are significantly different from one another. In other embodiments, the present invention comprises software for performing the above method and devices comprising the software in a retrievable form.

Abstract: Endogenously produced cationic antimicrobial peptides are ubiquitous components of host defenses in mammals, birds, amphibia, insects, and plants.  Cationic peptides are also effective when administered as therapeutic agents.  A practical drawback in cationic peptide therapy, however, is the cost of producing the agents. The methods described herein provide a means to efficiently produce cationic peptides from recombinant host cells. These recombinantly-produced cationic peptides can be rapidly purified from host cell proteins using anion exchange chromatography.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé servant à former un rendu en perspective à haute résolution spatiale à partir d'un espace de voxels à faible résolution spatiale. Ce procédé consiste: (a) à initialiser une fenêtre virtuelle de pixels de résolution prédéterminée, et à placer cette fenêtre virtuelle dans l'espace de voxels en question ou à proximité de cet espace; (b) à effectuer un lancer de rayon épars en suivant plusieurs vecteurs à partir d'un point d'observation prédéterminé à travers la fenêtre virtuelle jusque dans l'espace de voxels; et (c) à calculer une valeur de visualisation au niveau d'une série de positions le long de chaque vecteur. En suivant l'ordre progressif des positions du point d'observation jusqu'au pixel, on calcule un seuil de valeur de transparence accumulée. Les valeurs de voxels proches sont interpolées pour former une valeur de voxels interpolée pour chaque position. Les valeurs de voxels ainsi interpolées sont ensuite transformées en une valeur de visualisation et une valeur de transparence dérivées.

Title: Method and system for reducing synchronization time in a cdma wireless communication system
Inventor: TIEDEMANN EDWARD G JR
IPC: H04L7/00
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: A method and system for generating forward link channels in a synchronous CDMA  base station having a pilot pseudonoise (PN) sequence with a pilot PN sequence offset. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of generating a sync channel (302) including a sync channel message; generating an identification channel including at least the pilot PN sequence offset; and orthogonalizing the sync channel and the identification channel. The identification channel and the sync channel are both transmitted. However, the mobile station may get the pilot PN offset from the identification channel quickly, rather than having to demodulate the entire sync channel message. The identification channel may further include an indication of the phase of the pilot PN  sequence, and the epoch of the pilot PN sequence. In one embodiment, the method includes encoding the identification channel using a Golay code.
