Abstract: A TV application program (200) has an MPEG encoder (202), which compresses and encodes broadcast program data output by an analog TV tuner (116) according to an MPEG2 standard encoding format. Moreover, the TV application program (200) has a preprocessor (201), which executes painting achieved by making zero luminance of image data of a portion outside a display area. The TV application program (200) executes the painting by the preprocessor (201) as an encoding preprocess by the MPEG encoder (202).
Patent EP-1559884-A3 (EP)

IPC: B64D37/00
Filed: 2005-01-25
Abstract: A fuel delivery system for a gas turbine engine includes a main fuel pump (30) supplying fuel to a fuel-metering device (29). The operational flow range of the fuel system is dependent on a minimum net positive suction pressure at the main pump inlet required to prevent pump cavitation. A mixture of fuel and dissolved gases increases the minimum net positive suction pressure required to prevent cavitation. A fuel de-aerator (28) including a permeable membrane removes dissolved gases from the fuel to eliminate formation of dissolved gases. The elimination of dissolved gases from within the liquid fuel reduces the required net positive suction pressure, enabling a greater operational flow range.

Abstract: A cellular telephony system is described, having possibly overlapping 3G and 2G service areas together with 3G and 2G handsets having inter-operability at least as far as voice calls are concerned. At least some of the 3G handsets have voice telephony (VT) capability, so that each of these handsets is able to communicate with another similarly equipped 3G handset when in a 3G service area - though not able to communicate with a similarly equipped 3G handset when it is off or unreachable in a 3G service area or when in a 2G service area - and not able at all to make VT communication with a 2G handset. The system provides a VT mailbox for receiving, storing and forwarding a VT call when addressed to a 3G handset with VT capability but not currently able to receive the VT call (because it is switched off or unreachable in a 3G service area or is in a 2G service area). If the VT call is directed to a handset not having VT capability, the system automatically invites the caller to leave a message for forwarding to the called handset, which may be a voice message or may be a video message based on the VT call and sent as an MMS message or possibly as an emailed link.
Patent EP-1574180-A3 (EP)
Title: Drug delivery stent
Inventor: ARNEY SUSANNE
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 2005-03-03
Abstract: An implantable stent (60) comprises a tubular member having an interior surface and an
exterior surface, with a region of at least one of the surfaces being hydrophobic. The region is
provided with an array (62) of microstructures or nanostructures that covers first portions of the
surface but leaves second portions exposed in the interstices of the array. These structures
cause the region to have a dynamically controllable hydrophobicity. In one embodiment, a
control device, which is affixed to the tubular member, varies the hydrophobicity of the region.
In another embodiment, which is particularly applicable to the delivery of a medicinal
substance (69) to fluids in body vessels, the stent also includes such a medicinal substance that
adheres to the exposed portions until the control device alters the hydrophobicity of the region
and causes the substance to be released into a body fluid in contact with the stent. Various
ways to load the stent are described. In yet another embodiment, the tubular member is
provided with a mechanism that enables the shape of the stent (e.g., its diameter)  in vivo  to be
controlled dynamically, again by means of external wireless communication. In one more
embodiment, sensors are affixed to the tubular member to enable fluid parameters (e.g.,
pressure, flow rate) to be monitored remotely.

Abstract: A cylindrical burner includes a heat chamber 1 constituted by combining plural strip-shaped combustion plates 7, a coupling member 2 that extends in an axial direction inside the heat chamber, a pair of holding plates 3 and 4 fixed to both ends of the coupling member. The respective holding plates are set in abutment against respective end faces of the heat chamber via end face packings 6 overlapping the respective end faces to sandwich the heat chamber with both the holding plates from both sides in the axial direction. The respective combustion plates are tightened inwardly in a radial direction to prevent gas from leaking from gaps among the combustion plates. Outer peripheral packing sections 6a overlapping outer surfaces at ends of the combustion plates 7 are projected to outer peripheries of the end face packings 6. The outer peripheral packing sections 6a are sandwiched between cylindrical flange sections 3a and 4a, which bend inwardly in the axial direction formed on the outer peripheries of the holding plates 3 and 4, and the outer surfaces at the ends of the combustion plates 7 while being compressed by a predetermined interference such that the combustion plates 7 are tightened inwardly in the radial direction. In addition, ring members 9, which bind the combustion plates 7, are mounted in an outer periphery at an end of the heat chamber 1.

Title: Method and system for teleconferencing
Inventor: MALLYA SATYA
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2005-10-06
Abstract: An embodiment of a method of group communication employs a first step of receiving registrations and un-registrations from a pool of potential users which registers and un-registers users over time. The method employs a second step of establishing a voice communication path (e.g., a passive path) between each registered user and a server. The method continues with a third step of occasionally notifying each registered user of other registered users that are within a contact list for the registered user. In a fourth step, the method receives the voice communication from a particular user who has selected a group of users to receive the voice communication. In a fifth step, the method forwards the voice communication to registered users of the group. An embodiment of a system for group communication comprises a signaling server and a media server. The registration and media servers are coupled to users by way of a packet switching network. In operation, the signaling server receives registrations and un-registrations from the users and occasionally updates a contact list for each registered user with an indication of registration status of a pre-selected subset of the users. The registration status indicates which of the pre-selected subset of the users are registered. The signaling server directs the media server to establish voice communication paths between the media server and the registered users. The media server receives a voice communication from a particular user and forwards the voice communication to a group of the users who are within the pre-selected subset for the particular user.
