Abstract: An optical disc and an optical disc recording apparatus have an improved protection against undesired or illegal copying. Information on optical discs is arranged in sectors, which each has an address label. The address value of the address labels increases linearly from the start of the disc or from the start of the program area of the disc. The address labels of specific sectors, which may have an informationless content, are given different, e.g zero, address values, which prevent copying CD-ROM discs on a standard CD-Recorder apparatus. Said address labels may be stored in the main data stream or e.g. the subcode channel of a CD system.

Abstract: A method and comjugate for treating H. pylori infection in a subject are disclosed. The conjugate is composed of (a) a nuclease-resistant antisense oligomer effective to inhibit H. pylori infection in the subject by base-specific Watson-Crick binding to an H. pylori mRNA transcript, and (b) a transport moiety conjugated to the oligomer. The transport moiety is effective to facilitate uptake of the conjugate from the environment of the stomach into the cytoplasm of H. pylori cells by active transport or by pH-gradient transport across of the cell membrane of H. pylori. The conjugate is administered by oral route, preferably in a swellable polymer bolus designed to release the conjugate in sustained release.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling various functional elements in a digital telephone system using state determination from an echo canceller. An echo canceller is used to evaluate which one of five talk states two speakers are engaged in during a telephone conversation. This state determination information is used to control a tone detector function, a noise suppressor function, an adaptive equalizer function, a transmission mute function, and a vocoder encoder function within a vocoder. During the talk state where the far-end speaker is active and the near-end speaker is inactive, the echo canceller provides a signal which disables background noise estimates from being performed in the noise suppressor and the vocoder encoder. The same signal is used to disable the tone detector and to enable the transmission mute function during this talk state.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically shaving animals' udder and part of their legs while they are in a milking compartment for automatically milking animals. A shaving device is movably connected to one side of the milking compartment and is movable both transversely and longitudinally as well as vertically relative to the milking compartment for automatically shaving animals in a period of about 30 seconds in preselected areas in the vicinity of their udders and hind legs. The shaving machine has a robot arm with a shaver provided on its end. The shaving machine is preferably hingeably connected to the side of the milking compartment and its operations are controlled by a computer so that animals identified by an identification system are shaved, say, every tenth time that they enter the milking compartment to be milked therein, or are shaved therein after a selected duration of time after being previously shaved in the milking compartment. The same detector used for locating the animal' teats for the automatic milking operation is used for detecting the locations of the areas of the animal to be shaved.

Abstract: A circuit is provided for controlling or regulating a phase-locked loop (PLL) output during times when the PLL is unlocked. Noise or corruption on the input signal of the PLL may cause the PLL output frequency to suddenly rise to match the input signal frequency. In many instances, the noise or corruption cannot be filtered by the low pass filter within the PLL. A detection circuit is coupled to receive the input signal, and discern times in which non-filterable noise occurs. The detection circuit may include a decoder which decodes, e.g., error correction coding within the input signal data stream to indicate possible instances in which the PLL will unlock. Once the detection circuit indicates an unlock condition the clocking frequency is regulated to a lower frequency which is acceptable to a digital processor, while the unregulated PLL output clocking signal during an unlock state is not acceptable. Thus, the digital processor can maintain its operating state during times when the PLL clocking signal exceeds the processor maximum operation frequency. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method is described for compressing and/or transporting and/or decompressing a digital signal. The most significant bits of a sample of the digital signal are compressed and transported as a compressed transport sample. Methods are used to improve the compression and transport as hybrid DPCM and a dynamic shift of clip range of prediction errors. For every sample, not only a compressed transport sample but also a residual transport sample is transmitted. The residual transport sample is either equal to the least significant bits of the sample or equal to a substitution value which is a function of the clipping error from the compression of the most significant bits of the said sample. Apparatuses are described for compression and/or transport and/or decompression of a digitised television IF signal according to the method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: It has now been found that the introduction of single stranded oligonucleotides of DNA or RNA, particularly RNA transcribed from portions of wild type prohibitin 3'UTR, into tumors leads to arrested cell proliferation. Significant reduction in the size of primary tumors has been observed following direct administration of prohibitin 3'UTR RNA. Induction of systemic immunity, as evidenced by the disappearance of metastases as well as the lack of tumor growth in rechallenged animals following prohibitin RNA therapy, has been observed. Thus, wild type RNAs transcribed from portions of a prohibitin 3'UTR, or single stranded DNAs comprised of portions of a prohibitin 3'UTR, or synthetically-made oligonucleotides of the same sequences, can be directly administered as therapeutic agents against tumors.
