Inventor: POULTON ADRIAN ROGER
IPC: F16L37/12
Filed: 2001-04-17
Abstract: A connection device for fitting to a member, particularly to a corrugated flexible pipe (146:246:446) formed with a series of spaced annular grooves, the device comprising first and second tubular bodies (10, 11) coupled together, in use, with the pipe received in an open end of the first body (10). The first body has a plurality of resilient lugs (14) with respective inwardly directed projections (17) at the ends thereof to be received in one of the said grooves to grip the pipe. The two bodies can be relatively angularly moved between a neutral position of the device, where the pipe is retained by the resilience alone of the lugs, an unlocked position, where the lugs are released from the pipe, and a locked position, where the lugs are forced into locking engagement with the pipe, movement of the lugs being controlled by cam formations (29) extending from the end surface of the second body (11). In other embodiments the bodies can have a rotation lock in said locked position and/or neutral position, and/or a lock to prevent outward movement of the lugs when the bodies are in the locked position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions, des préparations pharmaceutiques, et des méthodes permettant de protéger des cellules non néoplasiques contre les effets toxiques d'agents chimiothérapeutiques ou d'une radiothérapie au cours d'une thérapie cancéreuse ou un transplant de moelle osseuse. Ces compositions, préparations pharmaceutiques, et méthodes à base d'agents induisant une chimioprotection induisent ou augmentent la production d'enzymes de détoxification cellulaire dans des populations de cellules cibles. Ces compositions et méthodes sont utiles pour réduire ou empêcher la perte des cheveux, les troubles gastro-intestinaux, et les lésions de la peau et de la muqueuse buccale qui apparaissent généralement chez des patients entreprenant une thérapie cancéreuse. L'invention concerne également un nouveau système d'analyse permettant d'identifier de nouveaux agents induisant une chimioprotection.

IPC: H03M13/23

Abstract: The maximum delay time of delayed waves is estimated
by a channel estimation section (106). A coding section
(101) performs convolutional coding of transmit data with
a constraint length determined adaptively based on the
multipath maximum delay time estimated by the channel
estimation section (106), and transmits the transmit data,
and also notifies information indicating the
convolutional code constraint length to the receiving
side. The receiving side simultaneously performs
Viterbi decoding and equalization with a UDMV (153) in
accordance with the constraint length reported by the
transmitting side, and obtains received data. By this
means it is possible to improve error correction
capability in the UDMV without enlarging the scale of
the apparatus.

Abstract: The invention relates to an encoding method for the compression of a video sequence including successive frames organized in groups of frames. Each frame is decomposed by means of a three-dimensional (3D) wavelet transform leading to a given number of successive resolution levels. This method is based on the SPIHT algorithm that transforms the original set of picture elements (pixels) of each group of frames into transform coefficients constituting a hierarchical pyramid in which a spatio-temporal orientation tree - in which the roots are formed with the pixels of the approximation subband resulting from the 3D wavelet transform and the offspring of each of these pixels is formed with the pixels of the higher subbands corresponding to the image volume defined by these root pixels - defines the spatio-temporal relationship. According to the invention, a full exploration of the subbands is performed during the initialization step of the process, and the set significance level of each subtree in the root pixels is calculated and stored. In the sorting step for the process, a comparison between said set significance level and the current significance level n replaces the call to the function that computes the significance of a tree relatively to n.

Abstract: Carrier Interferometry (CI) codes include families of orthogonal polyphase codes that have no length restrictions and can be used for direct-sequence and multicarrier coding. Quasi-orthogonal CI channel codes simultaneously improve probability-of-error performance and increase throughput. CI filtering (701, 702), which is based on CI codes, enables filtering and correlation operations via sampling and adding. CI codes simplify transform operations, such as Fourier transforms, by reducing or eliminating complex multiplications. CI filtering may be used to simplify synthesis and analysis functions and allow all physical-layer processing operations to be consolidated into simple sub-carrier selection and weighting operations. Thus, CI processing enables a software-defined baseband processor.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a releasing method and a releasing member for releasing a towed device from a cableway at a desired point without an assisting person or without stopping the lift. According to the method a towing member ( 2 ) connected to the towing rope ( 10 ) of the towing apparatus ( 5 ) of the cableway ( 4 ) is released from the clutch member ( 1 ) in the towed device by changing the vertical towing angle (R) between the towing member ( 2 ) and the clutch member ( 1 ) at the release point. In order to change the angle, a releasing member ( 3 ), developed for the method and mounted at the release point, is used, whereby the member has a vertical section (V) arranged intersectingly on the towing line at a height, which allows the towed device to pass below it. A safety system ( 9 ) can be connected to the releasing member, which system results in the stopping of the lift in the case that the load in the towing direction acting on the horizontal portion (V) exceeds the allowed value. By using this releasing method the dangers which are created if the release would occur too early or too late, are avoided.
