IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1993-01-08
Granted: 1995-06-29
Abstract: Computer method and apparatus provides remote communication of images. Workstations are remotely coupled to each other across a communication channel. Parameter values of desired images are input at one workstation and transmitted across the communication channel to a remote workstation. In response to the input parameter values, the remote workstation generates and displays the desired images. Further parameter values may be input at the remote workstation for generation and display of corresponding further images at the initial workstation. Interactive video conferencing results as the workstations remotely communicate images to each other.

Granted: 1999-02-04
Abstract: A data transmission in a digital mobile communication system employing a so-called multi-channel access technique, in which one or more traffic channels may be allocated to a mobile station for data transmission in accordance with the data transfer rate required by the application using the mobile station. Upon establishing a data call, the mobile station indicates to the mobile communication network the maximum and optionally the minimum requirements for the user data transfer rate. The mobile communication network assigns the mobile station for a data call a channel configuration consisting of one or more traffic channels in connection with call set-up or handover, the channel configuration depending on the resources currently available in the mobile communication network and enabling performance of the data channel, which is not lower than the minimum requirement and not higher than the maximum requirement.

Title: Assay technique and equipment
Inventor: NORTH JOHN ROBERT
IPC: G01N33/52
Filed: 1985-09-16
Granted: 1989-11-30
Abstract: An article and a technique for the assay of biochemical, biological or chemical species is disclosed. In essence, the article is a substrate (10) carrying a surface relief profile (12) such as a regular sinusoidal grating. There is usually a metal layer (13) e.g. of silver or aluminium conforming to the relief profile. An inorganic oxide layer (14) may coat the metal layer (13). A further layer of a dye-tagged material (17) which is capable of binding the species undergoing assay is bonded to the structure. In use, the grating interacts with the fluorochrome by increasing absorption sensitivity and by regulating fluorescent emission into a narrow cone of angles instead of there being uniform emission in all directions. The presence of bound molecules e.g. antibodies (18) on a layer of dye-tagged antigen (17) affects the fluorescent behaviour of the system, which can be arranged to act as fluorescent activating on binding, or fluorescent inhibiting on binding of assayed species. The fluorescent intensity or the lifetime of the fluorescent state may be measured before and after binding in order to monitor or measure the species undergoing assay. In the preferred case, fluorescent is either quenched before binding of said species and activated after binding thereof, or vice versa. Also, the analyte may be dye-tagged (by conventional techniques) rather than the layer of binding material (17). The technique is well-suited to liquid phase fluorescent immuno-assay.

The access units monitor the number of REQ bits passing and empty packets available so as to thereby establish the distributed queue. The access units are able to handle both data packets (38) which are suitable for information from computers and synchronous packets 36 which can be used for voice circuits.
