Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) and to a method for noise reduction of
a video signal. The device comprises:
     motion-compensated interpolation means (2),   a recursive filter (3) intended to receive the output (r(x,y,t)) of the
recursive filter (3) motion-compensated by the interpolation means
(2) at a first input, and the video signal (12) at a second input,   means (9) for calculating the difference between the video signal
(12) and the output (r(x,y,t)) of the recursive filter (3) motion-compensated
by the interpolation means (2).   
     According to the invention, the device has:
     means (8) for providing the first input of the recursive filter either
with the video signal (12), if the difference is greater than a
predetermined noise level threshold (Sc), or the motion-compensated
output (r(x,y,t)) of the recursive filter (3), if the
difference is less than the said predetermined noise level threshold
(Sc).   
     Application to devices for noise reduction before compression.

Abstract: The method involves determining a first detection solution for the CDMA coded signals. There is a subsequent determination of an (n+1)th detection solution dhat(n+1) for n=1,...,N as a function of the nth detection solution using d(n+1) = f(hatd +(n)), where the iteration for n to infinity is convergent with respect to the multi-user solution. If the quality of the approximate solution is not adequate, assigning n to n+1 and iterating the process with the second step; and if the quality of the solution is adequate, terminating the process and using dhat(n+1) as the estimate of the data to be detected. An independent claim is also included for an arrangement for implementing the method.

IPC: C07K14/575

Abstract: Several types of cancer cells are treated with specialized therapies, as they have specific properties such as steroid-dependant, especially estradiol-dependant growth. Breast cancer and colon cancer cells often depend to some extend on estradiol-mediated growth signals. Therefore, especially breast cancer patients are routinely tested for the presence of estradiol receptors by immune histology. If the estradiol receptor is present usually an anti-estradiol therapy is used to eradicate the tumour and to prevent rezidives. However to a certain extend this therapy does not work and it would be an advantage to know this as early as possible, thereby not to loose any time with wrong therapy concepts. Therefore a better predictive marker to diagnose steroid-dependant cancer cells is necessary, which is provided by this invention. Prothymosin alpha (PTA) can be measured in tissue samples and plasma of breast cancer and colon cancer patients and indicates, whether the estradiol pathway is functional and consequently whether anti-estradiol therapy may be successful. PTA can be a surrogate for estradiol receptor detection by immune histology, can be a marker to monitor resistance of cancer cells towards anti-estradiol therapy and has the advantage to be determined from easily accessible patient samples such as serum or plasma. Claimed are PTA peptides and nucleic acids, binding agents therefore, test kits and diagnostic and therapeutic methods and compositions.

Abstract: An endboard (10) for supporting a roll of material is provided. The endboard
consists of a substantially rigid member that is sized and shaped to receive and support
the roll of material. The endboard is molded from a mixture of plastic and sawdust.
The combination of plastic and sawdust provides improved loading bearing strength
and allows for support of heavy rolls of material without requiring the roll to support
itself on its face. The endboard design thus prevents damage to the rolled material
stored in horizontal fashion. In a preferred embodiment, the endboard has a series of
elongated substantially parallel recessed portions (139,134) that are vertically aligned and at least
partially define vertical ribbed portions (136,138). The recessed portions and ribbed portions thus
reduce the amount of material needed for construction of the endboards, while
maintaining the structural integrity thereof.
