Patent EP-1415479-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DUFOUR CECILE
IPC: H04N7/50
Filed: 2002-07-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a video coding method applied to an input signal IS consisting of a sequence of frames represented by one luminance matrix and two chrominance matrices. This method generates a coded bitstream CB in which each data item is described by means of a bitstream syntax allowing any decoder to recognize and decode all the segments of the content of said bitstream. According to the invention, which finds an application for instance within the video compression standards of the MPEG and ITU-H.26X families, the syntax comprises a flag provided for indicating at a high level description the presence, or not, of chrominance components in said coded bitstream, and therefore allowing to deliver, at the decoding side, the information according to which chrominance descriptive elements have to be decoded, or not.

Abstract: The invention concerns the determination of a mobile object orientation using GPS signals. According to the invention, a receiver is provided (16) comprising a single channel assembly for digital processing of signals derived from several antennae (10, 12), said signals reaching the receiver through a single connection (17) which also serves to power antenna preamplifiers and to multiplex at least two antennae. The digital processing channels of the satellite signals use the signals of the antennae to provide phase-locking of a local pseudo-random code, but use only the signals derived from one main antenna (10) to provide phase-locking of a local carrier phase. The phase-shift of the signals between the antennae, which serves to determine the orientation of vectors linking the antennae knowing their relative positions, is calculated from the correlation digital values which conventionally serve in any GPS receiver to establish phase and carrier lock loop signals. The invention is in particular useful for determining a ship's heading. The invention is useful for any type of carrier: pedestrian, land vehicle, ship or aeroplane.

Abstract: An optical device to be used for a photolithography
apparatus comprises a lens which is formed of a fluoride
crystal material, a holder which holds the lens, and a
pressing member which is attached to the holder and which
presses the lens in order to generate a stress in the lens.

in a specified orientation with the pressing member to reduce
the birefringence of the lens. When the lens is composed of
a calcium fluoride crystal, then the maximum value of the
birefringence amount with respect to a light beam having a
wavelength of about 157 nm can be made not more than 2.0
nm/cm within an effective aperture (light-transmitting area)
of the lens, or the maximum value of the birefringence amount
with respect to a light beam having a wavelength of about 193
nm can be made not more than 1.0 nm/cm within the effective

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à des agents thérapeutiques qui modulent l'activité de PTH et de PTHrP. Conformément à l'invention, les modulateurs de PTH et de PTHrP contiennent : (a) un domaine modulateur de PTH/PTHrP ; et (b) un véhicule, tel qu'un polymère (par ex., PEG ou dextrane) ou de préférence un domaine Fc ; le véhicule étant lié par covalence au terminus C du domaine modulateur de PTH/PTHrP ou par l'intermédiaire d'une chaîne latérale au niveau d'un résidu quelconque du résidu 14 au résidu C-terminal. Le véhicule et le domaine modulateur de PTH/PTHrP peuvent être liés par l'intermédiaire du terminus N ou C du domaine modulateur de PTH/PTHrP, comme le précise le descriptif de l'invention. Le véhicule préféré est PEG. Les domaines modulateurs de PTH/PTHrP préférés contiennent les séquences d'acides aminés dérivées de PTH et de PTHrP définies dans le descriptif de l'invention. D'autres domaines modulateurs de PTH/PTHrP peuvent être générés par expression phagique, par criblage d'ARN-peptide et par les autres techniques mentionnées dans le descriptif. De tels peptides sont en général des modulateurs de l'activité tant PTH que PTHrP, même si lesdites techniques peuvent servir à générer des séquences peptidiques qui jouent le rôle de modulateurs sélectifs (par ex., d'agonistes de l'activité PTH mais non de l'activité PTHrP).
