  • Publication number: 20180183541
    Abstract: A method comprising, receiving digital-electrical input symbols of a stream of input symbols, the input symbols corresponding to signal points of a symbol constellation. The method also comprises classifying the input symbols, wherein a first symbol class comprises input symbols corresponding to signal points that are variant to rotation of the symbol constellation, and, a second symbol class comprises input symbols corresponding to signal points that are invariant to rotation of the symbol constellation. The method also comprises applying selective differential coding only to those input symbols of the first symbol class.

  • Patent number: 7868163
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel adenyl dinucleotides which are isomers of the dinucleotide Ap2A, having formulae (I) and (II). The dinucleotides of the invention have antitumour activity, particularly against tumours of haematological origin, such as for example leukaemias and lymphomas. The invention further relates to the use of such dinucleotides as antitumour medicaments. Finally, the invention relates to an enzymatic method for preparing the dinucleotides of formulae (I) and (II) and to an enzymatic assay method for the dinucleotide of formula (I) which is based on its complete conversion to NAD+.

  • Patent number: 7786042
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel use of fluridone—compound known per se and used as an aquatic erbicide—in the medical field, in particular as an active compound for preparing a medicament having anti-inflammatory activity. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising fluridone as an active compound and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents are also disclosed. Finally, there is disclosed the pro-inflammatory activity of abscisic acid (ABA), a plant hormone which is also found in mammal serum and against which fluridone acts an inhibitor.
