Patent EP-1012336-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MATLASHEWSKI GREG J
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-08-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to a screening method to identify individuals at risk of developing diseases associated with different polymorphic forms of wildtype p53; which comprises the steps of: a) obtaining a biological sample from said patients; and b) determining the presence of p53pro or p53arg wildtype alleles in said sample; wherein the allele pattern of patients selected from the group consisting of p53pro/p53pro, p53arg/p53arg and p53pro/p53arg are indicative of a risk factor for developing disease associated with different polymorphic forms of wildtype p53. Notably, individuals who are p53arg/arg are at greater risk of developing pathologies associated with human papillomavirus infections, including cervical cancer.

Abstract: A digitized input signal is sampled, to obtain
a reference input signal. The reference input
signal is spuriously whitened, to obtain a pseudo
whitened signal. An echo replica signal is generated
on the basis of the pseudo whitened signal and an
adaptive filter coefficient. A cancellation error
signal is obtained on the basis of an echo signal
and the echo replica signal. The adaptive filter
coefficient is updated on the basis of the
cancellation error signal, the adaptive filter
coefficient, and the pseudo whitened signal.

Title: Antivirus accelerator

IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 1998-11-06
Abstract: System and method for examining a file (1) associated with a digital computer (2) to determine whether a computer virus is present within the file (1). The file (1) contains at least one numbered sector. When the file (1) is examined for an initial time, the file (1) is scanned by an antivirus module (3, 5). At that time, the numbers of the sectors being scanned and a hash value for each scanned sector are stored into a critical sector file (4). The hash values can be calculated by an antivirus accelerator module (5). When the file (1) is examined a subsequent time, all of the file (1) sectors that were scanned the initial time are examined by the antivirus accelerator module (5). Each of these sectors again has its hash value calculated and compared with the hash value of the corresponding sector as stored within the critical sector file (4). When any calculated hash value fails to match a corresponding stored hash value for any sector, the antivirus scan module (3) is commanded to rescan the entire file (1)

Title: Method for producing a composite bathtub
Inventor: PIEPER FRITZ
IPC: B29C70/84
Filed: 1998-11-20
Abstract: A method for producing a composite bathtub having at least one steel shell and at least one acrylic shell which are solidly joined to each other. A deep-drawn acrylic blank is first reverse-drawn over a core. An outer shell mold is then placed over the acrylic blank, at a certain distance from the acrylic blank. Once the outer shell mold and the acrylic blank are sealed off from each other, a reaction resin is injected into the space between the two shells. After the reaction resin has set, the outer shell mold is removed and the steel blank is positioned. The space between the steel blank and the acrylic blank is re-sealed and a polymer foam is injected into this intermediate space. Once the polymer foam has cross-linked, the composite bathtub is complete. One advantage of the method of this invention is that the acrylic shell and the steel exterior of the composite bathtub do not have to be identical in shape.

Abstract: To obtain a solid-state audio recording unit capable of checking whether normal
audio recording is performed or not on a real time basis. 
     One of input buffers to receive incoming audio data operates at a standard
speed, the other input buffer to write audio data into a memory 9 operates at a high speed, one
output buffer to receive audio data from the memory 9 operates at a high speed, and the other
output buffer to deliver audio data as output operates at a standard speed, to thereby make it
possible to write/read data into/from the memory at a high speed; and thus operation is ensured
enabling, on appearance, parallel processing of input and output, even though, in reality, a
single memory is shared by the input and output ports; and thus it becomes possible to deliver
audio data stored in a memory as output on a real time basis.

Abstract: A Viterbi decoding apparatus sets the initial path
metric value of each state to a value weighted based on the
initial value of a convolutional encoder, and decodes data
string one bit by one bit whenever performing tracing-back
for one step with a fixed state determined based on the
value of a tail bit as a start-point state when the path
metric operation has reached the final operation. Moreover,
the Viterbi decoding apparatus selects a maximum-likelihood
state out of prospective states determined based on the
value of the tail bit and performs tracing-back, until the
path metric operation reaches the final operation after it
has exceeded the number of data strings. Thus, it is
possible to further improve the decoding accuracy and the
decoding speed than before.

Abstract: A hologram polarized light separator which does not generate
heat when absorbing an unnecessary polarized component, does
not degrade, has a high degree of separation, is lightweight,
and allows a system to be of a small scale. Incident natural
light (I) incident normally on the surface of a hologram (1)
is separated into a first linearly polarized light (E 1 )
traveling without being diffracted and a second linearly
polarized light (E 2 ) polarized perpendicularly to the direction
of polarization of the first linearly polarized light (E 1 ). The
first linearly polarized light (E 1 ) passes through a substrate
glass (2) as it is; the second linearly polarized light (E 2 )
undergoes internal total reflection at the glass-air boundary
line and cannot go out to the output side of the separator.
Therefore, the separator can allow only one of the polarized
components of the incident natural light to travel in a
predetermined direction. A liquid crystal projection display
comprising the separator is also disclosed.
