Title: Composition and method for investigating alimentar functions
Inventor: CHRISTENSEN FINN NORRING
IPC: A61K51/00
Filed: 1983-04-25
Abstract: Enterally administrable diagnostic compositions for investigating alimentary functions comprise mul ple units of a size of at the most 5 mm, preferably between 0.5 and 1.3 mm, in particular between 0.7 and 1.0 mm, each uni- comprising a tracer-binding agent such as an ion exchange -ssin to which a radioactive tracer substance with a half-life of at the most 5 days, in particular <sup>99m</sup>Tc, <sup>113</sup>In, <sup>111</sup>In and <sup>129</sup>Cs, is associated, the tracer-binding agent being formulated with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, in particular granulating excipients in such a way that the exposure of the gastrointestinal mucosa to the tracer-binding agent is reduced and that the units do not disintegrate during the passage through the gastrointestinal tract. Preferred units comprise cross-sectionally substantially homogeneous mutti-component cores in which the tracer-binding agent is granulated with one or more excipients and which are optionally coated.Preferred units comprise cross-sectionally substantially homogeneous multi-component cores made by granulating the tracer-binding agent with granulating excipients, the cores being coated with a diffusion coating. The labelling of the composition is performed at the site of use by immersing the units containing the tracer-binding agent in a solution of the tracer substance. The formulation of the tracer-binding agent with the excipients and the coating reduces leaching and permits easy variation of parameters important to the behaviour of the units in the gastrointestinal system such as size, density and surface properties. Tracer substances are normally present in an amount from about 2 to about 20% by weight, preferably from about 5 to about 10% by weight, calculated on the units. Due to low leaching and the non-disintegrating properties, the composition can be used to investiate gastric emptying also of the last 20% of a food bolus.

Title: Game system and image creating method
Inventor: KITSUTAKA SHIGERU
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 2001-01-23
Granted: 2004-04-14
Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a game system, program and image generating method which can generate a more realistic image with reduced processing load by using an alpha value set depending on a depth value. Z-value for each pixel in an original image is transformed into Z2-value that is formed of bits I to J which are positioned lower than the most significant bit in the Z-value. The alpha value for each pixel is set at a value corresponding to the Z2-value. Representation of the depth of field or fog image is enabled by using the alpha value to generate an image. The Z2-value is clamped to a given value depending on a bit value other than the bits I to J of the Z-value. Bits M to N and K to L (where K>=I>=L>M>=J>=N) in the Z-value are set as index numbers in LUT1 and LUT2 and used to perform texture mapping for transforming the Z-value into Z3- and Z4-values. These Z3- and Z4-values are used to determine the Z2-value.

Filed: 2000-08-09
Granted: 2004-03-31
Abstract: A Hard Disk Recorder (HDR) receives signals defining television programmes and programme schedule data. The HDR receives updated programme schedule data substantially constantly in a dedicated programme schedule data channel and outputs this data for display on a television screen. The HDR comprises a hard disk for recording programmes. A remote control selects programmes for recording from the displayed schedule. The HDR also receives schedule information included in each of the received television channels which information is used to control the hard disk to record pre-programmed programmes. The hard disk can simultaneously record two different television programmes received in different channels and to replay a currently broadcast programme offset in time. The HDR also receives transition signals indicating transitions between parts of programmes, such as advertisements and the "actual" programmes, which can be used to skip between transitions in recorded programmes replayed from the hard disk.
