Title: Method for coding an audio signal
Inventor: HERRE JURGEN
IPC: H04B1/66
Filed: 1998-03-13
Granted: 2000-08-31
Abstract: A method for coding or decoding an audio signal combines the advantages of TNS processing and noise substitution. A time-discrete audio signal is initially transformed to the frequency domain in order to obtain spectral values of the temporal audio signal. Subsequently, a prediction of the spectral values in relation to frequency is carried out in order to obtain spectral residual values. Within the spectral residual values, areas are detected encompassing spectral residual values with noise properties. The spectral residual values in the noise areas are noise-substituted, whereupon information concerning the noise areas and noise substitution is incorporated into side information pertaining to a coded audio signal. Thus, considerable bit savings in case of transient signals can be achieved.

Granted: 1993-05-27
Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for the identification, characterization and inhibition of farnesyl protein transferases, enzymes involved in the farnesylation of various cellular proteins, including cancer related ras proteins such as p21ras. One farnesyl protein transferase which is disclosed herein exhibits a molecular weight of between about 70,000 and about 100,000 upon gel exclusion chromatography. The enzyme appears to comprise one or two subunits of approximately 50 kDa each. Methods are disclosed for assay and purification of the enzyme, as well as procedures for using the purified enzyme in screening protocols for the identification of possible anticancer agents which inhibit the enzyme and thereby prevent expression of proteins such as p21ras. Also disclosed is a families of compounds which act either as false substrates for the enzyme or as pure inhibitors and can therefore be employed for inhibition of the enzyme. The most potent inhibitors are ones in which phenylalanine occurs at the third position of a tetrapeptide whose amino terminus is cysteine.

Title: Thin film photovoltaic device
Inventor: BARNETT ALLEN M
IPC: H01L31/18
Filed: 1987-12-03
Granted: 1989-11-30
Abstract: A thin film photovoltaic solar cell having an opaque electrical contact which consists of a low-cost substrate, such as a metal alloy or a metallurgical grade crystalline silicon and a barrier layer which is optically reflective, a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, a transparent electrical contact and an encapsulant. Solar cell quality semiconductors are grown using a constant temperature sliding boat liquid phase process in a continuous or semi-continuous mode.

Title: Cutting thin webs - giving predetermined lengths using linearly reciprocating blade
IPC: B21D13/04
Filed: 1970-04-03
Abstract: Web, e.g. fed from a loom, is advanced by a rotating endless screw which engages the top of the web. Rotating toothed wheels engage each side of the web downstream of the screw to stabilise the edges and advance the web after it has left the screw, and the wheels have diametrically opposed slots. When corresponding slots on each wheel are aligned, a blade extending transversely of the web descends, passing through the slots and cooperating with a lower fixed blade to cut the web. The mechanism accurately cuts webs used for making heat exchanger fins, and operates at high speed.

Title: Coating appliance for pipe interiors - incorporates pause between subsequent working strokes to control thickness of coating
IPC: B05B13/06
Filed: 1971-01-15
Abstract: The appliance is for the coating of internal pipe walls. It uses a flexible pipe with a spray- or distributor unit at its outlet end, this being pulled through the pipe to be coated. The coating medium is fed by a positive displacement pump through the flexible pipe to the outlet. Pipe advance speed and medium supply per time unit are functionally connected to avoid variations in coating thickness. There is a pause between two subsequent working strokes of the pump. The pause is ended by a trigger signal, connected to the pump, which initiates a new stroke. The number of trigger signals per unit of time is controlled dependent upon the advance speed of the flexible pipe through the pipe to be coated. The flexible pipe is pulled through, by winding its free end onto a rotating drum.
