Patent EP-0779689-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BYRON KEVIN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 1996-12-09
Abstract: The gain provided by an erbium amplifier (3) is stabilised by spectrally selective optical feedback (4, 5) to make the amplifier lase. The resulting laser emission is extracted from the amplifier output using a Mach Zehnder (8, 9, 10, 11) with matched Bragg reflectors (12, 13) in its two interference arms. The extracted light may be used for supervisory purposes. Part of the laser cavity defining feedback may be provided by the Mach Zehnder by arranging one of its Bragg reflectors to be displaced with respect to the other.

Abstract: Upon gradation converting input m-bit image information into n-bit image information (m and n are integers; m > n), random numbers, the maximum values of which are changed in accordance with the input values of the m-bit image information, are generated at periods of two or more pixels, and the random numbers are selectively output while switching their signs to positive/negative within the period of two or more pixels. The output signal values and the input values of the m-bit image information are added to each other, and the sum signal values are converted into n-values by a density preservation type quantization method. With this control, the problems of sweeping, texture, and the like of the conventional density preservation type quantization method can be solved without emphasizing the granularity of an image.

Inventor: JEFFCOAT ROGER
IPC: A61Q1/00
Filed: 1996-01-17
Abstract: Des amidons et des farines inhibés thermiquement sont utilisés dans des compositions cosmétiques, telles que des produits de soin pour la peau et les cheveux, comme émulsifiants, épaississants et agents de modification esthétique. L'amidon ou farine est inhibé par déshydratation jusqu'à ce qu'il devienne anhydre ou pratiquement anhydre, puis un traitement thermique de l'amidon ou farine déshydraté est effectué sur une durée et à une température suffisantes pour inhiber celui-ci et améliorer la stabilité de sa viscosité lorsqu'il est dispersé dans l'eau. La déshydratation peut être thermique ou non thermique (p.ex., par extraction d'alcool ou lyophilisation). De préférence, le pH de l'amidon ou farine est ajusté à un niveau neutre ou supérieur (p.ex., un pH compris entre 8 et 9,5) avant la déshydratation et le traitement thermique.

Inventor: HOFFMAN ALLAN S
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1996-08-30
Abstract: The combination of the capabilities of stimuli-responsive components such as polymers and interactive molecules to form site-specific conjugates which are useful in a variety of assays, separations, processing, and other uses is disclosed. The polymer chain conformation and volume can be manipulated through alteration in pH, temperature, light, or other stimuli. The interactive molecules can be biomolecules like proteins or peptides, such as antibodies, receptors, or enzymes, polysaccharides or glycoproteins which specifically bind to ligands, or nucleic acids such as antisense, ribozymes, and aptamers, or ligands for organic or inorganic molecules in the environment or manufacturing processes. The stimuli-responsive polymers are coupled to the recognition biomolecules at a specific site so that the polymer can be manipulated by stimulation to alter ligand-biomolecule binding at an adjacent binding site, for example, the biotin binding site of streptavidin, the antigen-binding site of an antibody or the active, substrate-binding site of an enzyme. Binding may be completely blocked (i.e., the conjugate acts as an on-off switch) or partially blocked (i.e., the conjugate acts as a rheostat to partially block binding or to block binding only of larger ligands). Once a ligand is bound, it may also be ejected from the binding site by stimulating one (or more) conjugated polymers to cause ejection of the ligand and whatever is attached to it. Alternatively, selective partitioning, phase separation or precipitation of the polymer-conjugated biomolecule can be achieved through exposure of the stimulus-responsive component to an appropriate environmental stimulus.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses an apparatus and method for a wireless communications device to choose the optimum wireless data network from a plurality of network choices. The wireless communications device employs a protocol converter to convert out-bound data messages to a format usable by the wireless data network chosen and convert in-bound data messages to the original format usable by the wireless communications device. Based upon radio frequency measurements from a plurality of wireless data networks in the current coverage area, the protocol converter will instruct the wireless communications device to communicate on wireless data network with strongest radio signal strength indicator or a user-preferred wireless data network where the minimum radio signal strength indicator requirement has been met. For end-user terminal transmission of data messages, the protocol converter will perform conversion of data messages to the current wireless data network and then transmit the data messages via radio frequency transmission to the wireless network s base station. Also, upon reception of data messages via radio frequency transmission from the fixed-end terminal, the protocol converter will perform necessary conversion of data messages to the format usable by an end processor of the wireless communications device.

Abstract: The method is for determining the pre-requisite values, especially for the production of multi-coloured printed patterns on an auto-type working printer. So that with an original, at least one image element is allocated a remission desired value with specified surface coverings of the individual colour, to be used with printing. This at least one remission desired value with subsequent printing is called up in conjunction with an actual value, for deriving the adjusting commands for the colour control. The method is carried out so that for each image element of the original, a desired colour region (Ca, Soll) to be attained in subsequent printing is specified. Also for each image element from the parts of the printed surface, the desired spectrum resulting in the combined printing is determined. This is done by verifying the spectra of the individual colour in such a manner, that the desired colour spectrum with colour metric evaluation, gives the best possible of the specified desired colour regions.

Abstract: A valve operating system in an internal combustion engine is
disclosed, wherein the operational characteristic of an engine valve which
is an intake valve or an exhaust valve, can be changed in accordance
with the operational state of the engine. In the valve operating system, a
power transmitting means comprises an inner wheel, an outer wheel
surrounding the inner wheel, and a carrier on which a planetary rotor is
rotatably carried. The inner wheel is operatively connected to a cam
shaft, and the outer wheel is connected to the engine valve. A
rotational-amount control device is connected to the carrier for controlling
the rotational amount of the carrier in accordance with the operational
state of the engine. Thus, the size of the valve operating system can be
reduced, and moreover, the operational characteristics of the engine
valve can be finely changed.

Abstract: An electrostatic actuator comprising opposing electrode members displaced relatively by an
electrostatic force is provided with improved durability so that electrostatic attraction between
the opposing electrode members does not drop and the opposing electrode members do not
stick together. Hydrophobic films (22) and (23) of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) are formed on
the surface of a segment electrode (19) and the bottom surface of a diaphragm (common
electrode) (6) of electrostatic actuator wherein the diaphragm forms a wall of an ink chamber 7
in a ink jet head 1. HMDS molecules are smaller than PFDA molecules, and a uniform, variation-free
hydrophobic film can therefore be formed even when the gap between the two electrodes is
narrow. Durability and film stability of hydrophobic films are also high. An electrostatic actuator
with high durability and operating stability can thus be achieved.
