Abstract: An audio data transmitting/receiving apparatus for realizing a high-quality frame compensation in audio communications. In an audio data transmitting apparatus (10), a delay part (104) subjects multi-channel audio data to a delay process that delays the L-ch encoded data relative to the R-ch encoded data by a predetermined delay amount. A multiplexing part (106) multiplexes the audio data as subjected to the delay process. A transmitting part (108) transmits the audio data as multiplexed. In an audio data receiving apparatus (20), a separating part (114) separates, for each channel, the audio data received from the audio data transmitting apparatus (10). A decoding part (118) decodes, for each channel, the audio data as separated. If there has occurred a loss or error in the audio data as separated, then a frame compensating part (120) uses one of the L-ch and R-ch encoded data to compensate for the loss or error in the other encoded data.

Abstract: A device for morcellating tissue within a body cavity of a patient comprises a stationary tube having a distal end portion, and a bipolar electrosurgical electrode assembly located at the distal end of the tube. The electrosurgical electrode assembly comprises first and second electrodes separated by an insulation member, the bipolar electrosurgical electrode assembly extending around the circumference of the distal edge of the tube. When an electrosurgical cutting voltage is applied to the electrode assembly, and relative movement is initiated between the tube and the tissue, a core of severed tissue is formed within the tube such that it can be removed from the body cavity of the patient. A tissue-pulling device such as a jaw assembly can be employed to pull tissue against the distal end of the tube.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un préambule inséré dans une trame OFDMA et comprenant une séquence commune à toutes les stations de base participant à une transmission. La station d'abonné exécute une synchronisation précise à l'aide de la séquence commune sur le préambule commun, et les crêtes obtenues indiquent les emplacements des stations de base candidates. Une recherche spécifique à la station de base est alors exécutée près desdites crêtes à l'aide des séquences pseudo-bruit spécifiques à la station de base. Cette recherche cellulaire sur deux étages permet de réduire de manière drastique la fenêtre de recherche. Le préambule est mis en correspondance avec des valeurs connues par un récepteur correspondant afin de décoder les signaux et de permettre à de multiples signaux d'être transmis de l'émetteur au récepteur. Le préambule peut comprendre deux parties, le préambule-1 et le préambule-2, pouvant être utilisés dans différents systèmes, y compris des systèmes à sorties multiples et entrées multiples (MIMO).

Abstract: Disclosed are nutritional compositions and methods of using the compositions for treating or preventing osteoporosis. The compositions comprise (A) those dried fruit solids that inherently comprise flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids, and a fiber component of which at least about 20% by weight is soluble fiber, and (B) a soluble, indigestible oligosaccharide in addition to any soluble fiber inherently in the dried fruit solids. The dried fruit solids may also be characterized as those selected from dried plum, dried grape, dried date, or dried fig. The combination of dried fruit solids (e.g., dried plum solids) and soluble indigestible oligosaccharides (e.g., fructooligosaccharides) have been found to be surprisingly more effective in affecting bone mineral density than either component when used alone, thus allowing for reduced concentrations of such ingredients in a nutritional product form such as a beverage or solid nutritional bar.

Abstract: The present invention features improved processes and organisms for the production of methionine. The invention demonstrates that a ΔmetF organism or a ΔmetE AmetH organism, for example, mutants of C. glutamicum or E. coli, can use a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), as a source of both sulfur and a methyl group, bypassing the need for MetH/MetE and MetF activity and the need to reduce sulfate, for the synthesis of methionine. Also described in this patent are data implicating MetY (also called MetZ) as an enzyme that incorporates a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., DMDS, into methionine. A ΔmetF ΔmetB strain of C. glutamicum can use a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., DMDS, as a source of both sulfide and a methyl group. Furthermore, methionine production by engineered prototrophic organisms that overproduce O-acetyl-homoserine was improved by the addition of a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., DMDS.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a duplex telecommunication connection in radio connections based on a frame-structured interactive communication and a radio system where the frame-structured interactive communication is performed in the radio connections. The invention provides a means for improving the use of channel resources in the implementation of the interactive telecommunication connection by providing a FDD connection with one or more TDD dimensions. The general approach of the invention is that a full-duplex frequency band is time-duplexed into two or more sub-bands in which interactive communication takes place substantially independently. Transmissions in different transmission directions in each sub-band occur at different times, but a simultaneous transmission can take occur in two different sub-bands in different transmission directions. It is an advantage of the invention in interactive communication that the message is received entirely in one transmission direction before it needs to be responded in another transmission direction in a particular sub-band. On the other hand, the frequency band is utilized effectively for communication because transmission can be performed simultaneously in different sub-bands in the reverse transmission directions.
