Inventor: BLANK THOMAS
IPC: H05K3/42
Filed: 2002-11-26
Abstract: Assembly has first, outer board and second drilled board sitting on first plate with one electrically conductive ball per drill hole. First outer plate has identical ring disks regularly arranged, with electrical contact tab extending radially outwards to edge of its zone, in same alignment within each row. Second board drillings match ring disk matrix layout with aligned axes, each with electrically conductive inner wall with electrically conductive contact tab extending radially outwards to edge of its zone. Third board, of non-conductive material, covers drillings of second board with hermetic seal. <??>The multiple ball switch, in a layered board structure, has an initial board as the outer board with identical circular ring disks of an electrically conductive material in a matrix layout. Each circular ring disk has at least one electrical contact tab extending radially outwards to the edge of its zone, with the contact tabs in the same alignment within each row. A second board to be laid on the first, has drillings through it matching the ring disk matrix layout with aligned axes, each with an electrically conductive inner wall fitted with an electrically conductive contact tab extending radially outwards to the edge of its zone, all in the same alignment in each row. The conductive surfaces of the first board have no direct contact with conductive surfaces of the second board. A ball of electrically conductive material is inserted into each drilling of dimensions so that, when there is an electrical contact between the ring disk and the conductive inner wall of the drilling, it does not project from the drilling and there is no space for a second ball. A third board, of non-conductive material, covers the drillings of the second board with a hermetic seal. The switch assembly is produced using surface mounted device (SMD) technology.

Abstract: This invention relates to the finding that TAT interacts with gp120 at the cell
surface and enhances HIV-1 entry into host cells. This invention also discloses
modulators of this interaction, particularly peptides that mimic the region of
gp120 involved in this interaction. These peptides interfere with TAT-mediated
enhancement of infection regardless of virus strain, and are therefore suitable
for the development in general of broad-range drugs against AIDS and other
infectious diseases induced by HIV-1 related pathogens, and specifically for a
class of chemicals active in the reduction or abrogation of virus and infectivity
spreading.

Abstract: Encoding and decoding of subtitle data is performed in real time. A buffer
regulates a flow rate of the subtitle data to ensure that appropriate subtitles are
superimposed on the correct video picture. In encoding, subtitles are generated in
correspondence with a video picture. The subtitles are separately encoded and
multiplexed with the video picture for transmission. Upon decoding, the subtitles
are selected at a time which corresponds to display of the corresponding video
picture. Since the subtitles are processed separately from the video data, the
subtitles may be manipulated with great control, thus providing more flexibility in
encoding and decoding.

Abstract: A multi-ribbed power transmission belt (10) has transverse grooves (20)
in the compression section (16) which are oriented at angles other than
perpendicular. The combination of longitudinal grooves (19) and transverse
grooves (20) form a plurality of cogs (21) on the belt surface, with a row of cogs
(22) being defined between adjacent transverse grooves. Each cog (21) has a
pitch length P extending from a location on the cog to the identical location on
the longitudinally adjacent cog. The pitch lengths of the rows of cogs are
randomized over the entire length of the belt to reduce the noise of the belt as
it travels about its associated pulleys.

Inventor: RIZIOTIS CHRISTOS
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2002-05-02
Abstract: The invention provides a waveguide coupler optical add/drop
multiplexer (OADM) in which the grating can be positioned within the
coupling region of a wave guide coupler (48) so as to simultaneously
provide fully optimised add and drop functions. The invention overcomes
the limitations of the prior art half cycle coupler (HCC) OADMs in which
add and drop functions cannot be simultaneously optimised by providing a
waveguide coupler with two or more half cycles and carefully designing
the grating (50) so that add and drop signals incident in opposite
directions into the coupling region have effective reflection points
(M 1 ,M 2 ) that coincide with different points along the coupling region at
which the lowest order even and odd normal modes are  j π/2 out
of phase, where  j  is an odd integer. It is therefore possible to
provide a high specification OADM without optical circulators. The
invention may find application in point-to-point links and optical
networks.

Abstract: A continuous time sigma delta converter has a filter
(510) and converter components (530, 540) having known
non-ideal characteristics. A compensation circuit (570)
has error modelling components arranged to model the non-ideal
characteristics of the converter. A summation block

compensation circuit (570) with a non-ideal output signal
from the converter in order to provide a compensated
output signal. This has substantially no effect on other
modulator performance characteristics and contributes to
the implementation of giga sample-per-second Continuous
Time sigma deltas having the dynamic range capabilities
of traditional DT sigma deltas.

Abstract: An FM-CW radar processing system pairs up peaks
obtained by fast-Fourier transforming a beat signal
occurring on an up portion and a down portion of a
triangular-shaped FM-CW wave, calculates a distance or
relative velocity with respect to a target object based
on the peak signal in the up portion and the peak signal
in the down portion obtained by the pairing, and compares
the distance or relative velocity, obtained after
changing the modulating signal for the FM-CW wave, with
the distance or relative velocity obtained before
changing the modulating signal. If the distance or
relative velocity differs before and after changing the
modulating signal, the pairing is judged to be
mispairing.
