Abstract: Dans la compression d'un symbole exprimé en mode point binaire, en vue d'obtenir un taux de compression élevé, on emploie un développement d'un codage par longueur de plage où l'on considère que le symbole est constitué de plusieurs segments, et que chaque segment est constitué de plusieurs lignes continues. On utilise un des divers procédés de codage pour coder chaque segment, en procédant au codage de chaque ligne ou groupe de lignes de ce segment en vue de former un code de ligne. Les codes de lignes se présentent sous forme d'un train dans l'ordre où les lignes apparaissent dans le segment, certaines au moins de ces lignes étant codées, chacune, en fonction de sa position et de sa longueur par rapport à la ligne précédente du segment. Le train des codes de ligne formant les segments se présentent ensuite en séquence, comme une série. La décomposition du symbole en plusieurs segments supprime la nécessité de coder les blancs entre ces segments, ceux-ci pouvant être assimilés à l'arrière-plan. Par contre, dans le codage par longueur de plage simple, un tel blanc a tendance à produire des plages un procédé de codage approprié, on peut prendre en compte des éléments spécifiques des symboles (ou des parties de ceux-ci) afin de parvenir à un taux de compression, qui peut être supérieur à deux fois la valeur du taux que l'on obtient avec un codage par longueur de plage simple. Beaucoup de symboles ont un degré de corrélation élevé entre des rangées horizontales de pixels adjacentes verticalement, même après les avoir décomposé en plusieurs segments, ce qui peut être mis à profit pour produire des taux de compression élevés.

Abstract: A quadrifilar helix antenna system capable of providing a positive gain, quasi-hemispherical antenna pattern over widely separate transmit and receive frequency bands. This new antenna system comprises concentrically arranged, but electrically isolated, transmit and receive quadrifilar helix antennas, each of which comprises two bifilar helices arranged orthogonally and excited in phase quadrature. In the preferred embodiment, the antenna elements forming each bifilar helix are short-circuited at their distal ends, and energy is induced from the receive antenna and coupled to the transmit antenna via receive and transmit 90° hybrid couplers which are electrically connected to the bifilar loops of the respective receive and transmit antennas. Also provided are switches or other disconnection means which are used to electrically isolate the transmit antenna during periods when the antenna is receiving a signal and to electrically isolate the receive antenna during periods of transmission. In the preferred embodiments, these disconnecting means are implemented as PIN diodes or radio frequency Gallium arsenide field effect transistor switches.

Abstract: A device for preparing beverages of the type having a closed compartment (c2), an open compartment (c1), an ascension pipe (23) connecting the compartments, and a filtering device (f1) between the ascension pipe (23) and the open compartment (c1), has some disadvantages in that an external heating source is needed, thereby increasing the risk of fire and burning the operating persons. Further, the infusion time is either fixed, being decided by the distance between the lower orifice of the ascending pipe and the bottom of the closed compartment or left to the user to estimate. The inventor has consequently suggested, that the bottom of the closed compartment (c2) at least has two levels (H1, H4), one level of deminished elevation (H4) in a relatively small area around the lower orifice of the ascension pipe (23), the level (H3) of which is at least below the other elevated level (H1) of a relatively large area, said large area being equipped with electrical heating means (he1, he2) controlled by switching means and at least one temperature sensitive means ( theta ) for controlling the switching means, said large area of the bottom being surrounded by a rim (25) for holding a residual of liquid. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A warming system is provided for convectively warming a patient during a progressive medical procedure, such as cardiac surgery. The system includes one or more inflatable thermal blankets that are adjustably configurable to cover one or both of a patient's legs. Each thermal blanket includes an inflatable covering formed from an upper sheet and a base sheet attached at a plurality of locations. The base sheet includes a plurality of apertures that direct an inflating medium from the inflatable covering toward the patient. A portion of each thermal blanket is initially furled using a retaining device that prevents an inflating medium from inflating the furled portion. The non-furled portion of each thermal blanket is allowed to inflate and cover a patient. Prior to inflation, the furled portion of each thermal blanket defines a thermal blanket edge with demarcates an access area for a surgical procedure. When the retaining strip is removed, the furled portion is unfurled by action of the inflating medium and self erects into a continuation of the previously inflated nonfurled portion of the thermal blanket to cover the surgical access site. A surgical drape may be placed over the tops of the thermal blankets in order to properly position each blanket on the patient, to maintain the temperature controlled medium proximate to the patient, and to perform the usual barrier functions of a drape. In the operation, a heater/blower that includes a compressor and a heater supplies heated air, under pressure, to an inlet opening in the one or more inflatable thermal blankets. The heated, pressurized air is distributed throughout each inflatable blanket, and flows to the patient through the apertures in the blanket's base sheet.

Abstract: A specific region of chromosome 10 (10q23.3) has been implicated by series of studies to contain a tumor suppressor gene involved in gliomas, as well as a number of other human cancers. One gene within this region was identified, and the corresponding coding region of the gene represents a novel 47 kD protein. A domain of this product has an exact match to the conserved catalytic domain of protein tyrosine phosphatases, indicating a possible functional role in phosphorylation events. Sequence analyses demonstrated that a number of exons of the gene were deleted in tumor cell lines used to define the 10q23.3 region, leading to the classification of this gene as a tumor suppressor. Further analyses have demonstrated the presence of a number of mutations in the gene in both glioma and prostate carcinoma cells. Methods for diagnosing and treating cancers related to this tumor suppressor, designated as TS10q23.3, also are disclosed.

Abstract: A device to provide body fluid flow control in the form of a valve to be located within a duct or passageway. The device is controlled through pressure above a preselected threshold. Bulk resilience about a passageway in a valve body provides the mechanism for controlled flow. One-way valve operation may be provided through a flap or through a pressure differential on the valve body depending upon the direction of flow. A frame structure positioned within a resilient seal includes longitudinally elongate elements which may be of spring material, malleable material or heat recoverable material so as to accomplish an initial insertion state and an expanded anchoring state. A valve support transitions between the resilient seal portion and the valve body to insure that the states do not change the threshold opening pressure. Insertion devices may be employed to position and actuate a change of state of the frame in the body duct or passageway.
