Title: Estrogen receptor alpha variants and methods of detection thereof
Inventor: KALUSH FRANCIS
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-08-07
Abstract: The present invention is based on sequencing genomic DNA from human chromoso me 6 and cDNAs to define the genomic structure of estrogen receptor alpha genes and novel polymorphism/haplotypes in the estrogen receptor gene/protein. Suc h polymorphism/haplotypes can lead to a variety of disorders that are mediated/modulated by a variant estrogen receptor, such as a susceptibility to cancer, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disorder, etc. Based on this sequencing approach, the present invention provides genomic nucleotide sequences, cDNA sequences, amino acid sequences and sequence polymorphism/haplotypes in the ESR-alpha genes, methods of detecting these sequences/polymorphism/haplotype s in a sample, methods of determining a risk of having or developing a disorde r mediated by a variant estrogen receptor and methods of screening for compoun ds used to treat disorders mediated by a variant estrogen receptor.

Title: Color selection scheme for digital video watermarking
Inventor: ZARRABIZADEH MOHAMMAD HOSSEIN
IPC: H04N1/387
Filed: 2004-08-16
Abstract: Determining a chrominance portion to be watermarked employs a perception-based table that indicates for various pixel values which of the chrominance portions, if any, should be selected for watermarking. Only the Y, U, and V values of a pixel are needed to access the table and determine which chrominance portion should be selected. However, the table may be represente d such that it may be accessed using only R, G, and B values. The table may be modified so that it may indicate which of U or V should be selected, or that neither should be selected, indicating that this pixel should not be watermarked at all. Advantageously, the table may be simplified by employing some processing, because a large section of the table may be replaced by a simple test on the pixel values, e.g., U<1 28, to determine the selected chrominance portion.

Abstract: A powder inhaler comprises a container (7) for storing a powdered medicament, a metering member (15) having a dosing recess (18) to be filled with a dose of the powdered medicament, and a mouthpiece (3) being in communication with an inhalation channel (27) of the powder inhaler. Furthermore, the powder inhaler comprises a protective member (19) which is slidingly moveable on the metering member (15) between a closed position, in which it at least covers the dosing recess (18) of the metering member (15) if the metering member (15) is in an inhalation position, and an open position, in which it exposes the dosing recess (18) thereby enabling inhalation of the dose of the powdered medicament contained in the dosing recess (18). The protective member (19) is preferably coupled to an inhalation actuated mechanism (21-23) in such a manner that the inhalation actuated mechanism (21-23) moves the protective member (19) from its closed position to its open position only if there is an inhalation suction force exerted by a user which exceeds a predetermined level. This prevents the dose contained in the dosing recess (18) from falling out of the dosing recess, unless there is no inhalation process initiated by the user.  Therefore, the powder inhaler can also be operated reliably upside down.  Furthermore, a deagglomerator arrangement (cyclone), which may be incorporated in such a powder inhaler, is proposed which comprises a vortex chamber (73) having a diameter between 6 mm and 8 mm, preferably 8 mm.
