| 20090179653 | NOISE-REDUCTION METHOD FOR PROCESSING A TEST PORT - A noise-reduction method for processing a port is applied to a test target for testing or being burned in with software. At least one zero-Ohm resistor is provided with a first end thereof electrically connected to a device under test (DUT) of the test target and a second end thereof connected to a test port. Moreover, at least one grounding zero-Ohm resistor is provided with one end connected to ground and the other end is a floating end. After the test target is finished debugging or burned in with software, the connection of the first end and the DUT is disabled, and the second end is connected to ground through the floating end to reduce noise generation and improve a flexibility in circuit layout. | 07-16-2009 |

| 20090041310 | VIDEO-BASED FACE RECOGNITION USING PROBABILISTIC APPEARANCE MANIFOLDS - The present invention meets these needs by providing temporal coherency to recognition systems. One embodiment of the present invention comprises a manifold recognition module to use a sequence of images for recognition. A manifold training module receives a plurality of training image sequences (e.g. from a video camera), each training image sequence including an individual in a plurality of poses, and establishes relationships between the images of a training image sequence. A probabilistic identity module receives a sequence of recognition images including a target individual for recognition, and identifies the target individual based on the relationship of training images corresponding to the recognition images. An occlusion module masks occluded portions of an individual's face to prevent distorted identifications. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20090016252 | EXTENDED MICROSLEEP FOR COMMUNICATIONS - Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate operating an access terminal in an LTE based wireless communication environment utilizing extended microsleep. While in non-DRX mode, an access terminal can operate in on state for a first period of time and in extended microsleep state for a second period of time. Further, the first and second periods of time can form a repeating pattern where these periods of time alternate. Thus, the access terminal can turn on its receiver for the first period of time (e.g., decode downlink information while in on state) and turn off its receiver for the second period of time (e.g., inhibit decoding of downlink information while in extended microsleep state). Further, the first period of time in the repeating pattern can be one TTI (e.g., 1 ms) and the second period of time in the repeating pattern can be a plurality of TTIs (e.g., 5 ms). | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090040982 | Handover In A Wireless Data Packet Communication System That Avoid User Data Loss - An apparatus, method, processor(s), and computer program product avoids user data loss by network-controlled, user equipment assisted handover in a wireless data packet communication system. A wireless receiver receives radio link control (RLC) packet data units (PDUs) from user equipment (UE) being served by a source node. A wireless transmitter commands the UE to handover. A network communication interface transmits RLC Uplink (UL) context from the source node to the target node, and transmits RLC Downlink (DL) initialization message and buffered in-transit DL RLC PDUs from the source node to the target node. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090041247 | KEY IDENTIFIER IN PACKET DATA CONVERGENCE PROTOCOL HEADER - Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate identifying a plurality of keysets utilized in a communications network. The keysets can include ciphering keys that provide data encryption and decryption and integrity keys that provide data integrity protection. A key identifier can be included in a packet data convergence protocol header that indicates a keyset employed in connection with data in a protocol data unit. In addition, a route indicator can be provided in a radio link control header that distinguishes a source cell and a target cell in networks configured without RLC reset. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20110038334 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEMI-PERSISTENT SCHEDULING FOR MULTIPLE UPLINK VOIP CONNECTIONS - Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) addresses a variable number of sessions between nodes, such as an SPS operation applied on a radio bearer between a Remote evolved Base Node (ReNB) and a Donor evolved Base Node (DeNB). As the number of VoIP connections changes over time, the upper bound of the required uplink grant size also changes. Even if the number of VoIP connections is assumed to be fixed over a period of time, the superposition of “on” and “off” intervals of multiple VoIP calls will require the uplink grant size to change over time much more dynamically. Using a fixed uplink SPS size based on a fixed number of VoIP calls will result in inefficient use of uplink grants, (i.e., reserving more grants than needed) or Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) signaling overhead for VoIP packets that cannot be served by SPS. A set of solutions are provided for semi-persistently scheduling multiple VoIP connections between a ReNB and a DeNB so as to enhance efficient use of SPS and still meet Quality of Service (QoS) requirement(s) of VoIP traffic. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20100189032 | FREQUENCY HOPPING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - Techniques for performing frequency hopping in a wireless network are described. In an aspect, frequency hopping may be performed based on both cell identity (ID) and system time information. In one design, a user equipment (UE) may determine a cell ID of a cell and may obtain system time information for the cell. The UE may determine resources to use for transmission with frequency hopping based on the cell ID and the system time information. In one design, the UE may initialize a PN generator in each radio frame with an initial value determined based on the cell ID and a system frame number (SFN) for the radio frame. The UE may determine the resources to use for transmission based on a hopping function, a mirroring function, and a PN sequence from the PN generator. The UE may send a transmission on the resources to the cell. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20090060888 | Regulated transcription of targeted genes and other biological events - Dimerization and oligomerization of proteins are general biological control mechanisms that contribute to the activation of cell membrane receptors, transcription factors, vesicle fusion proteins, and other classes of intra- and extracellular proteins. We have developed a general procedure for the regulated (inducible) dimerization or oligomerization of intracellular proteins. In principle, any two target proteins can be induced to associate by treating the cells or organisms that harbor them with cell permeable, synthetic ligands. To illustrate the practice of this invention, we have induced: (1) the intracellular aggregation of the cytoplasmic tail of the ζ chain of the T cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex thereby leading to signaling and transcription of a reporter gene, (2) the homodimerization of the cytoplasmic tail of the Fas receptor thereby leading to cell-specific apoptosis (programmed cell death) and (3) the heterodimerization of a DNA-binding domain (Gal4) and a transcription-activation domain (VP16) thereby leading to direct transcription of a reporter gene. | 03-05-2009 |
