| 20110087946 | LOW COMPLEXITY FINITE PRECISION DECODERS AND APPARATUS FOR LDPC CODES - In this invention, a new class of finite precision multilevel decoders for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is presented. These decoders are much lower in complexity compared to the standard belief propagation (BP) decoder. Messages utilized by these decoders are quantized to certain levels based on the number of bits allowed for representation in hardware. A message update function specifically defined as part of the invention, is used to determine the outgoing message at the variable node, and the simple min operation along with modulo 2 sum of signs is used at the check node. A general methodology is provided to obtain the multilevel decoders, which is based on reducing failures due to trapping sets and improving the guaranteed error-correction capability of a code. Hence these decoders improve the iterative decoding process on finite length graphs and have the potential to outperform the standard floating-point BP decoder in the error floor region. The description and apparatus of 3-bit decoders for column-weight three LDPC codes is also presented. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20100010781 | UNIVERSAL METHOD FOR MODELING THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN AT LEAST ONE WAVE AND AT LEAST ONE OBJECT, THE SURFACE OF EACH OBJECT DEFINING AN INTERFACE BETWEEN AT LEAST TWO MEDIA - The present invention relates to a method for modeling the interactions within a system between at least one object. The surface of each object defines an interface between at least two media. The set of elementary characteristic functions are chosen that correspond to the field of application in question. The physical properties of each medium considered composing the system are defined. Each object of the system is created by modeling it as a mesh and at least one elementary point source is associated with either side of each mesh element. The type of boundary conditions are determined for each interface. The global matrix for the interactions between the various objects is constructed, depending on the type of boundary conditions, the properties of the media and on the configuration of the system. The global matrix is inverted. The inverted matrix is multiplied by a column matrix containing the values of the excitation boundary conditions. A column matrix is obtained that contains the values of all of the elementary point sources. At every point in the system, the physical quantities representative of the interactions are calculated and an analytical model of the interactions within the system is obtained. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20080285418 | Optimized media structure for bit-wise multi-layer optical data - An optical medium including a plurality of data layers stacked relative to each other in a dielectric medium. A respective data layer including mark and land regions for having information recorded thereon. A mark region and a land region in the respective data layer are disposed beside each other and have substantially the same optical path length across respective thicknesses of the mark region and the land region. A method and computer program product associated with forming the optical medium which determines whether an admittance curve for a material to be used as the mark region forms an intersection with a desired admittance curve based on the admittance of a land region disposed beside the mark region, and determines a thickness of the material based on the intersection. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080261818 | Methods of Identifying Pancreatic Cancer Cells - Methods that identify cells as pancreatic cancer cells based on assessing the expression of combinations of target molecules expressed preferentially on pancreatic cancer cells are disclosed. Combinations were initially discovered by microarray analysis and selected based upon tumor specificity, relative lack of cross-reactivity with normal tissues, and applicability as targets of multispecific ligands. The claimed methods encompass measuring the expression of three or more specific target molecules in combination and correlating positive expression of the combination with an identification of the cell as a pancreatic cancer cell. | 10-23-2008 |
