Title: Filtrage du papillotement et compensation du surbalayage
Inventor: HERZ WILLIAM S
IPC: H04N5/21
Filed: 1998-09-29
Abstract: Selon cette invention, un appareil filtre le papillotement et, simultanément, contracte verticalement plusieurs lignes originales pour former des lignes compensées. Le dispositif utilise un calculateur de coefficient (704) et un processeur de lignes (700), les deux étant commandés par un contrôleur. Le calculateur de coefficients fournit au processeur de lignes des coefficients de compensation. Le processeur de lignes (700) produit des sommes pondérées des lignes originales, les pondérations étant déterminées par les coefficients de compensation. Les coefficients de compensation sont choisis pour effectuer simultanément le filtrage du papillotement et la contraction verticale. Les sommes pondérées constituent les lignes compensées.

Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un dispositif permettant d'effectuer une incision dans une matière (32) avec un nuage de plasma harmonieux. Un système (10) générateur haute fréquence génère un signal électromagnétique pulsé ou continu qui est transmis par une pointe (28) d'électrode d'incision à émetteur actif. Cette onde électromagnétique générée est utilisée pour déclencher un nuage de plasma par des processus tels que l'ionisation thermique, et un effet photoélectrique qui déclenche ensuite un effet d'avalanche des particules atomiques chargées à la surface de la pointe (28) d'électrode d'incision à émetteur actif. Cette onde électromagnétique est adaptée en impédance, en fréquence, en courant, accordée au nuage de plasma présentant une réduction de la turbulence et du chaos des particules atomiques, et forme un revêtement sur la surface de la pointe (28) d'électrode d'incision à émetteur actif. L'effet bouteille magnétique, l'effet de pincement et l'effet tunel sont utilisés pour piéger, contenir, comprimer, focaliser et amplifier l'énergie du nuage de plasma d'incision.

Abstract: A smart card comprises an IC module and an antenna for non-contact transmission. The IC module has both a contact-type function and a non-contact-type function. In the contact-type function, power reception and signal transmission/reception is effected via an electrical contact. In the non-contact-type function, power reception and signal transmission/reception is effected in a non-contact state by an electromagnetic coupling system without providing the IC card with an electrical contact. The IC module and the antenna comprise first and second coupler coils, respectively, which are disposed to be closely coupled to each other, and the IC module and the antenna are coupled in a non-contact state by transformer coupling. An antenna coil is disposed so as not to overlap an engagement portion for the IC module, which is a region of an external terminal electrode serving as a contact-type electrode, an embossing region, or a magnetic stripe region. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An automatic developing apparatus is proposed to satisfactorily transport
a film by preventing a treatment liquid 1 from being passed up onto gears and
the like located above the surface of the treatment liquid 1 and to restrain the
treatment liquid from being oxidized and decreasing in its quantity. 
     A cylindrical shaft 21 having an axis of rotation extending normal to a
liquid surface L of the treatment liquid 1 is so arranged as to cross the liquid
surface L in order to transmit a torque from the above of the liquid surface L to
the below of the liquid surface L via the shaft 21. Since the shaft 21 is rotated
about the axis of rotation extending normal to the liquid surface L, the treatment
liquid 1 in contact with the shaft 21 is left in contact therewith at a specified
height position, thereby eliminating a likelihood that the treatment liquid is
passed up onto bevel gears 23, 15, etc. located above the liquid surface L via
the shaft 21. Further, the rotation of the shaft about its axis of rotation does
not cause the treatment liquid 1 near the liquid surface L to be scooped up.
This restrains the treatment liquid 1 from being reacted and mixed with air.

of operation thereof. The printer includes a rotatable polygon mirror (20) having a
plurality of adjacent facets. The mirror includes a reference facet (22) and signal
generator for generating a polygon index signal which defines a reference
position. A light source (14) for directing a light beam is provided for reflection of the

for each of the facets in response to the light beam passing over the sensor. The
printer is provided with a switch for placing printer in a first set-up mode or
writing mode. When in set-up mode a counter (48) measures a first time period T S 
from the polygon index signal (42) to a first line start signal (44) generated by the reference
facet. A counter (50) also measuring a second time period T LS  from a line start signal
to the next line start signal generated from the next adjacent facet of the rotatable
polygon mirror. A first facet synch signal T RI  is determined (12) using the first time
period T S  from said reference facet. T RI  and T LS  are stored in memory. The
printer turns on and off the light source in a controlled manner from the
information obtained during the set-up mode.

Abstract: A media storage device includes an embedded filter for manipulating universal clock based streams of data as they are written to or read from the media storage device. The media storage device will also manipulate streams of data which are not being written to or read from the media storage device. Preferably the embedded filter within the media storage device is an isochronous data pipe which will receive programmed instructions from an external controller and manipulate streams of data according to the programmed instructions in real time, coordinated with the universal clock. Alternatively, the isochronous data pipe includes fixed firmware for performing the appropriate manipulations. The media storage device is also preferably coupled to an IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus structure. As streams of data are received by the media storage device during a write operation, those streams of data can be manipulated into a different format by the embedded filter before they are stored on the media within the media storage device. As streams of data are being transmitted from the media storage device during a read operation, those streams of data can be manipulated into a different format by the embedded filter before they are transmitted onto the IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus structure. In both instances, the universal clock can be used to synchronize the data streams. The media storage device will also utilize the embedded filter to manipulate streams of data being transmitted between two other devices on the IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus structure.

Abstract: A method of separating enantiomeric lactam esters. The lactam esters are contacted with a biocatalyst, such as an enzyme or a microorganism, in a solution wherein only one enantiomer is selectively hydrolyzed to give the optically active isomer of the corresponding acid.

Abstract: A method for making a directed antisense library against a target transcript is described. A cDNA of the target transcript is cloned in an appropriate cloning vector. Next, a plurality of deletion derivatives of the cloned cDNA is prepared such that the deletions serially extend into the cDNA from one end thereof. The resulting deletion library is then treated such that cDNA is removed from the other end of each cDNA insert, thus obtaining a fragment library having fragments of a selected size. An antisense gene is then inserted into each fragment of the fragment library, resulting in the directed antisense library. An illustrative antisense gene in the hammerhead ribozyme catalytic core. Plasmids for making the antisense library, plasmids and methods for making the fragment library, and a method for identifying target sites for antisense-mediated gene inhibition are also described.
