| 20090123910 | Method of efficient extraction of protein from cells - Methods for producing a protein extract from cells, such as cells or cellular samples containing viral proteins, are provided. In general terms, the methods may involve: increasing the pH of the cells to a pH of at least about pH 10.0 to produce an intermediate composition, and then, in the presence of a non-ionic detergent such as a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, neutralizing the pH of the intermediate composition to produce the protein extract. Such methods can be used in conjunction with methods for detecting one or more target proteins in a sample, such as viral proteins. Systems, kits and compositions for practicing the subject methods are also provided. | 05-14-2009 |

| 20100014578 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HIGHLY EFFICIENT VIDEO COMPRESSION USING SELECTIVE RETENTION OF RELEVANT VISUAL DETAIL - Systems and methods are presented for compressing digital video signals in a manner that prevents the creation of block artifacts and improves compression efficiency by the selective removal of data representing visually imperceptible or irrelevant detail. Bandwidth control is improved through prioritized removal of data exceeding permissible bandwidth limits. This provides a process by which a coupled compressor and de-compressor system can effect the transmission or storage of video at low bitrates with high perceptual quality of the decompressed video. In one embodiment, the low frequency components are removed from a video stream and either stored or transmitted in compressed format separate from the storage or transmission of the high frequency components of the video stream. Certain high frequency video stream details can be suppressed to further reduce bitrate. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100014596 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF COMPRESSED VIDEO SIGNALS BY SMOOTHING BLOCK ARTIFACTS - The present invention is directed to systems and methods in which, for a given amount of data required to represent a compressed video signal, the quality of the uncompressed displayed real-time video, as perceived by a typical human viewer, is improved. Systems and methods herein achieve this improvement by attenuating the appearance of blocks without necessarily having a priori knowledge of their locations. The methods described herein attenuate the appearance of these blocks such that the quality of the resultant real-time video, as perceived by the HVS, is improved. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100014777 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF COMPRESSED VIDEO SIGNALS BY SMOOTHING THE ENTIRE FRAME AND OVERLAYING PRESERVED DETAIL - Systems and methods are disclosed for improving the quality of compressed digital video signals by separating the video signals into Deblock and Detail regions and, by smoothing the entire frame, and then by over-writing each smoothed frame by a preserved Detail region of the frame. The Detail region may be computed only in Key Frames after which it may be employed in adjacent frames in order to improve computational efficiency. This improvement is enhanced by computing an Expanded Detailed Region in Key Frames. The concept of employing a smooth Canvas Image onto which the Detail image is overwritten is analogous to an artist first painting the entire picture with an undetailed Canvas (usually using a broad large brush) and then over-painting that Canvas with the required detail (usually using a small fine brush). | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100150470 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DEBLOCKING SEQUENTIAL IMAGES BY DETERMINING PIXEL INTENSITIES BASED ON LOCAL STATISTICAL MEASURES - Systems and methods are presented for improving the quality of an image as perceived by the Human Vision System by smoothing block artifacts in an image. In one embodiment, smoothing is accomplished by identifying target pixels to be smoothed and then replacing the pixel values of the target pixels with values derived from statistically similar neighboring pixels. The statistically similar neighboring pixels are chosen based on specific measurement criteria from within a region identified to contain such neighbors. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20090251271 | Structure For A Wiring Assembly And Method Suitable For Forming Multiple Coil Rows With Splice Free Conductor - A conductor assembly and method for constructing an assembly of the type which, when conducting current, generates a magnetic field or which, in the presence of a changing magnetic field, induces a voltage. In one embodiment the method includes forming a structure comprising layers of material extending along a first aperture path. The structure includes multiple concentric layer surfaces. A channel is formed in each of the layers of the material and along each of the multiple surfaces. Conductive material is positioned in each channel to provide a spiral configuration. The surfaces of multiple ones of the layers are of tubular shape. The layers of material are sequentially positioned one over another and about an axis along which first and second opposing coil end regions are formed. The layers are formed with a region of a first thickness and a shoulder region. The shoulder region is alternately formed in the sequence at one coil end region or at the other coil end region. Each shoulder region has a greater thickness than the first thickness. | 10-08-2009 |
