Abstract: A normal temperature joining method for joining substrates at a normal temperature through intermediate members comprises a step of forming the intermediate member on the surfaces to be joined of the substrates by physically sputtering targets and a step of activating the surfaces to be joined with an ion beams. The target to be physically sputtered is preferably made of a plurality of kinds of materials. Since the materials of the intermediate member are sputtered from the targets placed in various direction viewed from the surfaces to be joined of the substrates, the intermediate member can be uniformly formed on the surfaces to be joined. Further, since the intermediate member is made of a plurality of kinds of materials, normal temperature joining of substrates which are hard to join even if an intermediate member is made of a single kind of material is possible without heating them during joining and without excessive press-bonding.

Abstract: A suspension unit, for example for a track-laying vehicle, comprises an oil-filled cylinder (4) within which a piston (8), connected to a piston rod (26), is provided. The cylinder (4) is oil-filled, and communicates with an upper region (14) of a spring chamber (6), the lower region (46) of which contains gas under pressure. The piston rod (26) has a hollow interior (24) filled with gas under pressure. The piston 8 is connected by a connecting rod (20) to a secondary piston (22) which is slidable within the piston rod (26). On rebound (Figure 1) the piston rod (26) and the piston 8 move relatively to each other between a retracted end position and an extended end position. During this movement and the return movement, oil is transferred, via apertures (40, 42), between damping chambers (38, 44) which serve to damp the relative movement of the piston (8) and the piston rod (26) so avoiding shock loading at the end positions of the movement.

Title: Method and apparatus for manipulating bit streams
Inventor: PORAT AMIT
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2007-10-29
Abstract: Trans-rating of successive macroblocks in a video stream occurs in accordance with the block type. For example, an (Inter) Intra-coded macroblock will generally get trans-rated using first algorithm partly decodes the macroblock and modifies coded residual coefficients by raising coefficient quantization. Intra-coded macroblocks generally get trans-rated using a second technique that operates first to decode the macroblock and then derive all the main decisions therefrom to re-encode the stream using the original decisions. Separately trans-rating Inter-coded and Intra-coded macroblocks in this manner reduces computational complexity, as compared to the use of a single trans-rating algorithm, while still maintaining good video quality.

Inventor: AHMED SHUBBIR
IPC: G16B15/20
Filed: 2007-11-06
Abstract: The present invention deals with examination of the alterability of part, or whole, of the surfaces of beta sheet-based protein structures, focusing especially on enzymes. The alteration is done by supplanting/transplanting a part, or whole, of the surface of one protein onto the surface of a homologous protein of superimposable polypeptide backbone, by exploiting the structural features of beta sheets to alter only the regions of the surface involved in substrate/ligand binding and catalysis. The transplantation involves replacement of a selected set of non-contiguous residues constituting the surface regions desired to be altered in one enzyme/protein, by a set of non-contiguous residues located at analogous positions in the other enzyme/protein, in a manner that is likely to facilitate folding and function of the new protein formed by combining residues from both enzymes/proteins. The present invention also deals with using this surface engineering approach to selectively combine enzyme/protein characteristics from different domains of life that are not ordinarily combined by natural evolution, such as the creation of novel proteins that retains the bulk of the thermostable scaffold of a thermophile enzyme onto which the active surface of a mesophile homolog is transplanted, so as to create a thermo-stable protein with meso-active functional characteristics of pH and temperature of optimal function.
