A number of publications by various groups have recently described halftone screen preprocessing techniques for achieving nonlinear nonmonotonic amplitude or irradiance transformations in coherent optical systems.... The two basic steps to the procedure include(1) an optical pulsewidth modulation to convert the continuous level input to an ideally binary halftoned input and(2) selection of various diffraction orders in the Fourier plane of a coherent optical processor to produce the continuous desampled output. 3, record 1, English, - desample

The gyros are used to maintain the platform’s inertial orientation by sensing rotations of the platform caused by vehicle-rotation-induced friction at the gimbal pivot points ... One gyro - called the vertical gyro - is oriented so its input axes are aligned with the X and Y platform axes; its input axes provide IMU [Inertial Measurement Unit] platform roll and pitch stabilization. The second gyro is oriented so that one input axis lies along the platform’s Z axis and the other lies in the X-Y plane. This gyro - the azimuth gyro - provides platform yaw stabilization with the Z input axis, while the second input axis is used as a platform rate detector for built-in test equipment. 3, record 2, English, - azimuth%20gyroscope

The sensors for angular velocity are vibrating gyroscopes(3 axes, to detect rotation and pitch/roll pendulations of the payload). An error signal is obtained differencing the signal from the azimuth gyroscope and a constant level settable from the telemetry, which controls the speed of rotation. Such error signal drives an analog PID [Proportional Integral Differential] circuit; the output of the PID is connected to the PWM [Pulse Width Modulation] driver supplying current to the pivot azimuth motors. 3, record 2, English, - azimuth%20gyroscope

High-power modulation. In an AM transmitter amplitude modulation of the carrier by introducing the modulating signal into the anode circuit of the final amplifying stage. The power of the modulating signal thus approximates to that at the transmitter output. 5, record 5, English, - high%2Dpower%20modulation
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Modulation is also identified as to level. High level modulation occurs when the modulating voltage is applied to the collector/plate circuit of the final power amplifier. With high level modulation, the final stage is operated class C and the preceding stages are also operated class C. The overall efficiency of such a transmitter is very high. A disadvantage of high level modulation is that comparatively high audio power is needed and several stages of voltage and power amplification may be required in the speech amplifier and modulator circuits. 4, record 5, English, - high%2Dpower%20modulation

Differential Display is a powerful technique for identifying and isolating genes that display modulation under a given stimulus or environmental perturbation. The DDRT-PCR Kit from Display Systems Biotech provides a comprehensive protocol and complete set of reagents to perform this process in your own lab. Despite the widespread acceptance of the DDRT-PCR Kit as a gene discovery tool, the protocols remain labor-intensive and can take several weeks to obtain the desired results. Because Display Systems Biotech performs DDRT-PCR on a routine basis you can save time and avoid pitfalls inherent in the complex procedure(that often lead to a high level of false positives) by allowing us to perform the procedure for you; we guarantee results. 3, record 8, English, - differential%20display%20reverse%20transcriptase%2DPCR

Nous cherchons à identifier et à caractériser des gènes de suppression tumorale impliqués dans la progression du cancer de la prostate. Nous avons utilisé la fusion de microcellules pour transférer une portion du chromosome 12 (nommé del(12)(q13) dans une lignée cellulaire cancéreuse humaine (DU145). Les hybrides cellulaires obtenus ne sont plus tumorigéniques lorsqu'injectés chez la souris nue. Ceci suggère la présence de gènes de suppression tumorale sur ce chromosome. Les protéines traduites de ces gènes auraient donc un effet inhibiteur sur l'établissement de tumeurs prostatiques. Nous avons utilisé une méthode de criblage différentiel (DDRT-PCR) pour identifier les ADN complémentaires exprimés préférentiellement dans les hybrides non tumorigéniques qui contiennent del(12)(q13). Ces ADN complémentaires furent isolés, réamplifiés, clonés et séquencés. Des analyses de types Northern démontrent une hausse d'expression de certains ARNm dans les hybrides non tumorigéniques. Nous concluons que certains de ces gènes peuvent jouer un rôle important dans la progression des adénocarcinomes prostatiques. 1, record 8, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20de%20criblage%20diff%C3%A9rentiel%20par%20PCR
