Title: Processing speech coding parameters in a telecommunication system
Inventor: VAINIO JANNE
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1996-02-28
Granted: 1999-01-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to processing speech coding parameters in a telecommunication system. The speech coding parameters of a speech frame, produced by a speech encoder, are divided into groups, i.e. so-called virtual channels, in which speech parameter error correction, channel coding and processing of error-free or erroneous speech parameters are performed independently. At the receiving end, the processing (505) of erroneous and error-free speech parameters can thus be controlled independently on each virtual transmission channel (502) according to the quality of each virtual transmission channel. The speech parameters of the high-quality virtual channels of a speech frame can thus be processed as error-free, replacing the speech coding parameters of the low-quality virual channels only. The independently processed (505) speech parameters of the virtual channels are thus reassembled (507) into a speech frame, which is applied to decoding. Since part of the information of also erroneous speech frames is utilized, the use of speech information received from a transmission channel can be increased in speech decoding, which reduces for instance interruptions occurring in speech as compared with a situation where all speech frames erroneous even to a slight degree were discarded. The increased and more focused error indication also reduces the number of undetected errors and thus reduces significantly the worst audible disturbances.

Title: A method of automatically milking aniamals and a fully automatic milking machine suitable for performing same
Inventor: LELY ALEXANDER VAN DER
IPC: A01J7/00
Filed: 1999-09-10
Granted: 2003-06-26
Abstract: In a method of automatically milking animals which are allowed to visit individually a milking parlour comprising a milking robot and an animal identification system, an animal visiting the milking parlour is milked when since the previous milking of the relevant animal at least a specific number of milkings (Q) of other animals has taken place. On the basis of at least one animal parameter a milking number (x) is allotted to each animal, which milking number (x) indicates how often the relevant animal has to be milked per unit of time. The specific number of milkings (Q) for each animal is calculated as a function of the corresponding milking number (x). As a result of the fact that the threshold value of the milking criterion depends on an individual target number for the number of milkings of the relevant animal, a desired number of milkings per unit of time can be achieved for each animal.

Title: Process of high purity albumin production
Inventor: GOODEY ANDREW ROBERT
IPC: C12N1/19
Filed: 1996-02-29
Granted: 1998-10-29
Abstract: A process is provided for the preparation of albumin which has extremely low levels of or is essentially free of colorants, metal ions, human proteins, host proteins, fragments of albumin, polymers or aggregates of albumin and viruses, and which is essentially non-glycated, relatively high in free thiol and with an intact C-terminus. The process comprises passing albumin (preferably expressed and secreted by transformed yeast) through positive mode cation exchange and then positive mode anion exchange chromatography. Other steps may also be employed, for example ultrafiltration, gel permeation chromatography, affinity chromatography binding the albumin (for example using blue dyes) and affinity chromatography binding contaminants (for example using an aminophenylboronic acid resin). Elution of albumin, with a compound having affinity for albumin, from a material having no specific affinity for albumin is also disclosed, as is removal of ammonium ions with a counter-ion. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1998-06-11
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP96/01212 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 11, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 11, 1997 PCT Filed Mar. 20, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/30985 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 3, 1996The RF-proof cable penetration having a seal (9) for shielded cables, having a tubular threaded stub (7) which is to be inserted into a bore, and a locking nut (10) which is to be tightened onto the threaded stub, and having an annular clamping disk (8) which is forced, by a pinch seal (9) which is to be pressed on by the locking nut (10), against an annular shoulder on the threaded stub (7), is equipped according to the invention with a shielding sleeve (4) which has at least one radially projecting shoulder (6) at the front of the inner end. Furthermore, a stamping sleeve (5) is present which is to be pushed over the shielding sleeve (4) on the outside of the cable shield (3). In order to ensure a certain axial displaceability of the cable during mounting, the preassembled cable, provided with shielding sleeve (4) and mounted stamping sleeve (5), can be displaced axially relative to the threaded stub (7) owing to the fact that an annular shoulder has a continuous axial recess (12) in the interior of the threaded stub (7). By contrast with known EMC-capable cable threaded unions, the invention has the advantage that during the process of working the cable "fraying" of the shielding braid (3) is impossible on the cable, and parts of the shielding braid cannot break off, because co-rotation of the cable during tightening is prevented by latching the shielding sleeve (4) in the interior of the threaded stub (7). The time for mounting the cable can be substantially reduced.

Title: Instrument for selecting and depositing multicellular organisms and other large objects
Inventor: HANSEN W PETER
IPC: G01N33/483
Filed: 1999-08-20
Granted: 2002-11-21
Abstract: An instrument for analyzing and dispensing objects larger than about 70 mum in diameter is based on a flow cytometer with a novel fluidic switch arrangement for diverting a portion of a sample stream in response to detector signals in a flow cell. The instrument is particularly adapted for dispensing multicellular test organisms like nematodes or large microspheres for use in screening large libraries of potential pharmaceutical agents. Hydrodynamic focussing is used to center and align the objects in the flow cell. The objects pass through a sensing zone where optical or other characteristics of the objects are detected. The detector signals are processed and used to operate a fluidic switch that is located downstream from the sensing zone. The fluid stream containing the detected objects emerges from the flow cell into air where a fluid stream controlled by the fluidic switch diverts portions of the stream containing no sample objects or sample objects not meeting predetermined characteristics. The undiverted sample stream deposits selected sample objects into a plurality of containers.

Granted: 1997-09-04
Abstract: A method for aiding in the diagnosis of, and monitoring the progression or course of, colon cancer in a patient by measuring the amount of NCA 50/90 in a blood sample, e.g., serum sample, obtained from the patient. Measurement in a single sample of an amount of NCA 50/90 significantly higher than the mean amount of NCA 50/90 in the normal population is an indication of colon cancer in a symptomatic patient. The course of colon cancer can also be monitored by performing a series of specific immunoassays over time to determine changes in the level of NCA 50/90 in blood samples. Increases in blood NCA 50/90 levels over time are indicative of a deteriorating condition whereas decreasing levels of blood NCA 50/90 over time indicate an improving condition.
