Abstract: The invention provides the use of interferon and a protease inhibitor for the manufacture of a medicament for treating a patient infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) by administering the interferon and the protease inhibitor after raising the core temperature of the patient and then returning the core temperature of the patient to normal at least one time. The core temperature is raised to a temperature range and a duration sufficient to reduce the patient's viral load of HCV to less than the sensitivity level of a branched DNA signal amplification test three months after the core temperature has been raised and returned to normal.

Abstract: In a synchronization control device, received AC 3 coded
data or zero data are written into a FIFO buffer(23) in
synchronism with bus clock pulses, while yet-to-be-read data are
read out from the first-in-first-out buffer(23). When a difference
between the quantity of the yet-to-be-read data in the FIFO
buffer(23) and a value represented by synchronization point
information is outside an allowable range, a synchronism
evaluation section(204) controls a rate of the data readout from
the FIFO buffer(23) in such a manner that the difference falls
within the allowable range. Synchronization point control
section(205) detects leading packet data from among a plurality
of successive packet data sequentially arriving in synchronism
with the bus clock pulses, and controls the value of the
synchronization point information in accordance with a period
between the detected leading packet data and next detected
leading packet data. With such arrangements, the
synchronization control device permits appropriate synchronized
reproduction of the received AC 3 coded data without adverse
effects on synchronism evaluation by the synchronism evaluation
section(204).

Abstract: A thermal head includes a metal substrate; an
insulating layer (3) formed on the surface of the metal
substrate (1); a plurality of heating elements (14,24) disposed on the
surface of the insulating layer (3), the heating elements (14,24) being
arranged with a predetermined pitch along a plurality of
lines in a main scanning direction, the plurality of lines
being spaced from each other in a paper feeding direction
perpendicular to the main scanning direction; and a heat
radiating element (2) projecting from the surface of the metal
substrate (1) to the side where the insulating layer is disposed.
In this structure, although most of heat generated by the
respective heating elements is transferred to an ink ribbon
or print paper, residual partial heat is absorbed by heat
radiating means via the insulating layer and radiated into
the atmosphere. This suppresses thermal interference among
the heating elements. The invention also discloses a
thermal head controller for controlling a thermal head for
use in a printer.

responsive to a second control signal (OUTPUT OF Q8) is coupled to the second
retrace capacitance. A second retrace pulse voltage (V2) is generated in the second
retrace capacitance. The second retrace pulse voltage is combined with the first
retrace pulse voltage to produce a deflection current ( i y) in the deflection winding. A
controllable phase shifter (58) responsive to a feedback signal (iQ4) indicative of a
magnitude of a supply current (Is) generates the second control signal at a
controllable phase with respect to the first control signal to regulate the deflection
current amplitude at each of the selected frequencies by retrace capacitance

Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining voice activity in a signal section of an audio signal. The result, i.e. whether voice activity is present in the section of the signal thus observed, depends upon spectral and temporal stationarity of the signal section and/or prior signal sections. In a first step, the method determines whether there is spectral stationarity in the observed signal section. In a second step, the method determines whether there is temporal stationarity in the signal section in question. The final decision as to the presence of voice activity in the signal section observed depends upon the initial values of both steps.
