Filed: 1998-11-20
Granted: 2001-06-21
Abstract: Methods for identifying modulators of nuclear hormone receptor function comprise the steps of (a) forming a mixture comprising a nuclear hormone receptor, a peptide sensor and a candidate agent, but not a natural coactivator protein of the receptor, wherein the sensor provides direct, in vitro binding to the receptor under assay conditions; (b) measuring an agent-biased binding of the sensor to the receptor; and (c) comparing the agent-biased binding with a corresponding unbiased binding of the sensor to the receptor. In particular embodiments, the sensor comprises an amphipathic alpha helix nuclear hormone interacting domain comprising a recited nuclear hormone transcriptional coactivator motif sequence, the sensor is present at sub-micromolar concentration, the binding reaction occurs in solution, the sensor comprises a fluorescent label and the measuring step comprises detecting fluorescence polarization of the label. Reagents include labeled sensor peptides and reaction mixtures consisting essentially of nuclear hormone receptor, a peptide and a candidate agent.

Title: Detector for word recognition
Inventor: HORMANN THOMAS
IPC: G10L25/87
Filed: 1995-06-27
Granted: 1998-09-24
Abstract: A speech recognition process uses an algorithm to identify the start of speech and simultaneously the end of a pause as well as the end of speech. The speech signal is divided into a number of blocks and a characteristic vector is defined that has two characteristics. One is a function of the signal energy and the other is a function of the quadratic difference of a linear predictive coding, LPC, Cepstrum coefficient. The average characteristic vector is calculated based upon a fixed number of blocks and a comparison made with a threshold value to determine start and end points. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for determining audience viewing habits
Inventor: ZURLINDEN EVERETT V
IPC: H04Q9/00
Filed: 1990-08-01
Granted: 1992-05-28
Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) for determining the channel of a plurality of predetermined channels to which a remotely controlled receiver (12) is tuned. A viewer transmitter device (24) includes a keyboard (26) for receiving viewer entered selections and a remote transmitter which transmits infrared, ultrasonic, radio frequency or other radiated control signals for each of the viewer selections. A receiver device (28) in a channel detection system (10) receives a signal in the selected transmission medium, and immediately signals a jamming device (44) to broadcast interference which precludes the remotely controlled receiver (12) from identifying and acting upon the transmitted control signal. The receiver device (28) applies the received signal to a processor device (30) that performs a stored program to determine if the received signal corresponds to a transmitted control signal from the viewer transmitter device (24) and, if so, to identify the channel to which the monitored remotely controlled receiver (12) is to be tuned. An associated memory device (52) is used for storing the identified channel reception data. The processor device (30) identifies the user selection and either applies a corresponding control signal to a second transmitter device (48) which transmits a control signal of sufficient strength to overcome the interference, or instructs the jamming device (44) to cease the broadcasting of interfering signals. In either case, the remotely controlled receiver (12) will now receive and implement the viewer selection. The processor device (30) will periodically broadcast a command to the remotely controlled receiver (12) containing the last identified channel data to ensure that a viewer does not manually adjust the channel being viewed.
