Inventor: KAWARA TOSHIYUKI
IPC: H04N5/783
Filed: 1996-03-14
Abstract: A table generator  200  outputs a jump address  290 
based on data  220  indicating GOP numbers, data  250  indicating
picture numbers, data  270  indicating times when
pictures are to be reproduced in a normal reproduction
and data  190  indicating sector addresses of GOP data  170 .
A formatter  210  performs formatting so that GOP data and
auxiliary data including the jump address  290  corresponding
to the GOP data are adjacent to each other. An
optical head  330  for recording receives the formatted
data via a recording signal processor  310  and records the
data on an optical disk. As a result, even when a number
of the pictures composing one GOP is varied, data can be
recorded on a recording medium so that a reproduction
scale factor  R  becomes substantially constant at a time
of a high-speed reproduction.

Abstract: The present invention concerns fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) as a novel marker for mesenchymal skeletal progenitor cells. By utilizing this novel marker it was possible both to identify and locate mesenchymal skeletal progenitor cells in a tissue, as well as to obtain a substantially pure culture of such cells. The pure culture of the mesenchymal skeletal progenitor cells may be used, optionally after various manipulations ex vivo, as an active ingredient in pharmaceutical compositions or implants for the purpose of bone and/or cartilage repair. FGFR3 may also be used as a marker for the identification and the localization of cartilage- and bone-derived tumors. Agents capable of binding to FGFR3 may also be used for targeting cytotoxic agents to cartillage- and bone-derived tumors.The present invention concerns fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) as a novel marker for mesenchymal skeletal progenitor cells.

Abstract: The proposed method of determining dew point
involves directing the gas under investigation onto a
cooled section of an optically transparent body through
which a luminous flux is allowed to pass and recording
fluctuations in the intensity of the luminous flux, the
flow-rate of the gas thus directed onto the cooled section
being reduced down to zero while its molecular diffusion is
preserved. To limit the flow-rate of the gas impinging on
the cooled section (1) and reduce contamination of the
optically transparent element, the dew point gauge is
provided with a sampling tube (10).

Abstract: The clamp consists of a base surmounted by a body (2) with lateral retaining jaws (5, 6) and a main spring (15), and an active asymmetry member (51) which provides for an asymmetrical movement of the jaws and is accessible from outside the clamp after assembly. It is also movable and can be reversed. The two jaws are able to move against the effort of the main spring, and the asymmetry member comprises at least one elastic block which opposes the movement of a jaw, complementing the action of the main spring. It can be in the form of two blocks (51, 52) of different shapes and strengths, made e.g. from a synthetic rubber of the butadiene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene group. In addition, the clamp's supporting plate has an upper surface covering of an anti-friction material, e.g. PTFE.

Abstract: Particle-optical rotationally symmetrical lenses inevitably have chromatic aberration. This lens fault determines the limit of the resolution of known particle-optical apparatus at a comparatively low acceleration voltage (0.5 kV to 5 kV) of the particle beam. This lens fault cannot be eliminated by compensation by means of rotationally symmetrical fields. In order to enhance the resolution of the particle-optical apparatus nevertheless, it has already been proposed to mitigate said lens fault by means of a Wien type corrector. Such a known configuration is provided with a number of electrical and magnetic multipoles. In order to achieve easier adjustment of the various multipole fields, the pole faces (30-i) governing the multipole fields according to the invention have a specific length L = (2π2n2)/(K¿obj?2Cc,obj), in which Kobj is the strength of the focusing lens to be corrected and Cc,obj is the coefficient of chromatic aberration of this lens.
