Title: Method and system for representing a data set with a data transforming function and data mask
Inventor: BARNSLEY MICHAEL F
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1996-03-27
Granted: 1998-12-24
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for representing a data set by selecting a data transformation function and a data masking function. Preferably, the data set transformation and data masking functions are used to generate an attractor that more accurately represents the data set than an attractor generated by the data transformation function alone. The data masking function is a set of exclusionary data elements which are used to terminate data transformations for data elements which generate the attractor. Preferably, the data masking function is defined as a polygon for a two dimensional space. When the data masking function is incorporated with the data transformation function, the attractor normally produced by the data set transformation function is constrained to more accurately represent the data set. The data masking function may be used with any data transformation function including those comprised of complex, projective, affine maps, fractal transform, or fractal transform error function transformations. Deterministic and random iterative methods may be used to generate the constrained attractor that represents the data set to be represented.

Title: Subunit vaccine against flavivirus infection
Inventor: IVY JOHN M
IPC: C07K16/10
Filed: 1996-05-24
Granted: 2000-03-02
Abstract: The Flaviviridae comprise a number of medically important pathogens that cause significant morbidity in humans including the dengue (DEN) virus, Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus, tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBE), and yellow fever virus (YF). Flaviviruses are generally transmitted to vertebrates by chronically infected mosquito or tick vectors. The viral particle which is enveloped by host cell membranes, comprises a single positive strand genomic RNA and the structural capsid (CA), membrane (M), and envelope (E) proteins. The E and M proteins are found on the surface of the virion where they are anchored in the membrane. Mature E is glycosylated and contains functional domains responsible for cell surface attachment and intraendosomal fusion activities. Problems have arisen in the art with respect to producing recombinant forms of the E glycoprotein that retain their native configuration and attendant properties associated therewith (i.e., ability to induce neutralizing antibody responses). To date, recombinantly produced E glycoproteins have suffered from a number of limitations including improper glycosylation, folding, and disulfide bond formation. The claimed invention has addressed these concerns by providing secreted recombinant forms of the E glycoprotein that are highly immunogenic and appear to retain their native configuration. Carboxy-terminally truncated forms of E containing the amino terminal 395 amino acids and a suitable secretion signal sequence were generated in Drosophila melanogaster Schneider cell lines. Immunogenic compositions comprising these recombinant envelope glycoproteins were capable of inducing protective, neutralizing antibody responses when administered to a suitable host.

Granted: 1990-06-21
Abstract: A semiconductor mounting system is provided for the detachable surface mounting of one or more semiconductor dies on a conductor substrate, such as a ceramic substrate or printed circuit board. The system employs a resilient, anisotropic conductor pad (10) which is interposed between the semiconductor die (20) and the conductor substrate (22) The conductor pad is capable of conducting electric signals in one direction only, and insulates in the other two orthogonal directions. Thus, by compressing the semiconductor die and resilient conductor pad against the conductor substrate, electrical contact is established between contacts on the semiconductor die and corresponding contacts on the conductor substrate. In the preferred embodiment, additional conductor pads are placed over the semiconductor dies, and a heat sink placed over the second conductor pads. In this way, the semiconductor dies are mounted in a resilient structure for protection, while heat dissipation is enhanced by the metallic elements in the second conductor pad.

Title: Photosensor system and drive control method thereof
Inventor: NAKAMURA YOSHIAKI
IPC: H04N5/367
Filed: 2000-10-19
Granted: 2003-01-16
Abstract: A photosensor system having a photosensor array constituted by two-dimensionally arraying a plurality of photosensors includes a driver circuit for supplying a drive signal to the photosensors, and a controller for controlling reading operation of a subject image and sensitivity setting. Before the start of normal reading operation of a subject image, prereading operation of changing the image reading sensitivity at a plurality of stages for respective rows is executed. A row in an optimal image reading state is easily determined based on the dynamic range distribution of the lightness data of read image data or a dynamic range distribution from which an abnormal value deviating from the main change trend of lightness data is removed, and the linearly differentiated value of the dynamic range. An image reading sensitivity set for this row is set as an optimal sensitivity. This can simplify sensitivity setting processing and shorten the required time.
