Abstract:
Various embodiments are directed towards suppressing inter-cell and intra-cell interference. In some embodiments, an intra-cell interference signal for a specified rake finger is received. An inter-cell interference signal is received. The intra-cell interference signals upstream of a chip-level equalizer are suppressed. The inter-cell interference signals upstream of the chip-level equalizer are suppressed.
Abstract:
An electric motor has an end cap assembly comprising: a base and a cover. The base has a first chamber configured to receive a commutator, a second chamber configured to receive electronic components, and brush boxes having passages configured to receive brushes. The first chamber and the second chamber are respectively formed on opposite sides of the base. The passages of the brush boxes open into the first chamber to allow the brushes to slidably contact a commutator disposed therein. The cover is fixed to the base and covers the second chamber.
Abstract:
A method and system for automatically refining information extraction (IE) rules. A provenance graph for IE rules on a set of test documents is determined. The provenance graph indicates a sequence of evaluations of the IE rules that generates an output of each operator of the IE rules. Based on the provenance graph, high-level rule changes (HLCs) of the IE rules are determined. Low-level rule changes (LLCs) of the IE rules are determined to specify how to implement the HLCs. Each LLC specifies changing an operator's structure or inserting a new operator in between two operators. Based on how the LLCs affect the IE rules and previously received correct results of applying the rules on the test documents, a ranked list of the LLCs is determined. The IE rules are refined based on the ranked list.
Abstract:
Methods, compositions and articles of manufacture involving soluble conjugated polymers are provided. The conjugated polymers have a sufficient density of polar substituents to render them soluble in a polar medium, for example water and/or methanol. The conjugated polymer may desirably comprise monomers which alter its conductivity properties. In some embodiments, the inventors have provided cationic conjugated polymers (CCPs) comprising both solubilizing groups and conductive groups, resulting in conductive conjugated polymers soluble in polar media. The different solubility properties of these polymers allow their deposition in solution in multilayer formats with other conjugated polymers. Also provided are articles of manufacture comprising multiple layers of conjugated polymers having differing solubility characteristics. Embodiments of the invention are described further herein.
Abstract:
The present invention provides VEGF binding peptides. In addition, the invention provides VEGF peptides conjugated to antibodies alone and in conjunction with other anti-angiogenic molecules. Various uses of the peptides and compounds are provided, including methods to treat disorders associated with abnormal angiogenesis.
Abstract:
Aspects of a method and system for a programmable interference suppression module may include receiving a communication signal comprising one or more desired signal, and one or more undesired signals. The communication signal may be utilized to generate estimated channel state information. The estimated channel state information may be formatted for use in interference suppression. A reduced interference signal may be generated from a delayed version of said communications signal and the estimated channel state information, wherein the one or more undesired signals may be attenuated. The reduced interference signal may be formatted for post-processing. The desired signals may comprise WCDMA and/or HSDPA signals, and the undesired signals may be inter-cell and/or intra-cell interference. Further processing may comprise HSDPA processing and/or RAKE finger processing. The communication signal may be a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) compliant signal.
Abstract:
The devices and method are provided for detecting labeled and label-free analytes, such as nucleic acids and proteins, employing conjugated cationic, anionic and neutral polymers. The analytes can be immobilized on a solid support material. The solid support material can be disposed in the pre-fabricated patterns on a substrate. The chemical structures of the polymers employed by the various embodiments of the present invention are described herein.
Abstract:
A pulse activated magnetic trip/reset mechanism for a ground fault circuit interrupter, comprising: (i) a body, (ii) a ferrite core, (iii) a plunger, (iv) a ferrite surrounding, (v) a permanent magnet, (vi) a trip/reset coil, (vii) a reset spring positioned between a plunger block and the body, (viii) a first fixed contact holder having a first fixed contact point, and (ix) a first movable contact holder having a first movable contact point, wherein the first movable contact holder is attached to the body of the plunger such that when the plunger is in its first position (trip position), the first movable contact point is not in contact with the first fixed contact point, and when the plunger is in its second position (reset position), the first movable contact point is in contact with the first fixed contact point.
Abstract:
A universal smart interface and peripheral management system for portable devices such as mobile phones. The smart system includes a connector interface that connects peripherals to a phone and/or personal digital assistant (PDA), through the smart system. The smart system includes a cradle for receiving a cell phone and interfacing the phone to external systems such as peripherals, networks and other systems through a USB hub and other suitable connector interfaces. The peripheral devices to which the smart system can interface include, but are not limited to, large displays (e.g., television), external monitors, input devices such as mice and keyboards, external storage devices, and networks (wired and/or wireless). The smart system also facilitates connectivity to large display systems such as TVs, computer displays and monitors.
