Title: Digital television transmitter/receiver and method of processing data in digital television transmitter/receiver
Inventor: KANG KYUNG WON
IPC: H04N21/438
Filed: 2006-09-20
Abstract: A digital television (DTV) transmitter and a method of coding data in the DTV transmitter method are disclosed. A pre-processor pre-processes the enhanced data by coding the enhanced data for forward error correction (FEC) and expanding the FEC-coded enhanced data. A data formatter generates one or more groups of enhanced data packets, each enhanced data packet including the pre-processed enhanced data. And, a packet multiplexer generates at least one burst of enhanced data by multiplexing the one or more groups of enhanced data packets. Herein., each burst of enhanced data includes at least one group of enhanced data packets. The DTV transmitter may further include a scheduler which generates first and second control signals to control operations of the data formatter and the packet multiplexer, respectively.

Filed: 2005-06-17
Abstract: The invention aims at providing a slightly water-soluble camptothecin liposome preparation which permits long-term stable retention of a slightly water-soluble camptothecin therein to thereby inhibit the .alpha.-hydroxylactone ring from hydrolysis in blood and keep the camptothecin in the cyclic state contributing to the antitumor activity and which is improved in the releasability of the camptothecin from liposome and is therefore so excellent in the residence of the camptothecin in blood that the concentration of the camptothecin in plasma can be kept for a long time after administration. This aim is attained by a liposome preparation which contains a fatty acid and a phospholipid as the lipid components constituting the membrane and a slightly water-soluble camptothecin as the drug.

Title: Electromechanical lock device
Inventor: ANDERSSON DANIEL
IPC: E05B47/06
Filed: 2006-04-27
Abstract: A lock device comprises a housing (2) which includes an opening (4) and a core (10) which is rotatably disposed in the opening. A latching element (20) co-acts between the housing and the core and can be moved between a release position in which the core is rotatable relative to the housing, and a latching position in which rotation of the core relative to the housing is blocked. An electronically controllable actuator (30) is disposed in the core and is moveable between an opening-registering-position in which the latching element is movable to the release position, and a latching position in which movement of the latching element to said release position is blocked. A  returning means (50) co-acts mechanically with a key in a key way in the core and with the actuator and such as to move the actuator away from the position of the opening to a further latching position in response to the key being drawn out of the keyway. Movement of the latching element to said release position is blocked by the actuator in this further latching position. Because the returning means is rotatable there is obtained a small latching mechanism that is returned mechanically to a latching position upon removal of the key.
