Abstract: A video data compression apparatus (1) with which
compressed video data (VOUT) of suitable amounts of data can be
produced and in addition the time required for processing
is short. 
     An encoder control unit (12) performs a preprocessing for
compression and coding and, at the same time, produces a
flatness and an intra AC as parameters indicating the
difficulty of the pattern of pictures to be compressed to
I pictures. A motion detector (14) calculates a predictive
error amount (ME residual) of the motion prediction. An
FIFO memory (160) delays each picture of the input video data. 
     A host computer (20) approximates a real difficulty data D j 
indicating the difficulty of the pattern of each picture
by the ME residual, flatness, and intra AC and further
calculates the target amount of data T j  of the compressed
video data from the approximated real difficulty data D j .
The encoder (18) performs the compression and coding so that
the amount of data of the compressed video data becomes
substantially the target amount of data T j .

Abstract: A thermostat comprises a tube (10) with a switch
assembly (12) mounted at a first end of the tube. A rod
(14) extends within the tube and is secured to it
adjacent its second end (16). The rod (14) has a
coefficient of thermal expansion different from that of
the tube (10) and is operatively coupled to the switch
assembly (12) so as to cause the switch assembly (12) to
change state in reaction to a change of temperature of
the tube (10). There is carried on the rod (14) a first
supporting member (42) formed from a material of a high
melting point and a second supporting member (44) formed
from a material with a melting point below that
temperature which would be dangerous if exceeded in use.
A spring (50) is trapped in compression between the first
and second supporting members (42,44). An actuating
assembly (60,62,64)) is operable under the action of the
spring (50) on its release in the event of the second
supporting member (44) melting, to cause the switch
assembly (12) to change state so as to prevent further
heating.

substance is frozen into a solid;   sublimating the solid into a vapour;   condensing the vapour on a cold condenser located within a condensation chamber in
communication with the freeze drying chamber; and   prior to condensing the vapour, pressurising the condensation chamber with a gas and

gas flows from the condensation chamber to the freeze drying chamber and thereby acts to
inhibit the solid from entering the condensation chamber.

Abstract: An ink conduit (60, 104) for an inkjet printhead is
disclosed which increases the velocity of ink flowing
across the back surface of a substrate (28, 86) and into
ink ejection chambers (40). The increased velocity of ink
across the back surface of the substrate results in
greater removal of heat from the substrate. This
increased ink velocity is achieved by providing narrow ink
conduit openings proximate to the back surface of the
substrate. To avoid air bubbles (66) becoming trapped in
the relatively narrow ink conduit, one or more pockets
(68, 70, 108) are formed to allow the accumulation of
bubbles, so that the bubbles do not affect the ink flow
through the ink conduit and into the ink ejection
chambers.

Abstract: A station in the WLAN monitors each transmitted
frame to determine whether the frame transmission was
protected by an existing outstanding airtime
reservation. If a frame is transmitted without an
airtime reservation and no response frame is received,
the station assumes that the transmission failed due
to contention, and monitors the number of contention
attempts made to transmit each frame, and the number
of failures to receive an acknowledgement. Based on
this information, the station dynamically adjusts an
RTS/CTS threshold used to determine whether or not an
RTS/CTS exchange mechanism should be enabled. If a
frame is transmitted during a time interval protected
by an outstanding airtime reservation and no response
frame is received, the station assumes that the
transmission failed due to a bit error, and monitors
the number of bit error rate (BER) attempts made to
transmit each frame, and the number of BER failures to
receive an acknowledgement. Based on this
information, the station dynamically adjusts a
fragmentation threshold used to determine whether or
not a data frame fragmentation mechanism should be
enabled.

Abstract: The current invention is a novel approach termed "parallel screening" which allows simultaneously screening of a population for insertions in all genes cloned from that or a closely related organism. In order to test this approach, the flowering plant Petunia hybrida was used as a model system. Petunia hybrida line W137 contains a high copy number of the endogenous transposable element dTph1 and has been previously presented as a genetic tool. A 3D library of the plant genomic DNA of 1000 Petunia hybrida W137 plants was generated. The 3D library consists of 30 pools of DNA from 100 plants each. These were used to generate 30 pools of insertion flanking sequences by nested iPCR using a set of transposon-specific primers or by Transposon Display PCR. Insertions into a gene were detected by hybridizing the amplified insertion flanking sequences fixed to a filter with a gene-specific probe, an approach termed simple screening for insertion elements. Alternatively, the amplified insertion element flanking sequences were labeled and used as a probe to hybridize a filter displaying multiple gene targets, an approach termed parallel screening for insertion elements, which allows the simultaneous screening for insertions in all genes of an organism, appearing in a population of insertion mutants.
