Abstract: On décrit un système et un procédé pour coder efficacement des données représentant une image vidéo afin de réduire la quantité de données devant être transférée au décodeur. Le procédé consiste à convertir des ensembles de données au moyen d'un transcodage par ondelettes d'un produit tensoriel (32) capable de transmettre des résidus d'une sous-bande à une autre. Des ensembles de sous-bandes, se présentant sous la forme de macroblocs (36), sont pondérés (42), détectés (46) et ordonnés (52), ce qui permet de classer les données converties par ordre de priorité. Une technique de compensation de mouvement (56, 60) est mise en oeuvre sur les données de sous-bande pour produire des vecteurs de mouvement (58) et des erreurs de prédiction (68) codés en pondération en paquets de train binaire destinés à être transmis au décodeur. Les macroblocs de sous-bandes et les blocs de sous-bandes de valeur zéro sont identifiés comme tels dans les paquets de train binaire pour réduire davantage la quantité de données devant être transférée au décodeur.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for detection of viable and potentially hazardous biological particles in a population which may be dispersed in fluid flow. The particles are characterized as biological and viable by contacting particles with laser light from a laser diode and then looking for the emission of fluorescence which is typically emitted from bacteria or bacterial spore. Biomolecules which are representative of viability are now known to be excited in range of 320nm and longer. The resulting apparatus is economical, compact and has low-power requirements enabling portable operation. Preferably, the laser diode is combined with an aerodynamic particle sizer to separate particles for sequential contacts, or with additional timing lasers for establishing particle size.

Filed: 2000-03-24
Granted: 2011-06-28
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for detecting the presence of an enterovirus in a clinical sample. The invention additionally discloses a method for typing an enterovirus in a clinical sample. Both methods employ a set of primer oligonucleotides for reverse transcription and amplification that hybridize to conserved regions of the enterovirus genome, and that provide amplicons that include significant portions of the VP1 region that are characteristic of the various serotypes. In the typing method, the invention further provides a database consisting of nucleotide sequences from prototypical enteroviral serotypes, which is used to type the clinical sample by comparing the sequence of its amplicon with each prototypical sequence in the database. The invention additionally provides mixtures of primer oligonucleotides, and a kit for use in conducting the typing method that includes a mixture of the primer oligonucleotides.

Abstract: An improved socket liner for a ball and socket joint is adapted to be fixedly installed within a joint housing so as to encase the ball. The housing defines a longitudinal axis, and the liner, formed in two longitudinally extending mating halves that confront one another along surfaces parallel to the axis of the housing, are oriented to provide a theoretically tightest possible ball bearing-socket fit. Each liner half includes at least one protuberance on each longitudinally confronting surface. The protuberances not only facilitate location of the liner halves during assembly, but also assure a physical separation between the halves, creating an additional lubrication groove for enhanced operation of the joint during its useful life. In one preferred form, a compliant thin soft material cover is overmolded over the exterior socket liner structure, and exterior surface slots integrally provided on the cover interlock with protruding ribs: fixed to the interior of the housing.
