Title: Method and apparatus for communicating compressed video using trellis coded qam
IPC: H04N19/00
Filed: 1992-07-23
Abstract: Coded modulation schemes based on codes for QPSK modulation are directly incorporated into QAM based modulation systems, forming trellis coded QAM, to provide a practical coding structure that is both efficient in bandwidth and data reliability. Concatenated coding with QPSK based trellis coding and symbol error correcting coding is used. In an encoder (Fig. 2), an N-bit QAM constellation pattern (80) is divided into four subsets, each including N/4 symbol points of the constellation pattern. A two-bit QPSK codeword (92) is assigned to each of the four subsets (82, 84, 86, 88). A symbol to be transmitted is first encoded using an outer error correcting encoding algorithm, such as a Reed-Solomon code (12). Part of the symbol is then encoded (48) with an inner code that comprises a rate 1/2 trellis encoding algorithm to provide a QPSK codeword, which is mapped (50) with the remaining bits of the symbol to provide a modulation function, wherein the remaining bits (94) correlate the symbol with one of the symbol points included in the subset defined by the QPSK codeword. At a receiver (Fig. 3), the recovered modulation function is pruned (62) to provide a set of metrics (66) corresponding to the subsets and to provide a plurality of conditional determinations of the constellation point identified by the remaining bits. The metrics are used in a rate 1/2 trellis decoder (68) to recover a first bit that is encoded using a rate 1/2 encoding algorithm to recreate the QPSK codeword. One of a plurality of the conditional determinations is selected in response to the recreated codeword. The selected conditional determination is combined with the recovered first bit to provide a decoded output that is further decoded using a symbol error correcting algorithm such as a Reed-Solomon code (36). <IMAGE>

Title: Quick connect/disconnect hose coupling
Inventor: CAMPAU DANIEL N
IPC: F16L37/098
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a connector for joining fluid flow passage-ways in a fluid handling system. The connector may be manually manipulated, without using any tools, to quickly and easily couple or decouple the mating connector components. Those components include a plug (12) having a cylindrical plug wall and a radially extending flange, and a mating socket (14) having a cylindrical socket wall and a pair of diametrically opposed retainers (24). The retainers each comprise an axially extending flexible lever (26) spaced from the socket wall. The lever is joined to the socket wall at a base or proximal end and has a latch (34) at its free or distal end. The lever is also joined to the socket wall by a fulcrum wall or living hinge positioned intermediate the ends of the lever. A split lock ring is disposed between the socket wall and each retainer and is movable from a position adjacent the base of each retainer to a position remote from the base of each retainer. The latch at the free end of each retainer is engageable with the plug flange to prevent disengagement of the plug and socket when the levers are in their free, unstressed state. However, the levers may be manually deflected or depressed at a flexing portion thereof when the lock ring is positioned adjacent the retainer bases to disengage each latch from the plug flange and thereby permit axial decoupling of the plug and socket. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and system for forming strings of pocketed coil springs
Inventor: GRAF ROLAND
IPC: B68G9/00
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: A string (12) of pocketed coil springs (14) is formed by inserting compressed springs between upper and lower plies of a folded, preferably thermally weldable fabric (16). The springs are maintained in a compressed configuration while a longitudinal seam (54) joins the free edges of the thermally welded fabric (16) together. Subsequently, the compressed springs (14) are allowed to relax into an expanded configuration after which a transverse seam (80) is formed in the fabric (16) between the adjacent springs (14) thereby encapsulating each spring (14) within a fabric pocket (86). The string (12) of pocketed coil springs (14) is advantageously formed without the need for reorienting the springs (14) after being inserted between the plies (24, 26) of the fabric (16) and thereby avoiding the disadvantages and complications associated with turning or reorienting the pocketed coil spring (14).

Title: Method and apparatus for indicating a load
Inventor: WAXMAN CORY S
IPC: F16B35/00
Filed: 1997-07-07
Abstract: The present invention provides an innovative method and apparatus for determining continuous, visual clamp load status during tightening and throughout the life of a fastener. The present invention provides a nondeformable element (or in some cases elements) that is suitably configured and positioned within a fastener to amplify the deformation of the fastener as a load is applied to the fastener. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a lever is connected at an internal pivot point of a cartridge. One end of the lever rests upon an abutment within the fastener, while the other end serves as an indicator. As the fastener is tightened, the fastener will elongate causing the abutment to move away form the lever end. As the abutment moves, the lever rotates causing the indicator end to move relative to the visual scale which is calibrated to indicate clamping force. If the fastener loses tension, the fastener will contract, thereby forcing the lever to rotate toward its original position. Assembly and calibration of the device requires the simple, inexpensive process of rotating a cartridge.

Title: Genes of il-12p40 subunit mutated for improving the activity of il-12 and use thereof for dna vaccine adjuvant
Inventor: SUNG YOUNG CHUL
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2001-03-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to the IL-12p40 subunit mutant gene which can produce IL-12 (interleukin 12) of human and mouse origin with high activity, the expression vector including above mutant gene and the use of them to DNA vaccine adjuvant. Particularly, it relates to IL-12p40 mutant gene which inhibits the secretion of IL-12p40 but normally secretes active IL- 12p70 by making mutation at Asn-222 (human) or Asn- 220 (mouse) amino acid of IL-12p40, which acts as a competitive inhibitor of active form of IL-12, IL-12p70. Therefore, the IL-12p40 mutant gene of the present invention can be useful for DNA vaccination and gene therapy against various diseases, for example, AIDS, hepatitis C or hepatitis B, cancer, influenza, tuberculosis and malaria, which essentially require cellular immune responses for their therapy.

Title: Spool assembly for pintle
Inventor: CORRIVEAU ANDRE
IPC: B65H75/44
Filed: 1999-05-26
Abstract: The spool assembly for storing and handling a wire or cable, especially a pintle, has a spool that is annular in shape and devised to define a radially outwardly opened rim of U-shaped cross-section in which the wire can be wound. At least one of the side walls of this rim has an outer edge with teeth formed in it. The spool is freely mounted and retained in a spool-receiving member having a surrounding wall with an outlet through which the wire may exit. A brake is provided to prevent the spool from rotating when such is not required. The brake comprises a tiltable arm extending tangentially close to the spool. One or more teeth project from the arm towards the periphery of the spool so as to engage the teeth of the spool and thus prevent the spool from being rotated unless the arm is lifted up. One or more stoppers may also be provided to lock the wire. The assembly is preferably made of plastic material. It is very simple in structure and very handy to use.
