Inventor: ROGERS KELLY
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 2011-03-25
Abstract: The present invention relates a method to determine the presence of a photon producing biological marker in a cell, tissue or organism of interest. The method is based on Fluorescence by Unbound Excitation from Luminescence (FUEL) and comprises the steps of a) providing conditions suitable for the biological marker to produce at least one first photon by luminescence; b) providing a FUEL probe pair-upper (FPP-U) disposed in proximity to the cell, tissue or organism, wherein the at least one first photon of step a) excites the FPP-U, which emits at least one second photon. The FPP-U may be selected from the group of quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, fluorescent proteins, diamond nanocrystals and metalloporphyrins. This method is charcterized in that said biological marker and said FPP-U are not bound and in that each of the at least one second photon (s) are of a longer wavelength than each of the at least one first photon (s).

Title: Image processing device and image processing method
Inventor: SATO KAZUSHI
IPC: H04N7/32
Filed: 2011-07-26
Abstract: A motion vector number limit setup portion (35) of the present invention sets, according to microblock size, a maximum value for the number of motion vectors. A motion prediction/compensation portion (32) detects the optimal prediction mode, wherein the number of motion vectors does not exceed the maximum value, and generates a predictive image after compensating the motion of a reference image through the use of the motion vector of the detected optimal prediction mode. By setting, according to microblock size, a maximum value for the number of motion vectors, it is possible, when using an expanded microblock, to prevent picture quality decline or the like, with the number of motion vectors not being limited any more than necessary.

Abstract: Methods of synthesis of scyllitol diborate and related compounds are provided, including methods that are performed in all-aqueous solutions. Also provided are methods in which the reaction products are recycled to increase the efficiency of the process. The methods include the steps of conversion of a solution of inositol to scyllitol, conversion of scyllitol in the solution to scyllitol diborate, and isolation of the scyllitol diborate from the solution. The scyllitol diborate is reacted to form substantially pure scyllitol diborate, and the remaining solution is efficiently recycled to scyllitol diborate, then to additional substantially pure scyllitol. This scyllitol diborate recycling step can be applied to a variety of processes to improve the yield of scyllitol. The methods are highly efficient and result in large scale reaction products of high purity.

Abstract: Arcuate, lightweight composite panels, which are transportable on flatbed trucks, are interconnected onsite for forming a temporary fluid tank.  A  shaped groove along one end of the panel and a shaped tongue along an opposing end of the panel permit a panel to be lifted vertically above and offset another of the panels and then slid axially together, with the tongue of one panel engaged in the groove of the adjacent panel. If the ground on which the tank is to be assembled is uneven, the panels can be misaligned vertically along the interconnected tongue and groove to accommodate the unevenness of the ground. Where the tank does not engage the ground about the entire bottom edge, a liner can be placed inside the tank and connected to the tank using a hook and loop fastening system.

Title: Single cord operated clutch for roller blind
Inventor: NG PHILIP
IPC: E06B9/42
Filed: 2013-06-14
Abstract: A clutch for a roller blind. The clutch comprises a drive shaft operatively connected to a drive mechanism, an idle shaft releasably coupled to the drive shaft, and a drive spring. The drive mechanism imparts rotational movement to the drive shaft. The idle shaft is operatively connected to the tube of the roller blind such that rotation of the idle shaft causes rotation of the roller blind tube. The drive spring is operatively associated with the idle shaft and with the drive shaft such that rotation of the drive shaft in a first direction causes the drive spring to impart rotational movement to the idle shaft, thereby causing rotation of the roller blind tube. When the drive shaft is rotated in a second opposite direction the drive spring permits the drive shaft to rotate independently of the idle shaft.
