Title: Methods for determining the coat colour genotype of a pig
Inventor: ANDERSSON LEIF
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1996-07-24
Granted: 2000-11-02
Abstract: Coat color is important to the pig breeding industry for a number of reasons. It is therefore desirable to develop populations of pigs which will breed true for coat color. However, establishing such populations would be time-consuming and costly using traditional test mating programs. It is therefore desirable to determine the coat color genotype of individual pigs. The inventors have shown that the KIT gene in pigs is involved with coat color determination. Specifically, the inventors have discovered that the difference between the I, IP, and i alleles of the coat color determining gene is duplication of at least part of the KIT gene in the I and IP alleles. Further, the inventors have discovered that the difference between the I and IP alleles is that, although both I and IP have a duplication in the KIT gene, only I and not IP exhibits a deletion in one of the duplicated regions. These discoveries have allowed the inventors to develop methods for distinguishing between the alleles I, IP, and i, thereby determining the genotype of individual pigs with respect to coat color. In accordance with the present invention, there are provided methods for determining the genotype of individual pigs with respect to coat color and kits for use in carrying out such methods.

Title: Voice activity detector
Inventor: BARRETT PAUL ALEXANDER
IPC: H04Q/
Filed: 1994-09-14
Granted: 1996-11-21
Abstract: Speech is distinguished from noise by a spectral comparison of an input signal with a stored noise estimate. Updating of the noise estimate stored in a buffer is permitted during periods when speech is absent under control of an auxiliary detector. In order to improve operation in the presence of signals with strong harmonic components, e.g., signaling tones, an LPC prediction gain is computed from the input (x(i)) and a residual (y(i)) obtained from the input following filtering by a filter having a response complementary to the frequency spectrum of the input, and if the gain exceeds a threshold, buffer updating is suppressed.

Title: Powder inhaler
Inventor: PRITCHARD JOHN NIGEL
IPC: A61M11/00
Filed: 1991-09-30
Granted: 1994-02-10
Abstract: A dry powder inhaler (10) consists of a chamber (12) into which powder is introduced from a metering system, and a mouthpiece (26) through which a patient inhales, connected by a duct (16), so that air flows through the chamber carrying the powder into the patient's lungs. Within the duct is an impactor (25) consisting of a plate (27) spaced in front of a similarly sized aperture, and between the chamber and the impactor plate is an orifice (18) narrower than the duct, so the air stream is diverted along S-shaped paths to avoid the plate. The presence of the impactor can improve the efficiency of delivery of a drug to the lungs, and decrease the unwanted dose to the mouth and throat, as the latter is principally due to agglomerates or larger particles which are intercepted or broken up by the impactor.
