Patent EP-0413588-A3 (EP)
Title: Epidural oxygen sensor
IPC: A61B5/03
Filed: 1990-08-16
Abstract: An epidural oxygen sensor comprises a photodetector (24) and light emitting diodes (22) mounted at the end of a core of compressible foam (52) extending from the end of a hollow bone screw (40). As the bone screw is screwed into a burr hole in the skull, the photodetector and light emitting diodes will contact the dura and the foam will compress to maintain optical contact between the electrical components and the dura. Light from the diode is reflected by blood in the dura and brain, received by the photodetector, and the resultant electrical signals are processed by a pulse oximeter. <IMAGE>

Title: Esterified polyoxyalkylene block copolymers as reduced calorie fat substitutes
IPC: A23L5/10
Filed: 1991-10-15
Abstract: Esterified polyoxyalkylene block copolymers which are useful as reduced calorie fat substitutes in food compositions due to their resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis and absorption upon ingestion have the structure <CHEM> wherein A is an initiator moiety derived from an active hydrogen-containing initiator having at least 1 active hydrogen, IB is a hydrophilic polyoxyalkylene inner block having a carbon DIVIDED oxygen molar ratio of less than 2.5, OB is a lipophilic polyoxyalkylene outer block having an ester linkage to <CHEM> which is substantially resistant to hydrolysis upon ingestion and having a carbon DIVIDED oxygen molar ratio of greater than 2.5, R is a C7-C23 hydrocarbon moiety, and z corresponds to the number of active hydrogens on the active hydrogen-containing initiator. The hydrophilic polyoxyalkylene inner blocks tend to promote thickening or gelling of the composition when mixed with a minor amount of water, thereby lessening problems with anal leakage and short bowel transit times.

Title: Process for purification of styrenic polymer
IPC: C08F6/08
Filed: 1992-01-23
Abstract: There is disclosed a process for purifying a styrene polymer which comprises subjecting a highly syntiotactic styrene polymer which is produced by the use of a catalyst composition of (A) an aluminoxane or a specific coordination complex compound and (B) a transition metal compound to deashing treatment at the glass transition temperature of the styrene polymer or higher. The process is capable of efficiently deashing the styrene polymer produced by polymerizing a styrene monomer at a high concentration with a high conversion efficiency. Accordingly, the process greatly improves the productivity of highly pure styrene polymer.

Title: Multipath torus switching apparatus
Inventor: OLNOWICH HOWARD THOMAS
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1993-08-23
Abstract: Disclosed is a new torus switch with low latency performance. The present invention improves the torus network connection time by providing the capability to try multipaths in one single high speed operation. This multipath approach can be directed at establishing a connection between two specific nodes over various alternate routes simultaneously. The invention is such that if only one route is available, the multipath approach will find that path instantanteously and establish the desired connection with minimal latency. If several links are available, the multipath method establishes the desired connection over only one of the available links and leaves the other options free to be used by other connections. In addition, routing at intermediate torus network stages will be a vast improvement of the wormhole approach. <IMAGE>

Title: Hairbleaching composition.
Inventor: LORENZ HERIBERT
IPC: A61K8/36
Filed: 1994-01-29
Abstract: A hair-bleaching composition, preferably in a water-free base, in particular in powder form, which is mixed with an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution before application to the hair, contains about 10 to about 60% by weight of at least one ammonium salt, is peroxide-free and is composed such that on mixing with hydrogen peroxide solution a pH of the ready-to-use mixture of between about 7.7 and about 9.0 is obtained. The replacement of the persulphate by ammonium salts eliminates the allergenic potential of the composition without the bleaching properties being impaired.

Patent EP-0697794-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HOOGENBOOM CHRIS
IPC: H04N7/50
Filed: 1995-07-31
Abstract: Pixel data is stored and subsequently read from
a random access memory (22) of a video decompression
processor (20) in a manner that reduces the number
of times different rows of the RAM (22) must be
addressed in order to retrieve portions of the pixel
data therefrom. Pixel data from a video frame (70)
is stored in the RAM as a plurality of pages. Each
page substantially fills a different row of the RAM
(22) and corresponds to a different section of the
video frame (70). A motion vector (MV) is decoded
to determine the location of a prediction area (90)
within the video frame (70). In the event that the
prediction area (90) encompasses more than one of
the pages of the video frame (70), the pixel data is
retrieved one page at a time, minimizing the number
of row changes required when addressing the RAM (22)
to retrieve the data.

Title: Method and apparatus for converting thermal energy into electric power
Inventor: KALINA ALEXANDER I
IPC: F01K25/06
Filed: 1992-02-27
Abstract: A high pressure gaseous working stream is expanded, producing a spent stream. The spent stream is condensed, producing a condensed stream. The rich and lean streams are generated by forming from the condensed stream a first partially evaporated stream and a second partially evaporated stream. The partially evaporated stream is separated in a first vapor stream and a first liquid stream, and the second partially evaporated stream is separated into a second vapor stream and a second liquid stream. The first vapor stream evaporates the rich stream and the second vapor stream is combined with a mixing stream to generate the lean stream. <IMAGE>

mapping polynucleotides, and developing polynucleotide
fingerprints. Polynucleotide fingerprints can be used
for identifying individuals, tissue samples,
pathological conditions, genetic diseases, infectious
diseases, and other applications. Polynucleotide
fingerprints can also be used for classification of
biological samples, including taxonomy, and to
characterize their sources. The invention also

Abstract: A video data compression apparatus (1) with which
compressed video data (VOUT) of suitable amounts of data can be
produced and in addition the time required for processing
is short. 
     An encoder control unit (12) performs a preprocessing for
compression and coding and, at the same time, produces a
flatness and an intra AC as parameters indicating the
difficulty of the pattern of pictures to be compressed to
I pictures. A motion detector (14) calculates a predictive
error amount (ME residual) of the motion prediction. An
FIFO memory (160) delays each picture of the input video data. 
     A host computer (20) approximates a real difficulty data D j 
indicating the difficulty of the pattern of each picture
by the ME residual, flatness, and intra AC and further
calculates the target amount of data T j  of the compressed
video data from the approximated real difficulty data D j .
The encoder (18) performs the compression and coding so that
the amount of data of the compressed video data becomes
substantially the target amount of data T j .
