Patent CA-2456058-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MAURER-STROH SEBASTIAN
IPC: G16B30/10
Filed: 2002-07-31
Abstract: Two-step procedure for determining possible N-terminal N-myristoylation of proteins from their amino acid sequence. In the first step, a novel computerized algorithm deriving a decision calculated from the N-terminal segment off the amino acid sequence is applied to determine probable substrate proteins. The reduced list of targets may be subjected to experimental verification in a second step. The score function used in the decision does not only evaluate amino acid type preferences on single positions, but penalizes also deviations from the physico-chemical requirements for several positions that either show a general trend of deviation from the average properties of known myristoylated proteins or have been tested for compensatory effects. For risk evaluation, the scores are translated into probabilities of false positive prediction.

Title: Method and apparatus for identifying diagnostic components of a system
Inventor: TRAJSTMAN ALBERT
IPC: G16B40/20
Filed: 2002-10-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for identifying a subset of components o f a system, the subset being capable of predicting a feature of a test sample. The method comprises generating a linear combination of components and component weights in which values for each component are determined from dat a generated from a plurality of training samples, each training sample having a known feature. A model is defined for the probability distribution of a feature wherein the model is conditional on the linear combination and where in the model is not a combination of a binomial distribution for a two class response with a probit function linking the linear combination and the expectation of the response. A prior distribution is constructed for the component weights of the linear combination comprising a hyperprior having a high probability density close to zero, and the prior distribution and the model are combined to generate a posterior distribution. A subset of components is identified having component weights that maximise the posterio r distribution.

Title: Procedure and appliance for touch-free examinations of objects, especially regarding their surface character
Inventor: WEINHOLD WOLFGANG
IPC: G01N21/958
Filed: 2002-05-08
Abstract: According to the invention, in order to optically examine an object in a contactless manner, the light which successively impinges on the surface (21 ) of said object at different angles of incidence and reflects off said surfac e is measured by an image sensor (40), producing a plurality of image data set s having different contents. In this way, a first image data set is produced with the incident light (43 a, b), from which form-independent or non- topographical characteristics, such as colour errors, can be derived. Form- dependent or topographical characteristics, such as scratches, are derived from a second image data set formed with glancing light or oblique light (42 a). Before the form characteristics are derived from the first image data se t, it is essential that the distorting influences of form-independent characteristics are eliminated from the first image data set by means of the second image data set. Furthermore, the device is embodied as a portable manual appliance which is placed by hand, in an approximately light-permeabl e manner, on the surface of the fixed object, or is displaced in contact with the surface. In one form of embodiment, the incident light is replaced or complemented by transmitted light, so that translucent objects, e.g. paper, can also be examined.

Patent CA-2474067-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOLY ALEXANDRE
IPC: G10L25/69
Filed: 2003-01-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of qualitatively evaluating a digital audio signal. It is characterized in that it calculates a quality indicator consisting of a vector associated with each time window in real time, in continuous time, and in successive time windows. For example, the generation of a quality indicator vector calculates, for a reference audio signal and for an audio signal to be evaluated, the spectral power density of the audio signal, the coefficients of a prediction filter, using an autoregressive method, a temporal activity of the signal or the minimum value of the spectrum in successive blocks of the signal. To evaluate the deterioration of the audio signal, the method may calculate a distance between the vectors of the reference audio signal and the audio signal to be evaluated associated with each time window.
