Patent EP-0909765-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KAPURNIOTU AFRODITI DR
IPC: C07K14/585
Filed: 1998-08-21
Abstract: Superpotent calcitonin analogs have greatly increased hypocalcemic action in vivo. These calcitonins and calcitonin derivatives are employed for the therapy of, for example, osteoporosis, Paget's disease or hypercalcemia. The calcitonins and calcitonin derivatives are distinguished by a bridging of the amino acids present in the positions 17 and 21. By means of suitable choice of the amino acids present in these positions an 18-membered or 19-membered ring is produced. This ring leads to an increased conformational stability and to an increased activity of the modified calcitonin. A particularly suitable hCt (human calcitonin analog) is a cyclo17,21-[Asp17, Orn21]-hCt having a 19-membered ring structure between the lactam-bridged Asp17 and Orn21.

Abstract: A stocker apparatus for storage mediums such as minidisk
cartridges is provided which includes a stocker tray moving
mechanism designed to move stocker trays between a neutral and a
storage medium loading/unloading position together. In the neutral

openings being aligned vertically. In the storage medium
loading/unloading position, the stocker tray moving mechanism
shifts the stocker trays laterally by different distances so as to orient
the storage medium loading/unloading openings diagonally upward
for facilitating ease of manual loading and unloading of each storage
medium into and from corresponding one of the stocker trays.

Abstract: A master disk used for manufacturing an optical disk on
which information is recorded, and a method for
manufacturing the same are provided. First (110) and
second (120) photoresist layers are sequentially disposed
on a substrate (20) and the first photoresist layer (110)
is less sensitive to exposure to a laser beam (LB1,LB2)
having a predetermined wavelength than the second
photoresist layer (120), therefore the master disk can be
manufactured by selectively exposing and etching the
photoresist layers (110,120), so that the boundary between
grooves and information pits recessed from the grooves
becomes distinct and the grooves and information pits have
inner walls substantially perpendicular to the substrate.
Therefore, the reproduction characteristics of an optical
disk obtained from the master disk are improved.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une cavité laser à pompage continu, à impulsions répétitives et à modulation du facteur Q, comportant deux différents milieux de gain qui émettent des faisceaux laser à une longueur d'onde presque identique. En pompant les différents milieux de gain, séparément et de façon variable, la cavité laser peut générer efficacement un rayonnement de sortie dont les paramètres restent constants sur une plus grande plage de fréquences de répétition des impulsions qu'il ne serait possible si l'un ou l'autre des milieux de gain étaient disposés seuls dans la cavité. Dans un certain mode de réalisation, la cavité laser comporte un dispositif permettant d'assurer une correction presque en temps réel des écarts d'effet de loupe thermique dans le milieu de gain causés par des variations de la puissance de pompage ou de la fréquence de répétition des impulsions.

Abstract: A block adaptive quantisation device processes blocks
of sample pairs to determine an aggregate or average value
at 18. The average or aggregate value is applied to each
of a number of exponent look up tables 22 to 26, which
output and exponent value (E) dependent on the extent of
compression required. The exponent value is split by an
exponent splitter into a remainder value (R) and a shift
value (S). The remainder value is used to select one of a
number of divide look up tables to which the unsigned data
sample is applied, and the shift value is used to apply a
variable bit shift to the data sample (either before or
after the division operation). 
     Each divide look up table 42 to 48 comprises the same
group of divide look up tables. The combination of the
four look up tables in the group, together with the
variable bit shift defines a series of code tables made up
of a group of divide look up tables repeated at six dB
intervals. The remainder value selects one of the code
tables within the group, and the bit shift operation
determines the selected one of the repeated groups. The
code tables within the group are spaced logarithmically,
as are the groups themselves. This arrangement 
considerably reduces the number of look up tables required
for a given processor, reducing memory requirement and
increasing speed.
