Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the photochemically induced immobilization of biomolecules (protein molecules, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates). The process makes it possible to immobilize biomolecules by covalent bonding in molecular layers on "inert" substrates. The bonding reaction is activated by light irradiation in the absorption region of photo-activatable reagents or by supplying the appropriate amount of electrical energy and therefore is not aggressive. Substrates (e.g. glass, organic or inorganic plastics, silicon films, mica) are pre-treated by prior art methods in such a way that they can be derived with hetero-bifunctional photo-activatable wetting-agent molecules. Multiple-derived polymers can also be used as linker molecules to simultaneously bond ligand and substrate. Diazirines or aryl azides, for instance, can be used as the photo-activatable function. The chemical properties of the non-photo-active heterofunctions depend on the functional groups with which the substrate or linker molecules were previously derived (e.g. amino, carboxyl, thio groups). Coating the substrate with a hetero-bifunctional wetting-agent molecule gives a substrate with a photo-active surface coating. Owing to the high reactivity of the photo-generated intermediate products (carbenes, nitrenes), biomolecules of different chemical composition are covalently bound by light activation of the substrate, without the need for limiting reaction conditions. Length of irradiation time and intensity and wavelength of the light used (i.e. the energy used), as well as the frequency of occurrence of the photo-activatable groups on the substrate (packing density) determine the bonding efficiency and the size of the area occupied.

Abstract: A speech coding method which can code a speech signal at a bit rate of 8 kb/s or less by a comparatively small amount of calculation to obtain a good sound quality. An autocorrelation of a synthesis signal synthesized from a codevector of an excitation codebook (140) and a linear predictive parameter of an input speech signal is corrected using an autocorrelation of a synthesis signal synthesized from a codevector of an adaptive codebook (120) and a linear predictive parameter and a cross-correlation between the synthesis signal of the codevector of the adaptive codebook (120) and the synthesis signal of the codevector of the excitation codebook (140). A gain codebook (210) is searched using the corrected autocorrelation and a cross-correlation between a signal obtained by subtraction of the synthesis signal of the codevector of the adaptive codebook (120) from the input speech signal and the synthesis signal of the codevector of the excitation codebook (140). <IMAGE>

Abstract: At the location in a colour channel (2) at which a colour signal (Fe) is transmitted and a colour interference area forming a colour fringe with wrong colours exists at colour discontinuities, the colour channel (2) is split into a delayed channel section (10) and an undelayed channel section (11) and the outputs of these channel sections are connected via a channel switch (12) to the output (3) or to the continuation of the colour channel. The delayed channel section contains a delay line (13) having a delay time (TK) which is greater than the width of the colour interference locations in time. At a colour interference area detected by a colour discontinuity detector (15), the channel switch is switched over during a predetermined switching time (TS) in such a manner that it transmits, instead of the disturbed area of the delayed colour signal in the delayed channel section of the colour channel, an undisturbed area of the undelayed colour signal from the undelayed channel section. In the case of an additional luminance discontinuity, a luminance discontinuity detector (22) controls the control circuit for the channel switch (12) instead of the colour discontinuity detector. This reestablishes undisturbed colour discontinuities in the transmitted colour signal. <IMAGE>
