Abstract: The invention relates to heterocyclic compounds consisting of a core nitrogen atom surrounded by three pendant groups, wherein two of the three pendant groups are preferably benzimidazolyl methyl and tetrahydroquinolyl, and the third pendant group contains N and optionally contains additional rings. The compounds bind to chemokine receptors, including CXCR4 and CCR5, and demonstrate protective effects against infection of target cells by a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for radiolocation using time differences of arrival. The method includes receiving transmit timestamps from a set of wireless stations of a wireless network. Each station transmits at least once. The transmit timestamp uses a local timestamping clock to indicate when a station transmitted a packet. The method further includes receiving sets of timestamped captured samples from each station that receives one of the transmitted packets. The times of arrival of each packet at each station are determined from the received sets of timestamped captured samples, and, the relative positions of the stations are determined from the determined times of arrival and the received transmit timestamps. The transmitting by the stations is in a round robin manner one station after the other, and several round robins may be used to mutually calibrate local clocks. Also an apparatus for inclusion in a station of a wireless network.

Abstract: Tertiary amines containing a multiplicity of heteroaromatic substituents are useful as chemokine receptor modulators.

Abstract: A method for radar protection. The method includes recording energy events and calculating differences in recorded energy events to determine pulses. The method further includes sorting intervals between pulses into histogram bins, each bin representing a range of time intervals between two pulses, each pulse indicative of a radar frequency and limiting network traffic on a frequency based on a selected bin count.

Abstract: Heterocyclic compounds that bind chemokine receptors and inhibit the binding of their natural ligands are disclosed. The invention compounds are protective against infection by HIV and exert effects characteristic of antagonists to the CXCR4 receptor.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel class of heterocyclic compounds that bind chemokine receptors, inhibiting the binding of their natural ligands thereby. These compounds result in protective effects against infection by HIV through binding to chemokine receptors, including CXCR4 and CCR5, thus inhibiting the subsequent binding by these chemokines.

Abstract: Compounds which modulate chemokine receptor activities are disclosed. These compounds are preferably tertiary amines comprising tetrahydroquinoline and benzimidazole.

Abstract: Novel compounds that are useful for targeting chemokine receptors are disclosed. These compounds are complex tertiary amines.

Abstract: A method for detecting undesirable e-mails is disclosed. The method includes collecting a plurality of undesirable e-mails, arranging the plurality of undesirable e-mails into a plurality of groups and generating, for each group, at least one token, thereby producing a plurality of tokens for the plurality of undesirable e-mails. The method further includes receiving a first e-mail and generating at least one token for the first e-mail. The method further includes causing a comparison of the at least one token for the first e-mail with at least one of the plurality of tokens for the plurality of undesirable e-mails and identifying the first e-mail as an undesirable e-mail if the at least one token for the first e-mail matches any of the plurality of tokens for the plurality of undesirable e-mails.

Abstract: A method for detecting undesirable emails is disclosed. The method combines input from two or more spam classifiers to provide improved classification effectiveness and robustness. The method's effectiveness is improved over that of any one constituent classifier in the sense that the detection rate is increased and/or the false positive rate is decreased. The method's robustness is improved in the sense that, if spammers temporarily elude any one constituent classifier, the other constituent classifiers will still be likely to catch the spam. The method includes obtaining a score from each of a plurality of constituent spam classifiers by applying them to a given input email. The method further includes obtaining a combined spam score from a combined spam classifier that takes as input the plurality of constituent spam classifier scores, the combined spam classifier being computed automatically in accordance with a specified false-positive vs. false-negative tradeoff.

Abstract: Tertiary amine compounds that bind chemokine receptors such as CXCR4 and CCR5 are disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus in a node of a wireless network for setting the data rate for sending data to a remote node, and a method for setting the data rate. The method includes receiving a packet from the remote node, determining a measure of signal quality for the received packet; and selecting the data rate for communicating to the remote node according to at least the determined signal quality. The measure of signal quality is a measure of the EVM of the received packet. One implementation conforms to one or more variants of the IEEE 802.11 standard that uses OFDM packets.

Abstract: In an electronic mail system, an apparatus and method for providing, in addition to the conventional “Inbox” directory in which all incoming e-mails are normally received, a plurality of appropriately labeled directories for containing e-mails suspected of being spam, grading the level of spaminess of the incoming e-mails and then moving or copying the incoming e-mails into one or more of the spam directories based upon the e-mails' respective levels of spaminess.

Abstract: Methods for preparing 2,6-diaryl piperidine derivatives are described. More particularly, 2,6-diaryl piperidines having formula 1-4 are prepared by cyclocondensation of an aryl or heteroaryl aldehyde with 1,3-acetonedicarboxylic acid.

Abstract: Compounds that bind to chemokine receptors such as CXCR4 and CCR5 demonstrate protective effects against infection of cells by human immunodeficiency virus are disclosed. These compounds contain a tertiary amine[[s]] linked to a core nitrogen via an aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety.
