Patent NO-950986-D0 (NO)
Inventor: KLAVENESS JO
IPC: A61K49/22
Filed: 1995-03-14
Abstract: Proteinaceous gas- or gas precursor-containing microbubble contrast agents, e.g. for use in ultrasound and/or MR imaging, in which the protein matrix is crosslinked by reaction with a bifunctional aldehyde (e.g. a dialdehyde such as glutaraldehyde or an  alpha , beta -unsaturated aldehyde such as acrolein) in an aqueous medium at substantially neutral pH exhibit improved in vivo and storage stabilities, particularly if the matrix is also reacted with a Schiff's base reducing agent such as a borohydride. Modification of the size distribution of such crosslinked proteinaceous gas-containing contrast agents, e.g. to reduce the mean size of the microbubbles, further enhances their stability and permits preparation of novel contrast agents having a particularly narrow microbubble size distribution.

Abstract: A laser rangefinding system utilizes multiple pulse, multiple return, modal range processing for clutter rejection. A laser source (58) emits a series of laser beam pulses (60), and each reflected return from objects (54, 56) in a scene (52) for each of the pulses (60) is recorded. Each return signal above a predetermined threshold is added as a count to a count table within a selected bin representing the range of the return signal. After all of the analog return signals are recorded, the range bin with the most counts is selected as the range of a target (54). <IMAGE>

Patent GB-0428052-D0 (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to power supplies
IPC: H02M7/217
Filed: 2004-12-22
Abstract: In order to operate a low voltage source from a mains voltage power supply, such as an electricity meter, the alternating current (AC) mains voltage must first be converted to direct current (DC). It is common practice in low cost power supplies to make use of a very simple arrangement of components to reduce the high ac voltage to a lower useable dc voltage, such systems operating in a half wave rectification mode to reduce the circuit component numbers. This makes for inefficient DC voltage supplies. The present invention seeks to address a need to increase an amount of available electrical energy to operate the low voltage circuit requirements of an electricity meter without increasing the energy taken from the mains voltage. The present invention provides a power supply of which both cycles of an input alternating current are employed through the use of an inductor based circuit. During the negative half-cycle, current from Diode D32 flows through inductor L31 which stores the energy, which is released by diode D33 during the positive half-cycle. A switch (Q1, see figure 4) may be used to pulse or chop the current so that a smaller, less costly inductor L31 may be used.

Title: Flexible elongate body
IPC: H01B7/17

Abstract: ) An overhead electric conductor comprises a central tubular metal core 52, at least one layer 55 of helically wound bare metal wires surrounding the core and, loosely housed in the bore of the core, at least one optical fibre element 11. The optical fibre element 11 comprises a flexible tube 17 of elongate transverse cross-section in which is loosely housed an optical fibre ribbon structure 12 and which is resiliently set in such a form that it follows a path of smoothly curved undulations, the axes of curvature of which lie parallel to one another and normal to the axis of the tube. Should a tensile force applied to the overhead conductor be transferred to the loosely housed optical fibre element, the flexible tube of the element will tend to straighten in a lengthwise direction against the action of its resilient set thereby to reduce any tensile force that might otherwise be applied to the optical fibres and, when the tensile force is removed, the tube will return under the action of its resilient set towards its original form.

Title: An apparatus and method for preventing unauthorized access to bios in a personal computer system
IPC: G06F21/12
Filed: 1990-06-11
Abstract: An apparatus and method for protecting BIOS stored on a direct access storage device (62) into a personal computer system (10). The personal computer system (JO) comprises a system processor (26), a system planar (24), a random access main memory (32), a read only memory (36), a protection means and at least one direct access storage device (62). The read only memory (36) includes a first portion of BIOS and data representing the type of system processor (26) and system planar (24) I/O configuration. The first portion of BIOS initializes the system (10) and the direct access storage device (62), and resets the protection means in order to read in a master boot record into the random access memory (32) from a protectable partition on the direct access storage device (62). The master boot record includes a data segment and an executable code segment. The data segment includes data representing system hardware and a system configuration which is supported by the master boot record. The first BIOS portion confirms the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware by verifying that the data from the data segment of the master boot record agrees with the system processor (26), system planar (24), and planar (24) I/O configuration. If the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware, the first BIOS portion vectors the system processor (26) to execute the executable code segment of the master boot record. The executable code segment confirms that the system configuration has not changed and loads in the remaining BIOS portion from the same protectable partition on the direct access storage device (62) into random access memory (32). The executable code segment then verifies the authenticity of the remaining BIOS portion and vectors the system processor (26) to begin executing the BIOS now in random access memory. BIOS, executing in random access memory (32), then activates the protection means to prevent further access to the protectable partition. BIOS boots up the operating system to begin operation of the personal computer system.
