摘要:
A system and methodology that facilitates efficient utilization of bandwidth on a transmission link between a base station and a core mobility network, during content delivery is provided. Moreover, the system includes a data storage device, adjunct to, or integrated within, the base station for storing content locally. Typically, the data storage device is updated by downloading content from the core network at an optimal time. For example, content can be downloaded to the data storage device when the core network-to-base station link is idle, under utilized and/or has sufficient bandwidth for the download. On receiving a request for content from a user equipment (UE), the base station can directly deliver the content to the UE from the data storage device, over an air interface, when the requested content is locally available.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to transgenic animals, as well as compositions and methods relating to the characterization of gene function. Specifically, the present disclosure provides transgenic mice comprising mutations in a low density lipoprotein-related protein 5 (Lrp5) gene. Such transgenic mice are useful as models for disease and for identifying agents that modulate gene expression and gene function, and as potential treatments for various disease states and disease conditions.
摘要:
NTNRα, NTNRα extracellular domain (ECD), NTNRα variants, chimeric NTNRα (e.g., NTNRα immunoadhesion), and antibodies which bind thereto (including agonist and neutralizing antibodies) are disclosed. Various uses for these molecules are described, including methods to modulate cell activity and survival by response to NTNRα-ligands, for example NTN, by providing NTNRα to the cell.

Particulate plant sterol compositions having defined particle size distribution (PSD) characteristics are provided. Processes for preparing the compositions and methods for dispersing the compositions in aqueous media are also provided.
摘要:
A transdermal therapeutic system in plaster form for controlled release of oestradiol in combination with norethisterone acetate, comprising a backing layer, a reservoir supersaturated with active ingredients which is attached to said backing layer and prepared using polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesives and crystallization inhibitors, and a detachable protective layer, is characterized in that the crystallization inhibitor is an amino-containing polymer.
摘要:
A document processing device having an evaluation region disposed along a transport path between an input and output receptacle capable of processing both currency bills and identification cards. An evaluation unit enables entry of source identification information before or after processing currency bills. Memory is adapted to store source identification information for multiple batches of currency. Multiple batches are placed in the processing, device for multiple batch processing. The evaluation region includes detectors for detecting predetermined characteristics of currency bills and distinguishing identification cards from currency. During processing, the identification card, or other separator card, is sent to a predetermined output receptacle designated as a reject receptacle. Currency that is rejected is sent to the reject receptacle. Rejected currency is separated into batches by the identification cards sent to the reject receptacle during processing.
摘要:
A currency processing device is disclosed according to one embodiment of the present invention. The currency processing device comprises an input receptacle for receiving a stack of currency bills to be processed, a plurality of output receptacles for receiving currency bills that have been processed, an evaluation unit for determining information concerning each of the currency bills, a transportation mechanism for transporting each of the currency bills, one at a time, from the input receptacle past the evaluation unit to the plurality of output receptacles, and a controller for controlling the operation of the of the transport mechanism. The transportation mechanism includes. a first portion adapted to transport bills at a first speed and a second portion adapted to transport bills at a second speed.
摘要:
A novel growth factor, persephin, which belongs to the GDNF/neurturin family of growth factors, is disclosed. The human, mouse and rat amino acid sequences have been identified. Human, mouse and rat persephin genomic DNA sequences have been cloned and sequenced and the respective cDNA sequences identified. In addition, methods for treating degenerative conditions using persephin, methods for detecting persephin gene alterations and methods for detecting and monitoring patient levels of persephin are provided. Methods for identifying additional members of the persephin-neurturin-GDNF family of growth factors are also provided.

摘要:
A method and apparatus featuring the compression and decompression of the video image data on a single application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which utilizes typical Huffman coding techniques, but which defines a run count generally as a plurality of zeros between each pair of ones and which further uses a prediction window having substantially no directional biasing errors associated therewith. Additionally, the compression/decompression apparatus of this invention utilizes a reordering technique whereby all of the "high confidence" predictions are placed in one end of the buffer and all the "low confidence" predictions are placed in another end of the same buffer. This reordering, together with the unbiased window configuration and associated run length count definition, allows for high efficiency lossless compression and decompression of associated image data.
