20110124333FEMTOCELL CONFIGURATION USING SPECTRUM SENSING - An embodiment of the present invention provides for the ad-hoc configuration of femtocells using spectrum sensing for the selection of spectrum channels. One or more embodiments of the invention determine frequency bands that are not reserved by macrocells in a location, and perform spectrum sensing to determine communication channels in unreserved frequency bands that are being used by other femtocells in range. In this manner, femtocells can be deployed and configured in an ad-hoc manner without external coordination or control between deployed femtocells.05-26-2011

20090147264LABEL-FREE, REAL-TIME DETECTION SYSTEM FOR MOLECULAR INTERACTION ANALYSIS - An approach to diagnosing various physiological conditions in a subject entails determining the presence and, optionally, the amount or concentration of cell-free DNA in a sample from the subject. For this purpose one can employ an element that includes an optical surface with DNA-binding molecules immobilized thereon, where the optical surface is adapted for an optical instrument configured to detect DNA bound by the surface-immobilized molecules. Accordingly, one can diagnose in the subject a disease or other physiological condition by (A) contacting a sample from the subject with DNA-binding molecules and then (B) determining optically whether DNA has bound to the DNA-binding molecules, consequent to contacting the sample.06-11-2009

20110191060METHOD FOR MEASURING A WORK PIECE, CALIBRATION METHOD AND COORDINATE MEASURING DEVICE - A work piece is measured by at least one point of a surface of the work piece being sampled by a feeler. The feeler exerts a probing force on the surface and the feeler is deflected relative to a mounting of the feeler. On the basis of the deflection, a position of the point of the surface is determined. A directional dependence of a flexibility of the feeler is determined and/or is known. The feeler and the work piece are positioned and/or oriented relative to each other, while taking into consideration the directional dependence, such that during sampling of the point of the surface unintentional slipping of the feeler on the surface does not occur, or occurs only with low probability, or an unintentional deviation of the feeler from an intended path on the surface does not occur, or occurs only with low probability.08-04-2011
