Abstract: A method for processing an automatic identification system (AIS) baseband signal based on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is provided. A signal output by a bus is cached in a message buffer and then sent to a Gaussian filtered minimum shift keying (GMSK) modulator after being encoded by a frame encoder. Another signal output by the bus is processed by an AIS access control module and then also sent to the GMSK modulator. The two signals output by the bus are respectively output to two digital to analog converters (DACs) after being modulated by the GMSK modulator; a digital signal is converted into an analog signal, and the analog signal is sent to an I/Q or two-point modulation radio frequency (RF) circuit. Two received baseband signals are respectively input into analog to digital converters (ADCs) and separately sent to the bus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for designing and producing novel CD40:CD154 binding interrupter compounds and methods using these compounds to treat conditions associated with inappropriate CD154 activation in a subject. This invention also relates to novel methods for screening candidate compounds for the properties of specifically binding CD154 and interrupting CD40:CD154 interaction. This invention further relates to methods of improving the binding affinity, or the ability to block CD40/CD154 interaction, of a synthetic molecule for a trimeric protein, such as CD154. These methods comprise converting a first synthetic molecule that cannot promote lattice or aggregate formation of its target trimeric protein to a second synthetic molecule that can promote lattice or aggregate formation of its target trimeric protein.

Abstract: Methods for the analysis of receptor-ligand pairs are herein described. The methods can provide information about the binding affinity of a ligand to a receptor or can provide information about the binding kinetics of a ligand to a receptor. In some instances, the methods provide a very general system for evaluating and/or optimizing receptor-ligand interactions, which can be applied to a variety of types of receptor-ligand interactions, for example protein-small molecule interactions.

Abstract: A general system for screening targets (e.g., biomolecules) is described. The screening can be used to discover compounds that bind to a naturally occurring low activity or inactive state of a target and act as inhibitors of the target function as seen in subsequent biological assays.
