| 20090207094 | CONNECTOR AND RADIO FREQUENCY APPARATUS - An antenna is connected to a connector disclosed in the present disclosure, and the connector has a clamping slot adapted to fix a radio remote unit (RRU). A clamping slot tight side may be set on the connector to fasten the RRU, and an RRU fastening hole may be set on the connector to fasten the RRU. An RF apparatus integrated with a connector is also disclosed. According to the present disclosure, the antenna and the RRU are fixed to the connector. This makes it unnecessary to provide additional spaces and supports for installing the RRU. Hence, the RRU can be installed in a proper position and the installation costs can be reduced.

| 20090103666 | CHANNEL ESTIMATION FOR RAPID DISPERSIVE FADING CHANNELS - This invention addresses the problem of channel estimation in fast fading communications channels, particularly for OFDM systems. It finds wide application in existing and future systems such as WLAN and WiMax. In particular, the invention involves a method of channel estimation and data detection for rapid dispersive fading channels due to high mobility. The invention involves decoding a symbol of the received transmission by retrieving pilot tones from it and using these to estimate variations in the channel frequency response using an iterative maximum likelihood channel estimation process, in which the estimation process comprises the following steps: In a first iteration, deriving soft decoded data information, that is information having a confidence value or reliability associated with it, from the estimates of the channel frequency response for the symbol obtained from pilot tones. And, in at least a second iteration using the soft decoded data information as virtual pilot tones together with the pilot tones to re-estimate the channel frequency response for the symbol. In other aspects the invention concerns a receiver and software designed to perform the method. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20080241132 | BRAF Mutation T1796A in Thyroid Cancers - The BRAF gene has been found to be activated by mutation in human cancers, predominantly in malignant melanoma. We tested 476 primary tumors, including 214 lung, 126 head and neck, 54 thyroid, 27 bladder, 38 cervical, and 17 prostate cancers, for the BRAF T1796A mutation by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction enzyme analysis of BRAF exon 15. In 24 (69%) of the 35 papillary thyroid carcinomas examined, we found a missense thymine (T)→adenine (A) transversion at nucleotide 1796 in the BRAF gene (T1796A). The T1796A mutation was detected in four lung cancers and in six head and neck cancers but not in bladder, cervical, or prostate cancers. Our data suggested that activating BGRAF mutations may be an important even in the development of papillary thyroid cancer. Moreover, BRAF mutation reliably predicts a poor prognosis for papillary thyroid carcinomas. | 10-02-2008 |
