Abstract: A system for measuring the energy of an ultra-short pulse in a laser beam includes a half-wave plate for orienting the polarization of the beam. A polarizing beam splitter is used to reflect a portion of each pulse of the beam and a remainder of the beam is transmitted toward a target. Energy in the reflected portion is measured by a laser energy meter ("LEM") to determine the energy in the remainder of the beam. An output signal from the LEM is used to obtain an error signal that can then be used to rotate the half-wave plate to control the energy level in the remainder of the beam. In an alternate embodiment, a fixed-ratio beam splitter and a second LEM are used to measure and control the energy in the remainder of the laser beam.

Abstract: The present invention discloses new live attenuated strains for oral immunization against cholera that are provided in freeze dried formulations for long term storage and administration to humans. These strains combine the two most important properties of live attenuated cholera vaccine candidates. One such property is being well tolerated by people ingesting them. This was achieved by virtue of mutations already described in the art. The second property is having enhanced environmental safety due to the absence of VGJΦ DNA in their genomes and also due to null mutations in the  mshA  gene or other spontaneous mutations conducive to the lack of MSHA type IV fimbria on the bacterial surface. This was done envisioning that VGJΦ is a filamentous phage able to recombine with CTXΦ and disseminate the cholera toxin genes. This VGJΦ phage as well as the VGJΦ-CTXΦ recombinants uses the MSHA fibers as receptor. Being devoid of MSHA fimbria the vaccine candidates are protected from acquiring CTXΦ from the recombinant hybrid VGJΦ-CTXΦ. Being devoid of VGJΦ, the vaccine candidates are impaired in the dissemination of CTXΦ, via VGJΦ.

Abstract: L’invention concerne un dispositif d’excitation d’une source de rayonnement en vue de réguler une tension transmise à une source de rayonnement dans un système de reproduction d’informations, comprenant un régulateur de source de rayonnement destiné à réguler la tension transmise à cette dernière, et une alimentation électrique permettant de fournir une tension de service au régulateur de source de rayonnement. Dans les systèmes de la technique antérieure, la tension de service transmise au régulateur de source de rayonnement devait être suffisamment élevée pour conférer suffisamment de puissance à la source de rayonnement dans toutes les situations. Ainsi, la tension de service devait présenter une valeur permettant de faire face à une situation extrême, la source de rayonnement étant alimentée avec une tension maximale dans le but d’obtenir une puissance maximale. Dans certaines situations, par exemple lorsque la source de rayonnement n’exigeait pas une tension maximale pour fonctionner, la tension de service injectée dans le circuit régulateur était supérieure aux valeurs requises dans ce genre de situation. La chute de tension résultant de cet excédent se traduisait par une dissipation de puissances, entraînant ainsi un accroissement de la température du circuit régulateur et de son environnement. Les vitesses croissantes nécessitant des puissances de rayonnement plus élevées et les performances de la source de rayonnement diminuant rapidement avec la température, la régulation thermique au niveau de la source de rayonnement revêt une importance grandissante. Selon l’invention, l’alimentation électrique comporte une entrée de commande destinée à réguler la tension de service transmise au régulateur de la source de rayonnement, et le dispositif d’excitation de cette dernière possède également des moyens régulateurs de l’alimentation électrique permettant de produire un signal de régulation qui est acheminé à l’entrée de régulation de l’alimentation électrique, ce signal de régulation étant fonction de la tension transmise à la source de rayonnement. Si ladite tension est relativement élevée, le dispositif d’excitation de la source de rayonnement doit disposer alors d’une tension de service relativement élevée lui permettant de transmettre ladite tension relativement élevée à la source de rayonnement sans provoquer une saturation de la sortie du dispositif d’excitation, saturation consécutive à la tension générée aux bornes du dispositif de rayonnement. Si toutefois la tension transmise à la source de rayonnement est relativement faible, il suffira alors d’injecter une tension de service relativement faible dans le dispositif d’excitation de la source de rayonnement. Si l’on délivre à ce dernier une tension de service relativement faible lorsque son fonctionnement n’exige pas une tension de service relativement élevée, la chute de tension moyenne au niveau dudit dispositif s’en trouve réduite. Il en va de même pour sa dissipation de puissance et sa production de chaleur.

Abstract: Subtitling aims at the presentation of text information and graphical data, encoded as pixel bitmaps. The size of subtitle bitmaps may exceed video frame dimensions, so that only portions are displayed at a time. The bitmaps are a separate layer lying above the video, e.g. for synchronized video subtitles, animations and navigation menus, and therefore contain many transparent pixels. An advanced adaptation for bitmap encoding for HDTV, e.g. 1920x1280 pixels per frame as defined for the Blu-ray Disc Prerecorded format, providing optimized compression results for such subtitling bitmaps, is achieved by a four-stage run length encoding. Shorter or longer sequences of pixels of a preferred color, e.g. transparent, are encoded using the second or third shortest code words, while single pixels of different color are encoded using the shortest code words, and sequences of pixels of equal color use the third or fourth shortest code words.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus 6 has means for illuminating a selected surface with a radar beam footprint, and means for profiling/processing the resultant radar returns in an efficient and logical fashion such as to derive radar attitude information in real time about a number of predefined axes associated with the radar which depends upon the relative dispositions of the radar and the selected surface and upon the radar beam footprint characteristics. Advantageously, a plurality of transmit beams 10,11,12 are used to image the surface and the processing arrangement has the capability of determining roll, pitch and/or yaw pointing data associated with the radar, such pointing data being determined by derivation of the attitude information and by selective input of terrain elevation data so as to take account of variations in the radar viewing geometry with terrain elevation. The inventive radar bears a definite low cost advantage over known radar designs, and retains utility for many applications, for example spaceborne and airborne applications.
