Title: Power oscillator for control of waveshape and amplitude
Inventor: BUSCH-SORENSEN THOMAS
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 2004-09-09
Abstract: An RF power oscillator for contactless card antennas shapes a carrier signal at the operating frequency utilizing a delay circuit having a number of taps for delaying the carrier signal by different lengths of time. The delayed signals are input into a buffer and output through impedance elements to a node coupled to the antenna. The resulting waveform for a square wave input signal, and equal-length delay taps, is a trapezoidal wave output. Any input wave form can be shaped in a variety of ways depending upon the combinations of delay tapsused. Since the buffer drivers for each delayed wave switch state at slightly different times, the amplitude and bandwidth of emitted electromagnetic interference (EMI) is reduced for the transmission circuit.

Title: Methods for obtaining gene tags
Inventor: SUGANO SUMIO
IPC: C07K16/00
Filed: 2004-06-04
Abstract: It is intended to provide a method of forming the 5~-end base sequence of an mRNA as a tag. Namely, a method involving the step of synthesizing a cDNA by using, as a template, an mRNA having a IIs linker containing the recognition sequence of a IIs type restriction enzyme in its CAP structure attached thereto. By treating this cDNA with the IIs type restriction enzyme, a tag comprising the 5~-end base sequence of the mRNA is formed. Thus, a tag can be formed from any mRNA without depending on base sequences. Based on the base sequence data of the above tag, it is possible to provide a method of identifying a transcription initiation point or a primer for synthesizing a full-length cDNA.

Title: Surgical robot and robotic controller
Inventor: LIPOW KENNETH
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2003-12-17
Abstract: The present invention was developed by a neurosurgeon and seeks to mimic the results of primate neurological research which is indicative of a human's actual neurological control structures and logic. Specifically, the motor proprioceptive and tactile neurophysiology functioning of the surgeon's hand s and internal hand control system from the muscular level through the intrafusal fiber system of the neural network is considered in creating the robot and method of operation of the present invention. Therefore, the surge ry is not slowed down as in the art, because the surgeon is in conscious and subconscious natural agreement and harmonization with the robotically actuat ed surgical instruments based on neurological mimicking of the surgeon's behavi or with the functioning of the robot. Therefore, the robot can enhance the surgeon's humanly limited senses while not introducing disruptive variables to the surgeon's naturally occurring operation of his neurophysiology. This is therefore also a new field, neurophysiological symbiotic robotics.
