Patent EP-0375439-A3 (EP)
IPC: G01N33/78
Filed: 1989-12-21
Abstract: Methods are disclosed for inactivating interfering binding proteins in a immunoassay for a member of a specific binding pair (sbp). The method comprises including in an assay medium containing a sample suspected of containing an sbp member and an interfering binding protein an effective amount of a water soluble compound having two substituted or unsubstituted phenyl groups linked to a common atom. When the sbp member or its sbp partner has two phenyl groups linked to a common atom, the compound has a number of groups other than hydrogen attached to the phenyl groups and the atom that differs by at least two from the number of such groups on the sbp member. When the sbp member or its sbp partner has two phenyl groups linked to a common atom and the binding protein is not an antibody, the compound has only one group other than hydrogen attached to a phenyl group or the common atom. The methods have particular application in avoiding cross-reactivity of non-analyte materials in a sample with immunochemical reagents used in such assay. The methods have application also in disrupting complexes between an analyte to be determined and other materials so that one can accurately determine the amount of an analyte in a sample.

Patent EP-0379296-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04B14/02
Filed: 1990-01-10
Abstract: A code-excited linear-predictive (CELP) coder for speech or audio transmission at 
compressed (e.g., 16 kb/s) data rates is adapted for low-delay (e.g., less than five ms. 
per vector) coding by performing spectral analysis of at least a portion of a previous 
frame of simulated decoded speech to determine a synthesis filter of a much higher 
order than conventionally used for decoding synthesis and then transmitting only the 
index for the vector which produces the lowest internal error signal. In other 
contexts, performing less critical portions of analysis on a previous frame of data has 
been termed "backward-adaptive". Two types of gain adaptation are used in 
respective implementations, both of which are backward-adaptive and one of which 
is dynamic to the extent that weighting coefficients are iteration-dependent. The 
spectral analysis is twentieth-order to fiftieth-order linear prediction analysis. 
Pseudo-Gray coding is used to reduce errors induced by channel noise; and the 
effects of the gain and specrtral analyses are taken into account in the training 
procedures which determine the sets of vectors which are the reference or candidate 
excitation vectors.

Title: Encoding/decoding in the decomposition and recomposition of a high resolution image
IPC: H04N1/411
Filed: 1990-05-25
Abstract: More efficient encoding/decoding in decomposing and 
decomposing a high resolution image is obtained by employing a unique 
pixel cluster arrangement. The pixel clusters of an image are classified as 
one of a plurality of classifications. A unique encoding/decoding technique 
is assigned to each classification. In one embodiment, a cluster including at 
least one high resolution pixel to be recomposed from a corresponding low 
resolution pixel which is a so-called exception to general prediction rules is 
classified as a first classification. A cluster including no pixels which are 
exceptions is classified as a second classification. Supplemental information 
is encoded/decoded for all pixels in a cluster classified as the first 
classification. Pixels in the cluster classified as the second classification are 
encoded/decoded according to the general prediction rules.
