Abstract: A GNSS receiver and method for GNSS memory code generation are disclosed. The GNSS receiver comprises a buffer, a correlator, and a selector. The buffer receives and stores a plurality of first code segments. Each of the first code segment is at least a portion of a memory code. The selector selects a selecting window of the first code segments stored in the buffer as a second code segment according to the code phase selection signal. The correlator calculates a correlation between a received GNSS signal and the second code segment.

Abstract: A BOC signal acquisition and tracking apparatus and method. In the present invention, at least a BOC signal, a BOC-cos signal and a PRN coded signal are generated for a received signal. Depending on application condition (e.g. acquisition mode or tracking mode), autocorrelation of the BOC signal is combined with cross-correlation of the BOC signal and one of the BOC-cos signal and the PRN coded signal to generate a proper combined correlation result.

Abstract: A multi-well system is described which is comprised of a tray comprising a plurality of wells which may include thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of wells or more. Each of the wells has a unique address. The system includes a tray top comprised of a plurality of areas wherein each of the areas corresponds uniquely to each of the wells and includes a unique address. The system may include a second tray top also comprised of a plurality of areas with unique addresses which uniquely correspond to each of the wells. The areas on the tops have compounds bound to those areas which compounds bind to components present in the wells and are used to obtain specific material in each well for analysis.

Abstract: This invention generally relates to a methods, devices and kits for screening single cells for the production of one or more biologically active agents of interest, such as a protein, nucleic acid, or a protein and the nucleic acid encoding same.

Abstract: A glasses construction includes an auxiliary frame coupled with optical lenses and disposed as needed behind the middle portion of a glasses frame coupled with lenses; and a protective frame disposed behind and snap-engaged with the glasses frame. The glasses frame and the protective frame together limit the position of the auxiliary frame. Two connecting elements, pivotally disposed on two sides of the glasses frame, respectively, are snap-engaged with connecting members extending from the ends of two temples and stopping portions formed beside the connecting members to thereby form a glasses construction. Hence, the combination or separation between the glasses frame and the protective frame, between the glasses frame and the auxiliary frame, or between the two connecting elements pivotally disposed on two sides of the glasses frame and the temples is advantageously characterized by quick positioning or removal by convenient operation.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a shared processor architecture in a receiver system is disclosed. The receiver system is configured to have a first functional stage and a second functional stage for processing information carried by signals from a first transmitter system and a second transmitter system respectively. The first functional stage and the second functional stage correspond to an identical signal processing function. The shared processor architecture includes a first processor, allocated to the first functional stage and the second functional stage, for processing an output generated from the first functional stage or an output from the second functional stage.

Abstract: A signal pattern detecting apparatus, which is capable of detecting a physical mark in a read back signal being read from an optical disc, includes a matching signal generator, a signal comparing device, and a decision circuit. The matching signal generator is utilized for generating a matching signal, capable of being utilized to identify the physical mark, according to a reference clock and a wobble clock. The signal comparing device is electrically connected to the matching signal generator, and utilized for comparing the matching signal with a wobble data signal to generate a comparison signal. The decision circuit is electrically connected to the signal comparing device, and utilized for generating an indication signal according to the comparison signal and a threshold value. Both the wobble data signal and the wobble clock are derived from the read back signal.
