Title: Microfluidic circuit designs for performing electrokinetic manipulations that reduce the number of voltage sources and fluid reservoirs
Inventor: JACOBSON STEPHEN C
IPC: G01N1/38
Filed: 1999-12-15
Granted: 2002-12-05
Abstract: A microfabricated device and method for proportioning and mixing electrokinetically manipulated biological or chemical materials is disclosed. The microfabricated device mixes a plurality of materials in volumetric proportions controlled by the electrical resistances of tributary reagent channels through which the materials are transported. The microchip includes two or more tributary reagent channels combining at one or more junctions to form one or more mixing channels. By varying the geometries of the channels (length, cross section, etc.), a plurality of reagent materials can be mixed at a junction such that the proportions of the reagent materials in the mixing channel depend on a ratio of the channel geometries and material properties. Such an approach facilitates voltage division on the microchip without relying on external wiring schemes and voltage division techniques external to the microchip. Microchannel designs that provide the necessary voltage division to accomplish electrokinetic valving operations using a single voltage source and a switch are also described. In addition, microchannel designs that accomplish fluidic operation utilizing a minimal number of fluidic reservoirs are disclosed.

Title: Synchronization recovery in a communications system
Inventor: VAN RASSEL WILLIAM F
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 1986-02-21
Granted: 1989-02-23
Abstract: Synchronization between a transmitter and a receiver is effected by encoding and transmitting a synchronization pulse as a series of m first waveforms followed by a series of n second waveforms. The first and second waveforms are of the same duration and are transmitted in phase with each other; and m and n are positive real numbers, with m greater than one. The second waveform is different from, and preferably negatively correlated with, the first. When the receiver detects a series of first waveforms in the received signal, it locally generates a series of (either first or second) waveforms and correlates the locally-generated signal with the received signal. A change in correlation is detected as the synchronization pulse.

Title: Method and apparatus for processing digital data
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 1990-05-17
Granted: 1992-12-24
Abstract: Digital image data is automatically processed by dividing stored image data into domain blocks and range blocks. The range blocks are subjected to processes such as a shrinking process to obtain mapped range blocks. The range blocks or domain blocks may also be processed by processes such as affine transforms. Then, for each domain block, the mapped range block which is most similar to the domain block is determined, and the address of that range block and the processes the blocks were subjected to are combined as an identifier which is appended to a list of identifiers for other domain blocks. The list of identifiers for all domain blocks is called a fractal transform and constitutes a compressed representation of the input image. To decompress the fractal transform and recover the input image, an arbitrary input image is formed into range blocks and the range blocks processed in a manner specified by the identifiers to form a representation of the original input image.
