Abstract: A method for producing a compressed bit-stream from a digital image
includes the steps of a) processing the digital image to produce a main subject
belief map containing a continuum of belief values relating to the importance of
subject and background regions in the image, b) performing a spatio-frequency
transformation on the digital image to produce an array of transform coefficients,
c) deriving a distortion-weighting factor for each transform coefficient from the
belief map, and d) producing a compressed bit stream using an image
compression system that is responsive to the distortion-weighting factors. The
specific image compression system may be selected from a variety of image
compression systems, including JPEG compression, JPEG2000 compression or
vector quantization. The production of the main subject belief map involves the
extraction of at least one structural saliency feature and at least one semantic
saliency feature from the image, and the integration of the structural saliency
feature and the semantic feature using a probabilistic reasoning engine into an
estimate of a belief that a region of the digital image is the main subject.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a modulated RZ pulse source comprises a
modulated light source optically coupled to a stabilized Bragg grating filter and one or
more optical taps. The light source is preferably modulated in power and frequency
and has an adjustable channel wavelength λ. The Bragg grating filter has a reflectivity
bandwidth having a high slope reflectivity cutoff and is preferably tunable. A feedback
arrangement responsive to the taps keeps the source channel wavelength λ on the edge
of the reflectivity bandwidth for shaping RZ pulses. When the Bragg grating is
stabilized, the feedback system maintains λ at a value linked to the grating reflectivity
edge and, by overlapping at least part of the optical spectrum of the source, converts the
modulated source light into RZ pulses with high extinction ratio (≥ 12 dB). The result
is a high power, jitter-free RZ pulse source that is compact, inexpensive and power
efficient.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an electrochemical
cell. having at least one of its electrodes produced by
coating a slurry mixture of an active material, possibly
a conductive additive, and a binder dispersed in a
solvent and contacted to a perforated current collector
foil. It is particularly important that the active
slurry does not move through the perforations of the
current collector. For this reason, a barrier is placed
against the opposite side of the current collector to
block the perforations as the current collector is being
coated with the slurry. After volatilizing the solvent,
a second, different active material is coated to the
opposite side of the current collector, either as a
slurry, a pressed powder, a pellet or a free standing
sheet. An example of this is a cathode having a
configuration of: SVO/current collector CF x . The
opposed active materials on the current collector can
also be of the same chemistry.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une préparation pharmaceutique exogène dans laquelle une substance bioactive à marqueur lipidique est combinée à de l'albumine. L'albumine se caractérise par une faible proportion de groupes lipidiques/acides gras (rapport molaire entre groupes d'acides gras et albumine inférieur à 0,7) et est de préférence exempte d'acides gras. L'albumine peut être extraite naturellement albumine de sérum humain par exemple ou produite par recombinaison. Une gamme de substances bioactives telles que peptides, protéines ou vaccins peut être marquée et combinée à de l'albumine pour usage humain, vétérinaire ou agricole. L'invention concerne plusieurs peptides antimicrobiens. Une liaison avec l'albumine induit une biostabilité de la substance bioactive marquée. Cette stabilisation a pour effet d'accentuer l'activité antimicrobienne du lipopeptide modèle lorsqu'il est combiné à une albumine sensiblement exempte d'acides gras. En liaison avec l'albumine, le lipopeptide modèle exerce ainsi une activité antimicrobienne pour une concentration moindre que le lipopeptide modèle seul.
