Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a phase correction circuit for correcting a phase difference of desired signal component contained in an input signal and then extracting desired signal component. 
     Desired signal components (S1, S2) contained in an input signal (Sin) are extracted by virtue of filters (BPF1, BP2) having characteristics of several stages, and the phases of the signal components (S1, S2) are then shifted by π/2 or -π/2 in a phase-shifting unit (3), thereby generating phase-shifted signals (P1, P2). A phase difference detection unit (4) detects phase differences (phase deviations) α of the signal components (S1, S2) occurred when passing through the filters (BPF1, BP2), in accordance with the signal components (S1, S2) and the phase-shifted signals (P1, P2), thereby generating as phase difference detection signals (E1, E2) the signals of the orthogonal functions taking the phase differences α as parameters. A phase difference correction circuit (5) shifts the phases of the signal components (S1, S2) and the phase-shifted signals (P1, P2) in accordance with the phase difference detection signals (E1, E2), thereby generating the desired signal components having the phase differences (phase deviations) α corrected, and thus outputting the same as output signal (Sout).

Title: Plant for plasma treatment of endless materials
Inventor: ZIGER PETER
IPC: H01J37/32
Filed: 2006-09-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a plant for plasma treatment of an endless material (1) comprising at least one evacuateable discharge chamber (3a), through which the endless material may be continuously transported, a power supply device (30) providing electrical discharge energy to discharge paths (G) between an outer electrode (5, 51-57) for the respective discharge chamber and the endless material as inner electrode. The power supply device is an inherent power source for pulsed delivery of the discharge energy with at least one inductance (32) as energy store, which may be connected to a provided discharge path (G), or successively to several provided discharge paths. The above improves significantly the energy coupling and treatment uniformity or permits the same with contaminated and very hot endless materials. The serial installation of several discharge chambers without intermediate contacts for the endless material is also possible, whereupon sensitive physical plasma processes may be carried out. By application of a strong magnetic field (M) about the endless material (1) the energy coupling and treatment uniformity can be further increased.

Abstract: A system and method for determining an optimal position of an eye relative to an ophthalmic device are disclosed. One embodiment of the method includes receiving data comprising an image of a surface of an eye with the eye at a first position relative to an ophthalmic device. An edge feature in the image is located, and a sharpness calculation on the edge feature is performed using a predetermined algorithm to yield a sharpness value. The eye surface is then adjusted to a second position relative to the ophthalmic device, and the previous steps are repeated until the sharpness value is maximized, which is an indication that an optimal eye position has been achieved. An embodiment of the system includes a processor and a software package executable by the processor, the software package adapted to perform the calculations as above.

Abstract: L'identification de molécules cibles spécifiques est cruciale pour la mise au point de méthodes de ciblage anti-angiogénique et vasculaire. Les profils transcriptionnels de cellules endothéliales tumorales ont été comparés à ceux de cellules endothéliales repos normales, de cellules endothéliales placentaires normales mais à activation angiogénique et de cellules endothéliales cultivées. Bien que la majorité des transcripts aient été classés comme marqueurs d'angiogenèse généraux, 17 gènes ont été identifiés qui présentent une surexpression spécifiques dans l'endothélium tumoral. Le ciblage d'anticorps sur quatre produits exprimés ou sécrétés en surface (vimentine, CD59, HMGB1 et IGFBP7) inhibe l'angiogenèse in vitro et in vivo. Finalement, le ciblage de la vimentine endothéliale dans un modèle tumoral murin inhibe sensiblement la croissance tumorale et réduit la densité microvasculaire. Les résultats montrent l'utilité de l'identification et le ciblage consécutif des marqueurs endothéliaux tumoraux spécifiques pour une thérapie anticancéreuse.
