Abstract: The present invention relates to a nitride semiconductor laser device provided with a window layer on a light-emitting end face of the resonator which comprises an active layer of nitride semiconductor between the n-type nitride semiconductor layers and the p-type nitride semiconductor layers, in which at least the radiation-emitting end face of said resonator is covered by said window layer comprising monocrystalline nitride of general formula A1xGa1-x-yInyN, where 0≤x+y≤1, 0≤x≤1 and 0≤y<1, having a wider energy gap than that of the active layer and being formed at a low temperature so as not to damage said active layer. Formation of such a window layer improves significantly the performance of the nitride laser device according to the invention.
Patent EP-1539335-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COVILLE WILLIAM E
IPC: B01F13/08
Filed: 2003-07-03
Abstract: Vertical electromagnetic stirring is used to produce low shear, stress, turbulent and chaotic mixing of a liquid material or suspension in a container regardless of the volume or container geometry. Movement of a magnetic stir bar is controlled by multiple magnetic fields. The magnetic fields are produced by a series of sequentially or non-sequentially activated inductor coils which produce asymmetrical stirring dynamics and random motions of the stir bar, causing the liquid material to be gently and effectively mixed throughout the container. Moving the stir bar in random and irregular patterns during the stirring operation creates turbulent and chaotic mixing dynamics. The stir bars used for supporting vertical magnetic stirring are specifically designed to optimize the effectivity of the mixing process by maximizing the length of the stir bar to quickly and gently mix the materials.

Abstract: The present inventors succeeded in isolating GWT1 (PfGWT1), which is one of the enzymes involved in GPI biosynthesis in the malaria parasite P. falciparum. In addition, the inventors revealed that degenerate mutant DNAs, with a lower AT content than the DNA encoding the PfGWT1 protein, can complement the phenotype of GWT1-deficient yeast. Based on the findings, the present invention provides the GWT1 protein of malaria parasites and the use of the protein in methods of screening for antimalarial drugs. The present invention also provides degenerate mutant DNAs encoding proteins involved in GPI biosynthesis, and which have a lower AT content than the original DNAs. The present invention also provides methods of screening for antimalarial drugs which use the degenerate mutant DNAs.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, des dispositifs de détection de lumière sont intégrés de manière monolithique avec des dispositifs CMOS dans des substrats de type silicium sur isolant à couche mince (TF-SOI) ou germanium sur isolant à couche mince (TF-GeOI). Des couches actives à photodiode sont déposées par épitaxie sur la face avant du substrat et, après traitement intégral de ladite face avant du substrat, le matériau substrat est supprimé sous l'isolant enterré (oxyde enterré). Des structures à intégration monolithique sont ensuite formées à l'arrière de l'oxyde enterré. Puis, la face arrière est reliée à un nouveau substrat qui est transparent aux longueurs d'onde d'intérêt. Par exemple, le quartz, le saphir, le verre ainsi que le plastique conviennent pour le domaine visible. La matrice de détection peut être éclairée par l'arrière, la lumière se déplaçant à travers les structures formées sur la face arrière du substrat qui est orientée vers la face comportant le CMOS.

Abstract: Pour afficher séquentiellement des images dans un signal de télévision, on sépare une première image en groupes de segments rouges, verts et bleus, chaque segment de chaque couleur étant entrelacé avec les segments des autres couleurs dans une première séquence, pour affichage dans cette séquence. Chaque image successive est séparée de la même manière en groupes de segments rouges, verts et bleus, chaque segment de chaque couleur étant entrelacé avec les segments des autres couleurs dans une séquence décalée, pour affichage dans cette séquence. Grâce au décalage de la séquence couleur des segments de chaque image successive parmi les couleurs primaires, de telle sorte qu'au moins le premier et le dernier segments de chaque image successive possède une couleur différente de celle du premier et du dernier segment, respectivement, de l'image précédente, on parvient à réduire l'apparition des artefacts de mouvement qui se manifestent par eux-mêmes comme distorsion des couleurs au niveau des bords d'attaque et de queue d'un objet en mouvement suivi par les yeux du spectateur.

Abstract: Provided are a video encoding/decoding method, in which a motion
between interlaced video frames is estimated and/or compensated, and a video
encoding/decoding apparatus. In this method, first, a macroblock and a search
range are received, and a frame motion vector for each integer pixel is
estimated. Next, if the vertical component of the estimated frame motion
vector is an odd value, the bottom field pixels in the received macroblock are
matched with top field pixels in a reference frame that correspond to motion
vectors obtained by scaling the vertical component of the original motion
vectors depending on a field-to-field distance. If the vertical component of the
original frame motion vector is an even value, the top or bottom field pixels in
the received macroblock are matched with the top or bottom field pixels in the
reference frame that correspond to the original frame motion vector.
