Patent HK-1110708-A1 (HK)
Title: Lossless encoding of information with guaranteed maximum bitrate
Inventor: SPERSCHNEIDER RALPH
IPC: H03M/
Filed: 2008-05-05
Abstract: A compact encoded representation of information values not exceeding a predefined size can be derived when a first encoding rule generating an encoded representation of the information values of variable length is compared to a second encoding rule generating an encoded representation of the information values of fixed length and when the encoding rule resulting in the encoded representation requiring the lower number of information units is chosen. Thus, the maximum bit rate can be guaranteed to be at least the maximum bit rate of the second encoding rule deriving the second encoded representation. Signaling the choice of the encoding rule by some rule information together with the encoded representation of the information values, the correct information values can later on be derived on a decoder side, using a decoding rule fitting the encoding rule used during the encoding.

Abstract: The invention provides carbazole compounds, and prodrugs therefor, comprising a heterogroup coupled to an aryl group, wherein the heterogroup is selected from the group consisting of SO 2 , S=O, C=O, NH, and PO 3 . The aryl group may be substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of OH, NH 2 , NR 1 R 2 , NHR 1 , OCH 3 , OCHR 1 R 2 , OCH 2 R 1 , OCR 1 R 2 R 3 , C=O, or S=O, wherein R 1 , R 2 , and R 3  are alkyl groups, optionally wherein the heterogroup coupled to the aryl group is a dansyl group, and optionally wherein the heterogroup coupled to the aryl group is a fluorescent group.  The compounds are useful for the treatment of cancers, especially those with decreased Ras-association domain family 1A (RASSF1A) expression, including prostate cancer. The compounds may reduce DNA methyltransferase activity and/or increase RASSF1A expression.  Retention of the compound in a cell is diagnostic for decreased RASSF1A expression, and hence potentially for a cancer cell.
