Title: Method of solving magnetoencephalographic and electroencephalographic inverse problems
Inventor: FUJIMAKI NORIO
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2002-05-30
Abstract: A method of solving magnetoencephalographic and electroencephalographic inverse problems provides better grouping of moments of equivalent current dipoles than conventional methods. Locations of dipoles are fixed based on information using functional magnetic resonance imaging or the like. The magnitudes and orientations of the dipole moments are adjusted to fit magnetic fields and/or electrical potential distributions produced by the dipoles to magnetoencephalographically measured data. The method also includes grouping the dipoles in two stages, using the correlation coefficient of the magnitudes of the dipole moments as a criterion.

Abstract: Methods and devices for determining the nuclear packing efficiency (NPE) of a cell nucleus and other biological particles. An NPE can be determined by correlating at least one biochemical component, such as DNA content, to nuclear volume using a variety of mathematical techniques. Flow cytometry is particularly useful for measuring nuclear volume in terms of the electronic nuclear volume (ENV). The NPE can then be used to characterize individual cells and cell populations in terms of species and tissue source, sexing, stage of the cell division cycle, differentiation and apoptosis, as well as differentiating among benign, malignant and metastatic states to diagnose cancer.

Title: Pet food composition and method of manufacture
Inventor: SAYLOCK MICHAEL J
IPC: A23K1/00
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: A pet food is provided, comprising an edible, formulated, protein-rich body having a seared appearance, a moisture content of 20 % to 60 % by weight and a structure providing firmness of texture, such as to be resilient under initial pressure of biting by a pet animal and highly palatable. Protein content is preferably at least 20 % by weight. The seared appearance is produced by exposure to a source of dry heat, such as in roasting, grilling, frying and baking and enhances palatability. Palatability may be enhanced further by reducing the pH of the food body, for example by applying an acid coating and allowing the acid to react with sugars in the body in a thermal browning reaction.

Title: System and method for progressively transforming and coding digital data
Inventor: MALVAR HENRIQUE S
IPC: H04N1/41
Filed: 2003-03-24
Abstract: A system and method facilitating progressively transforming and coding digital pictures is provided. The present invention via employment of a multi-resolution lapped transform provides for progressive rendering as well as mitigation of blocking artifacts and ringing artifacts as compared to many conventional compression systems.  The invention includes a color space mapper, a multi-resolution lapped transform, a quantizer, a scanner and an entropy encoder. The multi-resolution lapped transform outputs transform coefficients, for example, first transform coefficients and second transform coefficients. A multi-resolution representation can be obtained utilizing second transform coefficients of the multi-resolution lapped transform. The color space mapper maps an input image to a color space representation of the input image. The color space representation of the input image is then provided to the multi-resolution lapped transform. The quantizer receives the first transform coefficients and/or the second transform coefficients and provides an output of quantized coefficients for use by the scanner and/or the entropy encoder. The scanner scans the quantized coefficients in order to produce a one-dimensional vector for use by the entropy encoder. The entropy encoder encodes the quantized coefficients received from the quantizer and/or the scanner resulting in data compression.

Patent CA-2425464-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AXNESS TIMOTHY A
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2001-10-10
Abstract: A method and system for automatic gain control (AGC) in a TDD communication system, wherein each time slot of the communication signal contains a preamble in binary phase shift keying (BPSK) format, located at the beginning of the time slot. The channel estimation by the receiver is improved since the preamble allows AGC to quickly estimate the signal strength and adjust the gain accordingly. This permits all data symbols within the data burst, which follows the preamble, to be correctly received, and results in a midamble channel estimate that is much more accurate. It also allows the AGC circuit within the TDD receiver to be greatly simplified.
