Abstract: A centrifuge device that is used to centrifuge a fluid sample, such as a blood
sample, to separate the fluid sample into its various component layers, and which is
capable of measuring the length of the component layers to calculate cell counts for
each layer. The centrifuge device includes a rotor assembly for rotating and thus
centrifuging the fluid sample, and a movable optical reader device for reading the cell
layers in the centrifuged sample. The centrifuge device is capable of accurately
controlling the reading of the centrifuged sample based on the orientation of the
rotor, so that the rotor can continue to rotate the centrifuged sample while the
readings are being taken.

Abstract: A wireless local area network (LAN) adapter (20) that
optimizes the length of message packets, for example according
to the IEEE 802.11 standard, and in an environment having
interfering transmissions (BL1 et seq.), is disclosed. The
disclosed adapter (20) executes an adaptive process by way of
which an adjustment to the packet length is derived based upon
rate measures for the most recent two trial packet lengths. The
rate measure corresponds to a packet success rate for that
packet length, determined either from an estimating function or
by actual measurements, multiplied by a ratio of the data
portion of each packet to a total packet length including
interpacket spacing. Upon convergence as the adjustment becomes
smaller, the optimized packet length for best data rate given
the present interference. A method of determining the need for
packet length optimization is also disclosed, in which the
actual packet error rate is compared against an expected packet
error rate based upon signal-to-noise ratios.

Abstract: Methods and systems for compression of digital images (10) (still or motion sequences) are provided wherein predetermined criteria may be used to identify a plurality of areas of interest (30, 12) in the image, and each area of interest is encoded with a corresponding quality level (Q-factor). In particular, the predetermined criteria may be derived from measurements (50) of where a viewing audience is focusing their gaze (area of interest). In addition, the predetermined criteria may be used to create areas of interest in an image in order to focus an observer's attention to that area. Portions of the image outside of the areas of interest are encoded at a lower quality factor and bit rate. The result is higher compression ratios without adversely affecting a viewer's perception of the overall quality of the image.

Abstract: The invention relates to a modulation code system, including an encoder and a decoder and two corresponding modulation code methods. More specifically, the encoder (100) serves for transforming an original signal s into an encoded signal c satisfying predefined second constraints. Such encoder signals are, for example, transmitted via a channel (300) or stored on a recording medium. After receipt or restoration, said encoded signal c is decoded by a decoder (200) in order to regenerate the original signal s again. It is the object of the present invention to improve the known modulation code systems and methods in such a way that their embodiment requires less hardware. This object is solved in that the encoder (100) comprises a series connection of a modulation code encoder (110) and of a transformer encoder (120) allowing an N-time integration of the output signal of said modulation code encoder (110). Moreover, this object is solved by embodying the decoder (200) by a series connection of a transformer decoder (220) for N-times differentiating the encoded signal c, and a modulation code decoder (210). N is an integer greater than 1.

Abstract: An encryptor 20 encrypts a data word D under control of the associated address A using two cryptographic steps. A hash function B1 converts the address A into a hashed address B1(A). A combiner 24, such as an XOR function, combines the data word D with the hashed address B1(A). The outcome is encrypted further using a block cipher B2. A writer 30 writes the encrypted word D' to the memory 60 under control of the address A. A decryptor 40 decrypts an encrypted word D' that has been read from the memory 60 under control of the associated address A. The hash function B1 converts the associated address A into a hashed address B1(A). The inverse block cipher B2-1 decrypts the encrypted word D' to an intermediate form. A decomposer, such as an XOR, produces the plaintext data word D by combining the decrypted encrypted word B2-1(D') with the hashed address B1(A).

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés de quantification d'acides nucléiques au moyen d'un cycle régénérateur de bioluminescence (BRC). Dans le cycle BRC, des niveaux d'état stationnaire de bioluminescence résultent de processus qui produisent du pyrophosphate. Le pyrophosphate réagit avec de l'APS en présence d'ATP sulfurylase afin de produire de l'ATP. L'ATP réagit avec la luciférine, dans une réaction catalysée par la luciférase, produisant de la lumière et régénérant le pyrophosphate. Le pyrophosphate est recyclé afin de produire de l'ATP et le cycle régénérateur continue. En raison du fait que la cinétique de l'ATP sulfurylase est beaucoup plus rapide que celle de la luciférase, il en résulte un état stationnaire dans lequel les concentrations d'ATP et de pyrophosphate et le taux de production de lumière restent relativement constants. Les photons sont comptés pendant un intervalle de temps afin de déterminer le nombre de molécules cibles présentes dans l'échantillon initial. Le processus BRC comporte un domaine dynamique gérable jusqu'à sept ordres de grandeur et il est assez sensible pour détecter quelques milliers de molécules d'acides nucléiques cibles.

Abstract: A four-wheel drive vehicle (11) has front wheels (15) and rear wheels
(20) driven by an engine (12), and a coupling (17) for changing the
distribution ratio of torque to the front wheels and the rear
wheels. An ECU determines whether engine braking is being applied based
on the vehicle speed V and the throttle opening degree Od. When
determining that engine braking is being applied, the ECU temporarily
performs the engine braking related control. The ECU controls the
engaging force of the coupling such that the distribution ratio of
torque to the front wheels and the rear wheels is changed to a more
equalized state in the engine braking related control than that before
the engine braking related control is started. Accordingly, the fixing
force of the front wheels and the rear wheels is temporarily increased
without delay when engine braking is applied.
