Patent JP-2000505289-A (JP)
IPC: C12N15/00
Filed: 1997-02-12
Abstract: A scalable method for the production of highly purified plasmid DNA in Escherichia coli is described, which method includes growing plasmid-containing cells to a high biomass in exponential growth and lysing the cells by raising the pH of the culture to a carefully controlled pH value in which chromosomal DNA is denatured but plasmid DNA is reversibly renatured. The method has been developed for the production of pharmaceutical grade DNA for use in in vivo and ex vivo gene therapy.

Abstract: (57)【要約】
画像イメージデータを実時間で圧縮および伸張する方法およびシステム（１０）は、閾値処理およびファクシミリ準拠符号化を使用して、計算量の大きい２次元変換に基づく圧縮技術の必要性を除去する。この方法は最初に、現在の画像イメージフレームと画像イメージフレームの計算による近似との間の差に関する情報のみを含む差分フレームを形成することによって機能する。差分フレームは閾値処理器（３２）へ供給され、これはフレーム内の各画素を、予め設定された閾値以上の強度を有する第１集合または予め設定された閾値未満の強度を有する第２集合のいずれかとして分類する。次に符号器（４４）内のファクシミリ準拠圧縮アルゴリズムを使用して、第１集合の閾値以上の画素位置を符号化する。閾値以上の各画素の強度データを圧縮するために、量子化器（４０）および無損失符号器（５０）を使用することが望ましく、量子化器（４０）は強度をグループ単位で分類し、無損失符号器（５０）はハフマン符号化などの従来の符号化を使用して、強度データをさらに圧縮する。この方法およびシステムによって生成される圧縮データの実際の量を調整して、様々なデータレート能力を備えた通信回線に適応するために、本発明の実施例と共に様々な技術を利用することができる。
