Patent EP-1281936-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ANGEL SANUY SARROCA
IPC: G01D5/20
Filed: 2002-07-31
Abstract: "ANALOG CONTROL MECHANISM"  through which a mechanical movement is converted
into an electrical dimension (voltage or current). It uses the principle of the total or partial
variation of a magnetic field through the movement of an electrical conducting object relative to
a set of energising and receiving coils. The operating principle behind this invention is based on
the shielding of the magnetic flux lines that emerge from the poles of an emitting coil and, to a
greater or lesser extent, reach a receiving coil. Basically, it consists of an analog control
mechanism or sensor which converts spatial movement into an electric current or voltage
variation which may or may not be linear. This invention solves the disadvantages of physical
wear and tear seen in similar existing devices as there is no contact between the parts that make
up the system of control. There are numerous fields of application, including a specific
application for controlling the volume of an audio-frequency system.

Title: Catecholate beta-lactam conjugates, method for producing the same and the use thereof
Inventor: HEINISCH LOTHAR
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 2002-02-27
Abstract: The invention relates to novel substituted catechol derivatives that are derived from multibase secondary amino acids and analog structures of general formula (I), wherein R<1> = H, alkyl, aryl, R<2> and R<3> = H or acyl, R<4> and R<5> = H, alkyl, aryl, and R<6> or R<7> = H, alkyl or catecholate groups, optionally in the acylated form or together with spacer groups, X and Z are direct bonds or bonds interrupted by certain spacer groups, and Y = OH (as a free acid, in the form of their salts or their easily cleavable esters). The inventive compounds are effective as siderophores in mycobacteria and gram-negative bacteria strains, especially pseudomonades,    E. coli     and    Salmonella     strains. They can be used as transport vehicles for introducing active substances, for example antibiotics (as  siderophore antibiotic conjugates ) in bacterial cells, thereby improving or enlarging their antibacterial activity to a larger extent than known compounds. The inventive compounds are suitable for use as potential prodrug forms for iron chelators in diseases that are associated with a disturbed iron metabolism.
Patent EP-1364395-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZHAO QUING-TAI
IPC: H01L21/336
Filed: 2002-02-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a self-aligned patterning method for producing submicrometer patterns in silicide layers on a substrate. The inventive method is characterized by applying a metal layer to a substrate, said metal layer being capable of reacting with the substrate to give a silicide layer. Masks are then applied to the metal layer. The distribution of stresses generated by the mask is changed by producing in said mask cuts, that is notches that extend to the surface of the metal layer formed. On the bottom of such a notch the electric field is regularly stronger. A voltage-dependent solid state reaction (silicidation) generates the desired nanometer pattern of the silicide layer formed. For example, the silicidation reaction takes only place in the area below the mask while on the bottom of the notch no silicidation takes place. The invention provides a method for producing, in combination with some further process steps, various MOSFETs.

Title: Leporipox-based vector vaccines
Inventor: SPIBEY NORMAN
IPC: C12N15/86
Filed: 2002-03-07
Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of a live, recombinant leporipox virus comprising exogenous DNA which is operably linked to at least one expression control element and which is incorporated in a non-essential region of the virus genome, in the manufacture of a vector vaccine for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of infectious diseases in non-lepori species. The invention furthermore relates to a live, recombinant leporipox virus comprising exogenous DNA operably linked to at least one expression control element and incorporated in a non-essential region of the virus genome characterized in that said exogenous DNA encodes at least one antigen of a non-lepori pathogen. Due to its restricted host-range the recombinant leporipox virus is non-pathogenic in non-susceptible hosts such as non-lepori vertebrates. Vaccination with said recombinant leporipox virus induced an antigenic or immunogenic response in the vaccinated non-lepori host even though productive replication of the virus was not observed in the host.

IPC: H04N7/50
Filed: 1995-10-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for
interpolating pixels (80) to obtain subpels for use
by a video decompression processor. A prediction
area (90) is defined from which subpels are
necessary to decompress a portion of a video image.
Instead of reading all of the pixels from the
prediction area and then processing them together to
perform the necessary interpolation, portions of the
pixel data are read and simultaneously averaged
using in-place computation in order to reduce
hardware requirements. Rounding of subpixel results
is achieved using the carry input of conventional
adders (114, 116, 118, 120, 148) to add a binary "1"
to the averaged pixels, which are subsequently
truncated (150) to provide the interpolated subpels.

Title: Multiresoltion transmission and error correction coding with multicarrier signals
Inventor: OSHIMA MITSUAKI
IPC: H04N21/647
Filed: 1993-03-26
Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated
according to an input signal for producing relevant signal
points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided
into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points
are divided into signal point groups to which data of the
first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second
data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal
point group. A difference in the transmission error rate
between first and second data streams is developed by
shifting the signal points to other positions in the space
diagram. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data
streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV
broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter
into, low and high, frequency band components which are
designated as a first and a second data stream respectively.
Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only
the low frequency band component or both the low and high
frequency band components, depending on its capability.

Abstract: An output of an internal combustion engine is transmitted to an output shaft by
controlling a control motor to change a speed without speed steps, in a power
distribution planetary gear. An output of a drive motor is input to the output shaft by

a large degree when a vehicle speed is low, and produces a desired number of
revolutions by decelerating the speed in a small degree when the vehicle speed is high.
