Abstract: A working vehicle according to the present invention includes a pair of front frames and a pair of main frames that are detachably connected to each other, a reinforcing member coupling the pair of main frames while being overlapped therewith in a side view, a pair of attachment stays fixedly attached to outer side surfaces of the pair of main frames so as to be at least partially overlapped with the reinforcing member in a side view. A cabin is supported in a vibration-isolation manner at no less than four positions including the pair of attachment stays and right and left supporting positions that are provided at a pair of rear axle cases or a transmission case. The working vehicle can enhance stabilization of support of the cabin while simplifying a structure.

Abstract: A GNSS receiver in a wake up state during a standby mode may acquire ephemeris from received GNSS signals such as GPS signals and/or GLONASS signals. When subsequently transitioning from the standby mode to a normal mode operating at a high frequency clock, the acquired ephemeris may be utilized to generate a navigation solution for the GNSS receiver. The GNSS receiver in the wake up state during the standby mode may be switched to operate at the high frequency clock in order to receive GNSS signals. The GNSS receiver may extract complete ephemeris from the received GNSS signals, and may subsequently transition from the wake up state to a sleep state during the standby mode to save power. Radio frequency front-end components of the GNSS receiver may only be turned on to receive the GNSS signals. The GNSS receiver may transition between the standby mode and the normal mode.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the development of a dual promoter system (preferably a RNA pol I-pol II system) for the efficient intracellular synthesis of viral RNA. The resultant minimal plasmid-based system may be used to synthesize any RNA virus, preferably viruses with a negative single stranded RNA genome. The viral product of the system is produced when the plasmids of the system are introduced into a suitable host cell. One application of the system is production of attenuated, reassortant influenza viruses for use as antigens in vaccines. The reassortant viruses generated by cotransfection of plasmids may comprise genes encoding the surface glycoproteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase from an influenza virus currently infecting the population and the internal genes from an attenuated influenza virus. An advantageous property of the present invention is its versatility; the system may be quickly and easily adapted to synthesize an attenuated version of any RNA virus.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods for scheduling and executing commands issued by a first processor, such as a CPU, on a second processor, such as a GPU, are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of executing processes on a graphics processing unit (GPU) includes monitoring one or more buffers in a memory, selecting a first subset from the one or more buffers for execution on the GPU based on a workload profile of the GPU, and executing the first subset on the GPU. The GPU may also receive a priority ordering of the one or more buffers, where the selecting is further based on the received priority ordering. By performing prioritization and scheduling of commands in the GPU, system performance is enhanced.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing video data are provided herein. Aspects of the method may comprise receiving on a chip, a plurality of video frames and storing a portion of the received video frames in a memory on the chip. A first portion of the stored video frames may be decoded on the chip and a second portion of the stored video frames may be encoded on the chip during the decoding. A third portion of the stored video frames may be converted from an input video format to a YUV video format. A reference frame corresponding to the converted third portion may be identified from the stored video frames. After conversion, the converted third portion of the received video frames may be utilized as the reference frame for estimating/encoding, or compensating/decoding temporal motion of the subsequently received video frames.

The sole comprises a midsole, an intermediate sole, and a ground contacting surface. At least a portion of the intermediate sole extends from the midsole such that a forefoot bulge substantially covers the forefoot portion of the ground contacting surface and a heel bulge substantially covers the heel portion of the ground contacting surface.

Abstract: Embodiments for a method and apparatus of selecting a transmission mode between the subscriber and a base station are disclosed. One method includes determining a predictive window. Instantaneous channel quality measurements are averaged, wherein the averaging is dependent upon a size of the predictive window. A first estimate of the transmission mode is determined based on the averaged instantaneous channel quality measurements. A margin is calculated based on reception of a qualifying downlink transmission. The transmission mode is selected by updating the first estimate with the margin.

In this regard, one or more circuits in a wireless communication device may be operable to receive a raw signal comprising one or more desired signals from one or more serving base transceiver stations (BTSs) and comprising one or more undesired signals from one or more non-listened BTSs. The one or more circuits may be operable to generate first estimate signals that estimate the one or more undesired signals as transmitted by the one or more non-listened BTSs, generate an interference suppressed version of the raw signal based on the first estimate signals, and recover the one or more desired signals from the interference suppressed version of the raw signal. The non-listened BTSs may comprise one or more BTSs that are not serving the wireless communication device and are not involved in a handoff of the wireless communication device.
