Patent EP-1301627-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LEE HELEN
IPC: C12Q1/6816
Filed: 2001-07-06
Abstract: Improved dipstick assays for testing for the presence of a target nucleic acid in a sample solution are described. A dipstick is provided which comprises a contact end for contacting the sample solution and a capture zone remote from the contact end for capturing target nucleic acid. Sample solution is contacted with the contact end to cause sample solution to move by capillary action to the capture zone. Target nucleic acid in the sample solution is captured at the capture zone and is detected by a plurality of different labelled detection probes each capable of hybridizing to a different region of the target nucleic acid. The detection signal is thereby enhanced. In other methods a plurality of different capture probes are added to the sample solution which can then be bound by a capture moiety at the capture zone to indirectly capture target nucleic acid. Capture of target nucleic acid is thereby improved. Kits and dipsticks for carrying out such methods are also described.

Title: Controlling and managing digital assets
Inventor: KOBATA HIROSHI
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2001-07-16
Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for controlling and managing digital assets. These systems and techniques are particularly useful when digital assets are transmitted electronically using, for example, the Internet, as these techniques serve to make the Internet secure for communication and control of digital assets. In addition, they permit dynamic control and management of digital assets, regardless of where the assets reside. Use of these systems and techniques promises to enable new, Internet-based distribution models, and to provide superior insight with respect to the use and status of digital assets. Particular implementations of the systems and techniques permit features such as lifetime control of digital content, multi-level control of digital content (including session encryption, asset encryption, and remote management), and try-before-you buy marketing approaches. They also support functions such as digital rights transfer, tracking, segmentation, archiving, and improved handling of upgrades and updates.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un mécanisme destiné à fixer une carte interface de dispositif (DIB) à la surface d'une tête d'essai ou d'un périphérique. Ce mécanisme comprend un premier et un second mécanisme d'entraînement, ces mécanismes étant fixés sur ladite surface, ainsi qu'un actionneur sensiblement en forme de U. Chacun des mécanismes d'entraînement comprend un élément rotatif couplé à un élément de raccord par l'intermédiaire d'une interface de conversion. Cette interface de conversion permet de convertir la rotation de l'élément rotatif en mouvement vertical de l'élément de raccord. L'actionneur en forme de U comprend une première et une seconde extrémité, ces extrémités étant respectivement couplées aux éléments rotatifs desdits premier et second mécanismes d'entraînement. Le pivotement de l'actionneur en forme de U par l'intermédiaire d'un arc fait tourner les éléments rotatifs et amène les éléments de raccord à se déplacer verticalement. Une carte interface de dispositif se bloquant avec les éléments de raccord peut ainsi être entraînée vers le bas contre ladite surface avec rapidité et de manière commode, l'effet de levier mécanique étant suffisamment marqué pour compresser un grand nombre de broches à ressort.

Abstract: A composite signal (Srpp) in which pre-pit signal components are
piggypacked onto frequency components of wobbling, is extracted from
an optical recording medium (50). The composite signal is binarized,
so that pre-pit signals (S LPP1 ,S LPP2 ) are generated. The pre-pit signals
pass through a first gate (5a) when the gate is open. The gate is
periodically opened only in a period during which the amplitude of the
wobbling (Swb) becomes a maximum one (2). The number of the pre-pit signals
passing through the gate is counted (count signal), so that a binarizing level for
generating the pre-pit signal is set based on the relationship between
the counted number per a reference time and a predetermined reference
number.

Abstract: The invention relates to a communication terminal provided with means to
selectively distort an acoustic signal inputted by the user to the communication
terminal during a call to another user of a communication terminal. The invention
enables a user of a first communication terminal to selectively distort an acoustic
signal inputted into the first communication terminal during a call with a user of a
second communication terminal, where the method includes that the user of the
first communication terminal inputs an acoustic signal. A processor in the first
communication terminal distorts the signal according to a selection in the first
communication terminal, where the selection is user defined or selected. The
processor transfers the distorted signal and transmits the signal via a
communication network to the second communication terminal, where a processor
of the second communication terminal receives the distorted signal and uses the
distorted signal as output acoustic signal in the second communication terminal to
the user of the second communication terminal.

Abstract: A method of transferring an image recorded on a photographic film
to a digital signal, using a film scanning device that generates scan data
representative of the digital signal, comprises the steps of calibrating the film
scanning device in relation to printing densities and scanning the photographic
film with the film scanning device to produce scan data that represents printing
densities. Inasmuch as the digital signal is used to drive a film recorder that
exposes an output film that is subsequently printed onto a target print material, the
scan data represents printing densities which when written out to the film recorder
will produce printing densities of the output film onto the target print material that
are identical to the printing densities of the same photographic film optically
transferred onto the target print material.
