Abstract: A handle assembly for a sports racquet having a head portion. The
handle assembly includes an elongate handle (24), a pallet (26), a pad (40) and a cover layer (42). The
elongate handle is coupled to the head portion (12). The pallet is coupled to and
longitudinally extends along the handle. The pallet has a proximal portion, a distal
portion and a gripping portion disposed between the proximal and distal portions. The
gripping portion is stepped down with respect to the proximal and distal portions to
form a peripheral recess (38). The pad has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner
surface of the pad is coupled to the gripping portion of the pallet. The cover layer

Abstract: Repeater, auch solche mit digitaler Signalverarbeitung, sind bekannt. Der wesentliche Nachteil dieser digitalen Repeater liegt darin, dass die Rechenkomplexität bzw. die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit sehr groß sein muss, um insbesondere bei der Echokompensation dafür zu sorgen, dass die notwendige Verzögerung nicht die Leistungsfähigkeit zu sehr beeinträchtigt. Um die Struktur des Repeaters derart auszugestalten, dass einerseits die Rechenkomplexität verringert ist, andererseits diese Verringerung nicht auf Kosten der Leistungsfähigkeit bei der Signalfilterung und/oder Unterdrückung der Eigenschwingung geht, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass zur Bandpassfilterung, adaptiven Vorentzerrung und Unterdrückung der Eigenschwingung, die Komponenten des Repeaters im Uplink-Zweig und Downlink-Zweig, wobei die Kopplung der beide Repeaterzweige an die Antennen mit Duplex-Filtern erfolgt, in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge angeordnet sind und wobei zur Anpassung an anwenderspezifische Anforderungen lediglich eine Umkonfiguration in den Modulen beim Anwender erforderlich ist.

Title: Magnetic resonance method
Inventor: ZWANENBURG JACOBUS J M
IPC: G01R33/561
Filed: 2002-12-16
Abstract: A novel magnetic resonance imaging method is presented to produce a magnetic resonance image, wherein a stationary magnetic field and temporary magnetic gradient fields are applied. A sensitivity distribution (W(p)) maps the receiver sensitivity values of the receiver antennae system in an image domain. Transposition values (p(x)) map the positions in a spatial domain onto pixels (voxels) in the image domain on the basis of actual values of the stationary magnetic field and the temporary gradient fields. A folded image having aliased pixels (voxels) is then reconstructed from the magnetic resonance signals on the basis of a spatial encoding induced by the temporary magnetic field gradients. The aliased pixels (voxels) in the folded image are unfolded on the basis of the spatial receiver sensitivity map onto the respective signal distributions originating from different positions in the spatial domain so as to reconstruct the magnetic resonance image.

Abstract: The invention provides novel vectors derived from
adenovirus which are specifically suitable for use in methods
of gene therapy. 
     The vectors have a deletion compared to wild-type
adenovirus in that the E1 region is not present in a
functional manner. 
     Additionally the vectors are characterized in that they
do contain a part of the E3 region of adenovirus which is
biologically functional. This results in vectors which do
normally not lead to expression of adenoviral proteins, but
which in the cases where such proteins do become expressed
will repress the host's immunological response to said
proteins. Thereby host cells infected (provided) with the
vector will live longer. Therefor the product introduced into
said cells providing the therapy will be produced in larger
amounts, or at least for a prolonged period. Preferably the
vector comprises genetic information for antisense therapy, or
for genes which will combat tumors, such as genes encoding
cytokines, preferably IL-1, or so called suicide genes, such
as Herpes Simplex Virus thymidine kinase. 
     Methods for producing said vectors and methods of gene
therapy or uses therein are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and methodology facilitating storage, access, and version control of PLC-based images. An object is provided that mediates access between a database server and an application that desires access to such images. Before access can be achieved, a login and authentication process for a user desiring access to the image database is performed, wherein users who are successfully authenticated can then save, retrieve, and affect changes to the images in a substantially secure manner while enforcing protection against invalid or improper changes to the images. The object is adapted to store the images as a complete or compiled version of the elements required to operate a PLC program. Since PLC images are different than standard data types that are typically stored, a check-sum procedure is performed on the image to determine if changes are made. If changes are made, a metadata file that is associated with the image can log relevant change information and bump an associated revision information for the image thus facilitating automated an orderly control over who, how, when, and where such revisions can be made.
