Patent EP-1547152-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TAKAYANAGI ISAO
IPC: G01T1/24
Filed: 2003-08-22
Abstract: In an image sensor which utilizes a charge multiplying photoconversion element, a first inventive feature protects a pixel circuit from breakdown due to excessive voltage from the photoconversion element by connecting a protection circuit between the photoconversion element and a storage element in the pixel circuit where charge generated by the photoconversion element is accumulated. The responsiveness of the photoconversion element is inversely proportional to the intensity of light detected in the image sensor, which causes the signal voltage outputted by the photoconversion element to decrease as detected light intensity increases. A second inventive feature accounts for this inverse relationship by incorporating into the pixel circuit an output control circuit which fixes the voltage level at the output of the photoconversion element, to maintain a constant potential across the photoconversion element. Optionally, the pixel circuit can include both this type of output control circuit and the protection circuit.

Inventor: FISHER PAUL B
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 2003-07-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to the discoveries that apoptotic effects of the melanoma differentiation associated gene mda-7 (also known as interleukin-24, 'IL-24') on malignant cells occur via the p38 MAPK pathway and members of the Growth Arrest and DNA Damage ('GADD') gene family but are substantially independent of the JAK/STAT pathway. Accordingly, the invention provides for methods for identifying apoptosis-modulating agents using assay methods which determine the ability of a test agent to increase or decrease expression of constituents of the mda-7 apoptosis pathway, preferably in a JAK/STAT substantially independent manner. Such agents may be small molecules or may be fragments, variants and/or derivatives of native MDA-7.

Abstract: K data signals, or bursts, are transmitted over a shared spectrum in a code division multiple access communication format. A combined signal is received and sampled over the shared spectrum, as a plurality of received vector versions. The combined signal includes the K transmitted data signals. A plurality of system matrices and an associated covariance matrix using codes and estimated impulse responses of the K data signals is produced. Each system matrix corresponds to a received vector version. The system and covariance matrices are extended and approximated as block circulant matrices. A diagonal matrix of each of the extended and approximated system and covariance matrices are determined by prime factor algorithm - fast Fourier transform (PFA-FFT) without division of the matrix. The received vector versions are extended. A product of the diagonal matrices and the extended received vector versions is taken. An inverse block discrete Fourier transform is performed by a PFA-FFT on a result of the product to produce the estimated data of the K data signals.

Abstract: A pair of supply units (10,20) supply raw material of hydrocarbon and gas into a processing chamber (1). The gas and the liquid fractions in the chamber are separated by separation units (280,310,350). An extraction pipe (70) removes gas fraction to outside of the chamber. The portion of the liquid fraction is separated into a reaction chamber (2) as liquid raw material, for reaction with hydrogen. The recycling units (30, 190) recycle a portion of the liquid fraction in the processing chamber. The level of expansion of the contact zones (700,701) are controlled to extract gas and liquid fractions from the processing chamber. The distance of gas fraction from an exit orifice is larger than 0.5 times the internal diameter of the processing chamber.
