IPC: H04N1/41
Filed: 2000-11-03
Abstract: An image processing apparatus for outputting
desired output data obtained by looking up a look-up
table on the basis of input data which represents each
pixel value of an input image and has an M (M is an
integer of not less than 2) bit width, and converting
the input data includes an input compression unit and
look-up table. The input compression unit divides the
input value range of the input data into a plurality of
input sections having individual compression ratios, and
outputs compressed data compressed at the compression
ratio of an input section to which the input data
belongs. The look-up table stores in advance desired
output data obtained by converting original input data
for all obtained compressed data, and outputs, as
desired data, output data corresponding to the
compressed data output from the input compression unit.
The compression ratios of the respective input sections
are assigned to logarithmically increase in accordance
with the values of input data belonging to the
respective input sections.

Abstract: A high-capacity optical fiber network [100, 200] includes wavelength-division
multiplexing (WDM) within the 1.4 micron (µm) wavelength region ( i.e ., 1335-1435
nm). Such a system includes optical fiber [130] whose peak loss in the 1.4 µm region
is less than its loss at 1310 nm. The optical fiber has a zero dispersion wavelength
(λ 0 ) at about 1310 nm, and linear dispersion between about 1.5 and 8.0 ps/nm-km
within the 1.4 µm region. At least three WDM channels operate at 10 Gb/s in the 1.4
µm wavelength region and have a channel separation of 100 GHz. In one illustrative
embodiment of the invention, a broadcast television channel, having amplitude
modulated vestigial sideband modulation, simultaneously operates in the 1.3 µm
region ( i.e ., 1285-1335 nm) and/or the 1.55 µm region ( i.e ., 1500-1600 nm). In
another embodiment of the invention, 16 digital data channels are multiplexed
together in the 1.55 µm region, each channel operating at about 2.5 Gb/s. Raman
amplifiers [103, 113] are used for amplification in the 1.3 µm and the 1.4 µm
wavelength regions, whereas an Erbium amplifier [123] is used for amplification in
the 1.55 µm wavelength region.

keys associated with several letters each; processor means controlling the
display means in accordance with the operation of the keypad. The
communication terminal has a predictive editor program for generating an
output containing words matching a received string of ambiguous key strokes.
Furthermore the communication terminal has on editor application controlled
by the processor means for editing a text based on the predictive editor
programs interpretation of key strokes. The editor application comprises
means for storing string of entered words, means for storing a sequence of
key stokes, said sequence is updated upon the occurrence of a new key
stroke, and being used as input to the predictive editor program, means for
storing a list of matching words received from said predictive editor program.
The processor means combines the text string and one word from the list of
matching words for displaying in the display of at least a part of said text string
and one word from the list of matching words, said one word from the list of
matching words is marked in comparison to the remaining part of the text
string and added to the text string upon acknowledgement by the user. The
terminal comprises means for acknowledging a word suggested by said
predictive editor program, and said acknowledging means includes a key on
the keypad indicating that a word suggested by said predictive editor program
is a part of a compound word, said editor application fixes the suggested word
as an acknowledged part of the compound word, resets said sequence of key
strokes serving as input for said predictive editor program in order to
determine another part of the compound word independently of the
acknowlegded part of the compound word.

Abstract: Quasi-Walsh function systems are developed which allow multiple access as well
as spectral spreading for interception and jamming prevention. Mutual interference is minimal
due to orthogonal spreading. High signal hiding capability occurs by utilizing a large number of
distinct orthogonal codes. An encoding algorithm is presented which allows a simple way of
"keeping track" of the different systems of Quasi-Walsh systems as well as determining
appropriate values for given users at specified chip values.

Abstract: Wound healing is impaired in many diabetics, who suffer increased risk of chronic foot ulceration and amputation. Diabetic patients with poor healing ability were found to possess significantly lower fasting urinary nitrate levels than diabetic patients with normal healing ability or non-diabetic controls, implicating decreased endogenous nitric oxide activity as the mediator of diabetes-impaired wound healing. Methods and kits are provided for predicting the wound healing ability of diabetic patients based on the levels of nitric oxide related products such as nitrate or nitrite in urine or other specimens. Methods are also provided for treating non-wound healing diabetics and monitoring diabetic ulcer treatment.

Abstract: The invention relates to protein-protein interactions and methods for identifying interacting proteins and the amino acid sequence at the site of interaction. Using overlapping hexapeptides that encode for the entire amino acid sequences of the linker domains of human P-glycoprotein gene 1 and 3 (HP-gp1 and HP-gp3), a direct and specific binding between HP-gp1 and 3 linker domains and intracellular proteins was demonstrated. Three different stretches (<SUP>617</SUP>EKGIYFKLVTM<SUP>627</SUP>, (SEQ ID NO: 1) <SUP>658</SUP>SRSSLIRKRSTRRSVRGSQA<SUP>677 </SUP>(SEQ ID NO: 2) and <SUP>694</SUP>PVSFWRIMKLNLT<SUP>706 </SUP>(SEQ ID NO: 3) for HP-gp1 and <SUP>618</SUP>LMKKEGVYFKLVNM<SUP>631 </SUP>(SEQ ID NO: 4), <SUP>648</SUP>KAATRMAPNGWKSRLFRHSTQKNLKNS<SUP>674 </SUP>(SEQ ID NO: 5), and <SUP>695</SUP>PVSFLKVLKLNKT<SUP>707 </SUP>(SEQ ID NO: 6) for HP-gp3) in linker domains bound to proteins with apparent molecular masses of ~80 kDa, 57 kDa and 30 kDa. The binding of the 57 kDa protein was further characterized. Purification and partial N-terminal amino acid sequencing of the 57 kDa protein showed that it encodes the N-terminal amino acids of alpha and beta-tubulins. The method of the present invention was further validated with Annexin. The present invention thus demonstrates a novel concept whereby the interactions between two proteins are mediated by strings of few amino acids with high and repulsive binding energies, enabling the identification of high affinity binding sites between any interacting proteins.

Abstract: A photo-coupled solid-state relay (38; 62; 84) and a method of activating the
relay utilize a power-conserving technique to reduce the amount of current
applied to a light-emitting diode (46; 70; 92) of an optical control circuit (40;
64; 86) of the relay, after the relay has been activated. The power-conserving
technique can be used to reduce the turn-on time of the relay and/or reduce
the amount of current consumed by the control circuit when the relay is
activated. The solid-state relay may be used in a number of high power
switching applications, such as a power switch in a modem of a personal
computer. The control circuit includes first and second current paths (50 and
52; 74 and 76; 96 and 98) that connect the light-emitting diode to a current
source. In operation, input current is conducted through the first and second
current paths to the light-emitting diode to activate the output transistors (30
and 32) of the relay. After the output transistors have been activated, an
active device (42 and 44; 66; 88) on one of the current paths is turned "off" to
reduce the amount of input current applied to the light-emitting diode, while
maintaining the output transistors in the activated state.
