Abstract: Opportunistic data are transmitted only when the datum quality level in the transmission channel is reached by all video coders (A1-An) and the quality level may vary from coder to coder. A throughput allocation unit (50) distributes the throughputs among the coders and a multiplexer sends empty packets so as to fill up the transmission channel (54). The empty packets can be replaced by the opportunistic packets by a data inserter (53). Independent claims are included for a video data quality monitoring device and for a video data coding system.

Abstract: The invention provides a mould for use in the injection moulding of a closure (10) from a synthetic plastics material. Such a closure (10) is suitable for a container having an externally screw-threaded neck and comprising a top (15) and a depending skirt (16) which has on its internal surface a screw-thread complementary to the screw-thread on the container. A free edge of the depending skirt is joined by a plurality of frangible bridges (13) to a tamper-evident band (11) which comprises a generally cylindrical body portion and a continuous or segmented rib (18). The rib extends inwardly of the body portion and is adapted to provide a lip to engage under a retaining flange extending outwardly from the neck of the container below the screw-thread thereon. The rib (18) has an upper side facing generally towards the top of the closure and an under side facing generally away from the top. The mould defines the upper side of the rib (18) as comprising a first surface contiguous with the body portion of the band, which surface slopes inwardly and downwardly from the top portion (15), and a second surface which is positioned radially inwardly from the first surface, the second surface having a slope angle more nearly normal to the longitudinal axis of the closure than the first surface is to that longitudinal axis. The mould is capable of being operated at extremely high rates to produce closures with improved resistance to removal from the container. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for the removal of water from gas which comprises an absorption step of bringing a gas saturated with water vapor into gas-liquid contact with a water-lean absorbing liquid comprising a water absorbing liquid having a cloud point temperature above the freezing point of water whereby water vapor present in the gas is absorbed into the water-lean absorbing liquid at a temperature below its cloud point to produce a refined gas having a reduced water vapor content and water-loaded absorbing liquid. A regeneration step is provided in which the water-loaded absorbing liquid is heated to above the cloud point temperature of the absorbing liquid whereby the water-loaded absorbing liquid separates into a water-rich phase and an absorbing liquid-rich phase and the absorbing liquid-rich phase is cooled to a temperature below its cloud point prior to recycling the absorbing liquid-rich phase for use as water-lean absorbing liquid in the absorption step.

Abstract: A computer program for facilitating operation of a screen reader with legacy programs whose user interface definitions do not conform to the design guidelines expected by the screen reader program. A graphical user interface is analyzed to identify a logical sequence of user interface elements within the interface. The sequence of user interface elements within a definition of the user interface is compared with the identified logical sequence to identify any required reordering of the elements to conform to the identified logical sequence. One or more lists or tables are generated for each separable user interface component to (1) specify the required sequence for reordering incorrectly-sequenced user interface controls within the definition and to (2) identify a new static text control which is dynamically generated for use with an edit control which does not have a required static text control.

Abstract: The present invention relates to immunoconjugates from egg-yolk antibodies (IgY), their production and application in diagnostics and therapy. It is an object of the present invention to propose alternative products to conventional immunoconjugates for diagnostic and therapeutic use. The immunoconjugates in accordance with the invention are superior to monoclonal antibodies and immunosera from mammals, as well as to the IgY compounds from conventional chickens, in respect of purity and antigen targeting. The production of human anti-IgY-antibodies is to be avoided if possible, and the immunoconjugates are to be producible economically in a manner doing justice to animal protection and in large quantities. In accordance with the invention, the object is accomplished by polyclonal IgY conjugates from intact egg-yolk antibodies (IgY), IgY fragments, Fab constructs or humanized egg-yolk antibodies from SPF-chickens, preferably transgenic SPF-chickens. The antigens or antigen fragments are to be conjugated as immunologically effective component with at least one further component which may be a signal agent, an active agent or a booster molecule.
