Abstract: A voltage and current mode active pixel sensor for high resolution imaging is presented. The photo pixel is composed of a photodiode and two transistors: reset and transconductance amplifier transistor. The switch transistor is moved outside the pixel, allowing for lower pixel pitch and increased linearity of the output photocurrent. The reset and amplifier (readout) transistors may also be shared among adjacent pixels by the introduction of transfer switches between the photodiodes and the source of the reset transistor and the gate of the readout transistor. The switch transistor outside the pixels provides biasing voltages or currents to the readout transistors to selectively turn them on when readout of the corresponding photodiode is desired and turns the readout transistor off when the corresponding photodiode is not to be read out.

Abstract: The teachings presented herein enable a user terminal to perform a fast recovery from a radio link failure. In one aspect, the improvement in recovery time is achieved by commanding or otherwise causing the user terminal to perform radio link failure (RLF) recovery at a cell that is known to possess the user context, while considering that this cell should yield good radio conditions (if not the best) to the user terminal. A cell may be predefined for use by the user terminal in recovering its radio con-nection.  Based on providing signal strength thresholds to the user terminal, for use in determining whether to use a predefined cell for reconnecting to the network, the user terminal attempts RLF recovery first in the predefined cell. By providing user context to the predefined cell in advance of a recovery attempt by the user terminal, the time for recovery is lessened. Note that the user ter-minal also may infer which cells are preferred.

Abstract: p27KIP1 (p27) blocks cell proliferation through inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase 2(dk2)1. Despite its robust expression in the heart2.3, little is known about both the function and regulation of p27 in this and other non-proliferative tissues, where the expression of its main target, cyclin E-Cdk2 is known to be very low4. Angiotensin II (Ang II), a major cardiac growth factors, is demonstrated to induce the proteasomal degradation of p27 through protein kinase CK2-alpha-prime (CK2-alpha-prime) dependent phosphorylation and p27 is demonstrated to reverse established compensated cardiac hypertrophy without exerting any deleterious effect on cardiac function. Provided are methods and compositions for treating heart failure and cardiac hypertrophy.

Title: Incremental implementation of undo/redo support in legacy applications
Inventor: VIK TORBJORN
IPC: G06F17/24
Filed: 2010-09-28
Abstract: Systems and methods are described for incremental implementation of undo\redo support in legacy applications. In one implementation, a system enables a per-object undo/redo process to be realized in pre-existing computer programs that have limited or no undo/redo functionality, while minimizing changes to such pre-existing computer programs. An innovative process stores an undo/redo instruction for each user-initiated operation in a data structure, classifies each undo/redo instruction under one or more objects affected by the operation, or vice/versa, and verifies the validity of each undo/redo instruction before performing an undo/redo. In one implementation, the process stores only undo/redo instructions in the data structure for those operations that can be validated beforehand as being undoable/redoable. Various data structure schemes are available, each of which may increase performance while implementing the undo-redo support for a given legacy software, e.g., by increasing speed and/or decreasing data size, memory consumption, disk consumption, power consumption, and so forth. The ability to validate undoability/redoability before performing an undo/redo operation gives the architecture versatility for updating many different applications.

Abstract: The present invention provides a valve that controls a flow of gas or solid objects through a pipe, and particularly a z-valve used in an elevated rail trans-portation system. The valve includes vanes hinged to a valve stem that fold into a z--shape and retract into the valve body when the valve is open. A valve cap positioned at the top of the valve stem matches the contour of the inner surface of the pipe, al-lowing unobstructed flow. When the valve is closed, the valve stem is elevated into the interior of the pipe and the valve cap rotates 90 to match the contour at the top, providing a seal. The vanes extend from the z-shape to completely block a cross-sec-tion of the pipe, stopping the flow. The flow may be modulated by varying the exten-sion of the vanes to allow a portion of the flow to pass the valve.
