Apparatus And Methods For Variable Delay Channel Tracking

View page
US Patent:
6370189, Apr 9, 2002
Filed:
May 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/085435
Inventors:
Christine J. Morrison - Decatur GA
Errol Reiss - Chamblee GA
Liliana Aidorevich - Maracay Edo Aragua, VE
Jong Soo Choi - Taegu, KR
Assignee:
Ericsson Inc. - Research Triangle Park NC
International Classification:
H04B 346
US Classification:
375224, 375341, 714794
Abstract:
The present invention provides apparatus and methods in which variable delay is provided for channel tracking. In particular, a demodulator having both a hard output (or symbol estimate) and a soft output (or indication of the quality of the symbol estimate) is coupled to a channel tracker. The channel tracker provides a channel estimate used by the demodulator, in part, to correct for fading. The channel tracker updates the channel estimate based on the symbol estimates from the demodulator and the received signal. However, when the soft output indicates a low confidence in the symbol estimate, the symbol estimate is not used to update the channel estimate. This is accomplished by providing a variable delay to the channel estimate calculation performed by the channel tracker depending on the number of consecutive suspect symbol estimates. For example, a single suspect estimate generates a delay of one causing the most recent estimate to not be used, two consecutive suspect estimate generates a delay of two causing the two most recent estimates to not be used and so on. Accordingly, the channel tracker of the present invention utilizes only the most reliable data available locally to generate a channel estimate for use by the demodulator.

Abstract:
Provided is an isolated double-stranded nucleic acid consisting essentially of the nucleotide sequences defined in the Sequence Listing by SEQ ID Nos: 5-9. These are the ITS2 sequences for C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata and C. krusei. A method of diagnosing systemic candidiasis in a subject is also provided. The method comprises the steps of: (a) collecting blood from the subject into tubes containing detergent, polypropylene glycol, sodium poyantholesulfonate, and sodium ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid; (b) lysing Candida cells using ZYMOLYASE. RTM. -100T with agitation; (c) extracting and precipitating the DNA from the lysed cells; (d) amplifying the precipitated DNA using universal fungal primer pairs derived from the internal transcribed spacer regions of the Candida ribosomal DNA; and (e) detecting amplified DNA from Candida by hybridizing the amplified DNA with a probe that selectively hybridizes with Candida DNA, the presence of amplified DNA indicating systemic candidiasis.

US Patent:
62358901, May 22, 2001
Filed:
Jul 12, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/269136
Inventors:
Christine J. Morrison - Decatur GA
Errol Reiss - Chamblee GA
Brian Holloway - Atlanta GA
Jong Hee Shin - Kwangju, KR
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and
Human Services - Washington DC
International Classification:
C07H 2104
C07H 2102
C12Q 168
C12P 1934
US Classification:
536 2433
Abstract:
The present invention provides a rapid method for identifying species of Candida. Identification is through the use of a non-conserved regions of the ITS2 region flanked by highly conserved functional domains. Detection of members of the Candida and Aspergillus genera is enhanced by the detection of genus-specific regions of the 5. 8S rRNA gene. The present invention provides isolated nucleic acids that selectively hybridize to the fungal genus-specific 5. 8S rRNA region, and to the species-specific ITS2 region. The invention provides for nucleic acid sequences for use as selective probes for fungal genus-specific probes and as Candida species-specific probes. The present invention provides methods for the use of the Candida species-specific probes that allow the detection and identification of the individual species in biological samples.
