IPC: G06V30/224
Filed: 2004-12-22
Granted: 2014-02-11
Abstract: An enhanced text entry system (100) which uses word-level analysis to correct inaccuracies automatically in user keystroke entries on reduced-size or virtual keyboards (105). A method and system determine alternate textual interpretations of each sequence of inputs detected within a designated auto-correcting region (106). The actual interaction locations for the keystrokes may occur outside the boundaries of the specific keyboard key regions associated with the actual characters of the word interpretations proposed, where the distance from each interaction location to each corresponding intended character may increase with the expected frequency of the intended word in the language. Likewise, in a virtual keyboard system, the keys actuated may differ from the keys actually associated with the letters of the word interpretations.      Each such sequence corresponds to a complete word, and the user can easily select the intended word from among the generated interpretations.

Abstract: Cholesterol moieties are linked to specific ends of double-stranded RNA, preferably a small, interfering (si)RNA or to a dsHybrid. The dsHybrid has one strand comprised of DNA and one strand comprised of RNA. Preferably the sense strand is the DNA strand and the antisense strand is the RNA strand of the dsHybrid. The present invention is based upon the discovery that a cholesterol moiety, if linked to a specific end or ends of the sense or antisense strands of a siRNA, can enhance the delivery and silencing efficiency of the siRNA  directed against its target message, in comparison with a corresponding, non-conjugated siRNA. Conjugated siRNAs and dsHybrids of the invention are optionally formulated with, or coordinately administered with, a secondary delivery-enhancing agent, such as a delivery-enhancing peptide, to enhance intracellular delivery and uptake of the conjugated siRNAs or dsHybrid.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process and a device for dewatering a fiber web, especially paper web, using a vacuum. The goal of the dewatering is to achieve as high a dryness of the paper web as possible after application of the vacuum but has been limited in the past by the intensity of the vacuum and the slot width. The process and device of the invention increases and maintains the dryness after vacuum dewatering in comparison with conventional dewatering, and achieves energy savings at the vacuum pumps. The vacuum is applied to each unit of the web and pulsates between a maximum and a minimum value. Using a pulsating application of the vacuum, dewatering can be greatly improved in comparison with conventional constant application.

Title: Method for producing quenched components consisting of sheet steel
Inventor: VEHOF ROBERT
IPC: B21D22/02
Filed: 2005-08-09
Granted: 2011-04-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing quenched components consisting of sheet steel, comprising the following steps: a) shaped parts are formed from sheet steel; b) the end of the shaped part is cut and the sheet steel is optionally punched or provided with a desired hole pattern prior to, during, or after the forming of the shaped part; c) at least some sections of the shaped part are subsequently heated to a temperature that permits the steel material to austenitize; and d) the component is then transferred to a quenching die, where it is subjected to a quenching process, during which the component is cooled and thus quenched by the contact of the quenching die with some sections of the component and the compression of said sections. The invention is characterised in that the component is supported by the quenching die in the vicinity of the positive radii and that some sections of said component are clamped in a secure manner without distortion in the vicinity of the cut edges. In the sections of the component that are not clamped, the latter is separated from a quenching-die half by a gap.
