Abstract: An object movement estimator (400) predicts optical flow by estimating changes in sensed images using one-dimensional correlations. Sensed image portions are stored at a first instant of time and compared with sensed image portions at a second instant of time. An optimal flow is estimated by performing a one-dimensional correlation of the sensed image portions at the first and second instants of time, and a time-to-contact is estimated based on the predicted optical flow thus obtained.

Abstract: A second spectrum parameter of which degree is lower 
than that of a first spectrum parameter is calculated 
based on the first spectrum parameter that is output 
from an encoder. A spectrum postfilter generates a 
transfer function having a denominator and a numerator 
wherein said first spectrum parameter is included in 
said denominator and said second spectrum parameter is 
included in said numerator, and filters the reduced 
signal with this transfer function. In addition, it 
adaptively generates a compensation coefficient based on 
the first and second parameters. A compensation filter 
generates a transfer function based the compensation 
coefficient and filters an output of the spectrum 
postfilter with this transfer function.

Abstract: Nucleic acids can be made available for amplification or other treatment after lysis by contacting the lysate with specific weakly basic polymers to form a precipitate with the nucleic acids at acidic pH. After removing non-precipitated materials, the pH is then made basic, thereby releasing the nucleic acids from the polymer. This method for preparing specimen samples is simple and quite rapid, and the released nucleic acids can be further treated in hybridization assays or amplification procedures. The weakly basic polymers are water-soluble and cationic at acidic pH, but neutral in charge at basic pH.

Abstract: A magnetic conveyor system for transporting test samples in tubes disposed in a sample rack having a magnetic or magnetically attractive region is described. The magnetic conveyor system includes a drive system, a magnet coupled to the drive system and movable in response to the drive system and a tray having a first surface adapted to receive the sample rack. The magnet is spaced a predetermined distance from the first surface of the tray such that the magnet provides a magnetic force at the surface of the tray. The magnetic force engages the magnetically attractive region of the sample rack disposed on the tray to thereby move the sample rack along the first surface of the tray in response to movement of the drive system. When the tray reaches the end of the rack it is moved onto a processing queue tray where it is available for test purposes. A barcode reader reads a bar code on each test sample as it is placed on the process queue to identify one or more tests to perform. When all samples have received the individual tests the rack exits to an output queue for disposal. When a test must be made on an immediate basis out of normal processing order a sample rack can be inserted into the process queue via a priority rack feed. In the indicated manner, testing can continue without interruption as new racks are added and completed racks removed.

Abstract: An arrangement to automatically change between a scrambled digital data output and descrambled digital data output of a receiver by inserting a control signal conforming to a program provider's policy into a transmission signal. In a receiving side, a descrambler descrambles a channel-decoded signal, a demultiplexer demultiplexes the multiplexed signal from the descrambler into encoded video and audio data for output to a source decoder, and extracts the control information inserted in the transmitting side for output to a switch or CPU. The CPU decrypts a control signal from the control information extracted by the demultiplexer to determine whether the scrambled digital signal or descrambled digital signal is appropriate for output, and outputs a changeover control signal depending on the result of decryption. A switch selects the output of a scrambled digital signal from a stage prior to the descrambler, or a descrambled digital signal from a stage subsequent to the descrambler, depending on the changeover control signal from the CPU. Thereby, a scrambled digital signal output or descrambled digital signal output can automatically be changed over depending on a program provider's policy.
