Patent EP-1263268-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MCBENNETT MICHAEL C
IPC: H05H1/34
Filed: 2002-04-29
Abstract: An electrode for a plasma arc torch and method of fabricating the same are
disclosed, and wherein the electrode comprises a copper holder defining a cavity in
a forward end. An emissive element and separator assembly is positioned in the
cavity, and no brazing materials are used to secure the components of the
electrode. An intermetallic compound is formed between the emissive element and
the separator, and a eutectic alloy is formed between the separator and metallic
holder by independent heating steps. A crimping process is also disclosed for
further strengthening the electrode and increasing the operational life span thereof.
Patent EP-1291867-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ASANO TOMOYUKI
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2002-07-30
Abstract: When contents are copied or transferred from a first
information-processing apparatus to a second information-processing
apparatus, the contents are stored onto a
recording medium of the second information-processing
apparatus as they are without decryption and re-encryption.
In addition, the first information-processing apparatus
also supplies a title-unique key to the second information-processing
apparatus to be used by the second information-processing
apparatus for generating a title key, which is
also stored in the recording medium. In a content
reproduction process carried out by the second information-processing
apparatus, a title-unique key is generated from
its own keys such as a master, media and LSI keys in
accordance with a title-unique-key generation sequence
based on the stored title key, and is used for decrypting
the contents. As a result, it is possible to provide a
processing configuration for efficiently performing an
operation to copy contents from an information-processing
apparatus to another and an operation to store distributed
contents onto a recording medium of a recipient apparatus.

IPC: H04N1/047

Abstract: The relationship between first and second side images
is evaluated to determine how the position of the paper
and/or the size and arrangement of an image can be
manipulated to compensate for paper shrinkage caused by
fusing. Show through is reduced by performing setup
(S2000) to adjust a pixel clock frequency and/or a
photoreceptor speed, determining a residual magnification
error (S3000), determining margin shifts (S4000) to
compensate for the residual magnification error, and
applying the margin shifts (S5000). Paper shrink effects
on registration can be compensated for using determinations
made during a typical printer setup. Show through errors
can be reduced without using a paper conditioner to
pre-shrink or re-wet the paper. In simplex and duplex
printing, the show through errors worsen as the image moves
away from the registration edge. Using information
obtained during setup, a margin shift is determined that
results in a significant reduction in the maximum show
through for each image.

Abstract: The method involves regulating the speed of a motor with a higher speed (N1) to at least one further, lower speed (N2) with a circuit connected to an electrical supply. In a first prioritized step regulation is restricted to a lower preselected motor voltage depending on a preselected speed. In a second step the effective motor voltage is regulated in the restricted range depending on the torque (M) required for regulating to the constant speed. AN Independent claim is also included for a circuit for universal electric motor revolution rate regulation.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés servant à préparer des vaccins efficaces chez des individus porteurs d'allèles de supertype A2. On a utilisé des analogues simples de substitution amino acide de peptides connus de fixation au supertype A2, ainsi que des banques importantes de peptides afin de définir de façon rigoureuse les spécificités de fixation du peptide aux molécules de supertype A2. Tandis qu'on a remarqué des préférences uniques de chaque molécule, on a découvert des recouvrements de spécificité importants. La présence de résidus hydrophobes et aliphatiques L, I, V, M, A, T et Q dans la position 2 de ligands de peptides, a été normalement tolérée par les molécules de supertype A2. L, I, V, M, A et T ont été tolérés au niveau de la terminaison C. Tandis que l'examen d'influences secondaires sur la fixation du peptide a révélé des préférences spécifiques pour les allèles, on a également pu identifier des caractéristiques partagées, qu'on a utilisées afin de définir un supermotif structural A2. Ces caractéristiques partagées viennent également en corrélation avec une réactivité croisée: on a découvert que plus de 70 % des peptides s'étant fixés à A*0201 avec une affinité élevée se fixaient également à au moins deux autres molécules de supertype A2. L'invention concerne enfin les coefficients permettant d'élaborer des algorithmes servant à prédire la fixation du peptide à des molécules de supertype A2.

Abstract: For some video processing applications, most notably watermark detection (40), it is necessary to add or average (parts of) the two interlaced fields which make up a frame. This operation is not trivial in the MPEG domain due to the existence of frame-encoded DCT blocks. The invention provides a method and arrangement for adding the fields without requiring a frame memory or an on-the-fly inverse DCT. To this end, the mathematically required operations of inverse vertical DCT (321) and addition (322) are combined with a basis transform (323). The basis transform is chosen to be such that the combined operation is physically replaced by multiplication with a sparse matrix (32). Said sparse matrix multiplication can easily be executed on-the-fly. The inverse basis transform (35) is postponed until after the desired addition (33, 34) has been completed.
