The paper first presents the integration options of what we call the Timing Description Language (TDL) with Mathworks' Simulink tools. Based on the paradigm of fixed logical execution time (FLET) as introduced by Giotto [2], TDL enhances Giotto towards a component architecture for real-time control applications [9]. The challenge is to provide appropriate visual and interactive modeling capabil...

In this paper, we present a Link-16-based tactical data link (TDL) simulator with cognitive antijamming capability (CAJC). CAJC improves antijamming capability of existing TDL by adding the cognitive radio (CR) spectrum sensing-based jammer detection. In the presented TDL, each terminal that senses (or detects) the jammer signal can avoid the jammer spectrum opportunistically. For jammer signal...

To investigate the clonal relationship between follicular lymphoma (FL) and transformed diffuse lymphoma (tDL), we examined the expression of tumor idiotype, immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangements and sequence of Ig variable genes in paired tissue specimens. All 16 cases analyzed expressed surface immunoglobulin (sIg) on both the FL and the tDL, though the immunophenotype of one case of FL cou...

A novel mannose-binding tuber lectin with in vitro antiproliferative activity towards human cancer cell lines and antiviral activity against HSV-II was isolated from fresh tubers of a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, Typhonium divaricatum (L.) Decne by a combined procedure involving extraction, ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-SEPHAROSE, CM-SEPHAROSE and ge...

Manuscript received December 10, 1999. Manuscript revised March 18, 2000. † The authors are with NTT Network Innovation Laboratories, Yokosuka-shi, 239-0847 Japan. SUMMARY This paper proposes a new digital beamforming adaptive array antenna (DBFAAA) that is effective in severe multipath environments in which timing and carrier synchronization circuits cannot function ideally resulting in the DB...

This paper presents TDL, a typed feature-based representation language and inference system. Type deeni-tions in TDL consist of type and feature constraints over the boolean connectives. TDL supports open-and closed-world reasoning over types and allows for partitions and incompatible types. Working with partially as well as with fully expanded types is possible. EEcient reasoning in TDL is acc...

There is an extensive literature on task modelling related to the design of computer systems. Task analysis and task modelling have been widely recognized as central components in human-centred approaches. The aim of this paper is to report on some results of a worldwide survey about actual practices of task descriptions languages (TDL) in SIGCHI community. Results suggest that academic TDL are...

Well-designed templates of electronic patient record (EPR) are efficient for consistent and standardized records. Template definition language (TDL) 1 , which can represent the content and structure of EPR template, was developed to promote sharing of templates among clinics and institutions. TDL is one of the many applications of XML therefore a TDL document is a human-readable tagged text and...

In order to isolate genes regulating sex differentiation of embryonic gonads, we have attempted to obtain genes specifically expressed in male embryonic gonads by means of subtractive hybridization screening, and we have cloned a novel mouse gene, Tdl. It potentially encodes a protein showing sequence homology to anti-microbial protein, beta-defensins. Tdl reveals structural features such as th...

We present the Timing Definition Language (TDL), which supports the development of dependable embedded real-time systems. TDL is conceptually based on the time-triggered programming model introduced by Giotto but provides a more convenient syntax, more control over the timing of periodic activities, an industrial strength tool chain, and, most importantly, adds a component model and supports th...
