Patent EP-1280928-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CROUGHAN TIMOTHY P
IPC: A01H5/10
Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: Nucleotide sequences are disclosed that may be used to impart herbicide resistance to green plants. The sources of novel resistance were originally isolated in mutant rice plants. The sequences impart pre-emergence resistance, post-emergence resistance, or both pre-emergence resistance and post-emergence resistance to multiple herbicides. To date, resistance has been demonstrated against at least the following herbicides: imazethapyr, imazapic, imazapyr, imazamox, sulfometuron methyl, imazaquin, chlorimuron ethyl, metsulfuron methyl, rimsulfuron, thifensulfuron methyl, pyrithiobac sodium, tribenuron methyl, and nicosulfuron. Green plants transformed with these sequences are resistant to these herbicides and to derivatives of these herbicides, and to at least some of the other herbicides that normally inhibit acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), particularly imidazolinone and sulfonylurea herbicides.

Abstract: The configuration and arrangement of the instrument greatly facilitate safe placement of the instrument and an associated endotracheal tube. The instrument includes a handle with an arm extending therefrom. The arm includes a base portion and a distal lifter portion preferably having an angle between 5° and 85°, inclusive, and the lifter is sized and shaped to engage or lift the patient's epiglottis, thereby to expose the glottis. In a preferred embodiment, the base portion and lifter portion are substantially the same length, and a viewing device, which is preferably a CCD or CMOS camera positioned near the transition portion between the base and lifter portions, is aligned to provide a perspective view toward the distal end of the lifter. Lights, which are preferably LED units, are positioned toward the distal end of the lifter to facilitate viewing. A transparent protective sheathing may be positioned over the assembly to facilitate cleaning and provide sterile multiple use of the device, and the lifter may be pivotally secured to the base portion to facilitate on-site adjustment by the practitioner.

Abstract: An optical transmission apparatus (10) implemented as
an OADM (Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) includes quality monitors
(18, 28) each for monitoring the quality of a signal arriving
on a particular optical transmission path. A monitor/control
unit (44) converts quality signals output from the quality
monitors (18, 28) to path-by-path bit error rates, or estimation
values, and compares them to select a route. The
monitor/control unit (44) then generates a metric value "1"
for the route selected and adds it to one of identical metric
values, which are assigned to routes to the same destination,
that corresponds to the route selected. The monitor/control
unit (44) can therefore select a route closer to actual
transmission path conditions. A method of determining an
optimal route for optical transfer is also disclosed.

Abstract: Signals received from mobile station by respective
slave units each are attenuated by a combination of
attenuation factors set for the respective slave units, the
attenuated signals thereafter are combined into a resultant
signal in master unit, and the combination of attenuation
factors is changed based on a predetermined rule. Then
information about magnitudes of powers of signals received
from the mobile station by the respective slave units is
acquired based on change of information about a power of
the resultant signal occurring with change in the combination
of attenuation factors. At this time, the signal received
from the mobile station by each slave unit increases its
power with decreasing distance of the slave unit to the mobile
station; therefore, distances from the mobile station to
the respective slave units are estimated based on the
information about the magnitudes of the powers, and the
location of the mobile station is suitably estimated thereby.

Title: Bitwise adaptive encoding using prefix prediction
Inventor: HU XIAOPING
IPC: H03M7/40
Filed: 2002-02-07
Abstract: A technique is presented for compressing data which leverages the
frequency of an escape symbol for better compression. The prefix of a data string is
evaluated and the probability of all characters that might succeed it is predicted in
tabular form. Symbols are designated "Hit" or "Miss" based upon whether they are
in the table. A binary tree is generated by partitioning nodes into Zero and One
groups based on a single bit value. A partition bit is chosen to maximize the
difference of probability sums of Hit symbols in Zero and One groups, with
exceptions for partitions having non Hit symbols in one of the groups. A probability
value is assigned to each branch, based on the probabilities of Hit and Miss symbols.
Encoding a symbol is facilitated by encoding the branch probabilities on the shortest
path from the root to the leaf node containing the symbol using arithmetic encoding.

Abstract: A porous supporting carbon body of a gas diffusion
layer is provided with a larger number of smaller pores at its
catalyst layer side and a smaller number of larger pores at
the other side, particularly with an appropriate distribution
of finer mesh at its catalyst layer side and coarser mesh at
the other side. Thereby, a high performance polymer
electrolyte fuel cell can be obtained in which water generated
at the catalyst layer is quickly sucked out to the gas
diffusion layer, and is evaporated at the gas diffusion layer
to be effectively exhausted to outside the fuel cell, so that
excessive water can be prevented from retaining in the gas
diffusion electrode, with the polymer electrolyte membrane
being maintained at an appropriately wet condition. 
     Further, a gas diffusion layer is provided with an
electrically conductive polymer-containing layer comprising
carbon particles and a polymer material. In it, a combination
of two kinds of carbon particles having different amounts of
acidic function group is used in a manner that the weight
ratio of one kind having a larger acidic function group,
relative to the other kind, increases from one end of the gas
diffusion layer, corresponding to the inlet of a gas flow
channel, to the other end. Thereby, the water permeating
function at the surface of the gas diffusion layer can be so
adjusted that the inside of the MEA is maintained at an
appropriately wet condition, while excessive water is quickly 
exhausted to outside of the fuel cell together with e.g. the
reactive gas. This can also be achieved by using a
combination of two kinds of polymer materials in the
electrically conductive polymer-containing layer in a manner
that the two kinds have either different degrees of
crystallinity or different coefficients of moisture
permeability, so that the degrees of crystallinity decreases
and the coefficients of moisture permeability increases from
the one end to the other end of the gas diffusion layer.

Abstract: In a target merging process in a radar ranging
device, determination of continuity is accurately
performed and output processing of newly appearing
targets is performed rapidly. The current target position
(data prior to merging) is calculated (S1), and a
predicted position is calculated (S2). The continuity of
targets whose previous position and current position
satisfy predetermined conditions (S3 to S5) is determined
(S6 to S7). After the data prior to merging is stored in
a buffer (S9), the merging process is performed. By
storing the data prior to merging in the buffer,
continuity is determined for each detected target and,
therefore, even if the position of a target changes after
merging, subsequent determination of continuity can be
performed accurately.
