Patent EP-0939127-A2 (EP)
Inventor: QUEEN CARY L
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1989-12-28
Abstract: The invention provides, inter alia, the use of first
nucleotide sequences coding for framework regions from
human acceptor Ig light and heavy chains and second
nucleotide sequences coding for CDR's from a donor Ig in
the production of expressible polynucleotides which encode
a humanized immunoglobulin; which immunoglobulin is one
obtainable by a method comprising:
   (a) comparing the framework or variable region
amino acid sequences of the donor Ig light and heavy
chains with corresponding sequences in a collection
of human Ig chains;   (b) selecting, to provide the human acceptor Ig
light and heavy chain frameworks, sequences from the
collection which have at least 65% identity with the
respective donor framework sequences; and   (c) combining CDR's from the donor Ig and
frameworks from the selected acceptor sequences.    
     The invention further includes the provision of humanized
immunoglobulin, and in another aspect provides a method of
designing a humanized immunoglobulin (Ig) chain having one or
more CDR's from a donor Ig and a framework region from a human
Ig, said method comprising: comparing the framework or
variable region amino acid sequence of the donor Ig light or
heavy chain with corresponding sequences in a collection of
human Ig chains; and selecting to provide the human Ig light
or heavy chain framework one of the 3-5 most homologous
sequences from the collection.

Abstract: In an eye test apparatus of the type having a
single examination area, an improved view port is
disclosed having a view port casing and a mounting
apparatus arranged so that the view port casing is
movable between a first and second active positions. In
a first active position, the casing receives a patient's
forehead so that a patient's right eye is aligned with a
examination area, and a second active position wherein a
casing receives a patient's forehead so that a patient's
left eye is aligned with the examination area. The
casing is specially configured to occlude ambient light
and to accommodate a patient wearing eyeglasses. The
eye test apparatus may further have a position sensor
system for sending the present position of the casing.
In one embodiment of the invention, a control unit is
provided which is responsive to the position sensor
system so that administration of a test to a patient is
permitted only if the casing is in an active position,
and may further be made responsive to the sensor system
so that data captured during the test by the control
unit is automatically categorized according to which eye
is currently being tested.

Inventor: BORRELL RAMON
IPC: G06K15/10
Filed: 1999-06-02
Abstract: Apparatus defines a dither mask (DM) and printmask
(PM) with corresponding dimensions. In one invention form
the DM dimension is not an integral factor or multiple of
the PM dimension. The two dimensions may be lengths or
widths; preferably the apparatus manages both; the corresponding
dimensions differ by at least three pixels, and by
a multiple of two pixels ― more preferably eight or a multiple
of eight. Preferably one dimension is an integral
multiple of 256 pixels differing by eight pixels from the
other. Another invention form has a scanning printhead
making multiple passes across a print medium to form swaths
of marks, a mechanism to define an offset smaller than at
least one of the two dimensions, and a unit to index one
mask by that offset between forming of successive swaths.
This is valuable if DM and PM are established by preprogrammed
circuits ( e. g.  an ASIC) or algorithms and one
dimension is  fixed  at an integral multiple or factor of the
other, with the system being practically incapable of small
(or any) changes in the dimensions. Another invention form
is a print method that establishes and operates a rendition
stage using a DM ― and a PM stage using a PM. The two
masks have corresponding dimensions, one an integral multiple
or factor of the other ― and also have an interaction
that defines a spatial periodicity within a range to which
human vision is sensitive. The method includes extending
the period well outside that range, by causing one dimension
to act larger, as regards the interaction, preferably
by a factor of two or more, ideally eight. To do this one
mask is indexed by an offset under half the mask dimensions;
the factor is the ratio of one mask dimension and
the offset. The period is the minimum common multiple of
the enlarged dimension and the other.
