Patent EP-1891621-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RAMAN NALLIAH
IPC: G09G3/34
Filed: 2006-05-29
Abstract: A dual display device for displaying an input image includes first and second displays. The first display is arranged for modulating an image from the second display. The dual display device further includes a processor having an image splitter which splits the input image into illumination and reflection images according to a retinex algorithm. The reflection image is displayed on the first display and the illumination image is displayed on the second display. Due to the series arrangement of the two displays, the input image is substantially recreated. The illumination image typically is a spatially low-resolution image derived from the input image.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé permettant de proposer une variante de requête de recherche pour une requête de recherche prédite. Ledit procédé consiste tout d'abord à recevoir une requête de recherche d'un noeud client. Il consiste ensuite, avant la réception d'une indication émanant du noeud client et spécifiant que la requête de recherche a été saisie en entier, à mettre en oeuvre les étapes suivantes : (1) déterminer une requête de recherche prédite, en prédisant ce que sera la requête de recherche une fois saisie en entier ; et (2) déterminer une variante de requête de recherche, qui diffère de la requête de recherche prédite, sur la base de la requête de recherche prédite. Le procédé consiste ensuite à fournir la variante de requête de recherche au noeud client. La variante de requête de recherche peut prendre la forme d'une entrée que la fin de la saisie de la requête de recherche par l'utilisateur a peu de chances de donner. Par exemple, en réponse à la saisie, par l'utilisateur, de la requête de recherche 'brittany sp', une variante de requête de recherche avec la suggestion orthographique 'britney spears' est déterminée et fournie à l'utilisateur.

IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2006-12-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to a battery charge circuit (100) in a charge-and-play mode capable to reliably determine the completion of a battery charging operation has been described. Such a determination takes into account the behavior of the battery charge circuit (100) with respect to the temperature, the activity of the circuitry (30) and the source current limitation. Thus, a distinction can be made between a decrease of the battery charge current ICHG below the end-of-charge current level caused by the full-charge state of the battery (20) and by the activation of temperature and current regulation circuits. Furthermore, the battery charge circuit (100) is also configured such that it can be warned both that the activity of the circuitry (30) is to be limited and, by a timer (800) measuring the time interval during which the battery charge current ICHG has been reduced to zero, that the battery (20) is being discharged.

Abstract: La méthylation globale de l'ADN constitue un élément de prédiction d'une maladie agressive chez des patients souffrant d'une leucémie lymphocytaire chronique. Plus la méthylation de l'ADN est élevée, plus le patient est susceptible de nécessiter une thérapie systémique. Bien qu'il y ait une baisse progressive de la méthylation globale de l'ADN avec l'âge chez des individus normaux, l'indice de méthylation ne diminue que d'à peu près 0,03 par décade. On a effectué une étude pilote dans laquelle des patients souffrant d'une leucémie lymphocytaire chronique ont été traités avec de faibles doses d'inhibiteurs de la méthylation de l'ADN pour évaluer si l'inhibition de la méthylation de l'ADN peut se traduire par un bénéfice clinique. On a observé que l'inhibition de la méthylation de l'ADN conduit à la ré-expression de suppresseurs de tumeur et à un fonctionnement cellulaire normal. A de faibles dosages non toxiques de 0,05-0,09 mg par kilogramme et par jour pendant trois jours tous les 28 jours, on a observé que certains patients souffrant d'une leucémie lymphocytaire chronique parvenaient à une réduction des cellules leucémiques en circulation. On a observé que ceci était corrélé à une réduction de la méthylation globale de l'ADN et à une modification de la méthylation des histones de la particule cœur.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une structure séparable (10) comprenant une matière composite qui est séparée ou endommagée par une matière pyrotechnique réactive. Selon un mode de réalisation, la structure comprend une paire de parties de structure stratifiées composites (12, 14), comprenant chacune de multiples couches de matière composite (16, 18). Les parties s'étendent chacune vers une zone de recouvrement (20), à l'intérieur de laquelle les couches composites des deux parties de structure peuvent être placées en alternance, l'une recouvrant l'autre. Une matière réactive (24) est également placée à l'intérieur de cette zone de recouvrement, par exemple en couches (29) entre les paires des couches de matière composite. La matière réactive peut être mise à feu pour provoquer la destruction de la matière pyrotechnique et d'une matrice ou matière en résine des couches de matières composites dans la zone de recouvrement. Ceci provoque la séparation de la structure le long d'une ligne de séparation à l'intérieur de la zone de recouvrement. La séparation peut avoir lieu sans avoir besoin d'endommager les fibres de la matière composite.
