  • Method of producing a polypeptide in an ungulate
    Patent number: 6395958
    Abstract: The present invention relates to cloning technologies. The invention relates in part to immortalized and totipotent cells useful for cloning animals, the embryos produced from these cells using nuclear transfer techniques, animals that arise from these cells and embryos, and materials, methods, and processes for establishing such cells, embryos, and animals.

  • Converter to convert a computer graphics signal to an interlaced video signal
    Patent number: 5455628
    Abstract: A converter receives a computer graphics signal from a PC and provides from it a video signal for display or recording. Analogue RGB signals are digitised and applied to a vertical filter and rate buffer. The rate buffer needs only one to three lines of storage capacity. The received graphics signal is a VGA 640.times.480 non-interlaced mode signal, and the rate buffer halves the line rate and produces an interlaced output. Such a signal can be treated as a video signal, after reconversion to analogue form. The vertical filter provides a degree of vertical averaging to remove flicker. In a preferred store using three line-store FIFOs, input lines are applied to them in the sequence A,B,C,B,A, and so on.
