Patent EP-0827551-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SMITH CASSANDRA L
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1996-05-20
Abstract: The invention relates to methods for rapidly determining the sequence and/or length a target sequence. The target sequence may be a series of known or unknown repeat sequences which are hybridized to an array of probes. The hybridized array is digested with a single-strand nuclease and free 3'-hydroxyl groups extended with a nucleic acid polymerase. Nuclease cleaved heteroduplexes can be easily distinguish from nuclease uncleaved heteroduplexes by differential labeling. Probes and target can be differentially labeled with detectable labels. Matched target can be detected by cleaving resulting loops from the hybridized target and creating free 3-hydroxyl groups. These groups are recognized and extended by polymerases added into the reaction system which also adds or releases one label into solution. Analysis of the resulting products using either solid phase or solution. These methods can be used to detect characteristic nucleic acid sequences, to determine target sequence and to screen for genetic defects and disorders. Assays can be conducted on solid surfaces allowing for multiple reactions to be conducted in parallel and, if desired, automated.\!

Abstract: A two-dimensional discrete cosine transform processor (two-dimensional DCT processor) includes two one-dimensional DCT circuits and a transposition memory interposed therebetween. Each of the two one-dimensional DCT circuits includes a butterfly operation circuit and a distributed arithmetic circuit at the subsequent level. Partial sums of vector inner products based on a constant matrix obtained by multiplying respective elements of a discrete cosine matrix by frequency-depending weighting according to human visual sense are stored in ROMs included in the distributed arithmetic circuit, and the contents of the ROMs are used to obtain a one-dimensional DCT result with weighting given. In this manner, arbitrary weighting can be given to the transform result without using a multiplier. Thus, for example, in a compressing and coding system for image data, the compression efficiency can be improved as compared with the case where weighting is not given to the transform result.

Abstract: A system providing capability security for distributed object systems is
disclosed. The basic tenet of capability security is that the right to do
something to an object (e.g., invoke a particular object's methods) is
represented solely by the holding of a reference to that object. In each of the
preferred embodiments described herein, an object is presumed to hold
legitimately a reference to a particular object only if the object knows some
unpublicized (except under the conditions required by capability security) key
associated with the particular object. That is, an object's key is required
along with the object's reference. So that capability security is preserved
when object references are passed between objects in different processes,
the object references being passed are encrypted upon transmission and
then decrypted upon arrival at their intended destination. This cryptography
can be performed by objects or processes using a variety of techniques,
including Diffie-Helman or public/private key cryptography. The cryptography
performed in the various embodiments ensures that only the intended
recipient of the message can decode the object reference and that a
misbehaving object cannot convince another object that it possesses a
capability it does not have. Some of the disclosed embodiments provide
capability security for distributed object systems wherein the objects and
processes directly handle inter-object and inter-process communications and
message encryption and decryption.

Abstract: An error detecting/correcting circuit 9 in a digital broadcast receiving
device calculates a error rate from the error amount for the amount of input
information. A controlling part 15 converts the error rate into the C/N ratio as a
receiving signal quality and indicates it on a screen of a TV receiver 5 or other
indicator 18. In this method, after digitally demodulating the received digital
broadcasting signal, the error rate is obtained by an error detecting part 9 and the
error rate is converted into the receiving signal quality for indication. Therefore,
compared with the reception performance indication based on the input level such as
the AGC voltage, the method is high both in precision and in stability. The
receiving signal quality can be detected only while receiving a digital broadcasting
signal, so with reference to the converted receiving signal quality in antenna bearing
adjustment, a digital broadcasting signal can be surely received without confusing it
with an analog broadcasting signal.

Abstract: A solenoid type magnetic trip assembly (22) for a molded case circuit breaker
(10) includes an armature (80) biased against an adjustable stop (138) by a tension
spring (116) to set the initial gap (220) for the magnetic trip, so that the spring bias
remains constant for the full range of the initial gap (220). The armature (80) includes
an elongated magnetically permeable member (82) mounted by a frame (84) to slide
longitudinally along a pair of guide rails (122). The frame (84) defines a trip surface
(104) axially aligned with the elongated magnetically permeable member (82) which
engages a trip arm (160) on a trip bar (24) to trip the circuit breaker (10) in response
to a predetermined level of overcurrent. A bimetal (168) providing a thermal trip
function is cantilevered from a support spaced from the trip bar (24) by the armature
(80), but has a terminal portion (174) at the free end (172) projecting toward the trip
bar (24) and through which the elongated magnetically permeable member (82) of the
armature (80) extends. A radially enlarged slug (88) on the free end of the elongated
magnetically permeable member (82) of the armature (80) is subjected to a magnetic
force opposite to the force generated by load current tending to pull the armature (80)
into the solenoid coil (74). This opposing force increases as the initial gap (220)
increases, placing the slug (88) closer to the magnetic frame (78), so that a greater
range of trip currents can be selected despite limited room for armature travel. A gap
(228) in the magnetic frame (78) prevents short circuiting the magnetic field where the
few turns of a large gauge coil wire produce an unsymmetrical winding. A magnetic
shield (198) protects the bimetal (168) from deformation during high current short
circuits.

is movable along the axis (21) in the one direction to move
the first gear (16) along the axis in that direction. The
second threaded member (90) is screwed together with the
first threaded member (64) such that rotation of the second
threaded member (90) causes axial movement of the first
threaded member (64). The ratchet drive (98) is interposed
between the first gear (16) and the second threaded
member (90), and rotates the second threaded member (90)
selectively when lash between the meshing gear teeth (18,
20) provides the clearance.

Abstract: A wireless terminal and wireless telecommunications system are disclosed that prevent
a thief of a wireless terminal from using the stolen wireless terminal to steal wireless service. A
PIN is stored in the wireless terminal and the wireless terminal itself checks that a candidate
PIN matches the stored PIN before the wireless terminal will initiate a call or will establish an
incoming call. Thereafter, however, the user is permitted to call that telephone number or to
receive a call from that telephone number without having to enter a candidate PIN again. 
     In the wireless telecommunications system, a PIN is stored in a subscriber database for
each user. The subscriber database also contains a history list of the telephone numbers that
each user has previously called or received calls from. When the user first attempts to call a
telephone number from which a received call has not been established, the wireless
telecommunications system requires the user to enter a candidate PIN that matches the stored
PIN before the call is established. Thereafter, the user is permitted to call that telephone
number or receive a call from that telephone number without having to enter a candidate PIN
again. Alternatively, when the user first receives a call from a telephone number that the user
has not previously called, the wireless telecommunications system requires the user to enter a
candidate PIN that matches the stored PIN before the call is established. Thereafter, the user is
permitted to call that telephone number or receive a call from that telephone number without
having to enter a candidate PIN again.
