Abstract: A method for antenna subset selection by joint processing in RF and baseband in a multi-antenna systems. Lt input data streams are generated in a transmitter for either diversity transmission or multiplexing transmission. These streams are modulated to RF signals. These signals are switched to the t branches associated with the t transmit antennas, and a phase-shift transformation is applied to the RF signals by a t×t matrix multiplication operator ?1, whose output are t?Lt RF signals. These signals are transmitted over a channel by t antennas. The transmitted signals are received by r antennas in a receiver. A phase-shift transformation is applied to the r RF signals by a r×r matrix multiplication operator ?2. Lr branches of these phase shifted streams are demodulated and further processed in baseband to recover the input data streams.

Abstract: A source signal transmitted through multiple channels having space, time and frequency diversities to generate multiple received signals is recovered by an iterative associative memory model with dynamic maximum likelihood estimation. A current symbol vector representing the multiple received signals is projected to a net-vector using a linear matrix operation with a weight matrix W. The weight matrix is obtained by a singular value decomposition of an input symbol sequence. The net-vector is mapped to a nearest symbol vector using a non-linear operation with an activation function. The projecting and mapping steps are repeated until the nearest symbol vector converges to a valid symbol vector representing the source signal.

Abstract: A receiver in a multiple-input-multiple-output, frequency-selective fading wireless communication systems sequentially recovers multiple data stream. A next input stream, having a highest signal-to-noise ratio is selected. The selected input stream is equalized, detected and decoded. The decoded data stream is then substracted from the data streams, and the selecting, equalizing, detecting and decoding, and subtracting is repeated until all of the data streams have been decoded.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the non-enzymatic glycosylation of amyloidogenic proteins and the consequent formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts (AGEs). It has been found that formation of AGE-amyloidogenic proteins can enhance amyloidosis. The invention further relates to compositions and methods for the prevention and treatment of amyloidosis associated with amyloid diseases, particularly neurodegenerative disease and Type II diabetes, and more particularly Alzheimer's disease. In a specific example, aggregation of an amyloidogenic peptide, &bgr;AP, is enhanced by the glycosylation reaction of &bgr;AP to form AGE-&bgr;AP as defined herein. Accordingly, the invention extends to a method for modulating the in vivo aggregation of amyloid polypeptides and associated amyloidosis by controlling the formation and presence of AGE-amyloid polypeptide.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods and compositions for treating amyloidogenic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and the development of type II diabetes, in which deposition of amyloid in organs such as the brain and pancreas interfere with neurological function and insulin release, respectively. The methods and compositions are directed toward increasing the activity of scavenger cells within the body at recognizing and removing amyloid deposits from affected tissues and organs. Scavenger cells may be targeted to amyloid deposits by means of spontaneously-occurring chemical modifications called advanced glycosylation endproducts (AGEs). Compositions are described which increase scavenger cell activity towards AGE-modified amyloid.
