Patent EP-1425615-A2 (EP)
Inventor: JOHNSON FREDERICK G
IPC: G02B6/132
Filed: 2002-07-12
Abstract: Devices and methods for the vapor deposition of amorphous, silicon-containing thin films (31) using vapors comprised of deuterated species. Thin films grown on a substrate wafer (32) by this method contain deuterium but little to no hydrogen. Optical devices comprised of optical waveguides (31) formed using this method have significantly reduced optical absorption or loss in the near-infrared optical spectrum commonly used for optical communications, compared to the loss in waveguides formed in thin films grown using conventional vapor deposition techniques with hydrogen containing precursors. In one variation, the optical devices (31) are formed on a silicon-oxide layer (33) that is formed on a substrate (32), such as a silicon substrate. The optical devices of some variations are of the chemical species SiOxNy:D. Since the method of formation requires no annealing, the thin films can be grown on electronic and optical devices or portions thereof without damaging those devices.

Abstract: A process is described for the production of an immunostimulant by submerged cultivation of Lentinus edodes in which mycelium from agar plates or a fermentation broth is added to a liquid medium in a shake flask or a bioreactor containing nutrients such as malt extract, yeast extract, peptone and glucose having access to air or to which air is added, and which is kept in constant movement at approx. 28 °C. At the proper conditions, there will be an increase in the production of extracellular lentinan, which is shown to be a better immunostimulant than intracellular lentinan. The extracellular product is precipitated from the growth medium by means of methods for the precipitation of microbial polysaccharide.

Abstract: Compositions et méthodes de diagnostic et de traitement de la croissance et de la prolifération de cellules néoplasiques chez les mammifères, en particulier chez l'homme. La présente invention repose sur l'identification de gènes qui sont amplifiés dans le génome de cellules tumorales, telles que celles du carcinome du rein. On estime que cette amplification génique est associée à la surexpression du produit génique, par comparaison à des cellules normales du même type de tissus, et qu'elle contribue à la genèse des tumeurs. Par conséquent, on estime que les protéines codées par les gènes amplifiés sont des cibles utiles pour le diagnostic et / ou le traitement (y compris la prévention) de certains cancers, tels que le carcinome du rein, et peut servir d'indicateur pour le pronostic du traitement des tumeurs. La présente invention concerne encore de nouvelles méthodes de diagnostic et de traitement des tumeurs, telles que le carcinome du rein.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de modulation selon lesquels des flux de données numériques sont transmis par voie radio à un niveau élevé d'efficacité et de vitesse et sans formation concomitante continue importante de phénomènes de fréquence secondaires. Ainsi, des largeurs de bande affectées à cette tâche de transmission sont assez étroites, avec des vitesses de transmission de données à la fréquence singulière de la porteuse RF elle-même. Grâce à l'invention, il est possible d'envoyer des données à grande vitesse dans des voies RF qui sont très étroites et qui normalement ne seraient considérées comme utiles que pour des données à très faible vitesse ou pour la voix analogique. Cette invention fournit un moyen grâce auquel une porteuse de fréquence radio, exprimée comme onde carrée, peut être modulée en amplitude avec une efficacité et une vitesse maximales et avec un temps de propagation de phase et une distorsion de phase minimums. Le filtrage RF sert à réduire l'onde carrée modulée à sa composante sinusoïdale de bande de base après modulation. Ce circuit peut être utilisé pour moduler la porteuse (horloge) à toute fréquence jusqu'à la fréquence de porteuse et au-delà de cette fréquence elle-même. Cela s'avère utile dans l'implémentation de systèmes sans fil à large bande. Cette invention peut également être utilisée avec des systèmes à accès multiple.

Abstract: A portable camera-phone (PH) has a strobe (10) consisting of LEDs
(15∼17) emitting light with a determined quantity of light emission, as an
auxiliary light source for image pick-up of an object (44) by a camera (9).
In an image pick-up mode, the light emission quantity is adjusted
repeatedly until a total exposure value (31) matches an optimal exposure
value (141), based on a difference between a total exposure value of an
image signal (34) output from the camera (9) with the light emission
quantity determined last time and a total exposure value (31) when
emission is OFF. Therefore, in the image pick-up mode, two reference
values are used for determining the light emission quantity to have the
total exposure value (31) match the optimal exposure value, and hence the
light emission quantity can be determined with high accuracy. As a result,
an optimal exposure level can be obtained with high accuracy.

Abstract: In drilling apparatus including a drill string terminating in a drill
chuck 40,46 and a drill bit 20,22 detachably fitted in the drill chuck, the drill bit
has a shank 22 received in the drill chuck. The drill bit shank has a first splined
region adjacent a head portion of the drill bit, this splined region having splines
36 cooperating with grooves between splines of an internally splined
complementary portion of the chuck. Additionally, the drill bit has a second
splined region 41 adjacent its rear end and has a spline-free band 39 located
between said first and second splined regions, and the apparatus includes a liner
54, adjoining the chuck and having an internal axial passage which is splined in
correspondence with the second splined region 41, over an axial extent less
than that of said spline-free band 39. The axial passage in liner 54 has,
immediately behind the splined region of the liner, a region which is free of
splines and has an internal diameter greater than the external diameter of the
second splined region 41 of the drill bit shank. The liner 54 is rotatable
between an angular position in which the splines thereon are in axial alignment
with those in the internally splined complementary portion of the chuck and an
angular position in which they are out of such alignment, so that the drill shank
can be inserted in the passages of complementary cross section in the chuck and
the liner, with the splines of the chuck and liner aligned with the corresponding
splines of the drill bit shank, until the second splined region 41 of the drill bit
shank is within the splineless region of the liner and the end splined region of
the liner is within the spline-free band 39 of the drill bit shank, and the liner 54
thereafter rotated so as to move its splines out of axial alignment with those of
the chuck, thereby preventing axial removal of the drill bit.
