  • Patent number: 7813735
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a power efficient cell search in a multi-cell wireless communication system are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) having a memory that stores a cell identification list of prioritized previously top-ranked cell identities (IDs) is used to perform the cell search. A primary synchronization code (PSC) correlation peak location on a received signal is selected. A common pilot channel (CPICH) correlation value is determined by non-coherent integration of a local signal created based on a first cell ID on the cell identification list to the received signal. If the CPICH correlation value is greater than a noise threshold, thus indicating that the first cell ID is a newly found cell ID, or if a last cell ID in the cell identification list is reached, an additional determination is made as to whether there is more than one cell ID on the list having the same timing.

  • Publication number: 20090266720
    Abstract: A method and device for protecting rope (the term “rope” meaning herein a traditional rope or any other item that would be degraded by contact with oxygen) from reactive atmospheric gases, the basic method comprising introducing a gas having a greater molecular weight than does oxygen, O2, termed a “heavy gas,” into a container having a low permeability to gas. Preferably, the heavy gas is an inert gas; and, most preferably, the heavy gas is argon. Also preferably, after introduction of the heavy gas, the heavy gas is removed, creating a vacuum within the container; and, most preferably the process of introduction and removal is repeated two times. Optionally, argon can be reintroduced into the container prior to sealing of the container. The device for protecting rope is, logically, the container and its contents resulting from the process just described.

  • Patent number: 7375118
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to small molecule inhibitors of the IgE response to allergens, which are useful in the treatment of allergy and/or asthma or any diseases where IgE is pathogenic. This invention also relates to phenyl-indole molecules that are cellular proliferation inhibitors and thus are useful as anticancer agents. This invention further relates to small molecules which suppress cytokines and leukocytes.
