Title: Television program delivery system
Inventor: HENDRICKS JOHN S
IPC: H04N19/00
Filed: 1993-12-02
Abstract: An expanded television program delivery system is described which allows viewers to select television and audio program choices from a series of menus. The primary components of the system include an operations center, a digital cable headend, and at least one set top terminal having a remote control. The system allows for a great number of television signals to be transmitted by using digital compression techniques. A combined signal is transmitted over satellite to a cable headend, which may modify the combined signal for changes or additions in programming or menu content. The combined or modified signal is subsequently distributed to individual set top terminals in the cable network. Menus are partially stored in a set top terminal in each subscriber's home and may be reprogrammed by signals sent from the operations center or headend. Numerous types of menus may be used, incorporating information included within the video/data signal received by the set top terminal. A remote control unit with icon buttons allows a subscriber to select programs based upon a series of major menus, submenus, and during program menus. Various data gathering and analysis techniques are used to compile programs watched information that in turn is used in packaging programs, customizing menu selections, targeting advertisements, and maintaining account and billing information.

Title: Methods and apparatus for use of optical forces for identification, characterization and/or sorting of particles
Inventor: SENYEI ANDREW E
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 2001-11-09
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for interacting light with particles, including but not limited to biological matter such as cells in unique and highly useful ways. Optophoresis consists of subjecting particles to various optical forces, especially optical gradient forces, and more particularly moving optical gradient forces, so as to obtain useful results. In biology, this technology represents a practical approach to probing the inner workings of a living cell, preferably without any dyes, labels or other markers. In one aspect, a particle may be characterized by determining its optophoretic constant or signature. For example, a diseased cell has a different optophoretic constant from a healthy cell, thereby providing information, or the basis for sorting. In the event of physical sorting, various forces may be used for separation, including fluidic forces, such as through the use of laminar flow, or optical forces, or mechanical forces, such as through adhesion. Various techniques for measuring the dielectric constant of particles are provided.

Title: A hybrid method for the coating of a substrate by a thermal application of the coating
Inventor: REFKE ARNO
IPC: C23C4/12
Filed: 2004-03-08
Abstract: In the method for the coating of a substrate (3), a hybrid coating method is carried out with a thermal process jet (2) which makes it possible to combine the properties of a thermal spray method with those of a reactive vapour phase deposition. The properties of the process jet are determined by controllable process parameters, in particular by the parameters of pressure, enthalpy, composition of a process gas mixture (G) and composition and form of application of a coating material (M). The coating material is partly or completely evaporated in dependence on the controllable parameters. The phases of the coating material present in vapour form (23b) and, optionally, in condensed, i.e. solid or liquid form, (23a) are at least partly deposited on the substrate. The relative proportion of vapour and/or of condensed phase for the coating material (23) transported in the process jet is determined by a diagnostic measuring method (D). The controllable process parameters are set with respect to desired values using such gained measured data (65). A regulation (C) for the direct manufacture of the coating, in particular of a multi-layer coating system (4), is carried out with respect to these desired values, which correspond to a pre-determined vapour proportion or to a proportion of a condensed phase.
