Title: Ultrasonic flaw detection method and apparatus
Inventor: HATANAKA HIROAKI
IPC: G01N29/42
Filed: 2002-04-29
Abstract: In the ultrasonic flaw detection method and apparatus, wideband longitudinal ultrasonic waves are irradiated from an ultrasonic wave generator probe onto a weld portion of a coarse grained material; from the waveforms of flaw detection echoes that are subsequently obtained, the highest frequency component that can be extracted using time frequency analysis is then extracted; subsequent 1/2 magnification frequency components are then extracted sequentially; waveforms of a necessary plurality of frequency bands from among each of the frequency bands that were extracted and have undergone waveform separation are then multiplied, and waveform peaks that are formed by the multiplication are detected as being defect portion echoes generated by defect portions in the coarse grained material weld portion; and, as a result, information on the defect portion is obtained from the detected defect portion echo.
Patent CA-2386347-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GOLDSTEIN RONEN
IPC: H04N5/265
Filed: 2002-05-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a process for accurately combining low-resolution and high-resolution video streams into a single seamless display to a human observer. The present invention also provides a method for the smooth blending of high-and low-resolution video boundary. In order to create an effective visual display, it is advantageous that the boundary between high- and low-resolution video not be overly distracting and irregular. The present method to reduce distractions from the quadrilateral boundary between low-and high-resolution video by smoothly blending the two in an annular region between the two. This results in a much more visually pleasing, effective display. The present invention also provides a method for progressively mosaicking high resolution imagery over a low resolution image captured by our panoramic sensor. The observer is continuously presented with a low-resolution panoramic image of a remote scene, and this image is updated with high-resolution imagery from the high-resolution sensor, at selected locations of interest, as they are available.

Title: Fast hierarchical backprojection for 3d radon transform
Inventor: BRESLER YORAM
IPC: A61B5/055
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: Data representing a three-dimensional-3D sinogram, samples of the 3D Radon Transform (10, 12) is backprojected to reconstruct a 3D volume. The backprojection requires O(N3log2 N) plane-integral projections. An input sinogram (10, 12) is subdivided into a plurality of subsinograms using either an exact (12a, 12h) or approximate (24a, 24h) decomposition algorithm. The subsinograms are repeatedly subdivided until they represent volumes as small as one voxel. The smallest subsinograms are backprojected using the direct approach to form a plurality of subvolumes, and the subvolumes are recursively aggregated (18a, 18h, 20, 28a, 28h, 30) to form a final volume. Two subdivision algorithms are used. The first is an exact decomposition algorithm, which is accurate, but slow. The second is an approximate decomposition algorithm which is less accurate, but fast. By using both subdivision algorithms appropriately, high quality backprojections are computed significantly faster than existing techniques.

Title: Methods for selecting and producing t cell peptide epitopes and vaccines incorporating said selected epitopes
Inventor: MELIEF CORNELIS JOHANNES MARIA
IPC: C12N5/08
Filed: 2001-01-22
Abstract: We systematically investigated proteasome-mediated generation of fourteen different well-defined CTL epitopes. Synthetic peptides (26 residues) containing known CTL-epitopes flanked by their natural amino acids have been used as substrates for the 20S proteasome in vitro. After several time intervals, peptide digests were analyzed by electrospray mass spectrometry to determine the major fragments produced by the proteasome. In 12 out of 14 peptide digests, the correct C-terminal residue of the CTL-epitope was generated by proteasomal cleavage. The N-terminal residue of the epitope was generally not exactly defined by the proteasome. In most cases, fragments with the correct C-terminal residue were elongated several amino acids at the N-terminus. For two CTL-epitopes we found that their longer precursor peptides, as generated by the proteasome, correlated with efficient TAP translocation.  For one CTL-epitope we found that a natural mutation directly flanking the C-terminal residue of the CTL-epitope precursor disrupted the specific C-terminal cleavage site and resulted in a non-functional cleavage product. This study indicates that proper CTL-epitope generation requires correct C-terminal cleavage by the proteasome, and allows N-terminal elongation of CTL-epitope precursor peptides.

The device comprises a body (1) with a surface (2) and at least three markers (3) which emit waves (19). The position of said markers within the three-dimensional system of coordinates can be determined by a position-detecting device belonging to the surgical navigation system.

The laser beam is emitted in a geometrically defined position in relation to the markers (3) so that the position of the central beam (6) in relation to the three-dimensional system of coordinates can be calculated from the measured position of said markers (3) by a computer also belonging to the surgical navigation system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de mettre en évidence la présence de 5-méthylcytosine dans des échantillons d'ADN génomiques. Dans un premier temps, un ADN génomique issu d'un échantillon d'ADN est mis à réagir chimiquement avec un réactif, la 5-méthylcytosine et la cytosine réagissant différemment. L'ADN prétraité est ensuite amplifié à l'aide d'au moins une polymérase et d'au moins une amorce. A l'étape suivante, l'ADN génomique amplifié est hybridé sur au moins un oligonucléotide de manière à former une double hélice, celui-ci étant prolongé d'au moins un nucléotide. Ledit nucléotide porte un repère identifiable et la prolongation dépend du statut de méthylation de chaque cytosine dans l'échantillon d'ADN génomique. A l'étape suivante, les oligonucléotides prolongés sont examinés afin d'identifier la présence du repère.

Abstract: Interactive subscriber telephone terminals have a display screen and softkeys which are controlled by management software. The management software may be downloaded from a remote server to control the display and softkeys. Different techniques for achieving this download are described. In one case each subscriber terminal has a memory in which can be preloaded a list of one or more Calling Line ID numbers corresponding to the telephone number of a server(s). If a server dials the subscriber terminal the calling line ID is compared with the list and, if there is a match, the terminal immediately goes off-hook and follows the protocol for a Server Initiated Download.      In an alternative case each subscriber terminal is capable of calling out to predetermined server lines to obtain the ADSI scripts. This dial out of stored telephone numbers may be done on an automatic timed basis or may be initiated by a server calling a pager embedded in the subscriber terminal.
