  • Publication number: 20090129356
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus and a system for information transmission are provided. The method includes the following steps. A second user equipment receives update information issued by a wireless access point (AP). The second user equipment is located within a coverage area of the wireless AP. After detecting that the second user equipment has the update information, a first user equipment establishes a connection with the second user equipment and obtains the update information from the second user equipment. The first user equipment is located outside the coverage area of the wireless AP. In the present invention, the user equipment can update the information without additionally increasing the transmit powers of the wireless AP and the user equipments when located outside the coverage area of the wireless AP, and thus the interference to other equipments is minimized.

  • Patent number: 7521473
    Abstract: Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) such as PTP1B can play a role in regulating a wide variety of cellular responses such as insulin signaling. Substituted thiophene compounds such as, for example, 2-carboxyl, 3-carboxymethoxy, 5-aryl substituted thiophenes, can inhibit PTP1B and thereby induce greater insulin sensitivity. Accordingly, PTP1B inhibition can provide an alternate treatment for PTPase-mediated disorders such as diabetes.

  • Publication number: 20090071733
    Abstract: A full hybrid electric vehicle comprises a heat engine, a one-way-clutch connected to the engine shaft, an electric motor, a planetary gear unit, a clutch with limited torque, and a transmission. The planetary gear unit includes at least a sun gear (an input element), a ring gear (an input element) and a pinion carrier (an output element). The torque-limited clutch seats between two of the planetary gear elements. The engine is connected to and applies torque on one of the input elements. The electric motor is connected to and applies torque on the other input element. While the vehicle is running, the engine can be started smoothly by engaging the torque-limited clutch and controlling the motor torque, and a shock on the vehicle similar to a rough shift can be avoided.

  • Patent number: 7463699
    Abstract: DVB-T receivers and methods may provide automatic detection of spectrum inversion using continual pilot correlation. A DVB-T receiver may include a demodulator, a fast Fourier transformation (FFT) unit, and a spectrum inversion detector. The demodulator may demodulate a received DVB-T digital signal according to a spectrum inversion signal, and the FFT unit may perform fast Fourier transformation (FFT) on the demodulated signal. The spectrum inversion detector may calculate continual pilot correlation values for the FFT-processed signal and may generate the spectrum inversion signal to indicate whether spectrum inversion has occurred according to the calculated correlation values. The DVB-T receiver may perform normal correlation and position inversion correlation on continual pilots using a spectrum inversion detector to automatically detect whether spectrum inversion has occurred. Related methods are also discussed.
