Title: High definition television system
IPC: H04N9/11
Filed: 1989-09-14
Granted: 1993-02-18
Abstract: For a compatible color television system suitable for high and low definition on display, a MAC-system is taken as an example. Herein use is made of a digitally assisted DATV. To effect a bandwidth reduction encoding and bandwidth reduction decoding, use is made, in addition to the MAC-coding and MAC-decoding, of at least three picture signal channels (PC) each having a different picture signal refresh period equal to, for example, 80, 40 and 20 ms which are coupled via a time-division multiplex circuit (MUX). For with the diversity of picture signal sources, it was found that distinguishing during the picture signal processing between a film mode (SW1, T40) and a non-film mode (SW1, T20) results in a significantly improved high-definition picture resolution. This distinction is expressed at the DATV by one information bit (FM min ). During the non-film mode (SW1, T20) three Y-luminance channels (PC11, PC13 and PC12) of 80, 40 and 20 ms and two U and V-chrominance channels (PC21 and PC22) of 80 and 20 ms are operative. During the film mode (SW11, T40) the Y-channels (PC11 and PC13) and the U and V-channels (PC21 and PC23) of 80 and 40 ms are only operative. <IMAGE>

Title: Stable polymerized hemoglobin blood substitute
Inventor: RAUSCH CARL W
IPC: A61K38/16
Filed: 1996-03-22
Granted: 1999-05-20
Abstract: A method for producing a stable polymerized hemoglobin blood-substitute from blood characterized in the use of a chromatographic column, is disclosed. The method of this invention includes mixing blood with an anticoagulant to form a blood solution, washing the red blood cells in the blood solution and then separating the washed red blood cells from the white blood cells. This method also includes disrupting the red blood cells to release hemoglobin and form a hemoglobin solution, which is then treated by high performance liquid chromatography to form a hemoglobin eluate. The hemoglobin eluate is then deoxygenated, contacted with a first reducing agent to form an oxidation-stabilized deoxygenated hemoglobin solution, and mixed with a cross-linking agent to form a polymerization reaction mixture, which is then polymerized. The polymerized hemoglobin solution is then diafiltered with a physiologic solution and with a reducing agent, whereby the polymerized hemoglobin solution is made physiologically acceptable, and whereby the reducing agent scavenges oxygen, to form a stable polymerized hemoglobin blood-substitute which is then packaged and stored in an atmosphere substantially free of oxygen. Compositions made by the methods are also disclosed, as are methods of therapeutically, or prophylactically, treating a vertebrate to increase tissue oxygenation, or prevent oxygen depletion, in tissue of the vertebrate.

Title: Cosmetic melanins
Inventor: PAWELEK JOHN M
IPC: A61K31/70
Filed: 1994-08-11
Granted: 1999-02-18
Abstract: Synthetic melanins suitable for cosmetic uses are produced through oxidative polymerization of monomeric precursors that possess aromatic rings with ionizeable side groups. Agents that enhance adherence of the melanins to skin and hair are co-polymerized with the precursors to become part of the melanin molecules. Potential new precursors and adherence-enhancing agents are screened for efficacy by subjecting them to six separate synthetic procedures, and testing the resulting melanins for color, ultraviolet absorbance charcteristics, and substantivity (adherence) to skin and hair. Melanins of different colors can be blended together in cosmetic creams and lotions to complement the natural skin, eye, and hair colors of an individual. The synthetic procedures are amendable to industrial-scale production of cosmetic melanins. The materials reduce the incidence of solar damage to the skin.
