Abstract: An easy to use on-line guide provides the user of a multiple channel
television broadcast system with a wealth of programming information in a
simple format that is easy to understand. The guide enables the user to easily
select a particular program to watch. In particular, when the guide is presented
to the user, the guide covers only a portion of the actual television screen or
display. The remaining portion of the television screen continues to broadcast
the audio and video of the currently selected program. As a user scans through
the guide and moves the pointer from one station to another, the system
responds by automatically tuning to the channel pointed to by the pointer and
provides the audio and displays the video in the portion of the screen not
covered by the guide. Furthermore, a written description of the program
currently broadcasted on a station that the cursor currently points to is also
shown. In addition, the system provides an innovative mechanism to enable the
user to scan program information of channels that the user has designated as his
favorite channels. In another embodiment, a program list that is oriented
according to the program, instead of the channel, is presented.
Patent EP-1257124-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KIM YONG-HO
IPC: G11B27/00
Filed: 2002-04-25
Abstract: A combination system has an input unit (117, 180) to input the set-up value, plural
set-up value storage units (115, 125) to store the input set-up value, and a controller
(114, 123) to control a set-up value storage operation with respect to the set-up
value storage units. A user inputs the set-up value as data about an operation mode
of each of the devices through the input unit. The controller judges whether the
set-up value input into one of the devices is the same type value as a pre-set up
value with regard to another device of the system. When the set-up value is
determined to be the same type value, then the controller sets up the pre-set up
value as a common set-up value with regard to the plural devices. Accordingly, the
user does not have to input the set-up value individually for each of the devices.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus that streamlines
the process of prescribing and acquiring medical imaging experiments and
data processing applications. The present application provides a modular
intuitive and guided workflow having a graphical user interface that may be
tailored and made singular and unique for each individual application. The
user interface implements a guided management tool that incorporates the
general principle that user activity is more efficient when it begins in the upper
left-hand portion of the screen and proceeds horizontally across the screen
moving from left-to-right and top-to-bottom. The user interface incorporates a
number of tabs wherein each tab corresponds to a major prescription step.
The tabs are aligned vertically along the left side of the user interface and are
used to modularize the application workflow.

Abstract: A method for repairing bone in a bone cavity delimited by healthy bone faces, and from which traumatized bone has been excised, comprises adjusting a flexible, biocompatible mesh fabric tube to fit the bone cavity and contact the healthy bone faces and filling the mesh tube with a bone graft. A bioresorbable coating is applied to the tube to rigidify the tube having been adjusted in shape to fit the bone cavity. The coating seals the mesh against graft movement through the mesh of the tube until the bioresorbable coating has been resorbed. The tube is inserted within the bone cavity and the coating is resorbed to allow the graft to pass from the interior of the tube, through the mesh, to the healthy bone faces.

Abstract: The method and system are for sealing/unsealing (regulating) airway leaks occurring between the ventilator circuit and respiratory airways during lung ventilatory support in response to myoelectrical activity of diaphragm. Myolectrical activity of a patient's respiratory-related muscle is sensed to detect respiratory effort, and to produce a myoelectrical signal representative of the sensed muscle myoelectrical activity. Respiratory flow and pressure can also be measured to produce respective respiratory pressure and respiratory flow signals. A logic trigger sealing/unsealing of airway leaks in relation to the myoelectrical signal, respiratory flow signal and/or respiratory pressure signal to assist respiration of the patient. The amplitude of the myoelectrical signal is compared to a given threshold, and airway leaks are sealed when the amplitude of the myoelectrical signal is higher than this threshold. Increment of myoelectrical signal amplitude can be also detected to trigger the airway leak regulating device to seal the airway leaks, while decrement of the myoelectrical signal amplitude can be detected to unseal the airway leaks and thus permit air evacuation from the patient's lungs.

Title: Method for parallel synthesis and transfer of molecules to a substrate
Inventor: BERNARD ANDRE
IPC: C40B50/14
Filed: 2002-04-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for highly parallel production of complex molecule libraries on the surface of a substrate with the aid of regeneratable matrix dies. According to prior art, the production of molecule libraries on a support is expensive, and requires a lot of time and a large amount of apparatus. By using regeneratable matrix dies it is possible to simplify and accelerate the production of molecule libraries, especially DNA and protein libraries, in a significant manner. The matrix-10 die is made of an elastic material such as polydimethylsiloxane and includes locally-bound matrix molecules on the surface thereof, said molecules being used as a model for the synthesis of copy molecules. The copy molecules are transferred to the target surface by means of a contact printing method. The matrix molecules remain on the die for further synthesis and print cycles which can repeated several times. The inventive method is suitable for copying and reproducing differently produced molecule arrays.
