Title: Zoned ultraviolet curing system for printing press
Inventor: SECOR HOWARD C
IPC: B41F23/04
Filed: 2004-05-12
Abstract: A zoned UV curing system (10) for drying UV inks and coatings in printing presses. A plurality of linear UV lamps (44-49) are spaced apart laterally across the travel path (60) of substrates (5) in a press. The axis of each lamp is aligned generally with the travel path (60), but may be slanted slightly so that every point on the travel path passes directly under at least one lamp. Power supply (110) and control means allow selection of which lamps are powered, so that unneeded lamps may be turned off to save power. The power level of each lamp is variable. One transverse UV lamp (44) may be placed upstream to initiate curing before substrates pass the zoned system. An IR  heater (36) may be placed upstream to preheat UV ink and coatings to enhance curing and to smooth coatings.

Abstract: A triple Tg (megsin/RAGE/iNOS-Tg) is constructed by crossing a megsin-Tg with an RAGE/iNOS-Tg. It is found out that this megsin/RAGE/iNOS-Tg suffers from the onset of remarkable diabetic kidney lesion at an early stage which has never been observed so far and shows various uniform lesion images such as glomerular enlargement. It is also found out that the animal showing these symptoms is useful as a model animal of diabetic nephropathy. That is to say, the disease model animal as described above overexpresses megsin gene, receptor for advanced glycation end product gene and inducible nitric oxide synthase gene and, therefore, suffers from renal dysfunction associated with glomerular disorders at an early stage.

Title: Conditional access overlay partial encryption using mpeg transport continuity counter
Inventor: WASILEWSKI ANTHONY J
IPC: H04N7/167
Filed: 2005-01-12
Abstract: A conditional access overlay system utilizing partial encryption without requiring additional program identifiers. The conditional access overlay system generates duplicate critical packets for separate encryption that are sent using the same packet identifier. The rest of the content stream is sent in the clear. However, these duplicated packets are sent without incrementing a continuity counter relative to one another. The overlay packets with non-incremented continuity counter are sent as the second packet immediately following the original critical packet. At the receivers, the incumbent set-top will use the first of the two encrypted packets while the overlay set-top is programmed to use the second of the two encrypted packets. Therefore, methods for verifying alignment of associated packets may be used to distinguish between multiple encryption methods in conditional access overlay systems.
