The composite essentially contains a perforated and permeable carrier, on and in or on or in which another component that essentially contains metallic compounds with elements from group III to VI of the periodic system is stabilized. Stabilization of the component on or in the carrier is carried out by heating a suspension consisting of the component suspended in a metallic oxide sol that has been applied onto or into or onto and into the carrier.In this way, it is possible to produce a permeable composite that is ideally suited for use in filtration and membrane technologies under very mild conditions either by heating for a short time or warming for a longer time.
Patent GB-0025790-D0 (GB)
Title: Data processor and method of encoding data
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2000-10-20
Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for producing an encoded symbol stream to provide a compressed representation of an image frame. Each pixel is encoded by generating a predicted value p(x, y) of the actual pixel value c(x, y), based on stored previously reconstructed values, r, of other pixels in the frame. The predicted value may be calculated using DPCM. The predicted value is constrained to lie within a prediction range u to 1. A test range a to b encapsulates the predicted value but lies within the prediction range. The 'position' of the test range relative to the prediction range and the actual value is determined and used to (1) provide at least one encoded data symbol of the encoded symbol stream, and (2) refine both the reconstructed value r(x, y) associated with the pixel and the prediction range upper and lower limits, u and 1, for use in future iterations of the method. The reconstructed image improves with each iteration (compare Figures 8a and 8b). A corresponding decoding method is also disclosed. The invention may be implemented in a video recorder.

Title: Composition for promoting vascular smooth muscle relaxation
IPC: A61K31/21
Filed: 2004-08-09
Abstract: A composition for topical application to a part of the body comprises a vasodilator, for example glyceryl trinitrate, as active ingredient dissolved in a blend of volatile and non-volatile solvents of different solvating capacities for the vasodilator. The vasoldator is present in the composition at a concentration at or slightly below saturation, whereby evaporation of the volatile solvent in use will maintain the vasodilator at saturated or super-saturated concentrations in the residue, whereby the vasodilator will become saturated or supersaturated in the solvent remaining and, as the active ingredient passes through the skin and is absorbed in the bloodstream, and thus becomes depleted in the residual composition, continuing evaporation of volatile solvent will maintain the active ingredient substantially at saturation or supersaturation level in the residual composition throughout the major part of the absorption phase, thereby maximising absorption levels but at a moderate dosage level.

Title: Thermal transfer receiver
IPC: B41M5/382
Filed: 1990-05-14
Abstract: In a thermal transfer print, the ready diffusion of dyes through the receiver layer, which is necessary for effecting their thermal transfer from a dyesheet during printing, can also lead to subsequent diffusion within the print, with consequent degradation of print quality.

Title: Portable telephone set and communications system incorporating same
IPC: H04B1/40
Filed: 1999-04-08
Abstract: A portable telephone set controls the amplification factor of an amplifier to control the transmission power of the portable telephone set based on a control signal transmitted from the base station. If the control signal transmitted from the base station controls the transmission power so as to be equal to or smaller than a predetermined level, then a first switching means sets the amplifier to an ON-state. If the control signal transmitted from the base station controls the transmission power so as to be greater than the predetermined level, then the first switching means sets the amplifier to an OFF-state. While the amplifier is being set to the OFF-state by the first switching means, if the amplifier is set to the ON-state by a second switching means only when the user of the portable telephone set communicates via the portable telephone set, then the amplifier is in the ON-state only during the communication if the transmission power is controlled so as to exceed the predetermined level.
