Inventor: GAWAD SHADY
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2004-10-16
Abstract: Method for the discrimination of particles, preferably biological cells, in a
measurement channel by impedance spectroscopy. The channel encloses a
liquid for transporting the particles for use in a microfabricated flow cytometer. A
pair of measurement electrodes and a pair of reference electrodes are arranged
in the measurement channel for providing a measurement volume between the
electrodes. During movement of one particle through the pair of measurement
electrodes; the pairs of measurement and the reference electrodes are admitted
with same input signals having different frequencies and the respective
measurement values are determined. The measurement values obtained at the
measurement electrodes are compared with the measurement values obtained at
the reference electrodes for the determination of particle specific values
dependent of the frequencies of the input signals of the particle being moved
through the measurement channel. Then the particle specific values received at
different frequencies are normalized to a particle specific basic value at a basic
frequency; and finally the normalized particle specific values are compared with
corresponding values of at least one reference particle at the same different
frequencies in dependence of the particle specific basic value at a basic
frequency. The comparison shows in relation to the reference values changes in
the capacitance or in the conductance of the particle. In connection with the
discrimination of cells these changes correspond with changes in the membrane
or the cytoplasm, respectively.

Abstract: For interlaced B-fields or interlaced B-frames, forward motion vectors are predicted by an encoder/decoder using forward motion vectors from a forward motion vector buffer, and backward motion vectors are predicted using backward motion vectors from a backward motion vector buffer. The resulting motion vectors are added to the corresponding buffer. Holes in motion vector buffers can be filled in with estimated motion vector values. An encoder/decoder switches prediction modes between fields in a field-coded macroblock of an interlaced B-frame. For interlaced B-frames and interlaced B-fields, an encoder/decoder computes direct mode motion vectors. For interlaced B-fields or interlaced B-frames, an encoder/decoder uses 4MV coding. An encoder/decoder uses “self-referencing” B-frames. An encoder sends binary information indicating whether a prediction mode is forward or not-forward for one or more macroblocks in an interfaced B-fields. An encoder/decoder uses intra-coded B-fields [“Bl-fields”].
