Abstract:
A first handoff is for an inter-AN cell selection where a source AN allows the AT to add a cell under the control of a different AN to its active set and then allows the AT to switch to the target AN. A bearer path is established between the source and target AN to transfer the data traffic using an exchange of messages to register the AT's movement from one BTS to another BTS. The A8/A10 connections remain anchored at the source AN so a bearer path is needed between the source and target AN to transfer the data traffic. The second handoff occurs when the source AN specifies a move of the AT to a new AN proactively. New connections are established at the target AN to support the AT, and the AT is subsequently moved to the target AN via the relevant air-interface messaging.

Abstract:
Substrates, optionally coated with an undercoating, having grafted thereto one or more non-fouling materials are described herein. The non-fouling, polymeric material can be grafted to a variety of functionalized substrate materials, particularly polymeric substrates and/or polymeric undercoatings immobilized on a substrate. The compositions described herein are highly resistant protein absorption, particularly in complex media and retain a high degree of non-fouling activity over long periods of time. The compositions described herein may also demonstrate antimicrobial and/or anti-thrombogenic activity. The non-fouling material can be grafted to a functionalized substrate, or optionally from an undercoating on the substrate, preferably without significantly affecting the mechanical and/or physical properties of the substrate material.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a detection method and a detection kit for EGFR gene mutations, which relates to the therapeutic efficacy of molecular-targeted anti-cancer drugs. Particularly, the present invention relates to a fluorescent quantitative PCR method and kit for detecting mutations at hotspots of EGFR gene, together with the use thereof. The present invention detects the mutations at specific sites of EGFR gene, and can predict the therapeutic efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Therefore, it can provide a guidance to individualize treatments for cancer patients.
Abstract:
A wireless communications network includes a base station to communicate with plural mobile stations over a wireless link. A broadcast message is sent to the plural mobile stations, with the broadcast message containing an indication for indicating to the plural mobile stations that the mobile stations are to change data rates for transmissions over a reverse wireless link.
Abstract:
A system and a method for protecting a resistive touch panel of a communication device includes setting a pressure threshold level, obtaining parameter values of the resistive touch panel and location information of the touch point and calculating the value of the touch resistance. The system and the method further includes confirming a pressure level corresponding to a range of the calculated resistance value, and outputting audio alerts using the alarm unit to prompt that the press action on the resistive touch panel is too forceful if the confirmed pressure level is not lower than the pressure threshold level.
Abstract:
A system and method automatically backup unsaved data in a communication device if a back cover of the communication device is removed. An identifier of an application of the communication device is received. Based on the received identifier, an application corresponding to the received identifier is registered. If the back cover of the communication device is removed, a save signal is sent to the registered application and the unsaved data of the registered application is saved to a storage unit of the communication device.
Abstract:
A method of packaging a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) die includes providing a lead frame having a die pad and lead fingers. The MRAM die is attached to the die pad with a first die attach adhesive and bond pads of the MRAM die are electrically connected to the lead fingers of the lead frame with wires using a wire bonding process. A pre-formed composite magnetic shield is attached to a top surface of the MRAM die with a second die attach adhesive. The magnetic shield includes a magnetic permeable filler material dispersed within an organic matrix. An encapsulating material is dispensed onto a top surface of the lead frame, MRAM die and magnetic shield such that the encapsulating material covers the MRAM die and the magnetic shield. The encapsulating material is then cured.
Abstract:
Methods of reducing pollution problems in power lines systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the method comprises applying Lotus Effect materials as a (superhydrophobicity) protective coating for external electrical insulation system applications. Further disclosed are methods of fabricating/preparing Lotus Effect coatings. Selected inorganic or polymeric materials are applied on the insulating material surface, and stable superhydrophobic coatings can be fabricated. Various UV stabilizers and UV absorbers can be incorporated into the coating system to enhance the coating's UV stability. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are also discussed and claimed.
