Abstract: Improvements relating to methods and apparatuses for kidney dialysis are disclosed. These include checking of dialysate bypass status using flow measurement; using a flow sensor to confirm the absence of ultrafiltration during bypass; automatic testing of ultrafiltration function by removal of a discrete volume from a portion of the dialysate flow path coupled with a pressure test of that part of the flow path; using a touch screen user interface; bar graph profile programming of ultrafiltration, sodium, and bicarbonate parameters; using a RAM card to upload treatment instructions to, and to download treatment data from, the machine; automatic setting of proportioning mode (acetate or bicarbonate) based on connections of concentrate lines; predicting dialysate conductivity values based on brand and formulation of concentrates; minimizing no-flow dead time between dialysate pulses; initiating operation in a timed mode from a machine power-off condition; preserving machine mode during machine power-fail condition; calibration scheduling and reminding; automatic level adjusting; and blood leak flow rate detecting. The UF profiling feature allows shifting of a proposed profile along a UF-rate axis to ensure the volume of ultrafiltrate to be removed from a patient equals a target UF volume. This feature also allows programming of the UF profile to automatically conform to the sodium profile and saving of a particular UF profile for later recall. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Video composition techniques are disclosed for processing video
information from a plurality of sources (101-104) to provide a video image (150)
having a plurality of rectangular regions. Each rectangular region displays video
information from a specific one of the plurality of video sources.

IPC: A23J7/00
Filed: 1996-06-11
Abstract: A method of the concentration of acidic phospholipids
is disclosed, which comprises a first step wherein lecithin
originating in a plant is treated with a solvent containing
from 85 to 100 % by weight of a lower alcohol and then
eliminating the solvent fraction containing said lower
alcohol to thereby give a phospholipid mixture, and a second
step wherein said phospholipid mixture is treated by using an
aqueous solution containing 75 % by weight or less of
ethanol. 
     In the method of the present invention, the water-soluble
components contained in the phospholipid mixture
obtained in the first step are efficiently removed in the
second step. Thus a lipid mixture containing acidic
phospholipids at a high concentration can be relatively
easily obtained from the lecithin originating in a plant.
This lipid mixture is useful as an emulsifier or a taste
modifier.

Inventor: HWANG JIN
IPC: H04N5/74
Filed: 1996-10-25
Abstract: Disclosed is a light projection method and a projection type image display
apparatus for performing the same. The projection type image display apparatus can
obtain a uniformity of brightness of a pixel by controlling a brightness of a screen in a
pixel unit forming an image. A micro lens array is installed to the front surface of an
actuated mirror array. A light generated from a light source of optical energy is
transformed to a parallel light by a field lens, and the transformed parallel light is
condensed in the pixel unit by a micro lens corresponding to an individual pixel unit. The
condensed light passing through the micro lens is reflected from a mirror of the actuated
mirror array. The reflected light passes through another micro lens adjacent to the micro
lens and forms an image on a screen. As a result, a light modulation in the individual
pixel unit can be accomplished with ease. Also, the brightness of an image displayed on a
screen is increased by concentrating with the micro lens and reflecting it. Also, a color
filter is installed to the front of the micro lens. The color filter only allows for red, blue
and green light to penetrate. The actuated mirror array controls the light path
corresponding to the individual color. Therefore, a color image can be formed by using a
single actuated mirror array.

IPC: H04N1/48
Filed: 1996-03-04
Abstract: Apparatus is described for processing a digitized image signal
obtained from an image sensor having color photosites aligned in rows and
columns that generate at least three separate color values but only one color
value for each photosite location, means for interpolating color values for each
photosite location so that it has three different color values. The apparatus
includes an image buffer for storing the digitized image signal and a processor
operative with the buffer storing means for generating an appropriate color
value missing from a photosite location by the interpolation of an additional
color value for such photosite locations from color values of different colors
than the missing color value at nearby photosite locations. The processor
further includes a structure for obtaining Laplacian second-order values in at
least two image directions from nearby photosites of the same column and row
and which structure is responsive to the Laplacian second-order values for
selecting a preferred orientation for the interpolation of the missing color
value and for interpolating the missing color value from nearby multiple color
values selected to agree with the preferred orientation.

Abstract: A method of forming array circuitry at a surface of a substrate, the array including a
first conductive layer with M scan lines (20,30,22), a second conductive layer with N data lines
(24,32,26), and cell circuitry for a region (34) in which the  m th scan line and the  n th data line
cross. The cell circuitry includes a component (40) with a data lead for receiving signals from
or providing signals to the nth data line (32). A first semiconductor layer (42) of the cell
circuitry includes a first line with a channel (46) between a connecting point (D1) to the  n th
data line and a connecting point (D2) to the component's data lead. A second semiconductor
layer (44) includes a second line extending from a connecting point (D3) to the  m th scan line
and crossing the first line (42) at the channel (46). The first and second conductive layers and
the cell circuitry are formed with electrical connections at the connecting points so that
signals on the  m th scan line control conductivity of the first line between the  n th data line and
the data lead. The semiconductor layers can be polysilicon. The first semiconductor layer (42)
can be formed before the second semiconductor layer (44), with the first line electrically
connected to the data lead by implanting a dopant. The connections to the  m th scan line and
the  n th data line can be metal/semiconductor interfaces, with the first conductive layer
deposited on the second line and with the second conductive layer deposited on the first line
through an opening in an insulating layer.
Patent EP-0780826-A3 (EP)
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 1996-12-04
Abstract: To provide a driving method of a liquid crystal display device 
which method is superior in image quality and reliability and can reduce 
the power consumption even if the gate line load is increased as a result 
of increased size of a display screen, improved resolution, and an 
increased aperture ratio in an active matrix liquid crystal display 
device in which switching elements such as thin-film transistors (TFTs) 
and pixel electrodes are arranged in matrix form.  
     In a first frame, occurrence of a DC component due to gate delaying 
is prevented by outputting a compensation voltage at the same timing as a 
gate-off timing so as to attain a condition of ΔV = 0. In a second 
frame, a second compensation voltage is output so that ΔV becomes a 
target value. Since the second output is not influenced by the gate 
delaying, ΔV can be made large.

Abstract: After a running stop command is released, a pump P2 for
transferring a solution from the absorber 2 to a regenerator 3 is kept

from a refrigerant during non-operation of the refrigerator. The solution
saved in the regenerator 3 remains at as a high concentration of the
absorbent as that before the end of the operation while the refrigerant is
saved in an evaporator 1. This enables the refrigerator to restart its
normal operation corresponding to an operation start command.
