Abstract: A tone correction system, method and interface is described in which a digital image is initially filtered to obtain a corresponding locally averaged value for each pixel value of the image. The image is optimally filtered using a cone-type filter having a small filter radius and which favorably weights the center pixel values of the radius. Shadow and highlight values are obtained from selected shadow and highlight functions, respectively, using the locally averaged values. A tone function is derived from each of the shadow an highlight values for each pixel. Each pixel value of the image is then remapped according to its derived shadow and highlight tone functions. The tone corrected image can be reinteratively corrected by adjusting parameters of the shadow and highlight functions and remapping the image data until a desired image quality is achieved.

Abstract: In order to obtain a novel binding protein against a chosen target, DNA molecules, each encoding a protein comprising one of a family of similar potential binding domains and a structural signal calling for the display of the protein on the outer surface of a chosen bacterial cell, bacterial spore or phage (genetic package) are introduced into a genetic package. The protein is expressed and the potential binding domain is displayed on the outer surface of the package. The cells or viruses bearing the binding domains which recognise the target molecule are isolated and amplified. The successful binding domains are then characterised. One or more of these successful binding domains is used as a model for the design of a new family of potential binding domains, and the process is repeated until a novel binding domain having a desired affinity for the target molecule is obtained. In one embodiment, the first family of potential binding domains is related to bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, the genetic package is M 13 phage, and the protein includes the outer surface transport signal of the M 13 gene III protein.

Date Nov. 28, 1991.There are disclosed variations on a basic technique for forming a diffusion or rear-projection screen comprising an array of microlenses formed by selective light exposure and consequent selective polymerization of a sheet of photopolymerizable material. Thus, the lenses may be made elongate in a preferred direction transverse to the lens axes by exposure through a mesh formed with an array of slots. The lenses may be graded refractive index lenses having a surface relief adding to the lens power, such relief being formed naturally or by molding. The photopolymerizable material may be exposed by laser light, for example to a holographic pattern and such exposure may be made through a quarter-wave plate continuously rotated to eliminate micro defects. Enhanced lens powers may be achieved by heating the photopolymerizable material to close to the softening temperature of the associated polymer before exposure to light and maintaining the material at that temperature during the resultant polymerization.

Abstract: Subtractive CDMA demodulation optimally decodes a coded information signal embedded in many other overlapping signals making up a received, composite signal. A radio receiver correlates a unique code corresponding to the desired signal to be decoded with the composite signal. Moreover, after each information signal is successfully decoded, it is recoded and removed from the composite signal. As a result, subsequent correlations are performed with greater accuracy. Subtractive CDMA demodulation is enhanced by decoding the composite signal in the order of strongest to weakest signal strength. Interference caused by the presence of the strongest information signal and the composite signal during the decoding of weaker signals is removed. The individual information signals are assigned a unique block error correction code which is correlated with the composite signal using Fast Walsh transforms. Correlated signals are recoded using inverted Fast Walsh transforms and removed from the composite signal.

Abstract: A manually powered fastening tool which stores and instantly releases the energy of a spring such that it may force a staple type fastener into an object by an impact blow. In the present invention the squeeze handle is hinged near the end of the tool body opposite the end from which the staples exit. The user grips the tool near the staple exit end and pushes the squeeze handle toward the intended staple impact point. This novel arrangement causes the user to force the staple into the receiving object with the same hand that pushes the squeeze handle toward the tool body, while the prior art typically requires use of a second hand to hold the tool firmly upon the staple impact point. Improving from the prior art, the present design ensures that the staple exit end of the tool body will not lift away from the receiving object. The energy storage spring and handle engagement linkage are located remotely from the plunger in the present design. This allows the user to fully grip the tool near the staple exit end of the tool body. The motion of installing a staple with this novel staple gun is therefore similar to the intuitive motion used with a common desk top stapler.
