Abstract: In the case where four colors CMYK are used, it is an object of this invention to restrain the size of moir  and to prevent halftone spots of the respective colors from overlapping one another at regular intervals. Accordingly, storing means stores, as conversion tables to determine a correspondence relationship between image reproduction data, including development area information, and tone data: at least two conversion tables A and B where the correspondence relationship is determined in such a manner that halftone spots are formed in lines and screen angles are perpendicular to each other; and at least one conversion table C where the correspondence relationship is determined in such a manner that angle differences between a screen angle determined by the conversion table C and the screen angles determined by the two conversion tables A and B become irrational tangent angles. For each of the plural colors, the image reproduction data at each dot is found from the tone data at each dot by referring to one of the conversion tables, and a development area at the relevant dot is then determined on the basis of the development area information included in the image reproduction data, thereby reproducing images.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: A computer-readable system and method for interpreting and selectively forwarding an interpreted message derived from a user's received electronic message, such as an e-mail, fax, converted voice and pager messages, to a mobile communications device of the user. A structured knowledge base comprises knowledge objects of user-related information and the knowledge objects are interlinked by semantic links to permit dynamic navigation thereof. Navigating means dynamically navigates through the structured knowledge base using the content of the received message and determines key term(s) relating to the content as a result of the navigating. An interpreted message is determined from those key term(s). Prioritizing means determines the priority of the message, selects the second communications device based on the current context of the user and the content of the message in relation to the user-related information and assigns priority indicia to the interpreted message according thereto. Forwarding means forwards the interpreted message to the second communications device when the priority indicia assigned to the interpreted message represents that the interpreted message is to be so forwarded.

Abstract: A system to provide narrowcast communications uses adaptive data rate control to individual subscribers such that the effects of precipitation or other link conditions, which are not common to all subscribers, is mitigated. The invention takes advantage of the fact that the narrowcast data consist of packets which are individually addressed to specific subscribers, or groups of subscribers. The narrowcast data is communicated on a plurality of channels, each of potentially differing data rates. The subscribers are assigned a particular channel, based upon their link quality, to receive packets addressed to them. The lower data rate channel will be less affected by adverse link conditions and are hence assigned to subscribers most likely to incur adverse link conditions.

Abstract: A recombinant protein having luciferase activity and at least 60 % similarity to a wild-type luciferase wherein in the sequence of the enzyme, the amino acid residue corresponding to residue 357 in <i>Photinus pyralis</i> luciferase is mutated as compared to the corresponding wild-type luciferase, such that the luciferase enzyme is able to emit light at a different wavelength as compared to the corresponding wild-type luciferase and/or has enhanced thermostability as compared to the corresponding wild-type luciferase. In general, the residue corresponding to 357 in Photinus pyralis luciferase is changed from an acidic amino acid to a non-acidic amino acid and preferably an uncharged polar amino acid such as tyrosine. Mutant luciferases in accordance with the invention can produce a large (50nm) wavelength shift in emitted light and have good thermostability. The resultant colour shift can be reversed by addition of coenzyme A. These properties make the mutant particularly useful in a variety of assays.

Abstract: A semi conductor device is disclosed that eliminates at least one of the channel/dielectric interfaces along the side walls of an SOI/SOS transistor channel, but does not require the use of a dedicated body tie contact. Because a dedicated body contact is not required, the packing density of the device may be significantly improved over conventional T-gate and H-gate configurations. The present invention may also reduce the overall gate area, which may increase both the speed and overall yield of the device.

Abstract: To form a multi-layer fiber web (34), especially of paper or cardboard, at least one of the two outer layers (34',34) is from a fiber material with at least one additive at the fiber surfaces. For a multi-layer paper/cardboard web, the additive is deposited on the surfaces of hollow fibers and, in addition, within the hollow fibers and at their walls. The additive includes a filling material, and the outer layers of the web have a higher filling material content than a center layer. Calcium carbonate is used as the additive or filling material at the wet fibers, or is used as a precipitate. To apply the calcium carbonate to wet fibers, a medium with calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide is used so that at least a portion associates with the water at the fibers. The treated fibers are exposed to carbon dioxide to give a chemical reaction with the calcium carbonate at the fiber surfaces. The calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide is used at a rate of 0.1-50.0 wt.% of the fiber dry weight. The fibers are treated with carbon dioxide in a closed vessel, as a gas under pressure, during a mixing phase where a high shear effect is applied to the fibers using an energy of at least 10-50 W/hr/kg based on the dry weight. The fiber material is derived in a pulper from cellulose or used paper materials, or it is a never-dried pulp. An Independent claim is included for a papermaking/cardboard production machine, to produce a multi-layer web, with stock inlet channels (36,40) charged with fiber materials where an additive is deposited on the fiber surfaces at least partially. Preferred Features: The multi-layer stock inlet assembly (28) is structured to form a web with two outer layers or a sandwich with an intermediate layer, where the pulp for the outer layers has fibers with an additive on their surfaces.
