20100141835VIDEO SIGNAL ANALYSIS - In order to detect interlace errors in a video signal, one receives successive digitally coded frames, each frame comprising data for a field of a first type and data for a field of a second type (i.e. a top field and bottom field or vice versa). One then generates for each field of the first type:—a first difference signal (D1 F1) representative of the difference between the field and the second-type field of the previous frame;—a second difference signal (D1 F2) representative of the difference between the field and the second-type field of the same frame; and—a third difference signal (D1 F3) representative of the difference between the field and the second-type field of the following frame. Then, in dependence of the values of said difference signals, a decision signal (wOFlag) is generated indicating an estimated temporal relationship of the field to the second-type field of the same frame. This can be compared with a signal (IDFO) indicating a purported temporal relationship, and an alarm signal (wEFlag) generated in the event of a mismatch.06-10-2010

20110262419SPECIFICALLY TARGETED CATALYTIC ANTAGONISTS AND USES THEREOF - This invention provides chimeric molecules that are catalytic antagonists of a target molecule. The catalytic antagonists of this invention preferably comprise a targeting moiety attached to an enzyme that degrades the molecule specifically bound by the targeting moiety.

This typically results in a reduction or loss of activity of the target and release of the chimeric molecule. The chimeric molecule is then free to attack and degrade another target molecule.10-27-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090116780Bearing Systems - Bearing arrangements are described which enable rotation about a vertical axis with a very extended diameter bearing, for example 20 meters diameter. A usually stationary base supports a rotating member, e.g. on a fluid cushion. Separately, a ring of radially adjustable arcuate surface support pads on an outer member acts against a cylindrical surface of an inner member. The adjustability of the radially movable support pads enables them to increase their thrust at parts of the circumferences of the bearing relative to others. This enables considerably smoother running to be achieved, both to compensate for the difficulties of producing complete circularity with a bearing diameter of substantial size, and for varying direction lateral loadings, e.g. as experienced by a vertical axis wind-driven turbine.05-07-2009
