Abstract: A warning timer adapted for use in an interactive data processing system which generates an alarm when a user receives output at an input/output device when he or she is not likely to be paying attention to the input/output device. The user is assumed to be paying attention for a specified amount of time after he or she last sent a request to a computer or received a response from the computer. The specified amount of time corresponds to the length of the user's attention span. The warning timer operates as follows. When the user receives a response, it calculates the amount of time that has elapsed since the user last sent a request or received a response If the elapsed time exceeds the specified amount of time, it generates an alarm to alert the user. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Drawing device (20), which preferably serves for rolling up or down a cloth (15) for a blind (10), has a cable pull (30) which starts on both sides in each case at the lower end of guide rails (12) arranged at the side of the cloth (15) and is fastened there, is guided by the rails via deflection rollers (25, 26) into a hollow profile (22) arranged transversely to these and is therein wound up around two rollers (31) one or more times. The two rollers (31) are arranged displaceably by a stroke in relation to one another and pressed apart by a spring element which in particular is formed by a gas-pressure spring (35). The hollow profile (22) is in this case guided in the two guide rails (12) by laterally arranged sliding elements (23) and fastened to the end of the cloth (15) to be displaced. As a result, this cloth is rolled down uniformly over its entire length by the drawing device (20) according to the invention. The drawing device (20) is constructed very compactly and simply as an independent separate unit.

Abstract: A coding and decoding device for a time-varying picture, by which a high picture quality is obtained from a smaller amount of information than a system using only DCT coding. The efficiency of coding can be increased and the block distortion of a composite image is reduced. An image is divided into several blocks, and each block is coded. At this time discrete cosine transformation coding (DCT) and intrablock predictive composing (NTC) are switched over to each other adequately according to the property of the image pattern. When the intrablock predictive composing is executed, the predictive value and quantization width of a block are transmitted. <IMAGE>

In one embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port (16A), and the competitive migration of the sperm sample through the mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) is detected to serve as an indicator of sperm motility. In another embodiment, the substrate of the device is microfabricated with a sperm inlet port (16A), an egg nesting chamber (16B), and an elongate mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) communicating between the egg nesting chamber (16B) and the inlet port (16A). In this embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port, and the sperm in the sample is permitted to competitively migrate from the inlet port (16A) through the channel (20, 40) to the egg nesting chamber (16B), where in vitro fertilization occurs. The devices of the invention may be used in a wide range of applications in the analysis of a sperm sample, including the analysis of sperm morphology or motility, to assess sperm binding properties, and for in vitro fertilization.
