Abstract: A powdered agent to mask the taste of pharmaceutical compositions comprises a flavoring (I) and a potentiator (II) in the form of an intimate and essentially homogeneous mixture, the proportion of (I) and (II) in each particle of the mixture are constant. The flavoring (I) is preferably a sweetener, such as sodium or calcium saccharinates, saccharin, aspartyl-phenylalanine, acesulfame, cyclamates, and stevioside. The poteniators (II) increase the perception of the taste of (I) and mask its off flavors; typically these are thaumatine, neohesperidine dihydrochalcone (NHDC), glycyrrhyzine, and their mixtures. The mixtures are prepared by dissolving (I) and (II) and spray drying this to form a homogeneous powder. The particle size of the final product is preferably 10 - 100 mu m, with a Gaussian distribution. The weight ratio of (I) : (II) is preferably in the range 97:3 - 90:10

Abstract: Methods and devices for detecting a watermark in a watermarked video stream, the watermark having been scaled by an unknown scale among a predetermined finite number of scales and shifted by an unknown number of pixels. For each of the predetermined number of scales, the video stream is divided into a plurality of equally sized scaled watermark blocks; and the plurality of scaled watermark blocks are read into a plurality of read blocks. Each of the read blocks are accumulated into one of a predetermined number of read block bins. The accumulated read blocks are then re-scaled and combined into a single video accumulated block. A predetermined quantity, such as the power of a DCT, is then evaluated within the video accumulated block. This evaluation yields information relative to presence of the watermark in the video stream, the scale applied to the watermarked video and the shift of the watermark, if any, within the watermark blocks. A fractional remainder operation is used to determine the number of read block bins for each scale under consideration as well as to determine the bin into which each read block is to be accumulated.

Abstract: The invention relates to the problem of the driving of the LCD electrooptic-switching element ( 1 ) with alternating, square-wave electric signals, the amplitude of witch can vary between different voltage levels in correspondence with the actual functioning state of the LCD electrooptic-switching element. The polarity changes of the electric driving signals is controlled by the integrator ( 9 ), integrating the difference of the electric potentials on the driving electrodes ( 2, 3 ) of the LCD electrooptic-switching element, in such a way that the value of time integral of the driving electric field is always kept within a selected interval. Besides this the time dependence of the electric driving signals can be optionally modified so that with every change of the polarity of the electric driving signals, the potentials on both driving electrodes get the same value for a time, which is significantly shorter than the switching time of the LCD electrooptic switching element.

Abstract: A system and method for providing critical end user feedback as to the color correction status of imagery shown on a client display, thus notifying the user that the color image being viewed is color accurate. In particular, the invention includes server and or client based applets which automatically informs viewers and/or other receivers of digital images as to the state of color correction for a particular digital image, thus notifying a viewer of the visual integrity of the digital image being displayed. The notification may be an icon that provides users with a visible indication about the integrity of color imagery currently being viewed by the client at a specific web site. It does this by briefly flashing the cursor for a fraction of a second to indicate if whether or not the page is being viewed utilizing calibrated color. This icon can be implemented in addition, or instead, in the OS, in a web-enabled application, or in a browser (when implemented on as a client-side application); or it can be implemented as an image, tag, program, or watermark embedded within a web page by the web server or by any of the links between server and client within the network infrastructure.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composite material and a process for making the material. The composite material may be breathable and is formed from at least one layer of an elastic material and a necked laminate of sheet layers. The sheet layers include at least one non-elastic neckable material laminated to at least one non-elastic film defining a longitudinal and transverse dimension wherein the laminate is extensible and retractable in at least one dimension without significantly reducing the breathability and/or liquid barrier properties of the film layer. This laminate extensibility and retractability is the result of striated rugosities in, for instance, the longitudinal dimension of the film layer which enables the necked laminate to have an amount of extensibility and retractability in the transverse dimension. A breathable laminate may be made by first partially stretching a filled non-elastic film layer, attaching a non-elastic neckable layer to form a laminate and then stretching the laminate to neck the laminate and lengthen the film to its desired fully stretched configuration. Attachment of at least one layer of an elastic material to the necked laminate further provides stretch and recovery in at least one dimension.
