| 20100263112 | NECK PROTECTIVE COLLAR WITH SAFETY BREAKABLE STRUCTURE - A collar for protecting the neck of a user, useful in particular for motorcycle riders, is envisaged, said collar comprising two half-collars which are pivotably hinged together at one end so as to be rotatable in a substantially horizontal plane and which can be connected together by means of a fastening and release lever, a safety structure which at the rear extends downwards from the bottom edge of the collar so as to be centred with respect to the spinal column of the user, and a protective shield which extends downwards at the front. The safety structure has a breakable structure made of the material with an impact strength lower than the material forming the collar so as to break in a programmed manner in the event of impacts following falls. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20100315169 | PLL DISTURBANCE CANCELLATION - Techniques for cancelling a disturbance signal from a PLL output signal. In an aspect, a cancellation signal is combined with the signal input to a VCO or DCO in the PLL. In a further aspect, the appropriate cancellation signal is derived by analyzing one or more signals within the PLL. The signals within the PLL may be correlated against one or more disturbance signal templates, such as a sinusoid having a known frequency, to derive one or more correlation coefficients. The coefficients may be applied to weight one or more disturbance synthesis functions to generate the cancellation signal. Further aspects provide for joint analysis, synthesis, and cancellation of signals having unknown frequency from the PLL output. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20100277211 | DIGITAL PHASE-LOCKED LOOP WITH TWO-POINT MODULATION USING AN ACCUMULATOR AND A PHASE-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER - A digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) supporting two-point modulation is described. In one design, the DPLL includes a phase-to-digital converter and a loop filter operating in a loop, a first processing unit for a lowpass modulation path, and a second processing unit for a highpass modulation path. The first processing unit receives an input modulating signal and provides a first modulating signal to a first point inside the loop after the phase-to-digital converter and prior to the loop filter. The second processing unit receives the input modulating signal and provides a second modulating signal to a second point inside the loop after the loop filter. The first processing unit may include an accumulator that accumulates the input modulating signal to convert frequency to phase. The second processing unit may include a scaling unit that scales the input modulating signal with a variable gain. | 11-04-2010 |

A measurement circuit may include a sensor and a computation unit. The sensor may sense (i) a first voltage signal across a series circuit coupled to a load to obtain a first sensed signal and (ii) a second voltage signal at a designated end of the series circuit to obtain a second sensed signal. The sensor may mix (i) a first version of the first sensed signal with a first version of the second sensed signal to obtain a first sensor output and (ii) a second version of the first sensed signal with a second version of the second sensed signal to obtain a second sensor output. The computation unit may determine the impedance and/or delivered power at the designated end of the series circuit based on the sensor outputs. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20110263437 | Analysis of Y-Chromosome STR Markers - The methods and compositions provided herein relate to the discovery of 13 STR are markers found on the human Y chromosome with surprisingly high mutation rates when compared with 173 other Y-STR markers known today, including those that are in common use in forensics. In addition to theoretical expectations based on elevated mutation rates, these 13 rapidly-mutating (RM) Y-STRs proved to be suitable for differentiating between closely related males, as well as between more distant male relatives and much more so than the most-commonly used Y-STRs in forensics. Our new set of RM-Y-STRs is expected to overcome the current dilemma of Y-chromosome analysis in forensic applications from current male lineage identification towards male individual identification in many cases, due to their extraordinary mutation properties as discovered here. Embodiments of the invention include methods for allelic determination of rapidly-mutating Y-STR markers, amplification primers for the analysis of rapidly-mutating Y-STR markers, allelic ladders for analysis of rapidly-mutating Y-STR markers, and kits for the analysis of rapidly-mutating Y-STR markers. | 10-27-2011 |
