Patent EP-0827599-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHARP GARY D
IPC: G02B27/28
Filed: 1996-05-23
Abstract: This invention provides a complementary color polarizer using a single polarizing film followed by a stack of two or more retarders. In a preferred embodiment, the color polarizers of this invention produce orthogonally polarized complementary primary colors (red/cyan, green/magenta, or blue/yellow). This invention further provides color filters which utilize the color polarizers of this invention in combination with a polarization separator to separate the orthogonally polarized colors. The polarization separator can be passive, such as a polarizing beam splitter, or active, such as a switchable polarizer. The switchable polarizer can employ a nematic or a smectic liquid crystal cell. Two color filters of this invention can be cascaded to provide a three color (RGB) filter with an off-state. In combination with a monochrome display or camera, the color filters of this invention provide color displays or cameras.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de synthèse vocale utilisant une base de données constituée d'éléments acoustiques et réalisée à partir de séquences phonétiques apparaissant dans l'intervalle d'un signal vocal. Pour réaliser la base de données, on détermine les trajectoires (220) pour chacune des séquences phonétiques contenant un segment phonétique correspondant à un phonème particulier (210). Une région de tolérance est identifiée ensuite sur la base de la concentration des trajectoires correspondant à différentes séquences de phonèmes (230). Les éléments acoustiques pour la base de données (260) sont formés à partir de portions des séquences phonétiques, par identification des points de coupure (250) dans les séquences phonétiques correspondant à des points dans le temps le long de trajectoires respectives près de la région de tolérance (240). De cette manière, il est possible d'enchaîner des éléments acoustiques ayant des phonèmes de jonction communs, ce qui permet de minimiser les discontinuités perceptibles au niveau des phonèmes de jonction. On décrit également des procédés de calcul simples et rapides, pour déterminer la région de tolérance.

Abstract: Procédé de sélection de séquences d'acides nucléiques codant des molécules de ligands et de récepteurs capables de se lier spécifiquement entre elles. Selon ce procédé, l'acide nucléique codant les molécules de ligands ou de récepteurs est exprimé dans un micro-organisme hôte en combinaison avec une molécule de surface, type E. coli pili, de sorte que le ligand ou le récepteur sont présentés à la surface du micro-organisme hôte. Une unité génétique réplicable telle qu'un bactériophage filamenteux, est utilisée pour présenter les partenaires de liaison potentiels au ligand ou au récepteur, la liaison entre le ligand ou le récepteur et le partenaire de liaison potentiel induisant le transfert d'acide nucléique de l'unité génétique réplicable au micro-organisme. Le procédé peut être extrêmement sélectif étant donné que le micro-organisme hôte est modifié de manière à ne pas présenter la molécule de surface autrement que sous forme d'une fusion avec la molécule de ligand ou de récepteur. Le procédé est rapide et simple et permet de nouvelles applications fondées sur la détection de ligands et de récepteurs là où on en ignorait la présence.

Abstract: DGPS data obtained from an FM broadcast wave is extracted
by a DGPS data extraction section (226). Adjustment error, the
accuracy of which is not very high, has been appended to
correction data to be used in actual positioning correction
within the obtained DGPS data. A correction value creation
section (228) judges, from the contents of DGPS data, which
data in a correction value table (230) may be read. The method
of this judgment is predetermined. Then, the correction value
is created by reading the corresponding correction value from
correction value table (230). Next, the correction value and
correction data are added in a DGPS data specifying section
(232) to yield proper correction data. Position information
having high accuracy can be obtained from the obtained proper
correction data. Subscribers can thus be ranked according to
the accuracy of positioning for which they are prepared to pay.
