Abstract: A multi-gateway system is disclosed. The multi-gate system may include an access point associated with a zone, the access point providing a network coverage within the zone; a wireless client adapted to communicate with the access point when the wireless client is in the zone; and a virtual central processing device associated with a virtual media access control (MAC) address, wherein the virtual central processing device communicates with the access point to redirect a data packet between the wireless client and a destination.

Abstract: The present invention provides an antimicrobial peptide, monodoncin, which is isolated and purified from Penaeus monodon and is capable of being mass produced by molecular cloning techniques in a heterologous expression system, such as yeast. Monodoncin demonstrates a wide-range of bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects on G (?) and G (+) bacteria as well as fungicidal activities, and can be used in combination with conventional antibiotics as “cocktail therapy” to improve the therapeutic effects of the conventional antibiotics.

Abstract: A wireless communication device and the method thereof are disclosed. The wireless communication device in accordance with the present invention includes an integrated protocol layer supporting a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol; a single transceiver operative to transmit and receive signals of said first and said second communication protocols.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for canceling a near-end echo of a far-end signal for each channel of a voice over packet multi-channel communications gateway. The invention applies “off-the-shelf” coding mechanisms as well as novel coding schemes to provide fixed compression rate and with options to maintain perfect speech integrity on certain processing components, such as network echo canceller, acoustic echo canceller, Voice Activity Detector, Comfort Noise Generation, etc. The off-the-shelf compression algorithm includes LPC-10, G.723.1, G.729A. The alternatives are Wavelet transform, DPCM, and ADPCM, etc.

Abstract: The present invention provides a register-indirect addressing mode using modulo arithmetic to transpose addresses for digital processing systems. The preferred systems and methods permit direct access of column data, which improves matrix computation significantly. The overhead of transpose mode is minimal because it can be implemented, if desired, by sharing hardware and/or software used in circular buffers. Transpose addressing mode also reduces program size and processor power consumed by reducing the sequence of instruction cycles.
