Title: Lipase-surface complex and methods of formation and use
IPC: D06M16/00
Filed: 1991-09-11
Abstract: Methods for treating surfaces with lipase to provide an enzyme-surface complex and surfaces so treated facilitate oil removal. One such treated surface is a fabric with lipase sorbed onto the surface. A preferred sorbed lipase is isolatable from a Pseudomonas organism or clone. Treated fabrics have substantial hydrolysis activity for oil stains and perhydrolytic activity for oil stains, have altered surface wettability, and retard oil and hydrolysis by-produce redisposition in the presence of aqueous solutions. The sorbed lipase is resistant to removal during fabric laundering and retains substantial hydrolytic activity even with exposure to drying at elevated temperature. The hydrolytic activity of the lipase-fabric complex persists during storage or wear. Hydrolysis by-products are removable during laundering at basic pH or in the presence of surfactant.

Title: Resume processing function for the os/2 operating system
Inventor: MEILAK JOSEPH A
IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 1992-05-29
Abstract: A resume processing drive (202) for an advanced operating system, such as OS/2, is provided which saves data indicative of the operation conditions of the advanced operating system into system memory and then calls a previously existing resume processing routine (203) designed for a previously existing operating system, such as MS-DOS. The previously existing resume processing routine (204) performs additional processing in order to save operating condition data associated with the previously existing operating system into system memory, and then performs a controlled power off sequence and removes the power supplied to all elements of the computer except the computer memory. Thereafter, the existing resume processing routine (205) performs processing to restore the operating condition data associated with the previously existing operating system from system memory and then passes control to the resume processing driver of the present invention. The resume processing driver (206) restores the data indicative of the operating conditions of the advanced operating system from system memory, and control then passes to the computer program (207) which was executing before the resume processing driver was initiated. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0547697-A3 (EP)
Inventor: STEKELENBURG MICHAEL A W
IPC: H04N5/343
Filed: 1992-12-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a charge-coupled imaging device whose 
width/height ratio is adjustable in that a number of columns situated in two strips on 
either side of the sensor are not used. The charge generated in these columns is placed 
in the horizontal output register simultaneously with the active information which is to 
be used, and is drained off in the flyback time between consecutive active line times 
through the or an output of the output register. Since the said non-active strips are 
situated on either side of the sensor, the location of the centre of the active portion of 
the matrix is fixed, independent of whether the information from the said strips is or is 
not used, so that in every state of the sensor this centre coincides with the optical centre 
of the optical system used.
Patent EP-0633668-A3 (EP)
Title: Data compression apparatus.
Inventor: HASSNER MARTIN AURELIANO
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 1994-06-27
Abstract: An apparatus and method for executing a sequential data compression algorithm that is especially suitable for use where data compression is required in a device (as distinguished from host) controller. A history buffer 22 comprises an array of i identical horizontal slice units. Each slice unit stores j symbols to define j separate blocks in which the symbols in each slice unit are separated by exactly i symbols. Symbols in a string of i incoming symbols are compared by i comparators in parallel with symbols previously stored in the slice units to identify matching sequences of symbols. A control unit controls execution of the sequential algorithm to condition the comparators to scan symbols in parallel but in each of the blocks sequentially and cause matching sequences and nonmatching sequences of symbols to be stored in the array. The parameters i and j are selected to limit the number of comparators required to achieve a desired degree of efficiency in executing the algorithm based upon a trade-off of algorithm execution speed versus hardware cost. A priority encoder calculates from signals output by the slice units each j,i address in which a matching sequence is identified, but it outputs the address of only one (such as the smallest) of these addresses. <IMAGE>

Inventor: MALTZ MARTIN SIDNEY
IPC: H04N1/46
Filed: 1996-06-05
Abstract: A color imaging system has a color correction table (10) connected to a printer (12). A set of
refinement colors x i  are selected to determine the accuracy of the system. The number of
refinement colors selected is small in relation to the number of locations in the color correction table
(10), e.g., 1-50%. For each refinement color x, the printer (12) prints a color patch of corresponding
color. A measuring device (14) measures each color patch and determines a corresponding
colorimetric value x'. A refinement table (16) is generated which maps x' to x using an error
difference between x' and x. An interpolator (22) interpolates the known error values across the
refinement table based on a weighted sum of the known error values. The weighting is inversely
proportional to a Euclidean distance of each interpolated error value from the known error values.

Abstract: A receiver device includes a tuner; a controller for presetting any one of
broadcasting stations receivable by the tuner; memory that stores station names of the
broadcasting stations and their auxiliary data; a remote controller for transmitting a
record reservation code and inputs for selection; a read-out device for reading out the
auxiliary data corresponding to one of station names selected by the remote
controller; and a device for setting the auxiliary data read by the read-out device to
the broadcasting station preset by the controller. The remote controller further
includes a controller that receives inputs from a record reservation mode key and
numerical keys, then generates a remote control signal, and selectively generates a
record reservation mode ON code or a record reservation mode OFF code during its
control process. Thus, the remote controller changes the recorder device from a
record reservation ON mode to a record reservation OFF mode, or vice versa, in
response to the record reservation mode ON code and the record reservation mode
OFF code.
