Abstract: A power detector device includes a power detector circuit, a filter circuit, and a calibration circuitry. The power detector circuit is configured to detect a first signal to generate a second signal. The filter circuit is configured to filter the second signal to generate a third signal. The calibration circuitry is configured to determine first signal strength information in response to the third signal, adjust a gain of the power detector circuit to obtain second signal strength information, and combine the first signal strength information and the second signal strength information, in order to calibrate a detection power range of the power detector circuit to be linear.

Abstract: An indicator circuit includes a power detection circuit and a codeword mapping circuit. The power detection circuit is coupled to a signal output terminal of a transmitter circuit, and is arranged to detect a power of an output signal to generate a detection result. The codeword mapping circuit is arranged to generate an indicator codeword according to the detection result, wherein the codeword mapping circuit converts the detection result according to a plurality of non-linear bases to correspondingly generate a plurality of converted detection results, and combines the plurality of converted detection results to generate the indicator codeword.

Abstract: An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus may include determining a prediction mode of a current block, generating a prediction block of the current block based on intra block copy (IBC) prediction mode information, based on the prediction mode of the current block being an IBC prediction mode, determining a size of a transform block of the current block based on a color component of the current block, generating a residual block of the current block based on the size of the transform block; and reconstructing the current block based on the prediction block and the residual block of the current block.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to novel xylose isomerases and their uses, particularly in fermentation processes that employ xylose-containing media.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating cellular proliferative diseases, in particular cancer, which comprises administering a modulator of the activity of the mitotic kinesin KSP, wherein the activity of the KSP modulator is dependent on the presence of microtubules. It is believed that the KSP modulators utilized in the instant method bind to the KSP protein in a previously unreported manner, since the compounds do not bind competitively with respect to either microtubules or ATP, the substrates of KSP. The modulators useful in the instant methods are furthermore not active against the non-microtubule stimulated activity of KSP. Cellular proliferative diseases that may be treated using the method disclosed herein are, for example cancer, hyperplasias, restenosis, cardiac hypertrophy, immune disorders and inflammation.
