Title: Television transmission system with differential encoding of transform coefficients
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1989-05-03
Granted: 1993-08-11
Abstract: In a television transmission system for digital picture signals each picture is divided into sub-pictures of N x N picture elements for the purpose of limiting the bit rate. Each sub-picture is subjected to a two-dimensional forward transform to determine coefficients. These coefficients are converted into a series of serially occurring coefficients in which the AC coefficients in this series are arranged in such a way that the magnitude variation of these AC coefficients in the series is monotonous. The magnitudes of the AC coefficients thus arranged are subjected to a differential encoding so that the difference between the magnitudes of two successive AC coefficients is transmitted instead of the magnitude of the AC coefficients themselves.

Abstract: A dual sensing intrusion detection system comprising a passive infrared radiation detection sensor (12) which generates a first output signal (32) in response to the detection of an intruder in the volume of space, a second detection sensor (6) which is directed to the same volume of space and generates a second output signal (46) in response to detection of the intruder and a switch (38) which activates the second detection sensor in response to the detection of the intruder by the infrared radiation detector. Logic circuit (36) receives the first and second output signals and produces an alarm signal in response thereto to indicate the detection of the presence of the intruder in the volume of space.

Abstract: Methods for the diagnosis and prognosis of immunosuppressive conditions are disclosed, involving the detection of a particular isoform of ferritin, placental ferritin (PLF), in patient samples such as sera or on peripheral blood lymphocytes. PLF is elevated in immunosuppressed patients at early stages of disease; by contrast, adult isoferritins are elevated at late stages of immunodeficiency. Depending upon the nature of the disease associated with the immunodeficiency, the elevated levels of PLF detected at early stages may remain elevated or diminish as disease progresses. Examples are described in which elevated levels of PLF were detected at very early stages of HIV-infection. The elevated levels diminished as disease progressed from ARC to AIDS. By contrast, adult isoforms of ferritin became elevated at late stages of disease.

Abstract: In a position-measuring installation according to Figure 2, a ray bundle is diffracted at a first diffraction grating (202). The component ray bundles (- phi ,  theta . and + phi ) impinge on a second diffraction grating (203) which is tuned with a triple prism (206) in such a way that the component ray bundles (- phi ,  theta . and + phi ) intersect at a single point and emerge once again. On subsequently passing through the diffraction gratings (203 and 202), the component rays are in each case diffracted once again and then interfere. The interfering component ray bundles impinge on a detector device (207) by which they are converted into mutually phase-shifted measuring signals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of producing fusion proteins including those with dual biological activities. These methods include the provision of first and second DNA sequence encoding a first and second polypeptide, respectively, the digestion of the first DNA sequence at a restriction site adjacent its 5' terminus, and the ligation of a linker/adapter sequence (1/a) to the restricted end of the first DNA sequence, thereby forming a cassette. The 1/a includes, at one end, that portion of the first DNA sequence extending from its terminus nearest the restriction site to the restriction site, and at the other end, one side of a splice site. A eucaryotic host cell is transfected with the cassette and the second DNA sequence having, at one end, one side of a splice site compatible with the side of the splice site on the 1/a. The transfected host cell is cultured to express the transfected DNA as a single chain fusion protein. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a process and an apparatus for separating solid particles from aqueous suspensions by filtration with continuous cleaning of the filter surfaces, a horizontal introduction of the suspensions is to be made possible even under restricted spatial conditions. According to the invention this is achieved in that the suspension is set in rotation in a plane perpendicular to gravity, a water mist forming under the action of gravity, which water mist is passed over a porous, cylindrical filter surface (5) and in that the solid particles are enriched in the rotating water mist, while the purified water passes through the porous filter surface (5) and is conducted away from there. The separation forces are then applied by utilisation of capillary effects, the sieve device being preferably composed of a double-action filter element, which has an increased development of adhesion forces. The filter element has finely configured capillaries which pass through the sieve body and thus enable solids separation. <IMAGE>
