Abstract: An audio signal encoding apparatus is provided which is capable of preventing deterioration in the objective characteristics of a signal to be encoded without using parameters from a psychoacoustic model generated based on human auditory characteristics or by replacing such parameters with those by which the signal can be effectively quantized in cases where the width of a frequency band in which frequency component such as a sine wave of the signal concerned exists is narrow. The audio signal encoding apparatus includes a psychoacoustic model section 1, an MDCT processing section 2 and an iterative loop processing section 3. The psychoacoustic model section 1 includes an FFT operation section 11, a block type determination section 12 and an SMR operation section 13. The iterative loop processing section 3 includes an allowable error amount calculation section 31, a bit amount/error amount control section 32, a normalization processing section 33, a quantization section 34 and a Huffman encoding section 35. The apparatus further includes a multiplexer section 4 for multiplexing a processing block type from the block type determination section 12, a scale factor from the bit amount/error amount control section 32, a Huffman code book number and a Huffman code from the Huffman encoding section 35, a sine wave discrimination section 14a for discriminating whether or not the input signal is a sine wave, by using the FFT frequency spectrum calculated by the FFT operation section 11, and a switching element 15, 16 for switching between use and nonuse of an output value of the SMR operation section 13 based on the result of sine wave discrimination in the sine wave discrimination section 14a.

Abstract: Methods are provided for detecting methionine aminopeptidase (MAP) activity and for detecting inhibitors of MAP. The methods utilize a peptide comprising an N-terminal methionine which can be cleaved from the peptide by MAP, and a C-terminal detection moiety which is released by a second peptidase only if the N-terminal methionine has been cleaved from the peptide. When the peptide is combined with MAP and the second peptidase, the detection moiety is released, while the addition of a MAP inhibitor will inhibit the release of the detection moiety. Reaction mixes, peptides, and kits which are useful for practicing the methods are also provided.

Abstract: A universal inkjet cartridge body with multiple ink reservoirs that can be used for single color or multiple color applications. The ink flow routing is accomplished by merely changing the printhead-to-body sealing structure, which can be an adhesive pattern. This allows for all the reservoirs' inks to be mixed at the head for one cartridge configuration, or the respective inks can be directed to different parts of the printhead for a multiple color application. The same cartridge body structure can be used for two or more cartridge configurations. A nose piece structure defines multiple ink channels leading from the respective ink reservoirs to a printhead mounting region. The sealing structure is applied to mount the printhead to the nose piece and to complete the ink path routing from the reservoirs to the printhead nozzle array(s).

Said arrangement comprises a concave mirror (6, 16) aligned with a beam splitter, the splitting surface (3, 15) of which is divided into transmitting and reflecting surfaces. Light from the illumination source is incident on beam splitter, reflected from it back to the concave mirror and then focussed by the mirror onto the transmitting region so that light is incident on the sample.
