Abstract: Methods for forming a single-side-readable DVD (10') having graphical information (70') viewable from the DVD's frontside disc (20') are provided. A first, frontside disc (20') having a first (22a') and a second surface (22b'), with the second surface comprising program information and coated with a semi-reflective coating (24'), is bonded to a second, backside disc (30') having a third and a fourth surface. A first portion of the fourth surface (32b') comprises spillover program information (34') and a second portion of the fourth surface comprises graphical information (38'). The fourth surface is coated with a reflective coating (36'). During DVD formation, the frontside and backside discs are adhesively bonded back to back so that the second surface of the frontside disc faces the fourth surface of the backside disc. Because the frontside disc comprises a semi-reflective coating, the graphical information on the second portion of the fourth surface of the backside disc is viewable through the frontside disc. The graphical information does not affect the playability of the DVD. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of using a first communications device (2), such as a mobile telephone, together with at least one other communications device (27), such as a telephone, comprises the steps of playing back audio signals in the first communications device (2), transmitting the same audio signals to the other communications device (27), and playing back the audio signals in the other communications device (27). By transmitting the audio signals played back in the first communications device to the other device and playing them back there, shared audio listening is achieved and in this way the communications devices can be used also for the shared listening to e.g. music. Thus it is possible for two persons present at different locations to listen to the same audio signals simultaneously or at least almost simultaneously. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of treating a brain disorder by heat transfer from brain tissue comprising the steps of surgically cutting a heat transfer aperture into a patient's skull, thereby exposing a predetermined portion of patient's brain; surgically implanting into said heat transfer aperture a heat pump having one or more electrical sensor elements and one or more temperature sensor elements; surgically implanting a heat transfer management unit in a body cavity of said patient such that a micro controller of the heat transfer management unit is connected to one or more activity sensor elements and one or more temperature sensor elements contacting brain tissue and connecting the heat transfer management unit to said heat pump via a lead bundle. Optionally, the heat transfer unit may be located external to the patient's body. Responsive to signals from one or more activity or temperature sensor elements, mathematical algorithms of the heat transfer management unit determine abnormal brain activity, causing the heat pump to remove heat from the brain tissue into a heat sink, thereby cooling the predetermined portion of the patient's brain. This technique utilizes acute hypothermia by means of a Peltier cooler or similar device to cool the brain temperature to reduce or prevent seizure initiation and/or propagation. The method may be used in association with brain stimulation and/or drug application to acutely avoid the occurrence of a seizure episode.

Abstract: The presently claimed invention is directed to agricultural compositions which find primary use as a herbicide, through may also be used for pesticidal and fungicidal roles. The presently claimed invention comprises compositions combining monterpene compounds with fatty acid soaps. In particular monterpene alcohols are preferred as a primary phytoactive agent. Preferred embodiments are based on coniferous oils, such as pine oil, in combination with a tall oil reacted with an alkali to form a fatty acid soap. Preferred methods of application include spraying in a manner in which some foaming effect is observed, which appears to confer advantage over the spray application of monoterpene compounds alone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a generator and a method for generating an adapted speaker independent speech recognizer. The generator of an adapted speech recognizer is being based upon a base speech recognizer of an arbitrary base language. The generator also comprises an additional speech data corpus used for generation of said adapted speech recognizer. Said additional speech data corpus comprises a collection of domain specific speech data and/or dialect specific speech data. Said generator comprises reestimation means for reestimating language or domain specific acoustic model parameters of the base speech recognizer by a speaker adaption technique. Said additional speech data corpus is exploited by said reestimation means for generating the adapted speech recognizer. The invention proposes smoothing means for smoothing the reestimated acoustic model parameters. A beneficial range for the smoothing factor of a Bayesian smoothing is given. It is further suggested to iterate the adaption process.

Abstract: A method of making a ceramic ornament having short undercuts on a surface. A primary clay body, is molded into a primary resin body by a silicone mold assembly. The primary resin body is then used to make upper and lower silicone mold assemblies. After slip is poured into the silicone mold assemblies, the plaster molding members will absorb moisture in the slip. Two clay body portions having a predetermined thickness are formed into shape. After removing the molding members, and coating the connection line of the clay body portions with slip, the two silicone mold assemblies are combined. The two silicone mold assemblies will be formed into a complete figurative body upon the slip being dried. The figurative body is then fired at a high temperature so as to obtain a ceramic ornament having short undercuts and decorative threads on a surface.

Abstract: A method of determining a dose response for a platelet inhibitor. The method includes the steps of placing a predetermined amount of heparin in each cell of a multicell test cartridge, placing an optimized amount of a clotting activator in each cell, and placing a measured amount of platelet inhibitor in each cell, the amount of inhibitor in each cell differing from the amount in each other cell. An aliquot of a blood sample is added to each cell, and the blood sample aliquot, clotting reagent and platelet inhibitor are mixed. Each cell sample is allowed to clot, and the clotting time for each cell is measured. The relative clotting times are used to calculate and determine the platelet inhibition effect of the platelet inhibitor.

Abstract: The winding machine bobbin is driven by a constant speed drive roller in association with a reciprocating linear yarn guide. The bobbin/roller driving contact line is axially shifted towards the major/min. axis of the conical element by varying the inclination of the bobbin w.r.t. the driven roller. PREFERRED - The constant speed drive roller (9) friction drives the bobbin (1) with yarn (12) from a package (11) guided by a linear reciprocating guide to lay turns on the bobbin. The bobbin is supported on an arm (27) in a yoke (26) which rocks angularly about pin (25) bolted to a support frame (23). A stepping motor (6), pin (33) and arm (24) are moved to alter the bobbin/roller drive contact line. Sensors (2,4,8) and electronic controller (7) cooperate to give the required bobbin movement to eliminate `ribbing' of the yarn wound onto the bobbin.
