Title: System and method for delivering protease inhibitors
Inventor: BORDOLOI BINOY
IPC: A61K35/55
Filed: 2014-02-05
Abstract: The disclosed invention provides a system and method of artificially retarding fibrin- based blood clot degradation via the sustained release of a protease inhibitor, such as, for example, aprotinin or tranexamic acid ("TA"). The sustained release of the protease inhibitor is accomplished through incorporation within a biodegradable polymer microsphere to produce a protease inhibitor formulation. Next, the formulation along with fibrinogen and thrombin is applied to a wound site where an outer surface of the polymer microsphere degrades in a proteolytic environment to expose and release the incorporated protease inhibitor to the surrounding hydrogel or sealant or clot matrix at the wound site.

Title: Method and apparatus for encoding/decoding image
Inventor: BAE KEUN LEE
IPC: H04N19/60
Filed: 2012-10-17
Abstract: Decoding a video signal by obtaining residual coefficients relating to a current block from a bitstream. These residual coefficients are then inverse quantized to obtain an inverse-quantized residual. This followed by determining, based on a transform skip mode (TSM) index, the TSM relating to the current block from a TSM candidate. The TSM candidate includes at least one of a 2-dimensional transform mode 310, a horizontal transform mode 320, a vertical transform mode 330 or a non-transform mode 340. The number of transform skip candidates is dependent on the size and/or shape of the current block. Residual samples relating to the current block from the inverse-quantized residual coefficients are then obtained based on the TSM, wherein when the determined TSM is the non-transform mode, the residual samples are obtained by scaling the inverse-quantized residual coefficients with a shift value. Then, reconstruction samples are obtained using the residual samples of the current block. A deblocking filter is applied to the obtained reconstruction samples. Preferably the scaling is performed by using a bit shift operation. Preferably the shift value is determined based on the size of the current block.
