Patent EP-1519474-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WALTERS MICHAEL M
IPC: H02J1/10
Filed: 2004-09-29
Abstract: A multiphase ripple voltage regulator generator employs a hysteretic comparator referenced to upper and lower voltage thresholds. The hysteretic comparator monitors a master ripple voltage waveform developed across a capacitor supplied with a current proportional to the difference between the output voltage and either the input voltage or ground. The output of the hysteretic comparator generates a master clock signal that is sequentially coupled to PWM latches, the states of which define the durations of respective components of the synthesized ripple voltage. A respective PWM latch has a first state initiated by a selected master clock signal and terminated by an associated phase voltage comparator that monitors a respective phase node voltage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly accurate and reproducible mathematically-based methodology for quantifying the levels of differential gene expression from microassay protocols. Specifically, the present invention provides a simple deductive approach, grounded in a Bayesian framework, to circumvent the heuristic-based limitation of previous methodologies. Rather than seeking a point-estimate of the fold-change of the level of gene expression, the present invention utilizes the derivation of mathematical formula to determine the  a posteriori  distribution of  all  the fold-changes of differential gene expression which may be inferred from the given measurements. From this a  posteriori  distribution the following information may be obtained: (i) an estimator for the fold-change of the level of gene expression; (ii) confidence limits for the fold-change, at any given confidence level; and (iii) a P-value for assessing the statistical significance of change. The present invention also possesses the advantage that fold-change estimates and confidence limits may even be assigned to signal pairs where both signals are zero or negative, without resorting to heuristic thresholds.

One embodiment comprises a display controller (29) having two interfaces (202,204) for receiving video data. In one embodiment, video data that is transmitted to the first (202) of the two interfaces is stored in a frame buffer (28). Video data that is transmitted to the second (204) of the two interfaces is transmitted independently of the frame buffer and directly to an array driver for display. By limiting the usage of a frame buffer, potential power savings may be achieved. In one embodiment, a client device is manufactured to not include any frame buffer to further reduce manufacturing costs and obtain further power savings.

Abstract: A mapping method, programme and device provide an explicit mechanism for the user to control the gamut mapping. Specifically, hints in the mapping are set by the user to influence the outcome of the mapping and achieve the desired result. In effect, the gamut mapping is defined by example. The mapping may be defined relative to a reference gamut and specifically the mapping is created by defining reference points in the gamut. Alternatively, areas of the purest colour can also be used as the locations for providing the hints. Further, colour combinations, such as cyan plus magenta, cyan plus yellow, cyan plus blue, blue plus yellow, blue plus magenta and yellow plus magenta and 100% of the corresponding colourants are added to the list of hints. Then, the mapping is defined relative to those points.

Abstract: An invention of the type that uses premarks (1) for marking in the letters themselves, which consists of placing a second premark (2) above each premark (1), the second premark (2) being made up of three small signs (3) arranged to form the imaginary vertexes of a triangle, in such a way that these signs (3) constitute the guideline for marking on that premark the supplementary tildes for the aforementioned letters, these tildes being the acute accents (7), grave accents (8) and circumflex (9), as well as the tilde (10) for the letter "ñ" and the dieresis (11). It is thus made much easier for the users of the form to mark in these symbols, because the marking in process only involves using straight lines that are clearly defined by the signs (3), and as the users mark in the correct strokes there is no risk of them being misinterpreted by the opto-electronic instruments that have to analyse the answers, because there are no marking errors.
