Abstract: A method for controlling organisms which comprises growing,
decreasing, activating or inactivating cells, bacteria, viruses or fungi at an
N-surface or a P-surface of a ceramic which is formed by treating the
ceramic by polarization; and a material for controlling organisms, a
method for selective adsorption of proteins, a material for selective
adsorption of proteins, a cement material for filling bones and dental
applications and a biomaterial, in which the ceramic treated by
polarization is utilized. 
     By utilizing difference in properties among surfaces of the ceramic
treated by polarization, growth, decrease, activation or inactivation of
organisms such as cells, bacteria, viruses or fungi can be controlled.
Therefore, the above methods and materials are useful in the medical,
dental and biochemical areas.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus can apply a
smoothing process to multiple value image data without
generation of errors due to an unnecessary smoothing
process. A template matching process unit (3)
determines whether or not the original image data is to
be subjected to a smoothing process, and outputs the
original image data together with a selection signal (9)
indicative of a result of the determination. A
smoothing process unit (4) selectively applies a
smoothing process to the original image data based on
the determination of the template matching process unit
(3) so as to output smoothed image data. A first
control signal source outputs a first control signal
(10a) representing whether or not application of the
smoothing process is permitted on an individual image
basis. A second control signal source outputs a second
control signal (10b) representing whether or not
application of the smoothing process is permitted on an
individual pixel basis. A selector (5) selects one of
the original image data and the smoothed image data base
on the selection signal (9), the first control signal
(10a) and the second control signal (10b) supplied
thereto.

Abstract: A position sensing device (200) is disclosed wherein the position
sensing device (200) may determine the velocity and position of an object
(100) relative to a surface (310) as the object (100) is moved relative to the
surface (310). The position sensing device (200) may comprise two depth
measurement devices (204, 210) that are mounted to the object (100) on an
axis that is substantially parallel to the direction of movement (350) between
object (100) and the surface (310). The depth measurement devices (204,
210) are spaced a predetermined distance (236) from each other. The depth
measurement devices (204, 210) measure the contours of the surface (310)
as the object (100) is moved relative to the surface (310) and may output
data representative of the surface (310) contour to a processor. Accordingly,
the processor (140) receives two data signals (410, 450) that are out of
phase wherein the phase shift is proportional to the relative velocity between
the object (100) and the surface (310). The processor (140) may then
perform an analysis on the data signals to determine the velocity of the
object (100) relative to the surface (310). Likewise, the processor (140) may
also determine the displacement of the object (100) relative to the surface
(310) during a time interval.

Abstract: Methods for engineering transgenic organisms that synthesize polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) containing 3-hydroxyhexanoate as comonomer have been developed. These processes are based on genetically engineered bacteria such as  Escherichia coli  or in plant crops as production systems which include PHA biosynthetic genes from PHA producers. In a preferred embodiment of the method, additional genes are introduced in wild type or transgenic polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) producers, thereby creating new strains that synthesize 3HH monomers which are incorporated into PHAs. The 3HH monomer preferably is derived in microbial systems using butanol or butyrate as feedstocks, which are precursors of 3-hydroxyhexanoyl-CoA. Pathways for  in vivo  production of butyrol-CoA specifically encompassing butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity are provided.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for rewarding desired consumer behavior with ISP service is disclosed. A host computer tracks a purchase history of a consumer, the purchase history corresponding to at least one purchase of the consumer. The host copmuter determines whether the consumer qualifies to receive free Internet service from an ISP based on the consumer's purchase history and causes a store computer to deliver to teh consumer a reward, redeemable for the free service, if the consumer qualifies to receive the free service. Offline and online purchase histories of consumers may be used to target offers for free ISP service. According to another aspect of the invention, the store computer delivers an offer to a consumer. The offer includes a reward redeemable for free Internet service from an Internet service provider and a condition that must be met by the consumer in order for the consumer to receive the reward. The host computer then determines whether the consumer has met the condition, and the store computer delivers the reward to teh consumer if the consumer has met the condition. In alternative embodiments, Web servers perform portions of the processing.
