Abstract: The invention relates to a method for linking two adjacent plastic work pieces (2, 3). The inventive method is characterized in that the intended contact zone (K) of at least one of the two work pieces (2) with which the latter adjoins to the other work piece (3) is at least partially subjected to a high- energy radiation to such an extent that the glass transition temperature is reduced in a marginal zone (R). The two work pieces (2, 3) are brought in the desired position relative to each other. For establishing the connection of the two work pieces (2, 3) at least the marginal zone (R) modified by the previous radiation process is heated at least in its surface area to a temperature that is higher than the glass transition temperature of the marginal zone (R) modified by the radiation process but lower than the glass transition temperature of the zones of the work pieces (2, 3) that have not been modified. The invention also relates to an article (1) produced according to the inventive method that consists of two work pieces (2, 3) that are linked without using foreign matte. The inventive article is characterized in that recesses (V), especially channel-shaped recesses, are introduced in at least one contact zone (K) of the two work pieces (2).

Title: Fluorescent intensity assay for duplex and triplex nucleic acid hybridization in solution utilizing fluorescent intercalators
Inventor: DAKSIS JASMINE I
IPC: G01N33/542
Filed: 2000-12-21
Granted: 2012-09-25
Abstract: The invention provides a homogeneous assay for nucleic acid hybridization. The fluorescent intensity of a hybridization medium containing a probe, a target and an intercalating agent is a function of the hybridization efficiency of the probe with respect to the target. The assay can detect specific hybridization between single-stranded probes and non-denatured double-stranded targets to form triplexes, thus obviating the need to denature the targets. The assay can also detect duplex hybridization complexes. The assay can be used to identify accessible regions in folded nucleotide sequences, to determine the number of mismatched pairs in a hybridization complex, and to map genomes.

Title: System and method for progressively transforming and coding digital data
Inventor: MALVAR HENRIQUE S
IPC: H04N1/64
Filed: 2003-03-24
Granted: 2012-07-17
Abstract: A system and method facilitating progressively transforming and coding digital pictures is provided. The present invention via employment of a multi- resolution lapped transform provides for progressive rendering as well as mitigation of blocking artifacts and ringing artifacts as compared to many conventional compression systems. The invention includes a color space mapper, a multi-resolution lapped transform, a quantizer, a scanner and an entropy encoder. The multi-resolution lapped transform outputs transform coefficients, for example, first transform coefficients and second transform coefficients. A multi-resolution representation can be obtained utilizing second transform coefficients of the multi-resolution lapped transform. The color space mapper maps an input image to a color space representation of the input image. The color space representation of the input image is then provided to the multi-resolution lapped transform. The quantizer receives the first transform coefficients and/or the second transform coefficients and provides an output of quantized coefficients for use by the scanner and/or the entropy encoder. The scanner scans the quantized coefficients in order to produce a one-dimensional vector for use by the entropy encoder. The entropy encoder encodes the quantized coefficients received from the quantizer and/or the scanner resulting in data compression.
