Title: Bone-related sulfatase-like protein and process for its production.
Inventor: TAKESHITA SUNAO
IPC: A61K35/74
Filed: 1993-08-25
Abstract: A bone-related protein named OSF-8 which is obtained from bone tissue of a mammal including mouse or human, and a process for its production. This protein is a novel naturally occurring mammal protein which belongs to a group of sulfatases. OSF-8 degrades the sulfate groups of the sugar chains of proteoglycan, which makes up the cartilage matrix, during the replacement of cartilage into bone tissue at the stage of osteogenesis. OSF-8 can be used as an agent for treating bone metabolic diseases, and its high organ specificity for bones enables its use as a diagnostic reagent for bone metabolic diseases. <IMAGE>

Title: System clustering via serially attached remote i/o busses
Inventor: BEUKEMA BRUCE LEROY
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 1993-02-23
Abstract: A data processing and transmission network includes plural information processing systems and shared sub-systems remote from the information processing systems. Each shared sub-system includes an I/O bus (36) and a plurality of I/O bus interface logic circuits (38, 40, 42) coupled to the bus. Each interface logic circuit is coupled to one of the system processing devices (P1) via a bidirectional fiber optic link (18, 24, 30), and thereby couples its associated processing device to the I/O bus. Further fiber optic links couple each system processing device to the I/O bus of each remaining sub-system through an associated I/O bus interface logic circuit. Each sub-system further includes multiple I/O devices (90, 92), each device coupled to a device controller (86, 88) which in turn is coupled to the I/O bus. The bus interface logic circuits and device controllers incorporate arbitration circuitry (44, 46, 48, ... 94, 96) and communicate with one another via their associated I/O bus to resolve contentions for control of the bus at the sub-system level rather than at the system processor level. These features provide a network with a high degree of redundancy, substantially reduced data access times, and flexibility in network configurations. Regardless of network size, each sub-system I/O device is equally available to all system processing devices, and each system processing device is transparent to the other system processors. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A laser-scan bar code reader is mounted in a hand-held unit operable in two 
modes. In one mode the hand-held unit may be mounted in a fixed position in a 
terminal, in which case the data generated from the bar code reading operation is 
transferred immediately to the terminal and the reader is powered continuously from 
the terminal unit. In the other mode, the hand-held unit is separated from the 
terminal and held manually, in which case the data from bar code reading is stored 
in a local memory to be later transferred to the terminal when the hand-held unit is 
again inserted into the terminal. A battery in the hand-held unit is charged when the 
unit is mounted in the terminal, then powers the hand-held unit while operating 
remote from the terminal. The power for battery charging and the data transfer are 
accomplished without direct connections between the hand-held unit and the terminal.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide an optical fiber cable (10) having
hermetically-sealed optical fibers (25) and excellent strength characteristics without utilizing
a costly welded steel tube. It is a further object of the invention to provide an optical fiber
cable (10) that is capable of efficient and fast manufacture. These and other objects are
provided by an optical fiber cable (10) employing a novel cable core (20), the cable core (20)
comprising an inner, longitudinally extending, substantially-closed C-section tube (15); and
an outer, hermetically-sealed, longitudinally extending outer tube (18) disposed concentrically
around the C-section tube (15) in a substantially close-fitting manner. Advantageously, the
C-section tube (15) assists in protecting the optical fibers (25) against crush, impact and
pressure, and may also enhance the tensile strength of the optical fiber cable (10).
The use of the C-section tube (15) also allows the optical fibers (25) to be efficiently
introduced into the interior cavity of the C-section tube (15)
during cable production. And, as the C-section tube (15) provides the
desired strength characteristics of the cable core (20), the outer tube (18) may be
advantageously optimized to hermetically seal the optical fibers (25)
in the cable core (20). Thus, the outer tube (18)
may be designed, for example, according to its sealing characteristics and
manufacturability without significant regard for mechanical characteristics such as
strength.

Abstract: In optically transmitting a video signal comprised of
luminance and chrominance signals which are frequency modulated
to provide an FM luminance signal and an FM chrominance signal in
respective adjacent frequency bands, such as, 6 to 20 MHz and 20
to 30 MHz, respectively, whereupon, infrared signals
corresponding to the FM luminance and chrominance signals are
output by respective emitting diodes, a carrier frequency for the
FM chrominance signal is set, for example, between 25.93 and
26.08 MHz, so that the lower sideband wave of the FM chrominance
signal is spaced by a substantial frequency from a frequency band
in which a secondary distortion of the FM luminance signal is
substantially generated. Further, the upper sideband wave of the
FM chrominance signal is removed, as in a trap circuit, for
ensuring that the transmitted FM chrominance signal will be
accommodated in the respective frequency band therefor when its
carrier frequency is set, as above. When the infrared signals
corresponding to the FM luminance and chrominance signals are
received by a photodiode and thereby transduced to respective FM
modulated components output by the photodiode and then
preamplified in common prior to separation, the component
corresponding to the FM chrominance signal has the removed upper
sideband wave restored by amplitude limiting thereof.

Abstract: An MPEG decoder system and method for performing video decoding or decompression which
includes a unified memory for multiple functions according to the present invention. The video decoding
system includes transport logic, a system controller, and MPEG decoder logic. The video decoding system
of the present invention includes a single unified memory which stores code and data for the transport,
system controller and MPEG decoder functions. The single unified memory is preferably a 16 Mbit
memory. The MPEG decoder logic includes a memory controller which couples to the single unified
memory, and each of the transport logic, system controller and MPEG decoder logic access the single
unified memory through the memory controller. The video decoding system implements various frame
memory saving schemes, such as compression or dynamic allocation, to more efficiently use the memory.
In one embodiment, the memory is not required to store reconstructed frame data during B-frame
reconstruction, thus considerably reducing the required amount of memory for this function.
Alternatively, the memory is only required to store a portion of the reconstructed frame data. In addition,
these savings in memory allow portions of the memory to also be used for transport and system controller
functions. The present invention thus provides a video decoding system with reduced memory
requirements.

Abstract: In a process for gasifying and burning waste materials, the waste materials are introduced into an incinerator (1) and end up on a burning grate (6) to which combustion air is conducted through various undergrate forced draft chambers (8a to 8e). In the first area combustion air is introduced at a superstoichiometric level in order to ignite the waste materials. Then, via the undergrate forced draft chambers (8c to 8e), oxygen is mixed into the air which is used for the gasification, thereby establishing a substoichiometric level which results in gasification of the waste materials. The combustible gases which result from this process pass via a waste gas flue (12) into a second furnace (2), in which the gases are burned at a superstoichiometric level through the introduction of combustion air. The resulting waste gases pass to a heat exchanger (3).

Abstract: A tracking groove comprising a land area and a groove area is
previously provided on a substrate of an optical disk, and a prepit
is previously provided on a boundary line between the land area and
the groove area of the tracking groove. When information is
recorded on both the land and groove areas, a half-split
photodetector split into two parts by a splitting line perpendicular
to the radial direction of the optical disk is used as a
photoreceiver for receiving light reflected from the optical disk.
The photoreceivers are switched so that light reflected from the
prepit is reproduced as a signal in any one of the two
photodetectors. This enables reproduction signals derived from
light reflected from the prepit to be reproduced at a good S/N ratio,
thus realizing an optical information recording apparatus which has
a simple construction and enables information to be recorded on both
the land and groove areas.
