  • Publication number: 20070291227
    Abstract: Motion blur associated with hold-type display devices may be reduced by eye tracking compensation. Eye tracking compensation may depend on the magnitude and direction of a motion vector, which may be used to generate a human-vision image compensation signal. An original input image signal and the human-vision image compensation signal may be used to generate and output a compensated image signal. As a result, motion blur arising from eye tracking characteristics is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7270559
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulating body, and a shell body. The insulating body includes a body, pivoting concave ditches located at two sides of end of the body and formed along horizontal directions, and circular rotating angles located at the top rim of the two sides of the end of the body. The body receives a plurality of conducting pins. The shell body includes a top wall, side walls, pivoting convex columns, and a blocking element. The pivoting convex column is located in the pivoting concave ditch. By moving the pivoting convex column in the pivoting concave ditch, the shell body moves. By contacting the blocking element with the arc of the circular rotating angle, when the shell body rotates to a specified angle with the insulting body, the shell body moves along the side wall of the shell body.

  • Publication number: 20070148095
    Abstract: Magnetic nanoparticles with fluorescent properties and specific targeting functions. The fluorescent magnetic nanoparticle includes a magnetic nanoparticle, a biocompatible polymer chemically modifying the magnetic nanoparticle, a fluorescent dye coupled to the biocompatible polymer, and a specific targeting agent coupled to the biocompatible polymer. The fluorescent and magnetic properties of the nanoparticles provide different types of signal sources and therefore, prompt imaging using different types of imaging techniques to reconfirm foci is feasible.

  • Patent number: 7183425
    Abstract: This invention describes a reductive amination process whereby perfluorinated ketones or ketals are combined with ?-aminoesters under basic conditions to form metal carboxylates. Diastereoselective reductions of the metal carboxylates enable access to two diastereomers, depending on the reducing conditions.

  • Patent number: 6915668
    Abstract: The invention provides a wearable electrode apparatus and manufacture thereof. The wearable electrode apparatus includes a garment and 2M terminals. The garment includes 2M electrically conductive portions. Each of the terminals is disposed on one of the 2M electrically conductive portions, respectively, for purpose of connection with an external apparatus. In particular, a semi-garment is first formed and cut out from a fabric according to a pattern of the garment. The electrically conductive portions are formed together with or after the formation of the semi-garment. Then, the semi-garment with the electrically conductive portions is formed into the garment.

  • Patent number: 6015926
    Abstract: An efficient method for the preparation of key intermediate, in the synthesis of (-)-6-chloro-4-cyclopropylethynyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-ben zoxazin-2-one, a reverse transcriptase inhibitor is achieved using a chiral addition reaction to the 4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylketoaniline with an organozinc complex to give the desired alcohol. This instant method has broad applicability in the chiral addition to any prochiral ketone.

  • Patent number: 5877329
    Abstract: Indoles of structural formula (III): ##STR1## are synthesized by the palladium-catalyzed coupling/ring closure of a 2-halo or 2-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy aniline and an alkyl ketone derivative. The process is particularly useful to form indoles containing acid-labile substituents such as triazole, acetyl, ketal, cyano, and carbamate, or indoles having a facile leaving group in the benzyl position. The advantages of the present process are that it does not require the use of triphenyl phosphine or tetrabutyl ammonium chloride or lithium chloride.

  • Patent number: 5811551
    Abstract: We have found that indoles of structural formula (III): ##STR1## can be cost-effectively synthesized in high yield by the palladium-catalyzed coupling/ring closure of a 2-halo- or 2-trifluoromethylsulfonyl-aniline and a cyclic ketone derivative. The process of the present invention is particularly useful to form indoles containing acid-labile substituents such as triazole, acetyl, ketal, cyano, and carbamate, or indoles having a good leaving group in the benzyl position. The advantages of the present process are that it does not require the use of triphenyl phosphine or tetrabutyl ammonium chloride or lithium chloride.

  • Patent number: 5808064
    Abstract: We have found that 2-unsubstituted indoles of structural formula (IV) can be cost-effectively synthesized in high yield by the palladium-catalyzed coupling/ring closure of a 2-halo or 2-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy aniline (I) and an acyl silane derivative (II), followed by deprotection of the silyl protecting groups. ##STR1## The process of the present invention is particularly useful to form indoles containing acid-labile substituents such as triazole, acetyl, ketal, cyano, and carbamate, or indoles having a good leaving group in the benzyl position. The advantages of the present process are that it does not require the use of triphenyl phosphine or tetrabutyl ammonium chloride or lithium chloride. When applied to 5-triazolyl substituted indoles, the present process also eliminates the tendency of triazolyl polymerization in the Fischer indole synthesis.
