Patent NO-974091-D0 (NO)
Inventor: GUO ZICHENG
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1997-09-05
Abstract: Data pages (305,310,315,320,325,330,335) of an interactive program guide (IPG) for television are transmitted according to a shuffle function which allows different television receivers to retrieve particular segments of the data pages based on the day and time of program listings which a viewer wishes to see. A page of data, which corresponds to a full-screen image, is divided into segments and retrieved by the receivers over time. The segments are shuffled to provide an optimal separation in the data stream. The optimal separation corresponds to the receiver's input buffer size and processing speed. The pages may be arranged sequentially, or with the even-numbered pages separated from the odd-numbered pages. The pages are partitioned into a number of subsets, and, within the pages of each subset, the segments are shuffled according to a perfect shuffle function such that respective adjacent segment pairs are arranged in an order which maximizes a minimum of their inter-segment distance after shuffling. The minimum inter-segment distance of all the subsets is used to determine a characteristic inter-segment arrival time, which must be large enough to correspond to the receiver's processing capability. The required input buffer size and processing speed of the receivers is reduced, yet data page acquisition speed is increased for all viewers.

Abstract: A long electrical motor mainly for submersible use having a high efficiency, being mechanically stable, capable of being assembled under low time consumption at low costs, and which is easy to maintain and repair. The long motor has a rotor divided into sections with at least one low friction bearing arranged between the sections and in each end of the long motor. A stator is stacked continuously past internal bearings using thin sheets of metal discs between the bearings. Each disc in the bearing pedestal is significantly thicker than the common stator discs and is made of paramagnetic metal with good heat transfer properties. The inner diameter of each disc in the bearing pedestal is smaller than the inner diameter of the common stator discs so that a bearing inserted into the bearing pedestal is held by a tight fit. The inner diameter of the bearing fits tightly to the axis of the rotor and slots for the stator windings in all metal discs are radially open towards the rotor.

Title: Making time-of-flight measurements in master/slave and ad hoc networks by evesdropping on messages
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-03-17
Abstract: Method for obtaining range and/or positional information of electronic devices typically rely on a device (A) re-questing that another device (B) supplies a reply message (22), which contains some timing information (T2, T3) on the signals received and sent. Problems that arise in such networks comprise: firstly, some devices (C) may be out of range of the device (A) that initiates the ranging measurements, and secondly, some devices (B, C) may not be allowed to communicate with each other and thus, the distance between these devices cannot be found. This invention discloses that in these cases, eavesdropping on messages (21, 22, 24) passing between other devices (A, B, C) in the system can result in that distances between additional devices are found. Furthermore, by using eavesdropping the number of transmissions, and therefore the potential for collisions, is reduced. Thus, the power consumption of the nodes in the network can be lowered.

The shaft tooth or groove (50) engages the dial groove or rib (48) such that rotating the dial (44) relative to the housing (36) causes the shaft tooth or groove (50) to slide along the dial groove or rib (48) causing the shaft (30) to slide within the bore along its longitudinal axis. The housing (36) and the stylus arm (38) can rotate about the shaft (30) without causing the shaft (30) to slide within its bore along its longitudinal axis. A method of adjusting the surgical resection guide is also disclosed.

Title: Splicing & loading tape into cassettes
IPC: G11B23/26
Filed: 1985-07-24
Abstract: The method comprises disposing an end of a terminal portion of a use tape upon a splicing surface. The end is releasably retained in such a disposition. The leader tape is extracted from a leadered cassette supported so that its hubs may be rotated and juxtaposed in alignment with the use tape terminal portion. An integral portion of the length of the extracted leader tape is releasably retained on the splicing surface and secured to the first hub of cassette by its ends. A second integral portion is releasably retained by the retaining device and secured to a second hub by its end. The leader tape is then slit across its lateral dimension so that the leader tape is divided into two portions at the use tape end. The trailing end of the first leader tape portion is brought into abutment with use tape end. Splicing tape is applied to the abutting ends releasably retained on the splicing surface to splice the first leader tape portion and the use tape.

Title: Wheel for toy vehicle
IPC: A63H31/00
Filed: 1986-01-23
Abstract: A toy vehicle wheel that changes from a generally cylindrical periphery with an initial diameter and axial width to a greater diameter periphery. The wheel has a hollow shell of rubber or some other flexible material and opposed sidewalls of the wheel are moveable relative to each other to compress the axial width and increase the diameter. Across a substantial portion of the initial axial width a number of slits extend so that the periphery is serrated when it is enlarged. In one form, an axial screw engages a sidewall to rotate the wheel in its initial quiescent condition along a relatively unobstructed surface, but, upon encountering an obstruction, will draw the one sidewall toward the other. Variations provide for containing the axial screw within the compressed wheel or permitting it to extend out of a sidewall. Other forms provide for movement of the sidewalls relative to each other with bayonet locking in a desired condition and for spring bias in one direction.

The method provides for the detection of specific phages which is faster and more sensitive than known techniques. The method is only limited by the availability of host bacteria/target phage pairings.
Patent GB-9611981-D0 (GB)
Title: Enhancement of gene expression
IPC: C12N15/29
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: A method for enhancing the expression of a tomato phytoene synthese gene in a plant while avoiding or reducing co-suppression involves the synthesis of a DNA which is altered in nucleotide sequence (SEQ ID NO:1) and is capable of expression of a protein, ideally identical to that of a protein already expressed by a DNA already present in the plant. This method ensures that sequence similarity between the two genes is reduced enough to eliminate the phenomenon of co-suppression, allowing the over-expression of a specific phytoene synthese protein.
