Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for introducing a gene into an embryo for production of a human disease model primate animal using a non-human primate animal such as a marmoset. The present invention relates to a method for introducing a foreign gene into an early embryo of a non-human primate animal, which comprises placing early embryos of a non-human primate in a 0.2 M to 0.3 M sucrose solution, so as to increase the volume of the perivitelline spaces, and then injecting a viral vector containing a human foreign gene operably linked to a promoter into the perivitelline spaces of the early embryos.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a filtering process is based on the output side of a multimedia decoder. A navigator (310a monitors the current play position of the multimedia content and compares that position with navigation objects (316a). Each navigation object (316a) defines a start position, a stop position, and an filtering action to perform on the portion of the multimedia content that begins at the start position and ends at the stop position. When the current play position falls within the portion of multimedia content defined by a particular navigation object, the navigator (310a) activates the filtering action that was assigned to the navigation object (316a). Filtering actions include skipping, muting, reframing, etc., the portion of multimedia content defined by a navigation object.; A variety of systems may be used to implement the present invention, such as computer systems (consumer and server), television systems, and audio systems.

Abstract: In a coding system, input data within a system is encoded. The input data might include sequences of symbols that repeat in the input data or occur in other input data encoded in the system. The encoding includes determining a target segment size, determining a window size, identifying a fingerprint within a window of symbols at an offset in the input data, determining whether the offset is to be designated as a cut point and segmenting the input data as indicated by the set of cut points. For each segment so identified, the encoder determines whether the segment is to be a referenced segment or an unreferenced segment, replacing the segment data of each referenced segment with a reference label and storing a reference binding in a persistent segment store for each referenced segment, if needed. Hierarchically, the process can be repeated by grouping references into groups, replacing the grouped references with a group label, storing a binding between the grouped references and group label, if one is not already present, and repeating the process. The number of levels of hierarchy can be fixed in advanced or it can be determined from the content encoded.
