20140253387 | HIGH-RESOLUTION LINK-PATH DELAY ESTIMATOR AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING A SIGNAL-PATH DELAY - Embodiments of a high-resolution link-path delay estimator and method are generally described herein. The high-resolution link-path delay estimator may estimate a signal-path delay of a signal path between a master and remote device. The high-resolution link-path delay estimator may phase-shift a transmit signal of alternating symbols by phase-shift values and may sample a loopback signal. A noise-reduced version of the sampled signal output may be correlated with a step function to generate a correlation value for each of the phase-shift values. One of the phase-shift values may be selected to generate a fine-delay estimate which may be added to a coarse delay estimate to determine the signal-path delay. The coarse delay estimate may be an estimate of the signal-path delay to a nearest symbol period of the transmit signal and the fine-delay estimate may be an estimate to within a fraction of the symbol period. | 09-11-2014 |

20100180322 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLOATING PORT CONFIGURATION - A system and method automatically configures the interfaces of an intermediate network device. A discovery process operating at the device detects the identity or type of network entities actually coupled to the device's interfaces. Utilizing the identity or type of detected entities, a look-up is performed to obtain a configuration macro specially defined for each detected network entity. The retrieved configuration macros are executed and applied at the respective interfaces. During operation, the intermediate network device continues to monitor the identity and type of entities actually coupled to its interfaces. If a change is detected, such as an entity moving from a first to a second interface, the specially defined configuration macro for that entity floats from the first to the second interface where it is executed and applied. | 07-15-2010 |

20140350235 | IN SITU OLIGONUCLEOTIDE SYNTHESIS ON A PARAMAGNETIC SUPPORT - A novel method for attaching oligonucleotides to a paramagnetic solid support is disclosed. Conventional methods of attachment require that oligonucleotides be pre-synthesized with specific end modifications, which is laborious and expensive. Instead, we attached oligonucleotides to paramagnetic beads by direct synthesis of the oligonucleotides on the surface of the beads. An external magnet was used to hold the paramagnetic beads in place during solid-phase synthesis. A magnetic force was applied directly to the beads to prevent their loss, in particular, during reagent purge-to-waste steps that involved high-pressure drain or vacuum. This method can be adapted for use in any laboratory working with conventional synthesis automation, and can be employed, for example, with single columns and multi-well titer plates. | 11-27-2014 |

The environmental controller may select the target speed based on the speeds of additional fans or the fans may be controlled in unison. The closed loop control system includes a proportional weight. When a measured cooling fan speed deviates from the target speed by more than a threshold error value, the proportional weight is constant. As the measured cooling fan speed approaches the target speed, and the threshold error value is crossed, the proportional weight is variable. The variance may be a function of time such as a periodic stair step function. | 03-29-2012 |
