Filed: 2002-03-14
Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode de modulation de la capacité de synthèse d'oligomères synthétiques sur support solide et de modulation de leurs propriétés de clivage par rapport à ce support solide. Cette méthode utilise des molécules de liaison fixées sur une surface solide et des agents de co-couplage présentant des réactivités similaires à celles des composés de couplage avec les groupes fonctionnels de surface. Les molécules de liaison préférées permettent d'obtenir des polymères à densité accrue et à résistance supérieure au clivage par rapport à la surface de support. Cette méthode est particulièrement utile pour la synthèse d'oligonucléotides, de microréseaux d'oligonucléotides, de peptides et de microréseaux de peptides. Les lieurs stables sont également couplés à des molécules d'ancrage pour la synthèse d'oligonucléotides d'ADN sur support de purification, ce qui permet d'éliminer les chromatographies prenant beaucoup de temps et la présence de cations métalliques. Les oligonucléotides ainsi obtenus peuvent être directement utilisés pour l'analyse de masse, l'amplification, la ligation et l'hybridation de l'ADN, et de nombreuses autres applications.

Abstract: A device allows easy and unencumbered interaction between a person and a computer display system using the person's (or another object's) movement and position as input to the computer. In some configurations, the display can be projected around the user so that that the person's actions are displayed around them. The video camera and projector operate on different wavelengths so that they do not interfere with each other. Uses for such a device include, but are not limited to, interactive lighting effects for people at clubs or events, interactive advertising displays, etc. Computer-generated characters and virtual objects can be made to react to the movements of passers-by, generate interactive ambient lighting for social spaces such as restaurants, lobbies and parks, video game systems and create interactive information spaces and art installations. Patterned illumination and brightness and gradient processing can be used to improve the ability to detect an object against a background of video images.

Abstract: Stories are detected in multimedia data composed of concurrent s treams for different modes such as audio, video and text and linked to related stories. First, time periods of uniformity in attributes of the streams serve as 'building blocks' that are consolidated according to rules that are characteristic of the story to be detected. The attributes are then ranked by their respective reliabilities for detecting the story to be detected. An inter-attribute union of the time periods is cumulated attribute-to-attribute in an order that is based on the ranking. A buffered portion of the multimedia data that is delimited by the starting and ending times is retained in mass storage. The starting and ending times are indexed by characteristics of content of the portion to form a story segment which is maintained in a data structure with links to related story segments.

Abstract: Improved frequency drift and phase error compensation in a VOFDM receiver. The
invention is operable to compensate for frequency drift and phase error within a window that
may include a single frame, a sub-frame, or multiple frames. The compensation is performed
after having performed estimation of the phase within the particular window; any phase error
and frequency drift may be identified and an appropriate form of compensation may be
identified to perform curve fitting of the phase within the compensation window. The curve
fitting of the phase is performed using linear techniques in one embodiment; an average phase
and appropriate slope/ramp are calculated to match the phase as accurately as possible. Other
alternative compensation techniques may also be performed, including higher order curve
matching techniques. The receiver is operable to perform any necessary compensation before
passing the now-compensated data to a symbol processing functional block.

Abstract: Disclosed is an axial-flow fan comprising a hub (52) and a
plurality of blades (54) located on an outer circumference of the
hub so as to axially blow air. Each blade (54) includes a positive
pressure side (54d) to which high pressure of the air is applied, a
negative pressure side (54e) to which low pressure of the air is
applied, and a protuberance (56) formed on the positive pressure
side (54d) so as to reduce the difference of pressure between the
positive and negative pressure sides. The axial-flow fan
reduces the amount of an airflow flowing along the positive
pressure sides (54d) at blade tips (54c), and causes air to effectively
flow at the blade tips (54c), thereby reducing the difference of
pressure between the positive pressure sides (54d) and the negative
pressure sides (54e) at the blade tips (54c) and preventing the occurrence
of a vortex generated at the blade tips (54c). Further, the axial-flow
fan slows down the restoration to the static pressure of
air flowing between the positive pressure sides to the
negative pressure sides at the blade tips of blades, thereby
reducing the noise generated by the operation of the fan.
