摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of non-invasively monitoring the expression of a gene of interest in a cell when contacting said cell with a compound influencing the expression of said gene of interest. The present invention is also concerned with different isolated nucleic acid molecules comprising a coding sequence. Said coding sequence comprises a gene of interest-sequence encoding a gene of interest-polypeptide fused to a reporter sequence encoding a fluorescent reporter polypeptide and is operatively coupled to a promoter sequence. The present invention is also concerned with the use of a method and a nucleic acid molecule of the invention for delivering a compound influencing the expression of a gene of interest in a cell, monitoring the delivery of said compound as well as monitoring the influence on the expression of said gene of interest induced by said compound at the same time.

The present invention relates to methods, arrays and computer programs for assisting in classifying breast cancer diseases. In particular the invention relates to classifying breast cancer disorders by determining the methylation status of one or more sequences according to SEQ ID NO: 1-111. The classification may be further strengthened by also taking the expression levels of one or more proteins into account.

摘要:
Method and device for providing a summary of a plurality of images, e.g. a video sequence. The method includes dividing the video sequence into a plurality of segments. The segments are analyzed with respect to content and a set of content descriptors are associated to the segments. Preferably, additional textual information about the segments, screenplay etc., is used to determine the content descriptors. A graph representing relations between the segments is constructed indicating relations between segments. Weights are associated to the relations so as to represent a measure of relation, e.g. a logical correlation, between segments. The weights are based on the calculated content descriptors. A relevance measure for a segment is determined based on all weights associated with relations to said segment. Finally, a summary is generated by selecting the most relevant segments. The method can create an automatic summary of a film that preserves all the logical plot of the original but is shorter in duration (e.g. 70% of the original film) while the original playback rate is preserved.

A method for providing complementary information 226 for a video program is provided that includes receiving complementary information 226 for a video program. A query is received from a consumer. The query is related to a specified portion of the complementary information 226. A query response is provided to the consumer based on the specified portion of the complementary information 226.
摘要:
A system facilitates and enhances review of one or more multimedia input streams that includes some combination of video, audio and text information, generating a multimedia summary, thereby enabling a user to better browse and/or decide on viewing the multimedia input streams in their entirety. The multimedia summary is constructed automatically, based in part on system specifications, user specifications and network and device constraints. In a particular application of the invention, the input multimedia streams represent news broadcasts (e.g., television news program, video vault footage). In such a particular application, the invention can enable the user to automatically receive a summary of the news stream in accordance with previously provided user preferences and in accordance with prevailing network and user device constraints.
摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to new methods and systems performing flexible and reversible modification of DNA in order to establish the logical value of true or false for a set of clauses. It combines both the biological meaning and experimental procedure with the logical implementation of the basic Boolean operators: OR, AND, and NOT. A feature of methylation logic is the use of the reversibility of DNA methylation of cytosine and adenine. Logic variables can be negated by reversing the DNA methylation status. Four implementation scenarios are described: three of them use methyl-sensitive restriction enzymes and the fourth uses methyl-binding proteins. Encoding can use either single or double stranded DNA. In addition, the disclosure allows for solving a multi-variable SAT problems by implementing a logic circuit.
摘要:
A method and system characterizes (220) individual news stories and identifies (230) a common news story among a variety of stories based on this characterization. A composite story is created (240-280) for the common news story, preferably using a structure that is based on a common structure of the different versions of the story. The selection of video segments (110) from the different versions of the story for inclusion in the composite story is based on determined rankings (260, 270) of the video and audio content of the video segments (110).
摘要:
A system and method for delivering relevant information to recipients in a timely manner. Information from a plurality of sources is received through interface devices that permit a central processor to evaluate each information stream in light of the dynamic profiles that are stored in a subscriber database. A plurality of location sensors track and report the location of the various recipients. The processor determines the content that will be provided to the recipient and the delivery mode to be used for delivering the selected information to the subscriber.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for conducting exclusive and inclusive metadata searches to identify and select multimedia programs. The apparatus of the invention including a metadata search controller that compares user specified search words with metadata words to find programs that meet user specified search criteria. The metadata search controller executes an inclusive metadata search to search for matches between a user specified search word and a metadata word that is related to the user specified search word in a word pair contained within a word pair database. The metadata search controller calculates a rank value for each program that is found by a metadata search and creates a ranked list of such programs.
摘要:
In a television receiver having Picture-In-Picture (PIP), a controller analyzes the content of a video signal forming a main picture, and automatically adjusts the size and position of a PIP image to correspond to regions of the main picture exhibiting the least amount of motion, texture, and/or a repeating texture. The controller also prevents the PIP image from being positioned over text or faces or other important objects in the main picture.
