Title: Cell and tissue growth using substances that reversibly bind oxygen
Inventor: FEGE WOLFGANG DR MED
IPC: A61K35/14
Filed: 2002-07-26
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of substances, which reversibly bind oxygen for transporting, transferring and for storing oxygen in order to provide oxygen during the growth of organs, organ-like structures, tissue cultures, cultures of human or animal cells or cultures of microorganisms. To this end, a number of possible properties of these substances can be used. The property of binding oxygen at a high partial pressure and releasing it once again into the surroundings at a low partial pressure whereby enabling a transport of oxygen is utilized. In addition, the ability to store oxygen and release it once again only in the event of very low partial pressures is utilized. The ability of some of these substances to transfer oxygen well in a variable manner is also utilized. Adding substances, which reversibly bind oxygen, to organ cultures, organoid cultures, tissue cultures, cell cultures or microorganism cultures makes it possible to achieve a sufficient provision of oxygen also in the areas in which, without these substances and under otherwise identical conditions, it would not be possible to provide oxygen for the survival or good functioning of cells or of microorganisms that require oxygen.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for encoding a video signal through discrete cosine
transform (DCT) and motion estimation (ME) and an apparatus therefor. The method
for encoding the video signal simplifies the ME with reference to DCT coefficients. In a
method for estimating motion in a video frame compression system using DCT, flatness
degrees of the blocks is determined according to the number of DCT coefficients having
a non-zero value among DCT coefficients transformed in units of blocks. A reference
frame is formed by recovering video frame data from some or all of the DCT
coefficients corresponding to the flatness degrees of the blocks. Precision of motion
estimation (ME) for a current macro block (MB) of a current video frame is
dynamically changed corresponding to the flatness degree of the reference frame.

Abstract: Described is a communication system including wireless client
devices. In the described system, the client devices may be wrist-worn watches such
as are in common use today, except that the watches are specially configured to
receive transmissions from broadcast towers. A client device is associated with one
or more home service regions, and is configured to receive personal messages on a
home channel when in the home service region. The client device employs a self-assignment
method to identify and select a home channel without the need for
interaction by a user. A tower discovery method is employed to identify broadcast
towers and available channels within a service region. A failover method is
employed to identify a change in the broadcast system, and take appropriate action
such as, for example, changing to another broadcast tower, selecting another
frequency, selecting a sleep mode, as well as others

Abstract: Devices fabricated on a wafer are encapsulated by forming a pattern of bond rings on a cap wafer and aligning and bonding the two wafers together, under thermo-compression, so that an operational part (22) of each device (20) is surrounded by a respective bond ring (21). The bond ring provides a hermetic seal by occupying any trenches (25) or other discontinuities, such as conductive tracks (23), in the upper surface of the device crossed by the ring. An accelerometer is manufactured by etching at least one cavity (5) into the top side of a substrate (1), bonding an intermediate layer of material (6) onto the top side of the substrate, depositing metallization (7) onto the intermediate layer and etching the metallization and intermediate layer to form a sensor structure suspended over each cavity. Conductive tracks (31, 32) of a lower metallization layer deposited on the substrate (30) cross under tracks (37, 38) deposited on the upper side of the intermediate layer (35, 36) without making electrical connection. Bridges are fabricated by forming cavities (33, 34) on the underside of the intermediate layer to accommodate the lower track.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multi-mode crystal oscillator system (100) selectively configurable to minimize power consumption or noise generation. Such a system is particularly applicable to the communication system of an implantable device, e.g., the microstimulator/sensor device described in U.S. Patents 6, 164, 284 and 6, 185, 452. In such devices, their small size limits the size of the battery contained within and thus makes it essential to minimize power consumption. Additionally, the small size and battery capacity result in a limited transmission power. Furthermore, the small size limits the antenna efficiency which makes it desirable to limit any noise generation to maximize the signal-to-noise level of the resulting receive signal. Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention alternatively supply power to the oscillator (102) in either a first mode that minimizes power consumption or a second mode that minimizes noise generation.
