Title: Method and device for decoding convolution-encoded signals
Inventor: KRAKOWSKI CLAUDIU
IPC: H03M13/41
Filed: 2008-08-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a device used for the decoding of convolution-coded received symbols (50). Transmission data are modulated into symbols using a modulation schema, said symbols then being encoded to convolution-coded transmission symbols. A convolution-coded transmission symbol comprises portions of a plurality of symbols disposed chronologically one after the other. Said transmission symbols are transmitted via a transmission channel and received as received symbols (50). The Viterbi decoder (81) decodes the received symbols (50) by means of a modified Viterbi algorithm. Before passing through the Viterbi decoder (81), the received symbols (50) are processed by a stage reduction unit (80), which detects additional information in each stage of decoding with regard to possible subsequent stages of decoding, independently of the decoding process by the Viterbi decoder (81). The stage reduction unit (80) uses the additional information to limit the decoding by the Viterbi decoder (81) to certain subsequent stages.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the determination of presence or absence of the risk of glaucoma, which comprises the steps of: detecting in vitro an allele and/or a genotype of a single nucleotide polymorphism occurring at position-31 in at least one nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of the nucleotide sequences depicted in SEQ ID NOs:203-514 or a nucleotide sequence complementary to the at least one nucleotide sequence in a sample collected from a subject (step A); and comparing the allele and/or the genotype detected in the step A with at least one allele and/or genotype containing a high-risk allele in a nucleotide sequence depicted in any one of SEQ ID NOs:203-514 (step B). The level of the onset risk of glaucoma in a donor of a sample can be determined by analyzing the allele or genotype of the single nucleotide polymorphism in the sample by the method. Based on the level of the risk, the donor can adopt a preventive measure for glaucoma or receive a proper treatment for glaucoma.
