grating depth is d, a grating period is p and grating
width is w. 
     And the grating period p satisfies the following
condition:
 λ0/(n•sin  + n') < p ≤ 2•λ0/(n•sin  + n') 
   where a design wavelength is λ0, an incident angle

Abstract: An image-generating system for generating data of an image
on the basis of data of a photographic image obtained by capturing
an image of an object. The image-generating system includes
a color sample (30) to be arranged in the proximity of an object (100),
an illumination unit (2), an image pick-up unit (1), a color sample
specifying unit and an image processing unit (10). The illumination
unit can illuminate the object and the color sample with light
lower in light quantity than ordinary light. The image pick-up
unit obtains a photographic image by capturing an image of the
object together with the color sample illuminated by the
illumination unit. The color sample specifying unit specifies
the color sample in the photographic image. The image processing
unit converts colors of the object in the photographic image,
taking the color sample specified by the color sample specifying
unit as a reference.

Title: Reseau d'antenne a reception adaptative et a transmission omnidirectionnelle
Inventor: PROCTOR JAMES A JR
IPC: H04M1/00
Filed: 2003-03-10
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une antenne adaptative utilisée en mode de réception uniquement avec une antenne de transmission séparée telle qu'un dispositif sans fil tenant dans la main. L'antenne de transmission peut être intégrée au réseau de réception, grâce à un réseau de transmission polarisé horizontalement et à un réseau récepteur polarisé verticalement. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, l'antenne de transmission peut être physiquement séparée et non intégrée au réseau récepteur. Dans les deux cas, on prévoit un port de signaux de réception et de transmission séparé comme interface pour l'équipement radio-émetteur/récepteur. L'utilisation d'une antenne adaptative dans la direction de réception uniquement permet d'augmenter la capacité de la liaison aller jusqu'à des niveaux égaux ou supérieurs à la capacité de la liaison retour. On obtient ainsi une augmentation considérable du nombre total d'utilisateurs vocaux qui peuvent être actifs en même temps dans un système de télécommunication sans fil traditionnel, sans affecter directement la capacité de liaison retour.

Abstract: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal autosomal recessive disease in the U.S. and is principally caused by the DF508 mutation in the CFTR gene. The principal site of morbidity and mortality for this disease is the lung. We have used genomic and proteomic methods to identify ubiquitin carboxy terminal hydrolase-1 (UCHL1) as a biomarker for cystic fibrosis. Both gene expression and cognate protein expression are massively upregulated in CF lung epithelial cells. We suggest that this gene can be useful in the assembly of a diagnostic or prognostic chip for CF, or as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract: Methods for preparative in vitro biocatalysis utilizing oxidoreductases. These methods are based on novel approaches to supply the oxidoreductases with reduction equivalents derived either from chemical or electrochemical sources. By utilization of organometallic mediators, the oxidoreductases are regenerated directly in the absence of nicotinamide coenzymes and biocatalysts generally used to transfer the reduction equivalents to the active site. These methods also include novel reactor design for continuous electrochemical regeneration of these enzymes.

Abstract: The linearity of a wideband RF power transistor amplifier is improved by including output matching circuit and an integrated bias/RF diplexer with RF and video bypassing capacitor network within the transistor package and connected directly to the transistor. By placing the RF and video bypass power supply circuitry within the package and close to the transistor, the input impedance resonance can be increased from approximately 50 MHz to over 125 MHz, thereby reducing AM/PM distortion in the output signal.

Abstract: Various processes are disclosed for preparing procyanidin oligomers having (4,8)interflavan linkages. In an improved process, a tetra-O-protected-epicatechin or -catechin monomer or oligomer is coupled with a protected, C-4 alkoxy-activated-epicatechin or -catechin monomer in the presence of an acidic clay instead of a Lewis acid. In a second process, a 5,7,3',4'-tetra-O-protected or preferably penta-O-protected-epicatechin or -catechin monomer or oligomer is reacted with a tetra-O-protected or preferably penta-O-protected-epicatechin or -catechin monomer having a thio activating group at the C-4 position; the coupling is carried out in the presence of silver tetrafluoroborate. In third process, two molecules of a penta-O-protected-epicatechin or -catechin monomer activated with a 2(benzothiazolyl)thio group at the C-4 position are self-condensed in the presence of silver tetrafluoroborate. An improved two-step process for preparing a C-4 alkoxy activated tetra-O-benzyl-protected, 8-bromo-blocked-epicatechin or -catechin monomer is also provided. The use of naturally-derived and synthetically-prepared procyanidin (4β,8)4-pentamers to treat cancer is also disclosed.

Abstract: Selon un aspect de l'invention, des modes de réalisation peuvent être superposés sur la structure de réseau existante comprenant un certain nombre de noeuds interconnectés par le réseau de communication sous-jacent. Dans un mode de réalisation, un noeud de contrôle d'accès est interposé entre chaque noeud et le reste du réseau. Le noeud de contrôle d'accès est conçu pour transmettre des informations sur le noeud et sur l'utilisateur qui tente d'accéder au noeud à un serveur servant à conserver des informations de sécurité et de vérification. Ces informations peuvent prendre la forme de données d'identification de noeud (identifiant ainsi le noeud) et de données d'identification d'utilisateur (afin de s'assurer que l'utilisateur est associé à un compte actif et que l'utilisateur a entré le mot de passe correct qui authentifie donc l'utilisateur). Si le noeud n'est pas reconnu par le serveur, alors aucun accès aux informations protégées (par exemple PHI) n'est autorisé. Cependant, si le noeud est reconnu, l'accès au PHI exige alors que l'utilisateur soit aussi authentifié. Si les deux conditions sont remplies, certains aspects de l'invention permettront de déterminer (en fonction d'un référentiel d'informations sur les utilisateurs) les données auxquelles chaque utilisateur peut accéder ainsi que la fonctionnalité du noeud qui doit être rendu disponible à l'utilisateur. Des aspects de l'invention peuvent poser des limites sur la fonctionnalité du noeud auquel l'utilisateur devrait avoir accès. Concrètement, même si un utilisateur peut être tenté d'accéder à des données depuis un noeud qui possède un ensemble de fonctions ( par exemple imprimer, stocker des données, sur un support amovible, afficher des signaux vidéo, etc.), des aspects de l'invention permettent seulement à un sous-ensemble de ces fonctions d'être disponible sen fonctions des droits qui ont été octroyés à un utilisateur.

Abstract: There is provided a vacuum control system for allowing
the degree of vacuum in a vacuum vessel to be kept constant,
effectively and accurately removing vaporized components
degassed into the vacuum vessel through a gas permeation
diaphragm by stably introducing a very small amount of air
into a vacuum exhaust path, and thus operating stably, and a
vacuum degassing apparatus employing the vacuum control
system. The vacuum control system controls the rotatory
power of a DC brushless motor 3, continuously controls
displacement of a vacuum pump 1, and thus keeps the degree of
vacuum in a vacuum vessel constant, by decompressing the
inside of the vacuum vessel 1 using an exhaust vacuum pump 2
which operates with the DC brushless motor 3, monitoring the
inside pressure of the vacuum vessel using a pressure sensor
5, and controlling a voltage applied to the DC brushless
motor on the basis of an output signal resulting from
measurement of the inside pressure of the vacuum vessel by
the pressure sensor.
