Abstract: The plasma display panel having brightness display ranges comprising a gradation brightness display range (1) which displays gradation brightness corresponding to the input signals under a preset input signal level (LM) and a constant peak brightness display range (2) which displays a constant peak brightness (P) greater than the maximum brightness (M3) corresponding to input signals greater than the preset input signal level (LM). The plasma display panel can provide the gradation display up to the maximum brightness (M3) corresponding to the input signals up to the maximum input signal level (LM) and provide the constant peak brightness (P) corresponding to the peak level input by adding one additional weighting bit for the higher gradation. Consequently, a high quality brightness display with high mean value of the brightness and sufficiently high peak brightness can be achieved. Furthermore, the plasma display panel enhances the brightness weighting value and the value of  gamma  for the reverse  gamma  correction when the input signals go over the preset value and decrease the values to the original values when the input signals drop below the preset value. The plasma display panel can provide the gradation display up to the maximum brightness M3 corresponding to the input signals up to the maximum input signal level LD and provide the gradation display up to the peak brightness P greater than the maximum brightness M3 corresponding to the input signals over the maximum input signal level LD. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed wherein a gated pilot signal can be acquired faster by checking the neighbor pilot signals of the target pilot signal. A subscriber station may frequency lock onto a wrong pilot burst because a partial correlation exists between the wrong pilot burst and an adjacent pilot burst. Comparing the strength of the target pilot signal with the strength of neighbor pilot signals enables the selection of the strongest pilot signal before the timely process of frequency locking and demodulation are initiated. Grouping pilot signals with the same symbol sequence and a pseudo-random noise increment apart enables quick acquisition of a gated pilot signal.

Abstract: A homogeneous assay for determining the aflatoxin content in agricultural products uses the technique of fluorescence polarization. A solvent is used to extract aflatoxins from a sample of the agricultural product. A mixture is prepared by combining the extract with a tracer and with a monoclonal antibody specific for aflatoxin. The tracer is able to bind to the monoclonal antibody to produce a detectable change in fluorescence polarization. The tracer is prepared by conjugating an aflatoxin oxime to a suitable fluorophore. The fluorescence polarization of the mixture is measured. The aflatoxin concentration of the mixture may be calculated using a standard curve obtained by measuring the fluorescence polarization of a series of aflatoxin solutions of known concentration.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un transpondeur (200) mobile placé dans une poche (101) disposée sur une douille de broche (100) d'élastomère. La poche consiste en une doublure plastique formée dans la douille après son durcissement ou sa vulcanisation. Le transpondeur est placé dans la poche lorsque le durcissement ou la vulcanisation de la douille est achevée. On ferme alors les extrémités ouvertes de la poche à l'aide d'un adhésif. Comme le transpondeur n'est pas moulé avec la douille ou collé à la douille pendant la fabrication, il peut se déplacer à l'intérieur de la poche, ce qui réduit les contraintes lui étant transmises lors des flexions de la douille et en augmente la durée de vie. Le transpondeur, qui recueille, stocke et émet des données de fabrication pouvant être lues par un dispositif portable ou un dispositif électronique stationnaire, et qui comporte une micropuce et une antenne en plus du laminé de plastique ou de papier sur lequel il est monté, est activé par l'énergie RF reçue de l'antenne, et donc ne nécessite pas de batterie.

Abstract: A connector uses a plurality of individual terminal assemblies to form a high-density connector. The terminal assemblies all have insulative body portions that support arrays of signal terminals and ground terminals or ground members. The terminals all have their own associated body portions which are supported by the insulative body portions and contact portions that extend out from a front, or mating face, of the assemblies. The terminal contact portions and include flexing portions formed therewith which are disposed between the terminal body and contact portions. The terminals further include insulative support members that are applied to the terminals and which serve to define the contact and flexing portions of the terminals. The support members are fixed within a carrier, such as a shroud member, which is not attached to any one portion of the connector. The support members permit the terminals and shroud to move as a single unit and flex in different directions, relative to the insulative body portions that support the terminals.
