  • Patent number: 7865201
    Abstract: A HARQ data reception scheme for a multiradio communication device is disclosed. The communication device operates multiple radio connections and monitors interference level caused to a target radio connection by at least one other radio connection operated in the communication device. A data packet and at least one retransmission data packet are received with the target radio connection. The utilization of the received data packet and the at least one received retransmission data packet in a hybrid automatic repeat request data reception is determined according to the interference level at the time instant associated with the reception of the corresponding data packet. Under high interference, the received data packet may be discarded, and detected and decoded data packets may be weighted for the HARQ combining according to the interference levels associated with the data packets.

  • Patent number: 7850643
    Abstract: Materials having barrier characteristics are used with a balloon of a catheter assembly and a sheath for covering the balloon. The barrier materials prevent significant absorption of therapeutic substances used in association with the balloon, for example via a medicated prosthesis, into the balloon wall or the sheath. Accordingly the quantity and concentration of the therapeutic substances are preserved. Materials which can serve as a barrier include barrier polymers, polymers with additive fillers, polymers with a metallic coating, metallic films, polymers with a main group element oxide coating, and sulfonated or fluorinated polymers. For the sheath, materials such as glass and metals also function effectively.

  • Patent number: 7853418
    Abstract: A frequency error estimation algorithm is presented for use in radio receivers, for example. The present algorithm utilizes irregular time intervals between pilot symbols to improve the frequency range of the estimate. First, a first phase rotation indicator comprising information on phase rotation of a received signal within a first time interval is estimated. Then, a second phase rotation indicator comprising information on phase rotation of the received signal within a second time interval of a different length than the first time interval is estimated. A frequency error estimate is calculated from the phase difference between the first phase rotation indicator and the second phase rotation indicator, for example by dividing the phase difference by the difference in the lengths of the first and the second time interval.

  • Patent number: 7834142
    Abstract: This invention relates to similar compound of glucagon-like peptide 1 (glucagon-like peptide-1, GLP-1) secreted by insulinotropic hormone, i.e. shortened glucagon-like peptide 1 (sGLP-1) consisting of 26 aminoacids. Its sequence is as follows: His-X1-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Val-Ser-Ser-Tyr-Leu-Glu-Gly-Gln-Ala-Ala-Lys-Glu-Phe-Ile-Ala-Trp-Leu (SEQ ID NO: 2). In comparison with the present GLP-1 and its similar compound, the shortened glucagon-like peptide 1 (sGLP-1) in this invention has the following prominent advantages: 1. After reconstruction, the shortened peptide chain has stronger simulation to islet cell captors and stronger insulin secretion stimulation action; 2. the reconstructed simulation sequence can resist dipeptidyl peptidase decomposition by change of the second aminoacid sequence from Ala to Gly or Ser to prolong its half time and enhance drug action; 3. To shorten the peptide chain leads to reduced synthesis cost.
