20080240299Demodulation of 16-QAM, DCM data symbols using two hybrid-QPSK constellations - In one embodiment, a demapper uses two hybrid-QPSK constellations to demap pairs of equalized data symbols recovered from 16-QAM, DCM OFDM symbols, wherein the equalized data symbols in a pair correspond to the same four-bit group. A first hybrid-QPSK constellation is generated by combining the real components of both 16-QAM mapping constellations onto one coordinate plane. The demapper generates a first set of two decision variables by combining the real components of each equalized data symbol in a pair to correspond to the first hybrid-QPSK coordinate plane. A log-likelihood ratio is then calculated for both decision variables in the set to determine likelihood estimates for the first and second bits of the four-bit group. This process is repeated for the imaginary components of each corresponding pair of equalized data symbols to generate likelihood estimates for the third and fourth bits of the four-bit group.10-02-2008
20090207926ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING USING SUBSYMBOL PROCESSING - In one embodiment, a transmitter converts digital input data into combined-OFDM signals and a receiver recovers data from the transmitted combined-OFDM signals. For transmission, digital data is mapped into data symbols using a commonly known modulation technique, such as QAM or DQPSK. The data symbols are subsequently divided into two or more groups according to a specified grouping pattern. Each group of data symbols is then converted into a separate OFDM subsymbol using IFFT processing. The OFDM subsymbols are then combined according to a specified combining pattern to create a combined-OFDM symbol. Combined-OFDM symbols are then prepared for transmission by affixing cyclic prefixes, converting the symbols to analog format, and performing spectral shaping of the analog signal. Upsampling may be employed to increase the signal bandwidth. In alternative embodiments, OFDM subsymbols may be combined using interleaving to create an interleaved-OFDM symbol.08-20-2009

20080286266Novel Use of Il-1Beta Compounds - This invention relates to a novel use of IL-1β-ligand/IL-1 receptor disrupting compounds (herein referred to as “IL-1beta Compounds”); such as small molecular compounds disrupting IL-1β ligand-IL-1 receptor interaction, IL-1β antibodies or IL-1 receptor antibodies, e.g. IL-1β binding molecules described herein, e.g. antibodies disclosed herein, e.g. IL-1β binding compounds or IL-1 receptor binding compounds, and/or RNA compounds decreasing either IL-1β ligands or IL-1 receptor protein levels, in the treatment and/or prevention of auto-inflammatory syndromes, e.g. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or adult rheumatoid arthritis syndrome and to methods of treating and/or preventing auto-inflammatory syndromes, e.g. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or adult rheumatoid arthritis syndrome, in mammals, particularly humans.11-20-2008
20090136965Use of antibody-ligand binding to characterise diseases - We have found that when an antibody binds to (captures) its specific ligand, the antibody-ligand complex is redirected to a route of elimination which is different from that which occurs naturally for the specific ligand that is not bound to an antibody. As a consequence, the amount of antibody-bound ligand in the blood increases over time. The increase in total ligand concentration is a property that is specific to the patient to whom the antibody is administered. Accordingly, the invention provides a method for diagnosing disease in a subject and a method for identifying the most appropriate treatment for a particular patient. Patients who produce more ligand, and thus more antibody-ligand complex, may be more likely to have a disease which is predominantly driven by that ligand. These patients should respond better to a therapy targeted against that ligand. The better understanding of the underlying malfunctions in disease biology provided by the methods of the invention, in respect of the rates of production of natural ligands in health and disease, provides a logical and targeted selection of the appropriate treatments to address specific biological abnormalities.05-28-2009
