IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2004-05-12
Abstract: A method of compressing video data having at least one frame having at least one block and each block having an array of pixels is provided. The method transforms the pixels of each block into coefficients and creates an optimal transmission order of the coefficients. The method also optimizes the speed of processing compressed video data by partitioning the data bitstream and coding each partition independently. The method also predicts fractional pixel motion by selecting an interpolation method for each given plurality or block of pixels depending upon at least one metric related to each given block and varies the method from block to block. The method also enhances error recovery for a current frame using a frame prior to the frame immediately before the current frame as the only reference frame for lessening quality loss during data transmission.

Inventor: GANNETT JAMES R
IPC: G01D7/06
Filed: 2004-07-26
Abstract: A flight situation presentation system displays a large majority of the information required for piloting an aircraft in an enhanced manner to reduce potential for misinterpretation and instances of piloting error. Approaches include visual integration of flight data indicators into various functional display areas and further visual integration of the various functional display areas. Visual integration includes creating a synergism amongst the flight data indicators being presented so that the indicators tend not to distract from each other, but rather help to reinforce each other in presenting fully representative flight situation information. Techniques for visual integration include placement of flight data indicators in certain positions on a display relative to one another based upon functional relationships between the operational parameters being monitored.

Title: Cripto antagonism of activin and tgf-b signaling
Inventor: HARRISON CRAIG ADAM
IPC: C07K14/82
Filed: 2004-09-14
Abstract: Cripto, a developmental oncoprotein, antagonizes activin and TGF-b signaling by forming a complex with activin and TGF-b and their type II receptors. This complex precludes the formation of a functional activin/TGF-b-type II-type I  complex, thereby blocking the signaling of activin and TGF-b. Cripto may be generally capable of blocking antiproliferative Smad2/3 signals and provides a novel mechanism of oncogenic action with multiple therapeutic implications.  Inhibiting the formation of Cripto and activin/TGF-b complex may enhance antiproliferative effects of activin and TGF-b.

Patent CA-2562261-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DARNELL LAWRENCE W
IPC: A61M5/178
Filed: 2005-08-19
Abstract: A syringe-like device having a chamber in which a pressurizing piston reciprocates. The chamber is connected on one end to a vial containing a drug to be delivered to an eye and on the other end to a needle or cannula for administering the drug to an eye. Pulling proximally backwards on the piston creates a vacuum in the chamber and draws the drug out of the vial. Upon release of the piston, a spring pushes the piston forward, pressurizing the chamber. Delivery of the drug is controlled by a roller pinching off a section of compliant tubing between the chamber and the cannula, with a design similar to a peristaltic pump. A one-way valve prevents the drug from being expelled back into the vial. The flow rate of the drug out of the cannula can be controlled by rotation of the roller.

Title: Method for manufacturing a circular metal tank
Inventor: VANDERBEKEN MARK
IPC: B23K11/04
Filed: 2005-04-07
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a circular metal tank, from an elongated sheet of metal. The upper and lower longitudinal edges of the metal sheet are bent to produce a first “L” bend and a second “chair” bend, respectively. The sheet of metal is moved in a helical trajectory such that the second bend comes into proximity above the first bend. The second bend and the first bend are welded together such that the wall of the cylindrical tank is formed. Welding of the bends serves to stress relieve or anneal the bent metal, thereby preventing cracks in the metal which may result in leaks and/or compromise the structural integrity of the tank. The first and second bends additionally cooperate to form a helical roller track on the outside of the tank. The tank is supported and rotated about its longitudinal axis on a plurality of rollers that engage the roller track.
