Abstract: It is well known that interlaced video result in flicker artifacts that are annoying and tiring for the viewer. The technology for displaying progressive video have improved over the years and is now feasible. At the same time digital video compression have also advanced with the introduction of MPEG2 standard. However digital progressive video requires a lot of processing power. 
     A method of decoding compresses digital video of a progressive video sequences at 60 frames per second using multiple decoders operating at 30 frames per second is disclosed in this invention. This invention describes the method and apparatus by which the compress digital video bitstream can be partition into independent units that can be decoded by the multiple decoders in parallel.

Abstract: A plasma addressed liquid crystal display system (10) includes improved electrode structures (90, 100, 130) that are nonuniform parallel to their surfaces and may also be nonuniform perpendicular to their major surfaces. The nonuniformities include surface nonuniformities (92, 94), bulk nonuniformities (108, 110, 112, 112), and geometric nonuniformities (132, 134). Electrodes having such nonuniformities provide localized sites of preferential and nonpreferential surface and bulk properties of the electrodes, which, in turn, provide improved and locally tailored plasma discharge characteristics. PALC displays having the nonuniform electrodes have improved quality because of reduced firing voltages in one plasma channel region compared to another, reduced sputtering damage, reduced total current between electrodes, decreased discharge initiation time, and decreased ionized gas decay time.

Abstract: A system is constructed such that a voltage between an
inner pumping electrode (24a) and a reference electrode (26)
is measured to determine a difference between a measured
voltage and a reference voltage so that a pumping voltage
(Vp) is controlled by using the differential voltage.
Specifically, a comparative amplifier (32) is provided for
comparing the reference voltage (Vb) with the terminal
voltage between the reference electrode (26) and the inner
pumping electrode (24a), and amplifying the difference
therebetween with a predetermined gain to make an output.
The system is wired and connected such that the output
voltage (differential voltage) from the comparative
amplifier (32) is applied, as the pumping voltage (Vp)
supplied to an oxygen pump (22), between the inner pumping
electrode (24a) and an outer pumping electrode (24b). The
inner pumping electrode (24a) is grounded. Accordingly, for
example, when the oxygen pump is used, it is possible to
effectively avoid the oscillation phenomenon in the feedback
control system for the control voltage for the oxygen pump.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purifier which can regenerate its trapper (2) for trapping particulate matter (PM) in exhaust over the entire area of its filter portion, even if a large amount of PM is trapped. PM trapped on the trapper (2) is burned by heating the trapper (2) with an electric heater (3) inserted in the trapper (2) on its downstream side. With this arrangement, PM is less likely to accumulate between the electric heater (3) and the trapper (2). Also, PM is less likely to adhere to the surface of heater (3) supporting insulators (6). Thus, it is possible to prevent short-circuiting between the heater (3) and the trapper (2) through PM.

Abstract: To enable the surveillance of a long-distance optical fiber line that a method using the reflection lights and Rayleigh backscatter lights cannot cover, the invention provides a method as follows. A plurality of optical reflection elements P1 - Pn are interposed in the optical fiber line at each specific distance. Each of the optical reflection elements P1 - Pn reflects only a light signal of one of specific wavelengths λ1 - λn on a constant level. Light pulses of the specific wavelengths λl - λn are transmitted to the optical fiber line to measure intensities of the light pulses reflected by the optical reflection elements P1 - Pn. From the measurement, the surveillance of the optical fiber line can be done between the transmitter and each of positions of the optical reflection elements P1 - Pn. According to this method, the reflectance of the optical reflection elements P1 - Pn can be set to 100%, and the surveillance becomes possible even if the optical fiber line exceeds 200km.

Abstract: The cellular communication system includes a number of base stations through which a mobile unit communicates. The mobile unit maintains a list of active base stations with which it can communicate. One of the active stations is in communication with the mobile and uses this communication to measure the round-trip-delay between mobile and station. This delay is compared with a threshold and if this is exceeded, and the base station is a boundary station, then a hard hand-off is executed. The mobile can also monitor candidate base stations and if a triggering pilot signal is detected a hand-off can be triggered. Preferably the handoff can be between base stations controlled by different mobile switching centres.

Abstract: L'invention concerne de nouveaux gènes exprimés sélectivement par des lignées (séries XS) de cellules dendritiques (DC) à long terme provenant de l'épiderme de souris, qui conservent des caractéristiques importantes des cellules de Langerhans (LC) de l'épiderme à demeure. Ces gènes codent pour des polypeptides intégrés à la membrane de type II distincts, chacun étant constitué d'un domaine cytoplasmique, d'un domaine transmembranaire et d'un domaine de liaison extracellulaire, ainsi que d'un domaine extracellulaire C-terminal qui présente une homologie significative avec les domaines de reconnaissance des glucides (CRD) des lectines de type C. L'expression des deux gènes est totalement limitée aux cellules de la lignée DC (notamment aux cellules LC de l'épiderme). Ces gènes codent donc pour de nouveaux membres spécifiques des DC de la famille des lectines de type C, désormais appelés 'lectines 1 et 2 de type C associées aux DC' (dectine 1 et dectine 2). Deux isoformes de la molécule de dectine 1 et cinq isoformes de la molécule de dectine 2 ont également été identifiées. L'invention concerne également des protéines de fusion marquées par His, comprenant 6 x histidine et le domaine extracellulaire de la dectine 1 ou de la dectine 2. Elle concerne enfin des anticorps dirigés contre des peptides synthétiques élaborés à partir de la séquence de la dectine 1 ou contre ses protéines de fusion marquées par His.

Abstract: In a synchrotron radiation light transmission system,
a mirror is disposed in a mirror box for reflecting synchrotron
radiation light, the mirror box being formed with an incoming
opening and an outgoing opening through which the synchrotron
radiation light having a horizontally elongated cross section
passes. A swinging mechanism supports the mirror so as to allow
the synchrotron radiation light entered the mirror box via the
incoming opening to be reflected by the mirror and to change a
travelling direction in a vertical plane and for swinging the
mirror to change a change angle of the travelling direction.
The swing axis is on a cross line, or on its extension, between
an incidence plane of the synchrotron radiation light and a
tangential plane of the mirror at a reflection point and also on
an incidence side of the synchrotron radiation light from the
reflection point. The swinging mechanism swings the mirror so
that the reflection point of the synchrotron radiation light
moves on a reflection plane of the mirror as the mirror swings,
and that an incidence angle becomes larger as a distance between
a light source of the synchrotron radiation light and the
reflection point becomes longer.
