Abstract: An electro-release system, for example for use in releasing a pharmaceutical compound, has an electrode and a layer structure on said electrode releasably holding an electro-releasable compound. The layer structure comprises at least one functional compound providing a first functional group forming an ionic bond with the electro-releasable compound and a second functional group which, on application of an appropriate voltage bias to the electrode, generates protons which break the ionic bond, thereby controlling release of the electro-releasable compound. Also disclosed are modified electrodes useful in such an electro-release system and having polymer bilayers based on polypyrrole or polythiophene with the two layers carrying different substituents giving different functionality or reactivity.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for generating an internal clock in a radio network controller and a relevant transmission processing board. The transmission processing board comprises: a clock signal selector for extracting a clock signal from a synchronous/asynchronous line connected with a core network when said transmission processing board functions as a master transmission processing board, or for obtaining a clock signal from a clock bus of a sub-rack in which said transmission processing board is located when said transmission processing board functions as a slave transmission processing board; a phase-locked loop for generating a reference transmission clock based on the clock signal extracted or obtained by said clock signal selector; and a clock driver for transmitting the generated reference transmission clock to the clock bus of the sub-rack in which said transmission processing board is located when said transmission processing board functions as a master transmission processing board. According to the present invention, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated clock board, which in turn reduces the types of boards and lowers the complexity of connection lines. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A former is used to manufacture a bag in a packaging machine. The radius of curvature of the former top along a film guiding direction is between 0.27 mm and 0.50 mm, the average surface roughness of the former top is less than 10  mu m, and the number of high projections per unit length of 10 mm of the former top along a width direction of the film guided by the collar into the cylinder. The high projection is defined as a projection of the surface of the former top that is as tall as or taller than 5 times the average surface roughness of the former top. It is found that the minimum radius of curvature of the former top should be equal to or larger than the critical radius that is defined by a radius of the curvature which causes an elastic limit strain at an innermost portion of a support layer of a laminated film immediately outside a barrier layer of the laminated film when the laminated film is bent over the former top. This makes it possible to effectively avoid undesired increase in oxygen transmission of the bag made of the laminated film. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Edge detector techniques, known per se in the art, are applied to the field of automated video quality assessment. Any known edge detection algorithm is used as the basis of an edge detection stage for performing edge analysis of test video fields/frames in order to generate an edge parameter value that can then be used to contribute to an overall video quality value. The use of an edge detector stage contributes valuable information concerning image attributes which are perceptually significant to a human viewer to the quality assessment, thus rendering the result provided by the automated assessment more similar to that which would be performed by a human viewer undertaking a subjective assessment.

Abstract: The present invention deals with optical systems for providing short laser pulses. An object of the invention is to provide an optical system providing compact and cost-effective short laser-pulses using fibers with anomalous dispersion and high non-linear thresholds. The object is achieved by a short pulse optical system for generating or processing short laser-pulses, said optical system comprises an optical fiber in the form of a photonic crystal fiber arranged to provide guidance of light in the core region due to the photonic bandgap effect (PBG), where light propagates in a hollow or solid core surrounded by a Silica cladding comprising a substantially periodic distribution of micro-structural elements, and where the refractive index of the core is lower than the effective refractive index of the cladding. The invention may be useful in applications such as laser-based micromachining, thin-film formation, laser cleaning, in medicine and biology.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for recording and digitizing intensity profiles (IP) of the papillary structure of the skin with high intensity resolution using sensors S with low intensity resolution. For this purpose, a plurality of digital image signals (DS, DS1, DS2) of an identical subarea e.g. of a fingerprint are recorded, whereby the continuous intensity domain (KI) of the fingerprint is scanned in different intensity resolutions, and/or different portions (A1, A2) of said continuous intensity domain (KI) are mapped to discrete intensity domains of the single digital image signals (DS, D1, DS2). By the pixelwise combination of all digital image signals (DS, DS1, DS2), a digital fingerprint image signal (PS) is finally produced whose discrete intensity domain (DI) represents a larger portion of the continuous intensity domain (KI) of the fingerprint and/or has a higher resolution intensity than each single one of the digital image signals (DS, DS1, DS2).
