Abstract: L'invention concerne, dans une installation de visioconférence, un dispositif de suppression d'écho comprenant un filtre adaptatif (38) à réponse impulsionnelle finie, qui échantillonne le signal d'entrée émis vers un haut-parleur (30) et qui établit, sur la base de ce signal, un modèle de signal retour émis vers un microphone (32). Le dispositif de suppression d'écho comprend en outre un multiplexeur (36), qui sert à soustraire le signal retour modélisé du signal de sortie du microphone afin de fournir un signal de sortie microphone corrigé, et un microprocesseur (40) programmé pour lire le signal de sortie microphone corrigé et le signal de sortie microphone non corrigé et pour calculer des mises à jour des pondérations du filtre (38), le calcul consistant en multiplication par un facteur d'échelle variable, qui varie selon le rapport entre une première valeur indiquant la puissance moyenne à long terme du son retour et une seconde valeur indiquant la puissance moyenne à court terme du son retour. Ainsi, on obtient une diminution des fluctuations indésirables qui surviennent dans le signal de sortie modélisé et qui causent des échos sonores non voulus sur l'autre site de visioconférence.

Abstract: Audio information is spoken into a microphone and saved in digitized form in an electronic file (40). The digitized information is converted into a format which is usable within a particular MRI system (42). Thereafter, an electronically store pulse sequence, useable within the selected MRI system, is selected (46) and edited (48) to incorporate the converted digitized verbal information (50) and appropriate header information (44). When the edited pulse sequence is operated by the MRI system, audio information is projected which can be heard by the human ear using the elements of an existing MRI system.

Abstract: Techniques for fabrication of small-scale metallic structures such as microinductors, microtransformers and stents are described. A chemically active agent such as a catalyst is applied from an applicator in a pattern to an exterior surface of an article, metal is deposited according to the pattern and optionally, removed from the substrate. Where the substrate is cylindrical, the pattern can serve as a stent. Alternatively, a pattern of a self-assembled monolayer can be printed on a surface, which pattern can dictate metal plating or etching resulting in a patterned metal structure that can be cylindrical. In another embodiment, a structure is patterned on a surface that serves as a phase-modulating pattern or amplitude-modulating pattern. The article subsequently is exposed to radiation that can induce a change in refractive index within the article, and the phase-modulating or amplitude-modulating pattern results in different indices of refraction being created in different portions of the article. By this technique, a grating can be written into a core of an optical fiber.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a transcription based amplification method for the amplification of DNA targets. With the method of the present invention an isothermal transcription based amplification method is provided for the amplification of double stranded DNA. The method of the present invention for the amplification of double stranded DNA comprises the steps of contacting said double stranded DNA with at least one oligonucleotide comprising a sequence complementary to a part of the first of the two DNA strands comprised in the double stranded DNA, said oligonucleotide further comprising the sequence of a promoter recognized by a RNA polymerase; a further olignucleotide comprising a sequence complementary to a part of the second strand comprised in the double stranded DNA; an enzyme having RNA dependent DNA polymerase activity; an enzyme having DNA dependent DNA polymerase activity; an enzyme having RNase H activity; an enzyme having RNA polymerase activity, and maintaining the thus created reaction mixture under the appropriate conditions for a sufficient amount of time for the amplification to take place. The method according to the invention is particularly useful for amplifying small DNA molecules, e.g. plasmid DNA. Surprisingly, transcription based amplification can start from double stranded DNA, without the need to treat the DNA with restriction enzymes or, what is more important, to separate the strands before hand by applying heat. All reagents conventionally used with isothermal transcription based amplification reactions can simply be used on starting material containing double stranded DNA, as if it where single stranded RNA. With the present invention it has now been found that essentially the same protocols can be used for isothermal transcription based amplification of double stranded DNA. The method is particularly useful for the detection of small DNA molecules of pathogenic microorganisms enabling diagnosis. In particular the circular HIV-1 DNA molecules that are formed during the replication of the HIV-1 virus can be detected by this method. Detection of such circular HIV-1 DNA molecules indicates active replication of the virus, which can be correlated with disease progression, i.e. development of AIDS.
