  • Publication number: 20060075414
    Abstract: A packaging methodology for adding functionality to a data storage device (disk drive, tape drive, other storage device, or storage subsystem) while maintaining the same form factor, standard size, or allocated size; or by increasing the overall package size to a larger form factor, standard size, or allocated size. Different standard sizes of storage devices commonly referred to as form factors, the increase in storage densities, electronic miniaturization, smaller electronic assemblies performing the same/similar function, and modularized storage subsystems mean that additional functionality may be packaged within any given standard storage size (form factor): A storage device's function may be enhanced while maintaining the same volume (same length, width, height) or standard size (form factor) as was allocated for in the design of the storage device.

  • Publication number: 20050282187
    Abstract: A set of contiguous and partially overlapping cDNA sequences and polypeptides encoded thereby, designated as UT116 and transcribed from urinary tract tissue, is described. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, in vivo imaging, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the urinary tract, such as urinary tract cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to UT116-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific UT116 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of urinary tract diseases, tumors or metastases.

  • Patent number: 6801788
    Abstract: A telecommunication base station transceiver subsystem that can be easily configured to provide single or multi-carrier frequency service. The base station is divided into a main unit and a radio unit such that the radio unit is positioned proximate to the antennas and the main unit is remotely located from the radio unit. A single base station transceiver can provide service via multiple wireless protocols, such as CDMA, TDMA, GSM or Analog. The base station transceiver .can also operate on various transmit/receive frequencies as well as variable transmit power settings. Furthermore, the base station transceiver can be reprogrammed, reconfigured and/or statused by a network operations center.
