International Classification:

H04N007/173

US Classification:

725/087000, 725/101000

Abstract:

A system for providing on demand responses to consumer impulses produced by a demand stimulus includes a computer processing system and content databases accessible by the computer-processing system having stored stimulus responses corresponding to a plurality of consumer demand stimuli in at least two categories of demand stimuli. A real-time inquiry response system associated with the computer processing system receives inquiries provided by a consumer and identifies the content category with which the consumer inquiry is associated. The computer processing system correlates consumer inquiries received by the real-time inquiry response system with stimulus responses stored in the content database based on the content category identified by the inquiry response system, so that the real-time consumer response system can return to the consumer, in real time, a stored stimulus response which correlates to the consumer inquiry. Categories of demand stimuli can include broadcast and non-broadcast information, and can include a variety of information categories or sub-categories such as music, advertisements, and scheduled events in respect to which a consumer may desire information or make a purchase.

International Classification:

G01N033/53
G01N033/567

US Classification:

435007200

Abstract:

Methods and kits are provided for a multiplexed reverse phase protein (RPP) microarray platform, which is utilized for simultaneous monitoring of cellular components following exposure to an agent or agents of interest. The microarray comprises cell lysates or fractions thereof. The array is probed with a specific binding agent or agents. Binding agents of interest include agents specific for inducible proteins, constitutive proteins, apoptosis-specific modifications, etc., and particularly for post-translationally modified proteins, e.g. phosphoproteins, glycosylated proteins, and the like. The methods are of interest for determining patterns of modifications, and the like that define disease states or classify subsets of disease (including staging and subsets of cancers, autoimmune diseases, and the like); that follow response to therapy; that determine response patterns after exposure to a specific agent, and the like. This information is useful in the development of therapies, as a disease prognostic, determining patient specific therapies, and the like. Kits may comprise microarrays having a cell selection of interest, and may further comprise antibodies of desired specificity, and the like.

International Classification:

H04W 24/00

US Classification:

455425

Abstract:

A system and method may comprise providing to a device user in response to one of a user request for troubleshooting assistance and a mobile telecommunications user device monitoring software conclusion that a problem exists, a diagnostic application specific to the mobile telecommunication user device of the device user; receiving from the device user an indication of a problem with the mobile telecommunication user device experienced by the device user; selecting an application update; providing to the device user the application update updating an application running on the mobile telecommunication user device; and determining whether the problem has been solved. If determining indicates that the problem has not been solved the method may further include deleting the application and further determining whether the problem has been solved, and if so forwarding problem solution data to a knowledge database.

Appl. No.:

6/670454

Inventors:

Steven S. Chan - Fremont CA

Assignee:

LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

H03K 513

US Classification:

307602

Abstract:

A circuit (40) constructed in accordance with this invention includes a ring oscillator (25) to provide a signal which is dependent on the propagation delays of the inverters (33, 34, 35) comprising the ring oscillator, therefore the frequency of the ring oscillator is inversely dependent upon the propagation delays of the inverter comprising the ring oscillator. Means (37) are provided to determine the propagation delay introduced by the components in the ring oscillator by measuring the frequency of the output signal produced by the ring oscillator which provides a signal to a multiplexer (36) which selects among a number of preset delay components (26) those components which are necessary to ensure that the propagation delay caused by the circuitry (not shown) connected to the input lead (21) of the circuit constructed in accordance with this invention plus the propagation delay introduced by the selectable delay elements is nearly a constant propagation delay.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A multimedia video processor chip for a personal computer in employs a multi-port central cache memory to queue all the incoming data to be stored in a DRAM and all the outgoing data being retrieved from the DRAM. Such a cache memory is used in one of several modes in which the cache memory is partitioned by cache boundaries into different groups of storage areas. Each storage area of the cache is dedicated to storing data from a specific data source. The cache boundaries are chosen such that, for a given mode, the storage areas are optimized for worst case conditions for all data streams.
