  • Publication number: 20240130341
    Abstract: Genetically modified non-human animals that are immunodeficient and comprise xenotransplanted hepatocytes such as human hepatocytes, wherein the genetically modified non-human animal and/or the transplanted hepatocytes are modified to restore interleukin-6 (IL-6)/interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) signaling pathway activity or interleukin-6 receptor subunit beta (GP130) signaling pathway activity in the transplanted hepatocytes, are provided. Also provided are methods of assessing the activity of human-liver-targeting reagents in such non-human animals and methods of making animals with a humanized liver (e.g., with reduced steatosis).

  • Patent number: 9256467
    Abstract: A system and method for a container service that obtains a software image of a software container that has been configured to be executed within a computer system instance registered to a cluster by one or more processors. The container service is configured to receive a request to launch the software image in accordance with a task definition, wherein the task definition specifies an allocation of resources for the software container. The container service may then determine, according to a placement scheme, a subset of a set of container instances registered to the cluster in which to launch the software image in accordance with the task definition. Upon determining the subset of the set of container instances, the container service may launch the software image as one or more running software containers in the set of container instances in accordance with the task definition.

  • Patent number: 7443939
    Abstract: The invention provides a receiver that is capable of deducing the timing of a received signal having a frame structure and corresponding methods. Each frame contains a synchronization word. The receiver correlates the known synchronization word against the received signal to determine the position of the synchronization word. The correlation results can be accumulated over several frames' worth of the signal in order to enhance the determination. The frame boundaries within the signal can be translated and the process of determining the synchronization word position can then be repeated. In this manner, several results for the synchronization word position can be obtained and the best selected. A thresholding process can be used to curtail the number of frames' worth of the received signal that needs to be processed and a mechanism is provided to prevent the thresholding process from biasing the determination of the synchronization word position.

  • Patent number: 7257150
    Abstract: An input signal is mixed with a scrambling code and with an OVSF code, and then accumulated over a period of time equal to one symbol of the pilot channel before being reset. The resultant complex signals are mixed with the conjugate of complex signals provided by a pilot pattern generator, with the result being fed to a delay line (22). A multiplier multiplies the complex value at a location P(n) in the delay line (22) by the conjugate of a complex value at another location P(n+k), and provides the resulting complex number (which is a complex vector whose phase is a coherent measurement of the phase rotation occurring between the symbols corresponding to the two locations) at an output (27). The real part of the complex signal provided at the output (27) is provided to a first combiner (30), and the imaginary part is provided to a second combiner (31). These combiners (30, 31) also receive corresponding signals from all of the other fingers (not shown) of the rake receiver.
