Title: Gradation correcting apparatus
Inventor: IZAWA YOSUKE
IPC: H04N5/45
Filed: 1993-05-06
Abstract: A gradation correcting apparatus which can be effectively incorporated into various video devices in order to display a small sub-display within the domain of main-display (what is called "Picture in Picture"), adjusting each gradation of the display automatically dependent on the characteristics of the respective input signal. By combining the window pulse outputted in synchronization with the main-display and the main- and sub-display switching signal, the gradation corrections of the displays are carried out by giving no gradation correction to the sub-display or by giving a proper correction to the same according to the sub-display signal in order to attain easy-to-see overall displays. 
     By employing this apparatus, since the luminance information related to the sub-display disposed within a main-display and the luminance information related to the main-display excluding the domain of the sub-display are independently inputted into the correction signal output means, the arithmetical processing of this information, including the mutual relationship between these, can be processed. 
     Moreover, since the signal delay caused by the arithmetic processing can be precisely compensated by means of said delay means, the gradation corrections for the main- and sub-displays can be exactly executed according to the respective luminance level information, realizing an easy-to-see sub-display also.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is a clamping device with a releasable connection of two profile pieces (1, 4), of which one (1) has an undercut longitudinal groove (2) and the other (4) exhibits a box-shaped hollow profile (5) into which there is introduced a clamping piece (6) with a hammer head (7) which engages into the longitudinal groove (2) and engages behind lips which delimit said longitudinal groove, the clamping piece (6) having an oblique surface (11) which runs transversely to its longitudinal axis and with which there interacts a clamping screw (15) which has a conical tip and is accessible through an opening (14) in the hollow profile (5). In order to simplify the design, the invention proposes that the clamping piece (6) be designed in one part and be composed of the head piece (8), of the tension piece (10) and of a resilient loop (9) which connects head piece (8) and tension piece (10), is bent through at least 180 DEG  and the elasticity of which is sufficient in order to lift the head piece (8) with the hammer head (7) when the clamping screw (15) is loosened. An eccentric may also be provided instead of the clamping screw (15). <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention is directed toward joining an optical fiber to a waveguide on a silicon or silica substrate. In a preferred embodiment, a discontinuity such as a notch is provided in the substrate along each side of a waveguide. The notches, which extend back from the end of each waveguide form air gaps between the ends of adjacent waveguides. Now, when an optical fiber is butt coupled to a waveguide on a substrate with adhesive, the notches at either side of the waveguides prevent adhesive from flowing along the edge of the substrate and onto the end of an adjacent waveguide. In addition, the adhesive flows around and encapsulates the substrate projections defined by the notches along the ends of the waveguide to provide a sturdy butt connection.

Abstract: An implantable medical device having long lasting resistance to staphylococcal biofilm colonization is provided. Implantable medical devices such as catheters, shunts, prosthesis, pacemakers, etc. are susceptible to colonization by biofilm adherent microorganisms, especially staphylococci. While systemic staphylococcal infections are effectively treated by many antibiotics, vancomycin being the antibiotic of choice, this same bacteria when encased in biofilm adhering to indwelling medical devices is generally resistant to antibiotic treatment. By the present invention, the combination of rifampin and minocycline or the combination of rifampin and novobiocin when coated on the surfaces of implantable medical devices unexpectedly provides superior antibacterial activity against staphylococcal biofilm colonization on the coated surface of indwelling medical devices.

Abstract: Procédé de réalisation de l'accès sélectif dans un système radiotéléphonique à répartition temporelle, par exemple un système d'accès avec multiplexage en fréquence ou temporel, comprenant des canaux de trafic numérique et des canaux de commande agencés de sorte que quatre canaux de trafic (TC) et deux canaux de commande (CC) soient compris dans une trame d'accès avec multiplexage en fréquence. Une station de base (BS) émet en continu des indicateurs (B/I, R/N, R/F) dans les tranches de temps (1, 4) des canaux de commande. Une station mobile voulant accéder au système répond en envoyant un premier mot de message (W1) dans la tranche de temps indiquée par la station de base dans un premier indicateur (B/I). Lorsque la station mobile (MS1) veut transmettre plusieurs mots de message (W2, W3), la station de base (BS) réserve une ou plusieurs tranches de temps à cette fin en émettant le premier indicateur (B/I), bien que cet indicateur signale désormais aux autres stations mobiles (MS2, MS3) que ces tranches de temps sont occupées. Par ailleurs, la station de base émet un indicateur (R/N) signalant la réception ou la non-réception d'un mot de message par la station mobile (MS1). La station de base peut émettre un nouvel indicateur (R/F) signalant qu'une tranche de temps donnée est attribuée à une station mobile donnée (MS3) à partir du début d'une procédure d'accès, et de ce fait ne peut être utilisée par quelque autre station mobile (MS1, MS2) que ce soit.

Abstract: A sustained-release microsphere produced by enclosing a hydrophobic antipsychotic such as bromperidol or haloperidol in a base comprising a biocompatible polymer such as polylactic acid or a lactic acid/glycolic acid copolymer. It can exhibit a desired pharmacological effect, where a long-term administration is necessary, by injecting once every 1 to 8 weeks instead of every day. As a result, a remarkable improvement can be expected in the compliance during maintenance therapy. In addition, the use of the biocompatible polymer serves to entirely dispense with surgical operations such as implantation, facilitates hypodermic and intramuscular injection just like the case of suspending injection, and can dispense with the widrawal of the microsphere. Furthermore, the microsphere can be administered with little aversion and pain.

Abstract: This invention pertains to novel protocols for the screening and rapid identification of compounds that specifically inhibit a predetermined enzyme or metabolic target site or pathway that is specific to plants. Enzymes which are specifically or indirected affected by the novel screens include glutamine synthetase (GS), 3-deoxy-D- arabino -heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (DAHP), dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHPS), acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) and phosphoribosyl anthranilate transferase (PAT). The enzymatic pathways targeted by the novel screening protocols are unique to plants, bacteria and fungi and are present at low levels. Thus, inhibiting these enzymes should present little or no toxicity to humans or animals. The screens provide an efficient and rapid method for assessing the herbicidal potential of test compounds. Lead compounds identified by the novel screening protocols can be used as herbicides to inhibit growth.
