International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/026000

Abstract:

This invention pertains to the field of cancer genetics and cytogenetics. In particular, this invention pertains to the identification of a novel amplicon on human chromosome 20 which is associated with cancer. More particularly this invention pertains to the identification of a novel “amplicon” or genomic nucleic acid in a region of amplification at about 20q13.2 which has been associated with a variety of cancers, particularly breast cancer. The novel amplicon of the invention can be used as a probe specific for this region of 20q13.2 as well as for the diagnosis and prognosis of various cancers. Also provided are kits for screening for the presence and copy number of the novel amplicon of the invention in a sample containing human nucleic acid

Abstract:

A method for forming an apple into a figure is disclosed. The method comprises peeling and shaping the apple utilizing a blade tool and a scraper tool; cutting outlines into the peeled and shaped apple, and punching out eye holes in the apple utilizing a hole punch. The method further comprises inserting teeth into the apple utilizing a tweezer; and allowing the apple to dry out over a predetermined time period.

Appl. No.:

8/752154

Inventors:

Joseph Harold Gray - Palo Alto CA
Lars Morten Jorgensen - San Jose CA

Assignee:

Graychip Inc. - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G06F 738

US Classification:

364572

Abstract:

A signal processing system and method for stabilizing cascaded integrator-comb (CIC) interpolation filters. The signal processing system includes an overflow detection circuit and reset circuitry. The overflow detection circuit monitors the output of the CIC interpolation filter for an overflow condition which is indicative of filter instability. When an overflow condition is detected, the reset circuitry automatically resets the filter, thereby eliminating the instability.

International Classification:

E04H 320

US Classification:

15 17

Abstract:

A suction cleaning device which is used for cleaning a swimming pool includes a removable door to improve access to the housing interior. The suction cleaning device is of the type having a primary and a secondary fluid flow path. The primary flow path has a primary turbine positioned in it for driving the device. The steering mechanism is of the type which has two secondary turbines which work together and comprise the secondary flow paths. The secondary fluid outlets, from the secondary flow paths are located near the primary turbine such that the secondary flow path joins the primary flow path. Access to the primary turbine is necessary to remove larger pieces of debris. A removable door having an opening aligned with the primary fluid inlet provides for access to the primary turbine. A screen integral with the removable door is preferably provided to prevent the entry of back wash debris into the lower secondary flow path. Screen guides provide for ease of replacement of the removable door.

Assignee:

TRW Inc. - Redondo Beach CA

International Classification:

G06F 15332

US Classification:

364726

Abstract:

A special purpose computer and method of computation for performing an N-length discrete Fourier transform (DFT) using a sum and difference conjugate prime factor transform. The transform length N is selected as equal to the product of L mutually prime factors N. sub. 1, N. sub. 2,. . . , N. sub. 1,. . . , N. sub. L. For each one of the L mutually prime factors N. sub. i, an N. sub. i -length DFT is performed. Each N. sub. i -length DFT transform is performed using a data processing element called a kernel. Each kernel includes one or more memory elements for reordering data and a computational element. The computational element includes adder circuit means for forming the sum term, SUM(n). sub. i equal to the quantity x(n. sub. i)+x(N. sub. i -n. sub. i) and the difference term, DIFF(n. sub.

International Classification:

G06F 15332

US Classification:

364726

Abstract:

A fast Fourier transform circuit, including an illustrative radix-eight discrete Fourier transform (DFT) kernel that operates on an n-bit-serial data format, for an efficient serial-like, pipelined operation within the DFT. The circuit performs a four-point DFT on half of the input data words at a time, stores intermediate results from the four-point DFT in a commutation stage, then combines the intermediate results in two two-point DFTs. Internal multiplication in the eight-point DFT is effected in delay registers that also serve to store the intermediate results, thereby providing an economy of timing and circuit routing. Interleaving and deinterleaving operations convert the data format between three-bit-serial and conventional bit-parallel used outside the eight-point DFT kernel, which may therefore be easily cascaded for more complex FFT operations. The DFT kernel also includes means for selectively bypassing butterfly computation modules to perform shorter-length DFTs.
