Patent AU-3172297-A (AU)
Title: Coding and decoding of audio signals using intensity stereo and prediction
Inventor: GBUR UWE
IPC: H04B1/66
Filed: 1997-06-03
Abstract: In the coding and decoding of stereo audio spectral values both the intensity stereo process and prediction are used in order to achieve high data compression. If intensity stereo coding is active in one section of scale factor bands, the prediction for the right channel in that range is deactivated, whereby the results of the prediction are not used to form the coded stereo audio spectral values. To allow further adaptation of the prediction for the right channel, the predictor of the right channel is fed with stereo audio spectral values for the channel, which again are intensity stereo decoded.

Title: Biochip and method for making it
Inventor: HAHN SOONKAP
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2000-04-26
Abstract: Methods for preparing a biochip are provided herein wherein the biomolecular probe to be used with the biochip is alternatively bound to a hydrogel prepolymer prior to or simultaneously with polymerization of the prepolymer. In particularly preferred embodiments, a polyurethane-based hydrogel prepolymer is derivatized with an organic solvent soluble biomolecule, such as a peptide nucleic acid probe in aprotic, organic solvent. Following derivatization of the prepolymer, an aqueous solution, for example sodium bicarbonate, preferably buffered to a pH of about 7.2 to about 9.5, is added to the derivatized prepolymer solution to initiate polymerization of the hydrogel. Alternatively, a water soluble biomolecule, such as DNA or other oligonucleotide, is prepared in an aqueous solution and added to the polyurethane-based hydrogel prepolymer such that derivatization and polymerization occur, essentially, simultaneously. While the hydrogel is polymerizing, it is microspotted onto a solid substrate, preferably a silanated glass substrate, to which the hydrogel microdroplet becomes covalently bound. Most preferably the hydrogel microdroplets are at least about 30 mum thick, for example about 50 mum to about 100 mum thick. The resulting biochips are particularly useful for gene discovery, gene characterization, functional gene analysis and related studies.

Title: Method for nonvolatile storage of at least one operating data value of an electrical motor and electrical motor for said method
Inventor: RAPPENECKER HERMANN
IPC: H02P6/08
Filed: 2000-05-16
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for nonvolatile storage of at least one operating data value of an electric motor (32). The latter comprises a microprocessor or microcontroller (23) that controls its commutation, and it comprises a nonvolatile memory (74). In this method, when the motor (32) is switched on, an old operating data value is transferred from the nonvolatile memory (74) into a volatile memory (97) associated with the microprocessor (23) and saved there as a variable. The variable is updated by the microprocessor in the time intervals between the commutation operations (FIG. 13). At intervals of time, the operating data value saved in the nonvolatile memory (74) is replaced by the updated operating data value corresponding to the present value of the variable. A motor for carrying out this method is described.

Title: A method of holding an auction and uses of the method
Inventor: GROFTEHAUGE MARTIN
IPC: G07C11/00
Filed: 1998-01-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of holding auctions which take place in a computer environment, where a plurality of sellers (8) and bidders (3) may submit bids from local computers to a central computer (1), a so-called server which may e.g. be coupled via the Internet. The server (1) may offer a catalogue (5) to the indivudual bidders (3) who can then prepare, via their own computers, a prioritized list of the articles which they may possibly desire to buy. The auctioning system incorporates the certainty, via a list of purchase conditions, that a bidder does not risk buying too many articles, or that he will not spend too much money, in the same manner as is known from a traditional live auction. It is moreover noted that the auctioning system may be combined with an ordinary live auction. The auctioning form gives a very advantageous price formation which considers both sellers' and buyers' interests. Furthermore, the auction may take place entirely without geographical limitations.

Title: Process and arrangement for optoelectronic measurement of objects
Inventor: BARG HERBERT
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 1990-12-05
Abstract: An arrangement for optoelectronic measurement of the shape of objects (4) comprises at least two light sources (5) each of which projects at least one narrow light beam (6) onto the object to be measured (light-section procedure). The narrow light beams (6) are recorded by a number of video cameras (7) equal to the number of light sources (5). The video cameras (7) are connected to an evaluation device (9) which comprises a computer and which evaluates the photos or calculates the dimensions of the object (4). Each light source (5) is associated with an individual camera (7) which responds only to the light from that light source. Each light source (5) generates a narrow light beam (6) by emitting light rays of different wavelengths and/or polarizations, or the times at which the light strikes the object (4) and the times at which the individual cameras (7) are free to record the corresponding narrow light beam (6) are synchronized and the imaging and recording times of the individual pairs of light sources and cameras (5, 7) do not overlap.
