The wavelet transform is further conducted and then the third
layer image (WI3) is obtained. Thereinafter, the image is
processed in a quantizer and so forth and finally a coded
image in JPEG 2000 is generated. On the other hand, if an
image of a relatively small size is required, the
intermediate image II recorded in the intermediate image
memory 28 is used as a new original image (40) and coded,

Abstract: A cardiac stimulation device (10), a His Bundle lead (21) and an
associated method for detecting a conduction signal from the His Bundle are
provided. Upon this detection, the stimulation device (10) delivers ventricular
stimulation to the right and/or left ventricles at an interval following the atrial
depolarization. A sensing window (630) is initiated following the sensing of
the atrial depolarization. During the sensing windows, the His Bundle signal
received through the His Bundle lead is sampled (635) and a moving average is
calculated to determine a signal peak. Detection of the His Bundle signal peak
triggers (640) ventricular stimulation (650), which may be delivered to the right
ventricle, the left ventricle, or both ventricles.

Abstract: Even when both a digital audio signal and an analog audio signal are inputted, a type of inputted digital audio signal is identified, and an internal signal path is automatically switched based on the result of the identification operation and previously set content. A main storage of a host microcomputer 12 stores signal path information indicating a signal path to be selected for each type of digital audio signal inputted from each external AV apparatus. A DIR 3 identifies the type of digital audio signal inputted from a digital input terminal 1. The host microcomputer 12 switches an A/D switching selector 4 and an analog direct/DSP process switching selector 7 respectively so that a signal path corresponding to the type of signal shown in the result of an identification operation of the DIR 3 is selected, based on the signal path information.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions useful for detecting mutations which cause Familial Dysautonomia. Familial dysautonomia (FD; Riley-Day syndrome), an Ashkenazi Jewish disorder, is the best known and most frequent of a group of congenital sensory neuropathies and is characterized by widespread sensory and variable autonomic dysfunction. Previously, we mapped the FD gene, DYS, to a 0.5 cM region of chromosome 9q31 and showed that the ethnic bias is due to a founder effect, with >99.5% of disease alleles sharing a common ancestral haplotype. To investigate the molecular basis of FD, we sequenced the minimal candidate region and cloned and characterized its 5 genes. One of these, IKBKAP, harbors two mutations that can cause FD. The major haplotype mutation is located in the donor splice site of intron 20. This mutation can result in skipping of exon 20 in the mRNA from FD patients, although they continue to express varying levels of wild-type message in a tissue-specific manner. RNA isolated from patient lymphoblasts is primarily wild-type, whereas only the deleted message is seen in RNA isolated from brain. The mutation associated with the minor haplotype in four patients is a missense (R696P) mutation in exon 19 that is predicted to disrupt a potential phosphorylation site. Our findings indicate that almost all cases of FD are caused by an unusual splice defect that displays tissue-specific expression; and they also provide the basis for rapid carrier screening in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.
