Patent EP-1405080-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PROFITT JAMES A
IPC: G01N21/78
Filed: 2002-06-21
Abstract: An assay for the determination of protein in an aqueous test fluid that comprises combining the test fluid with a buffer and a dye. The buffer is selected from citrulline, malonic acid, cyanoacetic acid, citraconic acid, methyl phosphonic acid, sarcosine, saccharin, or combinations thereof. The buffer is added in sufficient quantity to maintain the pH of the assay including the test fluid at a selected target pH range within a range of from about 2.0 to about 3.0. The dye has a pKa which enables it to operate as a protein indicator at the target pH range. The dye also has affinity for protein such that it will provide a detectable response in the presence of greater than about 15 mg/dL protein to thereby render the assay suitable for the detection of total protein in the test fluid. The buffer and dye may be absorbed in a test strip of absorbent material.

IPC: H04N19/80

Abstract: Selon l'invention il est possible de réduire le bruit dans un système vidéo en procédant au filtrage temporel à compensation de mouvement au moyen de vecteurs de mouvement préalablement générés et du filtrage spatial adaptatif au niveau des trames de changement de scène. Différents types de bruits peuvent être introduits dans le système vidéo avant la compression et la transmission. Des artefacts surviennent de l'enregistrement et de la manipulation de signaux, des communications aériennes ou terrestres, ou se produisent au cours du décodage. Le bruit introduit avant la compression d'image gène la performance et, par conséquent, ralentit la performance du système. Non seulement le filtrage réduit généralement le bruit dans une image vidéo, mais aussi il peut réduire la définition des contours entraînant la perte du foyer. Le filtrage peut également évaluer le débit du système puisqu'une augmentation de la complexité computationnelle provient souvent des mécanismes de filtrage. Par ailleurs, le mouvement des objets à l'intérieur des trames, tels que définis par des groupes de pixels, complique le processus de réduction de bruit en raison d'une complexité accrue. En plus des améliorations apportées au filtrage spatial FIR, l'invention porte aussi sur des techniques antérieures de filtrage au moyen du filtrage temporel par réponse infinie à impulsion (IIR) afin de réduire le bruit tout en conservant la définition des contours. Le procédé selon l'invention est également fondé sur des vecteurs de mouvement préalablement calculés par le codage d'image de premier passage ou, selon une variante, par transcodage afin de réduire la complexité computationnelle du prétraitement des images de trame P et de trame B. L'invention se rapporte aussi au filtrage de bruit temporel de trame P en une seule étape et au filtrage de bruit temporel de trame B en deux étapes.

Abstract: A microdeposition system microdeposit droplets of fluid material to define a feature pattern on a substrate. The feature pattern for the substrate is defined. A mask is created for the feature pattern that reduces a density of defects that occur due to a malfunctioning nozzle of the microdeposition head. The droplets of fluid material are microdeposited onto the substrate based on the mask to define sub­features of the feature pattern. One of the nozzles of the microdeposition head is assigned to each of the sub-features in the feature pattern. The nozzles may be assigned randomly or using other functions. The assigned nozzles in the mask are assigned to one of a plurality of passes of the microdeposition head.

Abstract: A method of forming a via hole through a glass wafer includes depositing a
material layer (110) on an outer surface of the glass wafer, the material layer
having a selection ratio higher than that of the glass wafer (200), forming a via-patterned
portion on one side of the material layer, performing a first etching in
which the via-patterned portion is etched to form a preliminary via hole (130),
eliminating any remaining patterning material (120) used in the formation of the
via-patterned portion, performing a second etching in which the preliminary via
hole (130) is etched to form a via hole (130') having a smooth surface and
extending through the glass wafer, and eliminating the material layer (110). The
method according to the present invention is able to form a via hole through a
glass wafer without allowing formation of an undercut or minute cracks, thereby
increasing the yield and reliability of MEMS elements.
