Patent PT-1020077-E (PT)
Inventor: RYAN JOHN O
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 1998-10-01
Abstract: Method and apparatus for "copy-once" of a digital video signal uses a watermark in the video signal. The embedded watermark has two versions: one indicates copy-never and a second indicates copy-once, the difference being a single watermark bit. The watermark carries additional bits representing a digitized attribute (image characteristic) of a particular video frame of the video signal, for instance an average value of the amplitude of a video field. The frame whose attribute is carried in the watermark has a field (or frame) marker, which is a special signal located in the overscan portion of the frame. A compliant video recorder verifies the watermark and the copy-once bit, extracts the associated attribute from the watermark, and compares it to the measured attribute of the marked video frame. Only if the extracted attribute value and the measured attribute value match is recording enabled. During the recording process, the frame markers are stripped, preventing second generation copies of the recorded video signal, and the copy-once bit is set to copy-never.

Patent PT-1049787-E (PT)
Inventor: REINHILDE SCHOONJANS
IPC: C07K16/40
Filed: 1999-01-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to a class of molecules specified as novel multipurpose antibody derivatives. This class of molecules is created by heterodimerization of two constituting components. Heterodimerization is obtained by the specific heterotypic interaction of a chosen VH-CH1 combination of immunoglobulin domains, with a chosen VL-CL combination of immunoglobulin domains. The appropriate VH and VL domains in the VHCH1 and VLCL context, a binding specificity can be constitituted by the heterodimerization scaffold itself. One or both of the comprising VHCH1 and VLCL chains can thus be extended at either the N- or the C-terminus or both with other molecules, such as a toxin polypeptide, an enzyme, a hormone, a cytokine, a signaling molecule, or a single chain linked Fv fragment with the same or a different specificity.
Patent PT-1082486-E (PT)
Inventor: BOURBONNAIS ROBERT
IPC: D21C9/10
Filed: 1999-04-13
Abstract: A method for selectively delignifying lignocellulosic materials and bleaching of pulp and dyes using a combination of an oxidative enzyme and a metal complex. More specifically, the process involves the oxidation of a transition metal redox complex by a phenol oxidizing enzyme such as laccase or peroxidase to mediate the catalytic delignification of chemical pulp and bleaching of textile dye. This process is unique in that only a catalytic amount of metal complex mediator is required on softwood or hardwood kraft pulp, and that recycling or regeneration of the mediator for further pulp delignification is possible. The redox mediator is characterized in that it contains a transition metal ion coordinated with molecules or ions in such a way that the complexes have a formal redox potential between 0.5 and 1.2 volt measured against a normal hydrogen electrode.

Inventor: GOFF PIERRE LE
IPC: C02F1/08
Filed: 1999-07-09
Abstract: A method for distilling a fluid which is useful, for instance, in eliminating salt from brackish and/or sea water includes percolating films on plates with multiple effects having several evaporating zones and condensation zones. The evaporation zones (EVAP) and the condensation zones (COND) are vertically arranged. The liquid to be distilled emerges in the top part of the evaporation zone (EVAP). The vapors produced in the evaporation zone (EVAP) are horizontally transferred into the condensation zone (COND) through a communicating connection. The condensed liquid percolates vertically along the walls of the condensation zone and is evacuated from the lower part of the condensation zone. A distilling plant is also provided for implementing the distilling method, and includes plural cascades made up of elementary cells alternatingly assembled in thermal series.

Patent SG-110991-G (SG)
Title: Data processing systems with delayed cache write
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1991-12-31
Abstract: In a dual bus microcomputer system using a cache memory and a cache controller, the timing requirements placed on non-cache memory components by the cache controller are more stringent than the timing requirements placed on the non-cache memory components by the microprocessor. A logic circuit operates on the cache write enable (CWE) signals, and delays those signals in the event of a cache read miss. Delaying the CWE signals relaxes the timing requirements placed on non-cache memory components and at the same time does not impact wait state parameters for read miss operations.

Title: Tensioning device for a safety belt
IPC: B60R22/28
Filed: 1974-07-05
Abstract: A pyrotechnic tensioning device for a safety belt, comprising a piston slidably mounted in a cylinder, a piston rod projecting from one end of the cylinder, and a pyrotechnic charge for forcing the piston forwards along the cylinder to retract the piston rod and tension the safety belt, also includes damping means for damping movement of the piston in the reverse direction through the cylinder under the action of the tension in the safety belt. The damping means comprises elements, such as balls, located between the piston and cylinder and which cooperate with a conical surface to jam between the piston and cylinder during said reverse movement, whereby controlled damping is effected by the elements deforming or biting into the cylinder by a predetermined amount. A tube or ring may surround the cylinder with similar elements located therebetween, such that a similar damping effect is achieved when the cylinder is pulled out of the tube or ring. The device may include means for limiting the tension applied to the belt, comprising an ejectable member normally blocking passage of combustion gases from one side of the piston to the other, the member being retained in position by an element designed to fracture at a particular pressure.

Abstract: A multi-frequency receiver is provided as part of a system able to evaluate the presence of 2 out of 5 signals and which incorporates 5 channel paths each including a parallel resonant circuit each of which is tuned to a distinct one of the frequencies of the 5 signals. In each channel path a first and second detection circuit is coupled to the corresponding resonant circuit and reacts when the voltage at the coupling point is larger than a respective common first or second threshold voltage, the second of which is larger than the first one. When spurious signals are received, at least one of the first detection circuits will react and the 2 out of 5 evaluation circuit is blocked. When a second detection circuit in a channel path reacts, the effect of the first one in this channel path is inhibited. Only signals having a well determined frequency combination are evaluated.
