IPC: H04N7/167
Filed: 2008-02-14
Abstract: A method and system for scrambling visual information are, described. An image, preferably in an incompressed format, is divided in to n number of patterns having a different aspect ratio. Each pattern is mapped on a matrix i.e positioned on X and Y-axis. The patterns are then arranged in a different and new shape for e.g. a rectangle, preferably, fitting the size of manoblocks in a MPEG video, to that of the original shape of the image but having the same number of patterns or same area. The patterns of pixels are then relocated in the new shape and a matrix is again mapped for the new arrangement of patterns. A key is then generated comprising the information of the encrypted and earlier image. The player decrypts the encrypted visual content or image by means of the information provided by the key.

Abstract: A pneumatic fastener driving tool is configured to drive a threaded fastener using both linear and rotational motion.  The tool allows a fastener to first be driven linearly, without rotation, through a surface material and into a substrate material, preferably to a depth that causes the fastener to at least pierce the substrate material. The tool then rotates the threaded fastener and causes it to fully engage the substrate material, thereby fastening the surface material to the substrate material. The tool has sufficient linear force to drive a fastener into relatively hard substrate materials, such as steel studs, and has a stationary air motor assembly to reduce recoil generated during the driving process. The tool further comprises a gear reducer assembly that uses a compound planetary gear in order to reduce the overall length of the tool.

Abstract: A method for determining the location and height of a fracture in a subterranean formation using a neutron emitting logging tool. The method includes obtaining a pre-fracture data set, fracturing the formation with a slurry that includes a proppant doped with a high thermal neutron capture cross-section material, obtaining a post-fracture data set, comparing the pre-fracture data set and the post-fracture data set to determine the location of the proppant, and correlating the location of the proppant to a depth measurement of the borehole to determine the location and height of the fracture. Using the PNC tool, it is also possible to determine whether the proppant is located in the fracture, in the borehole adjacent to the fracture, or in both. The method may also include a plurality of post-fracture logging procedures used to determine various fracture and production characteristics in the formation.

IPC: A61K31/385

Abstract: A pharmaceutically-acceptable modulator of the structure, activity, or expression level of an enzyme complex, such as the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PD) complex, in the mitochondria of warm-blooded ani-mals, including humans, and methods of use thereof, comprises an effective amount of at least one lipoic acid derivative and at least one pharma-ceutically-acceptable carrier thereof. By preventing the detoxification of toxic metabolites of anaerobic glycolysis through inhibition of the activity of the PD complex E1.alpha. subunit, the modulator increases PD kinase activity and concomitantly decreases PD phosphatase activity, obliging increased oxidative phosphorylation activity in the mitochondrion. As a cell charac-terized by hyperprolif eration, such as a tumor cell, cannot also generate acetyl-CoA and NADH because of the action of the modulator in inhibiting the action of the E2 subunit of the PD complex, the mitochondrial mem-brane polarization is lost, facilitating cell death.

Abstract: A permanently attachable, 4 wheel and a 3 wheel version of golf push carts wherein, when the cart is collapsed, the two rear cart wheels fold flat underneath the golf bag, within the "foot print" of the golf bag. In case of 4 wheel cart, the two front wheels are mounted on either side of the cart base and in the case of 3 wheel cart, the front wheel, in closed position, sits in front of the cart base and when opened, moves in front of the cart base with wheel plane parallel to the direction of push. The cart legs, cart handle and the interconnecting linkages hang parallel or near parallel to the axis of the golf bag form one side of the bag. The golf cart, therefore, folds more or less within the envelope of the bag, adding marginally to its length (by the width of the tow wheels) and width at the base to accommodate the front wheels.   To unfold the cart, all that the user has to do is to swing the cart handle upwards. The cart legs spread out in front of the cart and the wheel forks, which carry the cart wheels, through various actuating linkages, are caused to rotate around their axes so that, in the open position of the cart, the two cart wheels at the end of the cart legs, come to rest in parallel planes, parallel to the direction of pull or push. Similarly, the cart is collapsed by simply swinging the cart handle downwards. In case of 3 wheel cart, an additional action of opening and closing the front wheel is needed.
