Title: Methods and apparatus for reducing signal interference in a wireless receiver based on signal-to-interference ratio
Inventor: JIN XIN
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 2005-06-29
Abstract: One illustrative method of reducing signal interference in a wireless receiver includes receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal; amplifying the received RF  signal with a gain G; producing a baseband signal from the amplified RF signal; producing a signal-to-interference (S/I) ratio from the baseband signal; and adjusting the gain G based on the S/I ratio. Preferably, the gain G is varied over a time period to produce a plurality of S/I ratios, so that the gain G corresponding a maximum S/I ratio produced over the time period can be selected for optimal performance. With this technique, higher accuracy is provided as intermodulation distortion is accounted for in the S/I ratio.  Advantageously, the S/I ratio calculations and the gain adjustments are performed digitally by one or more processors such as a digital signal processor (DSP).

Title: Concussion stunner
Inventor: JONES ARTHUR
IPC: A22B3/02
Filed: 2003-09-30
Abstract: A pneumatically operated animal stunner achieves a high stunning energy to produce concussion and stun an animal without penetration by accelerating a lightweight stunning rod to high speed. To minimize weight, the stunning rod is preferably hollow and made of a lightweight material. A piston sliding within a cylinder with an anti-friction coating drives the stunning rod. The cylinder is pressurized before operation and a catch restrains the piston until it is triggered. To increase stunning rod speed, air is vented ahead of the stunning rod to prevent a build-up of pressurized air that may slow the rod. One end of the stunning rod is provided with a large diameter impact head of a material that resists deformation. The opposite end is made of a wear resistant material and is engaged by the catch. The extension distance of the impact head beyond the front end of the tool is limited and can preferably be adjusted. A specially shaped air-cooled internal bumper is provided to absorb the very high stunning energy of the stunning rod without damage.

Abstract: The invention provides biologically active compounds that may be reacted with macromolecules, such as albumin, to form covalent linked complexes wherein the resulting complexes exhibit a desired biological activity in vivo. More specifically, the complexes are isolated complexes comprising a biologically active moiety covalently bound to a linking group and a protein. The complexes are prepared by conjugating a biologically active moiety, for example, a renin inhibitor or a viral fusion inhibitor peptide, with purified and isolated protein. The complexes have extended lifetimes in the bloodstream as compared to the unconjugated molecule, and exhibit biological activity for extended periods of time as compared to the unconjugated molecule. The invention also provides anti-viral compounds that are inhibitors of viral infection and/or exhibit anti-fusiogenic properties. In particular, this invention provides compounds having inhibiting activity against viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human parainfluenza virus (HPV), measles virus (MeV), and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and that have extended duration of action for the treatment of viral infections.
