Abstract: A method, apparatus and article of manufacture is provided for automatic insertion of a compressed GOP offset table within a previously encoded MPEG video file, for frame accurate random access of each individual video frame in play-from-offset mode. The method creates a compressed GOP offset table having an entry for each GOP header of every video packet of the MPEG video file, and modifies the MPEG video file by inserting the compressed GOP offset table before the MPEG video file as at least one padding packet, thereby preserving the MPEG compliance and compressed audio/video data of the MPEG video file. The method further has a step for estimating a number of padding packets needed for the GOP offset table, thereby limiting the MPEG video file reading to a single read.

Abstract: The blocks to be sent on one or more physical channels for packet mode transmission pertain to several temporary block flows to terminals. The terminals are distributed into several subscription classes corresponding to various priority levels and each associated with a throughput restriction parameter. Transmission throug hputs allocated to the flows as a function of transmission throughputs respectively requested during the creation of the flows and restriction parameters associated with the subscription classes are determined. At least one traffic channel supported by a physical channel is allotted to each new flow created. For each send period on a physical channel, a flow to which a traffic channel supported by this physical channel is allotted, is selected with the aid of the values of the transmission throughputs allocated, so as to send a block of the selected flow in the course of said period.

Abstract: A digital interface between analogue RF hardware and digital processing hardware which (a) defines how the analogue RF hardware and digital processing hardware send and receive digital data to one another and (b) is open in order to decouple the design of the analogue RF hardware from the design of the digital processing hardware. The adoption of such an interface will facilitate the uptake of software defined radio (SDR), both as a design-time and run-time technology, as it enables the production of analogue/RF components independently from the digital domain hardware and software.

Further, the use of a PYK2 protein and a nucleic acid coding therefor as a target for the modulation of the MAP kinase pathway is described. By inhibiting HER3 kinase activity, the phosphorylation of PYK2 and thus the stimulation of the MAP kinase pathway is inhibited. The present invention is preferably suitable for applications, particularly diagnostic or medical applications, wherein an inhibition of the MAP kinase pathway is desired. Thus, the invention relates to novel methods for diagnosing, treating or preventing MAP kinase associated disorders such as tumors.

Abstract: Methods and formulations for enhancing the dissolution of a solid material in an aqueous solution incorporate an effervescent system into the material. Effervescent systems include (i) the combination of one or more enzymes and one or more substrates for said enzymes and (ii) a metal ion catalyst and a substrate for that metal ion catalyst. The combination of either (i) the enzyme and the substrate or (i) metal ion catalyst and substrate is capable of producing a gas when the material is in an aqueous solution. The effervescent system is particularly suited for incorporation into laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents, antacids, vitamins, contact lens cleaners, denture cleaners and other household products. It is believed that the gas produced by the interaction of the enzyme or metal ion catalyst and the appropriate substrate enhances and facilitates dissolution of the material by increasing the surface area of the material that is in contact with the aqueous medium.
