Patent number: 10660951Abstract: Peptide vaccine that is a mixture of different peptide species, where each species has a number of fixed amino acid residues and a number of randomized residues. The fixed resides are the same amino acid residues at the corresponding positions in each species of the mixture while the randomized residues are randomly any available candidate amino acids chosen by design. The degree of randomization may be also been chosen according to the design under a particular situation. This type of peptide vaccines have shown to be able to induce highly specific antibodies against epitopes that are otherwise difficult to induce antibodies in vitro, for example the GPG triplet in the V3 of HIV-1 gp120.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Inventors: Zhiwei Allen Wu, Xilin Wu

Patent number: 5844818Abstract: A method for creating a shell to represent a functional block of an IC design comprising of a plurality of interconnected functional blocks. The critical information from a synthesized gate level block is retained in the shell such that when analyzing the static characteristics of another block connected to the block now represented by the shell the analysis is still accurate. At a hierarchial level the present invention provides a method for analyzing the functional blocks of an IC design such that the memory requirement for storing the information of the functional blocks of the IC design is reduced as well as a decrease in run time.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1996Date of Patent: December 1, 1998Assignee: LSI Logic CorporationInventors: Dan Kochpatcharin, Zarir B. Sarkari, Christian Joly, Allen Wu

Patent number: 5644498Abstract: Gate level netlists used for timing analysis in integrated circuit design are reduced using a timing shell generator while preserving critical information for timing analysis. After verification of timings, the gate level netlist is convened into a shell containing block boundary information. The function of the shell generator is to delete internal cells meeting a set of criteria. The result is a shell netlist containing a subset of the original netlist. Thus, the design cycle time involved and computing time and resources needed in ASIC development for chips using circuits represented by timing shell netlists are decreased by substituting design verification at the top level of large hierarchical netlists or large flat netlists by bottom up verification procedures using timing shells.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 1995Date of Patent: July 1, 1997Assignee: LSI Logic CorporationInventors: Christian Joly, Francois Ducaroir, Zarir Sarkari, Allen Wu

Patent number: 5376968Abstract: Digital video signals are adaptively compressed for communication to a receiver. Superblocks, each containing a plurality of blocks of digital video data, are compressed using PCM, DPCM with a general motion vector for the entire superblock, and DPCM with a specific motion vector for each block contained within a superblock. The result of each compression mode is compared after accounting for overhead data, to determine which results in the least amount of data for each block. These blocks are assembled into a superblock, and compared together with necessary overhead and motion vector data to the same superblock processed using all PCM as well as the superblock processed using all DPCM. The comparison determines which compression mode produces the least amount of data for the superblock. The most compact superblock is selected for transmission.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1993Date of Patent: December 27, 1994Assignee: General Instrument CorporationInventors: Allen Wu, Edward A.

Patent number: 5307375Abstract: A two stage accumulator is provided for updating coefficients. The accumulator is particularly useful in an adaptive equalizer. A first stage of the accumulator receives an error word and outputs sign and carry bits resulting from the addition of the error word and an N-bit LSB portion of a larger M-bit coefficient. A second stage is responsive to the sign and carry bits for updating the (M-N) MSB's of the M-bit coefficient. New error words are cyclically provided to the first stage during successive coefficient update cycles. The first stage can be implemented using an N-bit twos complement adder. The second stage can be implemented using an up/down counter. A leakage function is provided by causing the up/down counter to periodically skip over increment and decrement cycles.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1992Date of Patent: April 26, 1994Assignee: General Instrument CorporationInventors: Allen Wu, Woo H. Paik

Patent number: 5243624Abstract: Convergence of a complex adaptive equalizer used in digital communications is substantially improved by updating all coefficients of the equalizer during each filter clock cycle. Complex signal data is passed through a plurality of successive delay stages to provide N sets of delayed complex signal data. The product of each set and a complex error signal is obtained. Each product is concurrently updated with previous product data for the set to provide N sets of updated complex coefficients for selective input to equalizer filters. In an illustrated embodiment, the updated coefficients are truncated and their gain is adjusted prior to input to the filters. The updated coefficients can be multiplexed to provide a clocked stream of coefficient sets for input to the equalizer filters. A VLSI implementation of the equalizer is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1991Date of Patent: September 7, 1993Assignee: General Instrument CorporationInventors: Woo H. Paik, Scott A.
