Abstract: The reference image data corresponding to one pixel block
stored in a reference image line memory 6 is output to a stereo
matching circuit 8. The comparative image data corresponding
to a "search range" stored in a comparative image line memory
7 is output to the stereo matching circuit 8 according to an
instruction of a search range address generator 13. The stereo
matching circuit 8 calculates parallaxes by performing the
stereo matching based on the reference image data and the

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the genotypes of polymorphic loci amplified in a mixture of restriction fragments, using an oligonucleotide sequence that is essentially complementary to part of the target restriction fragment, and located adjacent (upstream) to the polymorphism to be detected. The method involves contacting the mixture of restriction fragments with the oligonucleotide sequence under hybridization conditions, such that when the target restriction fragment is present, a hybrid is formed between the target restriction fragment and the oligonucleotide sequence. When the resulting hybrid has at least one unpaired nucleotide of the target restriction fragment and the oligonucleotide being present, and the at least one labeled nucleotide or nucleotide analog is complementary to the at least one unpaired nucleotide of the target restriction fragment directly adjacent to the 3' end of the oligonucleotide sequence, the nucleotide sequence is extended with a labeled nucleotide or nucleotide analog, which can be detected.

Abstract: A universal folding method that has been demonstrated to be effective in refolding a variety of very different proteins expressed in bacteria as inclusion bodies has been developed. Representative proteins that can be dissolved and refolded in biologically active form, with the native structure, are shown in Table I. The method has two key steps to unfold and then refold the proteins expressed in the inclusion bodies. The first step is to raise the pH of the protein solution in the presence of denaturing agents to pH greater than 9, preferably 10. The protein solution may be maintained at the elevated pH for a period of up to about 24 hours, or the pH immediately decreased slowly, in increments of about 0.2 pH units/24 hours, until the solution reaches a pH of about 8.0, or both steps used. In the preferred embodiment, purified inclusion bodies are dissolved in 8 M urea, 0.1 M Tris, 1 mM glycine, 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM beta-mercaptoethanol, 10 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 1 mM redued glutathion (GSH), 0.1 mM oxidized glutathion (GSSG), pH 10. The absorbance at 280 nm (OD280) of the protein solution is 5.0. This solution is rapidly diluted into 20 volumes of 20 mM Tris base. The resulting solutin is adjusted to pH 9.0 with 1 M HCl and is kept at 4° C. for 24 hr. The pH is adjusted to pH 8.8 and the solution is kept at 4° C. for another 24 hrs. This process is repeated until the pH is adjusted to 8.0. After 24 hr at pH 8.0, the refolded proteins can be concentrated by ultrafiltration and applied to a gel filtration column for purification.

Abstract: A transportation vehicle for transporting an individual over ground having a surface that may be irregular. The vehicle has a support platform for supporting the subject and the support platform is coupled to a ground-contacting module at a pivot. While the ground-contacting module may be statically stable, balance of the support platform with respect to the ground-contacting module is maintained by motion of the ground-contacting module in response to leaning of the support platform. A motorized drive coupled to the ground-contacting module causes locomotion of the vehicle and the subject therewith over the surface, while a control loop, in which the motorized drive is included, dynamically enhances stability in the fore-aft plane by operation of the motorized drive in connection with the ground-contacting module. In the event of failure of the control loop, the pivot connection of the support platform to the ground-contacting module may be locked, thereby ensuring stability of the static assembly.

Abstract: A vehicle video imaging system comprises a white-light
LED array for illuminating reflective painted parts of a
vehicle's license plate, a powerful flash with a visual
spectrum cutout filter and a polarizing filter for
illuminating any non-reflective license plate paint and the
vehicle itself. A video camera with a polarizing filter
turned 90° relative to the one in front of the flash receives
the illuminated image of the vehicle and its license plate.
The reflective paint of a license plate will return polarized
light as it is received, so the white-light LED array will
provide all the illumination needed by the camera to get a
good high-contrast picture of the license plate. The
polarizing filters will combine to block out most of the
light from the flash that was returned still-polarized by the
reflective-paint license plate. All other surfaces that do
not have reflective paint will bounce-back and scatter the
light from both the polarized flash and white-light LED
array.
