Abstract: A user interface with guide lights for a communications device, such as a mobile
telephone, is provided to assist a user in the correct and efficient operation of the
device having a display, and a keypad which contains a numerical 10-key and other
control keys. The user interface includes a means for identifying the appropriate
keys on the keypad which correspond to the step or steps required to activate a
desired operation to be performed within the device. In the preferred embodiment,
identification of the appropriate keys is achieved using a light source which is
mounted beneath each translucent key so that when the light source is illuminated,
the key associated with that light source will be identified to the user. The intensity
of the light sources is variable and may be controlled to provide sufficient contrast to
read all keys in low ambient light while highlighting the keys to be pressed for
operation of the desired function. In high ambient light, the intensity of the guide
lights may be increased for enhanced contrast and visibility. Alternatively, different
colour light sources may be used, with one colour to light all keys for visibility in low
ambient light, if needed, and the other colour to provide the guide lights.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for producing fusion proteins with the heterodimeric cytokine, interleukin-12. In order to insure that the proper ratio of fused and non-fused subunits are obtained in the fusion protein, a specific stepwise approach to genetic engineering is used. This consists of first expressing the non-fused p40 IL-12 subunit in a production cell line, followed by or simultaneously expressing in the same cell, a second recombinant fusion protein consisting of the fused polypeptide linked by a peptide bond to the p35 subunit of IL-12. Molecules containing the p35 fusion protein cannot be secreted from the transfected mammalian cell without first complexing in a one to one ratio with the p40 subunit, thus ensuring the production of active heterodimeric fusion proteins.

Abstract: A digital display device, such as a plasma display or a digital
micromirror device (DMD) based digital light projector, employs a minimum moving
pixel distortion (MPD) set of codewords for reducing visually perceived artifacts
viewed on a digital display device (PDP). The digital display device includes a
minimum MPD mapping process, which maps by, for example, a ROM look-up table,
corresponding present and previous pixel intensity values from first and second image
frames into a preferred equalizing code value corresponding to the present pixel
intensity value. An optimal set of equalizing codewords is determined by comparing
objective measures of MPD error for each of a plurality of trial equalizing codewords
and selecting the codeword having the smallest measure of MPD error. The optimal
equalizing codewords are stored in a ROM lookup table which is addressed by the
previous and current codewords. Each current codeword and its corresponding
codeword from a previous frame are applied to the ROM lookup table which provides
the corresponding equalized codeword. This equalizing codeword replaces the current
codeword in the display data. The digital display device controller then provides the
display data, line by line, to the digital display device (PDP) using a scan driver and a
data driver. Once the display data is loaded into the PDP for an image, the digital
display device controller enables the sustain pulse drivers to illuminate the addressed
cells with the intended sustain pulse train encoded by the codeword.

Abstract: The method for servicing queues (14) holding data (12) packets for
subsequent transmission to a communications link (16) processing comprises the steps
of servicing each queue by forwarding its data packets to the link at time intervals
corresponding to a guaranteed service rate of the queue, provided the queue is non-empty;
and, during time intervals when none of the queues have packets being
forwarded to the link in conformance with the above step, servicing the queues in
accordance with a proportion of idle bandwidth allocated to each queue. The method
is preferably carried out by a hierarchical scheduler (10) comprising an exhaustive
scheduler (30) servicing a plurality of lower level schedulers in accordance with non-equal
priority levels assigned thereto; a non-work conserving shaper scheduler (20)
feeding the exhaustive scheduler; and a work conserving idle bandwidth scheduler
(25) feeding the exhaustive scheduler (30). Each queue (14) concurrently contends for
service from the shaper scheduler (20) and the idle bandwidth schedulers (25). The
shaper scheduler (20) servicing the queue has a higher priority level with respect to the
exhaustive scheduler (30) than the idle bandwidth scheduler (25) servicing the same
queue. The technique distributes the idle bandwidth of the communications link (16)
in a way which is de-coupled from the guaranteed service rates of the queues, thereby
providing a more efficient distribution of the total available bandwidth.

Abstract: A structure comprises, as the major component, a molded member of a
thermoplastic resin composition or a fibrous material which may be a fiber of
the thermoplastic resin composition, a yarn coated with the thermoplastic resin
composition, a rope coated with the thermoplastic resin composition or a woven
fabric coated with the thermoplastic resin composition. The thermoplastic
resin composition contains an antifouling compound represented by the
following formula (1):
 
wherein Y represents hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group or an
aralkyl group, R represents hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkyl group,
R' represents hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkyl group and R and R'
may be bonded to each other to form a benzene ring. The leaching amount of
the antifouling compound into an artificial sea water is controlled to 30 mg/cm 3 
or less at 25°C and 3 mg/cm 3  or more at 15°C per a unit volume of the
thermoplastic resin composition when integrated during initial 10 days after
immersing the structure into the artificial sea water, thereby preventing the
attachment of aquatic organisms for a long time. Also, the structure may be
made water-permeable to have a water permeability of 1 cc/cm 2 ·sec or more
under a pressure of 18 cm water, thereby broaden the application field thereof.

Abstract: An image-processing apparatus, as well as an image-processing
method, is provided with a first inspection
circuit which, with respect to density values of pixels
within a specific area consisting of a target pixel and
pixels in a vicinity thereof in image data for each color
component, calculates an average density value, the sum of
density differences, that is, the sum of absolute values of
differences between the target pixel and the peripheral
pixels, and the number the peripheral pixels having the same
density value as the target pixel, so that a judgement is
made as to whether the target pixel is a maximum value or a
minimum value, and also calculates a run-length and the
degree of busy from the pixel forming the maximum value or
the minimum value. Moreover, based on the run-length and
the degree of busy, the second inspection circuit extracts
a pixel weight switching signal for each of the color
components, and detects the periodicity of meshes of image
data by counting pixels not less than the standard value or
not more than the standard value based on the pixel weight
switching signal within a predetermined counting area. With
this arrangement, it becomes possible to carry out the
discrimination between character areas and mesh areas as
well as the discrimination between black character areas and
white character ares with high precision.

Abstract: The invention refers to a process of colour protection of dyed textile goods to the attack
by peroxides, either due to industrial bleaching or peroxide application in the washing
machine, such as occurs when the textiles are prebleached or washed with detergents that
contain peroxides such as perborates and percarbonates. The most sensitive dyes are
reactive and sulphur dyes for cotton. Some dyes belonging to these classes lose colour
strength and alter their hue. 
     In this invention a new process of colour protection for dyed goods is revealed, by the
application of quenchers, which when applied simultaneously with the peroxide, inhibit
the peroxide attack on the dyes present in the textile fibres. 
     The products claimed in this invention to work as efficient quenchers and colour
protectors are ascorbic acid, DABCO or 1,4-diaza-2,2,2-biciclooctane and
diphenylamine.
