Patent EP-1293771-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SELBY BARTON G
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 1999-04-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to the electrophoretic separation of bio-organic
molecules using a slab gel electrophoresis apparatus having a pair of spaced, confronting
plates (14,16) defining a multi-lane separation zone (22) adapted to hold a separation medium (23) and an
upper loading zone. In one aspect of the invention, at least one of the plates is shaped to
provide an expanded loading zone (16a-d). The plate-to-plate distance within the expanded
loading zone is greater than the plate-to-plate width within the separation zone. In another
aspect of the invention, a comb (24) is provided with each tooth (28) having a gradual taper
beginning at a support member (32) and extending along most of the tooth's longitudinal axis,
and a sharp taper beginning immediately beyond the gradual taper and extending to the end
of the tooth. In a related aspect of the invention, a method is provided wherein a comb is
inserted into the loading zone so that the teeth penetrate an upper portion of the separation
medium, thereby forming a series of fluid-tight, elongate sample-loading apertures of
substantially rectangular cross-section having a plate-to-plate width greater than that of the
inter-plate distance in the separation zone.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for forming coated toner images on a
web are disclosed. The coating unit can be employed off-line or in-line with a digital
printing system. The coating is applied on already fused toner images and is subsequently
cured by means of UV radiation. The resulting coated fused toner images have a reduced
sensitivity towards mechanical interaction, e.g., rubbing, and towards water, solvents and
sunlight. In addition, they yield a smooth surface with an even tunable gloss, independent of
the amount of superimposed toner layers.

Abstract: A system and method facilitating progressively transforming and coding digital pictures is provided. The present invention  via  employment of a multi-resolution lapped transform provides for progressive rendering as well as mitigation of blocking artifacts and ringing artifacts as compared to many conventional compression systems. The invention includes a color space mapper, a multi-resolution lapped transform, a quantizer, a scanner and an entropy encoder. The multi-resolution lapped transform outputs transform coefficients, for example, first transform coefficients and second transform coefficients. A multi-resolution representation can be obtained utilizing second transform coefficients of the multi-resolution lapped transform. The color space mapper maps an input image to a color space representation of the input image. The color space representation of the input image is then provided to the multi-resolution lapped transform. The quantizer receives the first transform coefficients and/or the second transform coefficients and provides an output of quantized coefficients for use by the scanner and/or the entropy encoder. The scanner scans the quantized coefficients in order to produce a one-dimensional vector for use by the entropy encoder. The entropy encoder encodes the quantized coefficients received from the quantizer and/or the scanner resulting in data compression.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for measuring Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) of single-mode optical fiber. The method allows for a faster and easier method of accurately measuring intrinsic ultra low PMD optical fiber in a low mode coupling state. The method involves the introduction of a plurality of localized external perturbations on the optical fiber, after which the optical fiber is allowed to reach a steady state, and then measurement of the differential group delay occurs using standard measurement techniques. The plurality of localized external perturbations is altered followed by another measurement of the differential group delay. After obtaining a sufficient number of measurements to provide a Maxwellian distribution, the Polarization Mode Dispersion value can be calculated as the average of the distribution.

Abstract: A detecting data processing apparatus determines whether one or more code words of a predetermined set of code words are present in a suspected version of a material item. The apparatus comprises a registration processor operable to associate samples of the suspected version with samples of a copy of the original material item, a recovery processor and a detection processor. The recovery processor is operable to generate a recovered code word by comparing the registered copy of the original and the suspect material items. The detection processor is operable to detect one or more code words from a correlation between the recovered code word and the code words from the set. The registration processor is operable to form at least one reduced-bandwidth-version of the material item and to associate the suspected version and the copy of the material item in accordance with a comparison between the reduced-bandwidth-versions of the suspected version and the original material item. 
     The registration of the suspected version and the original version of the material item is typically required in order to improve a likelihood of correctly recovering a code word from the suspected version. For material items such as video recordings of motion picture films, a substantial number of samples may need to be associated in order to effect the registration process. As a result, the registration process may be time consuming or at least computationally difficult. However, by forming reduced-bandwidth-versions of the suspected version and the original version of the material items, a corresponding reduction in the time taken to perform the registration process is provide in accordance with the bandwidth reduction.

Abstract: A printing machine has a computer program for aligning pages in a book and printing the book. A user scans pages of a book into a controller or computer where the pages are converted into a file that is independent of the platform that created the documents such as portable document formatted (PDF) pages. Each PDF page comprises content areas of text or graphics or both and non-content areas surrounding the content areas. The program does not remove the non-content area for any placement purposes and temporarily crops the page to determine the size (and position) of the content area. During automatic alignment, the program operates on the files to temporarily crop or remove peripheral, non-content areas and generate cropped PDF pages of the content areas on the pages of the book. The cropped PDF files include one image although it may encompass text and graphics. The program may operate in automatic or manual mode.

Abstract: A flow restriction (4) and pressure sensor (5) with memory function are located ahead of each connector (6). The flow restriction reduces the supply pressure of the fluid, resulting in a low value at the pressure sensor. When the tubing is connected, any large rise in pressure due to a partial or complete blockage, will be registered by the pressure sensor, the reading being stored or retained, as an indication of incorrect washing and sterilization. A simple weighted piston, with a one-way arrangement, may be used to indicate any tubing causing high pressure. The top of the piston remains sticking up in this case.
