Publication number: 20070104259Abstract: Unitary transceiving units employ a multiple carrier, time-division-multiple-access (TDMA), time-division-duplex (TDD protocol to conduct concurrent wireless voice and data communications wherein a first transceiving base station unit tethered to a network interface wirelessly communicates to a second, mobile transceiving unit. The mobile transceiving unit wirelessly transmits and receives packetized voice and data information that is separated and routed to respective voice or data networks. The unitary mobile transceiving unit thus functions as a concurrent voice phone and data communications terminal/computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2007Publication date: May 10, 2007Applicant: ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.Inventors: Christopher Herring, Dannie Feekes

Publication number: 20070031969Abstract: The present invention provides a bacterium having a genome that is genetically engineered to be at least 2 to 14% smaller than the genome of its native parent strain. A bacterium with a smaller genome can produce a commercial product more efficiently. The present invention also provides methods for deleting genes and other DNA sequences from a bacterial genome. The methods provide precise deletions and seldom introduces mutations to the genomic DNA sequences around the deletion sites. Thus, the methods can be used to generate a series of deletions in a bacterium without increasing the possibility of undesired homologous recombination within the genome. In addition, some of the methods provided by the present invention can also be used for replacing a region of a bacterial genome with a desired DNA sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2005Publication date: February 8, 2007Inventors: Frederick Blattner, Gyorgy Posfai, Christopher Herring, Guy Plunkett, Jeremy Glasner
