Abstract: A color display device has a single light guiding plate, and
first, second and third light sources that respectively
independently exhibit three primary colors. On a one end surface
of the light guiding plate there are disposed the first and second
light sources that exhibit two different ones of the three primary
colors. On the other end surface side of the light guiding plate
there is disposed the third light source that exhibits the
remaining one primary color. Since the light guiding means is
needed only one in number, the structure can be simplified and
miniaturized. Also, on the one end surface of the light guiding
means there are disposed, of the three light sources exhibiting
the three primary colors, the first and second light sources that
exhibit two different ones of the three primary colors. And, on
the other end surface side of the light guiding means there is
disposed the third light source that exhibits the remaining one
primary color. Therefore, the probability that the light which
enters into the light guiding means from one light source is
hindered by another light source decreases. Accordingly, the
loss of the light becomes lessened and the amount of light emission
increases.

Abstract: An optical apparatus that can be used to monitor
and/or test targeted optical fibers. The apparatus is
contained within a housing that is sized to fit within a
shelf of the frame of a fiber administration system.
Within the housing is a stationary plate having a face
surface. Incoming optical fibers connect to connectors in
an array on the side of the housing. The connector array
interconnects the incoming optical fibers to a plurality
of optical leads in the housing. The optical leads in the
housing are optically coupled to target points on the face
surface of the stationary plate. A motor is positioned
across from the stationary plate. The motor selectively
turns an armature that is attached to the shaft of the
motor. A light receiving element is disposed on the
armature, wherein the light receiving element optically
aligns with each of the target points on the face surface
of the stationary plate when moved by the motor. An
electro-optical converter is optically coupled to the
light receiving element on the armature. As the armature
aligns the light receiving elements with the various
target points on the face of the stationary plate, signals
from the incoming optical fibers are optically connected
to the electro-optical converter.

Abstract: The use of des-Aspartate-angiotensin I (Arg-Val-Tyr-IIe-His-Pro-Phe-His-Leu)
as an anti-neointima and anti-arteriosclerotic agent. The compound, given
intravenously attenuates the development of neointima formation in balloon
catheter-injured carotid arteries of Sprague Dawley rats. The anti-neointima
action was dose-dependent and the maximum effect was obtained with a dose
of 10 pmoles/day given 2 days pre- and 13 days post-balloon catheterization.
When given orally on a chronic basis at a dose of 0.9 mg/kg/day for 47 weeks,
the compound significantly attenuates the development of arteriosclerosis in the
spontaneously hypertensive rats. The anti-arteriosclerotic action was not blood
pressure dependent.

Abstract: A variable length decoder (VLD) (104) for decoding MPEG-1 and -2 syntax compliant video bit streams. The VLD (104) includes a micro-sequencer (134) and VLD command decode/execution unit (136) for controlling the MPEG decoding process using a novel instruction set (214a, 214g). The instruction set (214a-214g) includes a set of commands for decoding the video data and a set of flow control instructions. A rotator/barrel shifter (158) is provided for making a predetermined number of encoded bits from the video bit stream available to the VLD (104) and a variable length table decoder (186) for variable length decoding using the MPEG standard variable length code (VLC) tables. The variable length table decoder (186) shares a prefix pattern matching scheme across all of the VLC tables and organizes the variable length codes into a series of subtables. Each subtable corresponds to one of the unique prefix patterns. Variable length codes are decoded by identifying a leading pattern in the video data bit stream and, in parallel, accessing the subtable corresponding to that leading pattern. Run-length and amplitude level DCT coefficient symbols are stored in compressed form, and decoded as needed by an inverse transform unit (208). Motion vectors are also stored until needed by a motion compensation unit (212).
