The present invention concerns a device and a method for pattern analysis of large volumes of data in order to make it possible to distinguish tendencies to co-variations and developments in time from one large database, preferably one composed by a number of smaller databases. The data in the database is divided into on the one hand objects and on the other variables. The method is characterized by first grouping the volume of data, whereby the variables are grouped to dimensions and objects to...

A proteome analyzer includes a separation cassette having a first dimension separation compartment for separation of protein samples by isoelectric focusing and a second dimension separation compartment for separation of protein samples by SDS-polymer network electrophoresis. The first dimension compartment is a reservoir in which a porous material having capillary channels is disposed. The protein samples are disposed in the capillary channels and, in the presence of a pH gradient, are focused ...

An adaptive high-fidelity perceptual subband encoder for spatially directional multichannel audio signals, using a mixture of individual-channel subband coding with subband-steered composite-channel signal coding that combines the spectral components of the individual channel subbands selected for steering. The composite channel representation includes a subband steering control signal which either conveys the levels of the spectral components from all the steered channels, or represents the app...

A method for displaying multidimensional data on a screen of a display device, includes assigning a first dimension element, having been selected by a user from among the multidimensional data, to an axis; giving weights to a plurality of member regions using a function of number of data belonging to respective members of the first dimension element; defining the weighted member regions as a plurality of regions on the axis, which are partitioned for the respective members of the first dimension...

The multidimensional cellular mobile telecommunication system extends the usage of existing cellular mobile telecommunication radio frequencies allocated for ground-based communications to non-terrestrial mobile subscriber stations by adding an overlay of non-terrestrial cells of predetermined geometry and locus in space to the existing ground-based cellular cell site network. The polarization of the signals produced by the non-terrestrial antenna elements is a polarization that is different tha...

A multidimensional systolic array processor uses a multidimensional array of systolically coupled processing elements to perform matrix-vector multiplication of matrix and vector signal sets. A two-dimensional array uses a P.times.Q matrix (P rows and Q columns) of processing elements which are coupled to systolically process the signals, e.g. via multiplication and accumulation. The processing elements are coupled both row-to-row and column-to-column for pipeline processing within each row and ...

An adaptive multidimensional media asset rating system and method for selective play of a media asset includes an N-dimensional rating vector encoded into the leader portion or meta-data portion of a media asset. This N dimensional rating vector has a magnitude value for each of the N dimensions and is assigned to each asset by the asset producer. A user programmable asset filter system, responsive to the encoded vector, is incorporated into or added on to the media asset playing device. The rat...

A system and method for computer modeling (10) and for creating hyperstructures (51) which are to be contained in a computer memory, which obtains measurements of physical objects and activities which are related to the entity to be modeled in the computer hyperstructure (51). The measurements are transformed into computer data which corresponds to the physical objects and activities external to the computer system (10). A plurality of independent dimensions (54) are created, where each dimensio...

Multi-dimensional lithographs which impart the illusions of depth and/or motion to a viewer are prepared by constructing and sequencing a plurality of electronic pages, preferably four or more; rasterizing, compressing and converting each page; interlacing the pages in a desired sequence; outputting the interlaced frames to an imaging device; and producing a lithographic separation from the imaging device. In the rasterization of each frame, nonbinary pixels are created that correspond to the re...

The solvent-resistance and thermal stability of polyamideimides of the general formulae: ##STR1## is improved by capping the amideimides with a crosslinking functionality (Y) containing a residue selected from the group of: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 =lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, aryl, aryloxy, substituted alkyl, substituted aryl (either including hydroxyl or halo-substituents), halogen, or mixtures thereof; j=0, 1, or 2: G=--CH.sub.2 --, --O--, --S--, --SO.sub.2 --, --SO--, --CO--, --CHR--, or --CR...
