The received signal gets mixed with the currently transmitted signal and the resulting beat frequency depends on the frequency variation pattern (which is known) and the signal propagation delay. This beat frequency is directly proportional to the distance between the reader/locator and the RFID tag. The beat frequency can therefore be used to estimate this distance between the reader/locator and the RFID tag. Also provided are methods for determining if an incoming signal is data bearing and a method to obtain a cleaner incoming signal by storing a “carbon footprint” or background clutter and subtracting the carbon footprint from the incoming signal.

20080268505 | Method for creating polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences - The invention provides methods for evolving a polynucleotide toward acquisition of a desired property. Such methods entail incubating a population of parental polynucleotide variants under conditions to generate annealed polynucleotides comprising heteroduplexes. The heteroduplexes are then exposed to a cellular DNA repair system to convert the heteroduplexes to parental polynucleotide variants or recombined polynucleotide variants. The resulting polynucleotides are then screened or selected for the desired property. | 10-30-2008 |

20140304453 | Effective Caching for Demand-based Flash Translation Layers in Large-Scale Flash Memory Storage Systems - This invention discloses methods for implementing a flash translation layer in a computer subsystem comprising a flash memory and a random access memory (RAM). According to one disclosed method, the flash memory comprises data blocks for storing real data and translation blocks for storing address-mapping information. The RAM includes a cache space allocation table and a translation page mapping table. The cache space allocation table may be partitioned into a first cache space and a second cache space. Upon receiving an address-translating request, the cache space allocation table is searched to identify if an address-mapping data structure that matches the request is present. If not, the translation blocks are searched for the matched address-mapping data structure, where the physical page addresses for accessing the translation blocks are provided by the translation page mapping table. The matched address-translating data structure is also used to update the cache space allocation table. | 10-09-2014 |
