20140219195 | LINK ADAPTATION METHOD SUPERVISED BY THE SELECTION OF AN INTERFERENCE REGIME - The invention relates to a link adaptation method for a cellular or heterogeneous wireless telecommunications system. The communications of the system are organized in pairs of interfering communications. For a first communication between a first transmitting terminal and a first receiving terminal interfering with a second communication between a second transmitting terminal and a second receiving terminal, the first and/or second link(s) are adapted, at a constant transmission power, by selecting a weak or strong interference regime for the first and/or second link(s), the weak regime corresponding to processing of the interference as thermal noise, the strong regime corresponding to processing in which the interfering communication is decoded in order to be eliminated from the received signal. | 08-07-2014 |

20110081674 | CONTINUOUS-FLOW DEFORMABILITY-BASED CELL SEPARATION - This invention provides methods utilizing a microfluidic device that can quickly and accurately discern differences in deformability between individual cells and sets of cells and continuously fractionate populations of cells based on their deformability. This information may be important in disease diagnosis and treatment efficacy monitoring. For example such a device may be able to determine the stage of malarial infection by using red blood cell deformability. Additionally, methods of the invention may be used as a tool to screen drugs that can make cells more flexible in diseases such as sickle cell anemia that causes sickle cell crises. The relatively low manufacturing and operation costs of methods of the invention enable this device to be used in resource-limited settings to diagnose and monitor disease. | 04-07-2011 |

20140312752 | Longitudinal Absorber for Downhole Tool Chassis - A chassis assembly is disclosed for housing at least one circuit board. The chassis has a first chassis part, a second chassis part, and at least three shock absorbers. The first chassis part has a first end and a second end, and a first external surface extending between the first end and the second end. The first chassis part also has a first longitudinal axis extending from the first end to the second end. The second chassis part has a third end and a fourth end and a second external surface extending between the third end and the fourth end. The second chassis pat has a second longitudinal axis extending from the third end to the fourth end. The first and second chassis parts are adapted to cooperate to secure the at least one circuit board within a boundary defined by the first and second external surfaces. The at least three shock absorbers are positioned on the external surfaces of the first and second chassis parts. At least one shock absorber is positioned on the first external surface and extends along the first longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end. At least two shock absorbers are positioned on the second external surface and extend along the second longitudinal axis between the third end and the fourth end. The at least three shock absorbers extend beyond the first and second external surfaces. | 10-23-2014 |
