摘要:
A vaso-occlusive device is provided for reducing blood flow in a patient. The device can include a coil, a stretch resistant member, and a plurality of fibers. The coil can define a lumen and be sized for insertion to a point of use in a vascular network of the patient. The stretch resistant member can have a first end fixedly attached to the first end of the coil. Further, the plurality of fibers can be configured with each of the fibers in direct contact with the stretch resistant member.

The present invention provides methods, systems and apparatus to control instruction sequencing for a vector processor in a parallel processing environment. It enhances standard Vector Processing architectures by using two independent processing units working in conjunction to produce a highly efficient data processing ensemble. In an example embodiment, the two processors include a Scalar Processor and a separate Vector Processor. The Scalar Processor has its own Instruction Store, General Purpose Registers and Arithmetic Logic Unit. It can execute a standard instruction set including branch and jump instructions. It's function is to control the processing sequence of the Vector Processor. The Vector Processor has an independent Instruction Store, a dedicated Register along with dedicate functional elements to perform vector operations. The Vector Processor does not execute any sequencing instructions such as branch or jump but executes a serial instruction sequence starting and ending at locations determined by the Scalar Processor.

A method for characterising nucleic acid molecules comprises the steps of i) introducing a modified base which is a substrate for a DNA endonuclease, for example Endonuclease V from E. coli, into a target DNA molecule; and ii) reacting the nucleic acid containing the modified base with said DNA endonuclease such that the nucleic acid is cleaved to generate an upstream fragment condition said modified base and bearing a 3′ hydroxyl group. The upstream fragment generated in step ii) can be used as a primer for a subsequent extension reaction. The modified base as such targets cleavage of the nucleic acid strand because it directs the endonuclease to cut the nucleic acid strand on which it resides at a site predominantly one nucleotide removed therefrom, so that the modified base remains in the nucleci acid as th upstream fragment. The method can be used for detecting polymorphisms and mutations and for nucleic acid indentification and profiling. The method enables one to detect polymorphisms in any sequence context and such detection is not dependent on surrounding nucleotide sequence.

The present invention also relates to a method for treating a variety of diseases using a Fc receptor modulating compound.
摘要:
A method and apparatus, particularly suited to SIMD instruction sets, to filter streaming video information encoded under a predictive encoding algorithm specified under video encoding standards, such as MPEG 4 or H.264/AVC. The filtering operation de-blocks or removes unwanted borders in the perceived video. During the filtering process, a series of filtering mask is generated based on temporal and spatial statistics of predictive encoded video information, which is then recursively applied to the video in order to gate filtered or unfiltered video to an output channel according to coefficients of the masks. The filtering mask effectively yields a decision or rule-based map that transforms the video on a pixel-by-pixel basis thereby avoiding complex and processor-intensive decision tree logic customarily required to process individual pixels of successive macroblocks that may have different filtering requirements.

A labeling apparatus has a source of printed labels that have adhesive backing, a vacuum pickup with two opposable arms, a blower bar to support a label on air. Each opposable arm has its own vacuum head and each head is removably attachable to a respective end portion of the label. The apparatus also has a label position sensor, and the vacuum pickup is movable from a pickup position to a wrap position. Each pickup arm has a plurality of spring loaded pins. A two layer label has a backing strip, an inner layer, and an outer layer, and at least one removable portion of the outer layer. The label has a neck portion and two end portions, such that the label set may be wrapped a container with the two end portions adhered back to back to each other. The neck portion is relatively narrower than either of the two end portions and is relatively offset so that it is closer to a front edge of the label.
摘要:
A method of producing a highly stable packaging substrate in which are provided a first precursor having a first backbone and a first ethynyl group, and a second precursor having a second backbone and a second ethynyl group. Furthermore provided is a crosslinker having a first and a second reactive group. The first precursor, the second precursor, the crosslinker, and a solvent are applied onto a surface to form an electrically insulating layer. The first ethynyl group is reacted with the first reactive group in a first carbon-carbon bond formation reaction and the second ethynyl group is reacted with the second reactive group in a second carbon-carbon bond formation reaction to crosslink the first backbone with the second backbone, thereby forming the packaging substrate. The solvent is removed in a further step.
