Abstract: An image decoding device for receiving a bit stream including coded information of image data divided into tiles each containing N pixels x M pixels and each separately wavelet-encoded, and management information including information for specifying a memory location of the coded information which corresponds to each tile or each resolution, and information for managing and identifying each tile or each resolution. The image decoding device decodes a coded image corresponding to a necessary tile and a necessary resolution, and comprises a management information separating portion which separates management information from an input bit stream; a setting portion for setting a tile or a resolution to be decoded according to a user's instructions; an identifying portion for identifying a memory location of the coded information corresponding to the tile or the resolution to be decoded with reference to the management information according to the setting by the setting portion; a coded data extracting portion which extracts a portion of the coded information from the bit stream, and which corresponds to the set tile or the resolution based on the memory location of the identified coded information; and a wavelet-decoding portion for conducting wavelet-decoded images on a tile-by-tile basis, so that a desired image area is decoded in a desired resolution according to a user's instructions.

Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to isolate and identify a gene encoding the polypeptide that interacts with calreticulin (CRT), and to provide the gene and the use thereof. Specifically, an objective of the present invention is to provide the CRTintP gene, the transformed plants comprising the CRTintP gene, and a method of producing these transformed plants. The present inventors successfully detected a group of CRT-interacting genes using the yeast two-hybrid method. As a result, the present inventors detected the polynucleotide encoding the CRT-interacting polypeptide (named as CRTintP). Furthermore, the present inventors isolated the full-length cDNA encoding the CRTintP and revealed that the gene encoding the cDNA was novel. It was found that the expression of the CRT and CRTintP genes was significantly increased following application of cold stress in rice leaves.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a table game which more particularly enables the users of the table game to simulate a sport or an activity in a game.  Table games generally involve controllable players which move with respect to a table surface to perform an action with a playing object. However, the movement of the players and the actions they can perform on the playing object are mostly guided by the nature of the playing object, the type of movement allowed to the players and the force with which the players are actuated. The table game of the present invention includes extensions to the players and provides movement capacities to the players which enable the players and the playing object to be moved in a volume above the table surface.

Granted: 2008-04-22
Abstract: A cooking appliance includes an oven cavity, one or more heat sources for generating hot oven gases within the oven cavity to perform a cooking operation, a controller and a cooling system. The cooling system includes a fan having a drive shaft upon which is mounted a multi-pole magnet. A Hall effect sensor is positioned adjacent to the magnet and provides pulses to the controller. Using the pulses, the controller calculates a speed of the cooling fan. If, during a cooking operation, the controller determines the fan is not operating, the cooking operation is halted. Likewise, if the controller determines the fan is operating at too low a speed, the cooking operation is halted. In either case, a corresponding fault code is generated and stored within the controller.

Title: Epoxysilicone coated membranes
Inventor: CHIOU JEFFREY J
IPC: B01D67/00
Filed: 2002-04-03
Granted: 2010-02-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of making a epoxysilicone coated membrane by coating a porous asymmetric membrane layer with a UV-curable controlled release epoxysilicone coating. A mixture of the epoxysilicone resin and an onium photocatalyst are applied to the porous asymmetric membrane layer in a dilute non-polar solution and cured by UV or electron beam radiation to produce a dry epoxysilicone coated membrane. The porous asymmetric membrane layer is comprised of an asymmetric cellulosic membrane or an asymmetric polymer membrane with a low selectivity. The epoxysilicone coating was found to provide the asymmetric membrane layer with improved selectivity which extends to separation temperatures below 70 ~C and provides stable flux rates. Membranes produced in this manner are useful for the separation of gases such as carbon dioxide from natural gas.
