Patent EP-1280099-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ARISAWA SHIGERU
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2002-03-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor integrated-circuit device capable of seamlessly switching a power source obtained by rectifying a carrier wave and an external power source. The semiconductor integrated-circuit device having a non-contact card function and a non-contact reader/writer function includes a rectifier 131 for rectifying a received carrier wave, a serial regulator 132 for obtaining a predetermined voltage from an output voltage of the rectifier 131, and a power-supply control circuit 138 for turning on/off the voltage from a battery 160. In a case where the output voltage of the battery 160 is equal to or higher than a predetermined voltage, the power-supply control circuit 138 selects the voltage of the battery 160 as power required for operation of an IC 300 when a reader/writer mode signal or a card mode signal is received. On the other hand, when the output voltage of the battery 160 is lower than the predetermined voltage, the power-supply control circuit 138 selects the output voltage from the rectifier 131 as power required for operation of the IC 300. The present invention can be applied to a portable terminal, such as a cellular phone.

Abstract: The present invention provides DNA having the promoter
activity of an OsSUT1 gene, as well as a transgenic plant
and others capable of expressing a desired foreign gene
specifically in the vascular bundle or the phloem thereof,
using the above DNA as a promoter. 
     According to the present invention, DNA having the
promoter activity of the OsSUT1 gene was isolated from the
genomic library of rice (Oryza sativa L.) The DNA has a
promoter sequence, which has a phloem specificity and a
growing time specificity and exists in a nucleotide
sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. A transgenic plant
expressing a foreign gene specifically in the phloem or in
the vascular bundle system tissues was produced by ligating
the desired foreign gene downstream of the promoter DNA and
incorporating it into the genome of a plant.

Abstract: A method and arrangement are disclosed for processing a compressed media signal, for example, embedding a watermark in an MPEG2 video signal. The watermark, a spatial noise pattern (140), is embedded (123) by selectively discarding the smallest quantized DCT coefficients. The discarded coefficients are subsequently merged in the runs of other run/level pairs. To compensate for a too large reduction of the bit rate, some of the new run/level pairs are not variable-length encoded (124) but represented by longer code words according to further coding rule (125) providing such longer code words, for example, MPEG's "Escape coding".

Abstract: Regenerative oxidizer including an entrapment chamber and damper assembly, as well as a method of oxidizing volatile organic compounds in a gas using such apparatus. To improve the VOC destruction efficiency and eliminate opacity issues resulting from heat exchange matrix regeneration, untreated fluid can be diverted away from the oxidizer exhaust stack and directed into a 'holding vessel' or VOC entrapment chamber. The assembly utilizes a single damper in order to divert the exhaust flow from the oxidizer either to exhaust or to the entrapment chamber. The entrapment chamber preferably has a modular construction, which facilitates expanding or decreasing the volume of the chamber. The design facilitates installation and can be retrofitted on existing equipment. The damper diverts the flow of gas with minimal or no negative impact on the process flow.
