20110060060 | Pterostilbene as a New Agonist for the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha Isoform - Resveratrol, a stilbenoid antioxidant found in grapes, wine, peanuts and other berries, has been reported to have hypolipidemic properties. Resveratrol and its three analogs (pterostilbene, piceatannol and resveratrol trimethyl ether) were evaluated for their effects on the activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) isoforms, a receptor shown to mediate the activity of lipid-lowering drugs such as the fibrates. The four stilbenes and ciprofibrate (positive control) were evaluated for the activation of endogenous PPARα in H4IIEC3 cells. Pterostilbene demonstrated the highest induction of PPARα demonstrating increases of 7- and 9-14 fold relative to control. The maximal responses to pterostilbene are similar to those obtained with the hypolipidemic drug, ciprofibrate; that is, pterostilbene acts as a PPARα agonist, like that of the fibrate class, and is a more effective hypolipidemic agent than resveratrol. | 03-10-2011 |

A settled performance alarm threshold setting specific to each battery cell is then established based on battery cell performance during the defined settling time period. In this manner, more accurate performance alarm threshold settings are automatically established for monitoring each battery cell based on the individual performance characteristics of each battery cell during the settling time period. | 08-28-2014 |

20080232531 | Multi-Channel Timing Recovery System - The present invention, in particular embodiments, is directed to methods, apparatuses and systems that provide global timing error information derived from timing error information of each data channel. This is achieved, in part, by summing the timing error information from all the data channels and integrating and scaling the resulting sum. The integrated, scaled sum is then added to the proportional and integral timing information of each individual data channel. By doing so, incorrect timing error estimates are averaged out. Additionally, when severe noise and dropouts (loss of data signal) at an individual data channel occur, that channel may rely on the global timing error information. In some implementations, that individual data channel's timing error information contribution can be excluded from the global timing error information. | 09-25-2008 |
20080310522 | Sliding Map Detector for Partial Response Channels - An estimator of the noiseless output of a noisy partial response channel is described. The estimator operates recursively.

20090195906 | Method and System For Adaptive Timing Recovery - Timing recovery in partial-response-based magnetic recording systems customarily employs the “decision-directed” method wherein phase error is recovered from the differences between the noise-corrupted received signal samples and their estimated ideal (noise and phase error free) values. The filtered phase error drives a numerically-controlled oscillator which determines the instants at which the signal is resampled, attempting to place said instants at the ideal sampling times. The resampled signal contains errors due to mistiming as well as to the original corrupting noise, and these errors directly influence the success of subsequent detection. However, the noise can be reduced using adaptive linear prediction, having the effect of reducing the output error for a given noise input, or maintaining the same error for a larger noise input. | 08-06-2009 |

The data sequence includes a plurality of timing stages. The sequence detector can at least partially control a loop bandwidth of the circuit based on the timing stage of the data sequence. | 02-10-2011 |
