Granted: 1999-01-19
Abstract: An  improved  textile  dryer  has  a  dryer  fabric  for transporting a textile through at least one through-air drying zone.  The fabric is woven from synthetic monofilament yarns.          The monofilament yarn dimensions and fabric weave pattern are selected to provide permeability greater than 900 CFM and initial tensile strength measured in the machine direction of greater than about 100 PLI.   The monofilament yarns are formed from polymers which provide high thermal and hydrolytic stability, thereby enabling the dryer fabric to maintain strength for extended use in the textile drying environment.   Preferred monofilament yarns are made of unalloyed polyphenylene sulfide.

Title: Colour display device
Inventor: LEWIS MEIRION FRANCIS
IPC: H04N9/31
Filed: 1993-06-16
Granted: 2001-10-02
Abstract: A colour display device (10) incorporates three light sources (12) supplying red, green and blue light respectively. A spatial light modulator (20) is positioned to provide time varying selective blocking of light from the sources (12) under television signal control. Light passes from the sources (12) to a condenser lens (16), then through a liquid crystal display element (22) and a pro-jection lens (18) before reaching a screen (30). The display element (22) is also under television signal control. Signals supplied to the display element (22) provide for successive sets of three frames to be displayed, each set incorporating frame information to be displayed as red, green and blue and combinable to form a coloured frame When the element (22) displays a frame corre-sponding to one of the three colours red, green and blue, the modulator (20) transmits that colour and blocks the others. The screen (30) receives a colour image in which red, green and blue are displayed successively for each frame.

Title: Androgen regulation with dna sequences of rat probasin gene
Inventor: MATUSIK ROBERT J
IPC: C12N15/85
Filed: 1993-08-09
Granted: 2003-02-11
Abstract: A DNA sequence (-426 to +28 base pairs) cloned from the probasin (PB) gene promoter region confers androgen regula-tion in cell culture and prostate specific expression in transgenic non-human eukaryotic animals. Various PB promoter fragments impart preferential regulation by androgens compared to other steroid hormones on fused transgenes. Alteration of the DNA se-quences and/or combinations permits production of an (1) assay for androgenic or anti-androgenic materials, (2) transgenic non-human eukaryotic animals models for prostatic disease, (3) cell culture models for prostatic disease, and (4) treatment of human benign prostatic hyperplasia and human prostate cancer by gene therapy. This invention permits assays on agonist and antagon-ist of the androgen receptor or pathways that result in androgen action, testing materials for carcinogenicity of the prostate, test-ing drugs and gene therapy, or protection potential of materials on prostatic cells against prostatic disease.

Abstract: Fueled by higher clock rates and superscalar technologies, growth in processor speed continues to outpace improvement in memory system performance. Reflecting this trend, architects are developing increasingly complex memory hierarchies to mask the speed gap, compiler writers are adding locality enhancing transformations to better utilize complex memory hierarchies, and applications programmers are re-coding their algorithms to exploit memory systems. All of these groups need empirical data on memory behavior to guide their optimizations. This paper describes how to combine simple hardware support and sampling techniques to obtain such data without appreciably perturbing system performance. By augmenting a cache miss counter with a compare register and interrupt line such that the processor is interrupted when the counter matches the compare value, we can sample system state and develop cache miss profiles that associate cache misses with specific processes, procedures, call stacks, addresses, or user defined aspects of system state. This idea is implemented in the Mprof prototype that profiles data stall cycles, first level cache misses, and second level misses on the sun Sparc 10/41. Simple case studies are provided to illustrate Mprof's features.

Title: Computerized microscope specimen encoder
Inventor: KAMENTSKY LOUIS A
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1994-07-08
Granted: 2002-01-01
Abstract: A computerized slide encoder for use with microscope analysis and pathological studies. The slide encoder is attached to the movable microscope stage, whereby x-y direction plane movement and location, is correlated to examination of an identified slide, with information marking and location being directly correspondingly written, at pre-defined times, on computer storage media, during the examination. Subsequent use of the computer-stored information, coupled with the slide encoder, in a slide re-examination, permits independent retrieval of such information and location on the slide. The computer storage media includes digitized vocal transcription of history of the slide made during the original examination. An embodiment of the slide encoder includes a computer mouse pen affixed to the stage of the microscope and a rolling surface, for the mouse pen, being affixed to the movable slide holder. Examination movement of the slide causes a corresponding movement of the rolling surface and the roller ball of the mouse pen. Alternatively, the control movement of the slide holder and microscope stage is directly linked to a computer bus for a direct, software controlled, recordation of slide examination and information location markings.

Granted: 2000-12-19
Abstract: A signal processing unit (1) in which incoming bit-position carrying signals (2') are time controlled in relation to a first clock signal (3), and wherein outgoing bit-position carrying signals (4) are time-controlled exactly in relation to said first clock signal (3), and wherein signal processing procedures carried out internally in the unit (1) require the presence of the bit positions of the signal (2') and the clock pulses of a clock signal (3'). The signal processing carried out internally in the unit (1, 20) is controlled by the clock pulses of a second clock signal (3') which has the same frequency as the first clock signal (3). The synchronization required for the internal signal processing is achieved in a unit (13) by changing the time-relationship of the clock pulses of the second clock signal (3') to synchronism with the bit positions of the signals (2'); in that the thus processed data signals (4') can be stored in buffer circuits (10), wherein a time-controlled relationship belonging to the process signals (4') can be changed to synchronism with the clock pulses (3a, 3b) of the first clock signals (3) before they appear as outgoing signals (4).

Abstract: A method for mitigating or eliminating a halo effect in a printer when black objects are adjacent color objects. In a full color xerographic printer, particularly an image on image printer in which full color composite images are imaged and developed in a single pass through the xerographic system, an image processing method is described to reduce or eliminate the halo effect. When a black object is to be placed adjacent a colored object (e.g. black text on a magenta background) a determination is made to locate the boundary between the black and the colorant. The black pixels immediately adjacent the colored objects are created using process black (a combination of cyan, magenta and yellow colorants) while the central and other black areas not adjacent a colored object are created using black toner only. Various half bitting approaches are used to balance the trade off between edge sharpness and elimination of halo effect.
