Title: Non-instrumented cholesterol assay
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 1991-02-05
Abstract: An assay for determining the cholesterol level in a sample involving a bibulous strip comprising a transfer region for transporting a transport medium from a transport medium source, a sample receiving region in fluid communication with said transfer region, and a measurement region in fluid communication with said sample receiving region, and a detectable signal reagent system comprising unbound conversion reagent and bound reagent wherein said conversion reagent reacts with cholesterol to form an intermediate product and wherein said bound reagent reacts with said intermediate product to produce a detectable border, in which the conversion reagent is placed in the transfer region of the strip or in a region of the strip between the sample receiving and measurement regions and the signal reagent is non-diffusively bound to the strip in the measurement region, and which upon contact with the sample and the transport medium results in the production of a detectable border in the measurement region which is related to the level of cholesterol in the sample.

Title: Method for determining motion vectors for the blocks of a source image sequence
IPC: H04N19/533
Filed: 1991-07-10
Abstract: In the determination of motion vectors for the blocks of a source image sequence, hierarchical search methods are usually applied by using a block-matching error criterion. The motion vector found in a search step is used as starting value for improvement in subsequent search steps. In the invention, at least two motion vectors, in which the error criterion is smallest, are determined in a first search step in an image with reduced resolution. These motion vectors are interpolated to sub-pel accuracy and brought to a size which has validity for the non-reduced image. In the second search step, the search is refined in a small area surrounding these motion vectors and the zero vector and the motion vector is determined, for which the error criterion supplies the smallest value. <IMAGE>

Title: Maximum likelihood sequence detector
IPC: H04L25/30
Filed: 1991-06-04
Abstract: A maximum likelihood detector using the Viterbi algorithm for estimating a sequence of data bits received over a communication channel. Depending on the constraint length (C), a plurality of different states is associated with the transmitted bits (e.g. 16 if C=4). The detector comprises various data sources (13, 14, 17, 23, 24, 28) relating respectively to state transition probabilities (branch metrics, previous partial path metrics) and observed values of the received bits. Means are provided for calculating the partial path metrics for each state using values from said data sources. The calculating means comprise a common adder/accumulator (1) for performing repeated additive arithmetic operations and for storing the cumulative result thereof. Multiplexing means (10-15) are also provided for selectively coupling the data sources in a predetermined order to the adder/accumulator to implement the partial path metric calculation. The architecture is compatible with VLSI techniques and enables the detector to be implemented using minimal semiconductor area. The detector may be used independently as an equaliser or a decoder but in a preferred embodiment both these functions re-use the same common hardware in series enabling both the equaliser and decoder to be implemented in a single integrated circuit (i.e. on one 'chip'). <IMAGE>

Title: Opto-electronic scale reading apparatus
Inventor: HENSHAW JAMES R
IPC: G01D5/36
Filed: 1995-12-20
Abstract: An opto-electronic scale reading apparatus includes a reflective scale (410) relative to which a readhead is movable. The readhead includes a light source in the form of the emission end of an optical fibre (300), which directs light via collimating lens (420), beam splitter (310), and deflecting optics (312,314) onto the scale. The light reflected from the scale passes through an index grating (416) to generate a series of spatial fringes in the plane of an analyser (418). The analyser comprises a series of elongate light transmitting colour filters, extending substantially parallel to the fringes and arranged in a repeating pattern (e.g. red, blue, green, red, blue .....); like-coloured elements are separated by a distance corresponding to an integer multiple of the fringe pitch. The array (418) encodes the fringes into a plurality of phase-shifted signals, which pass through the beam splitter (310), lens (420) and back along fibre (300). A plurality of corresponding colour filters, provided at the other end of the fibre (300) deflect the relevant colour light onto individual photodetectors thereby to produce a plurality of cyclically modulating phase-shifted electrical signals, from which the relative displacement of the readhead and scale may be determined. Where the fibre is of plastics material the light is preferably in the infra-red spectrum to produce attenuation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a
TDMA timing control method and apparatus for use in a
TDMA satellite communication network, by which land earth
stations can be synchronized even in a multi beam system
having generally no return channel. A land earth station
of the satellite network generates a transmission timing
thereof on the basis of its own time base and detects a
receiving time of a signal from another land earth station.
Times of the land earth stations are synchronized by
exchanging the information of their own transmission
timing and the receiving times of the signals with other
land earth stations through control bursts, calculating
time errors of their own time bases by solving simultaneous
equations including time errors of the time bases of the
other land earth station and propagation times to the
satellite as unknown quantities and correcting the times
of the time bases on the basis of the time errors.

Abstract: The present invention provides for efficient echo cancellation
in a voice-recognition system which includes barge-in
capability. The system and method include a buffer controller
(22) which stores the incoming signal received from a
communications network during transmission of an outgoing signal
which represents an outgoing prompt message to an interlaced
buffer (21). A delay finder (27) then determines a channel
delay associated with the communications network in accordance
with the incoming signal and the outgoing signal. The delay
finder (27) then stores a portion of the incoming signals,
determined in accordance with the channel delay and filter
length of an adaptive filter included in an echo canceler (24),
into a delay buffer 23. The echo canceler 24, using the
incoming signals stored in the delay buffer 23, then enhances

Abstract: A shared-disk cluster system includes a cluster membership manager framework
which coordinates the joining or leaving among all nodes in a cluster including taking
the multiple layers of involved subsystems through transitions. Subsystems are notified
of transitions in particular order depending upon the transition, and all nodes'
subsystems receiving a notification must process that notification prior to another layer
of subsystems being notified. One of the subsystems registered for notification is an
event manager in user space. The event manager carries out transfers of client services,
including user applications, resulting from nodes joining and leaving the cluster. This
includes a registration and launch service which registers a node, or multiple nodes, in a
cluster which claims, or is assigned, responsibility for the service and provides an
optional launching function which initiates the client service upon successful
registration.
