Patent number: 6069666Abstract: A system and method for distribution of a clock signal of a new timing reference which may employ an existing NTSC distribution network present in a conventional NTSC studio. NTSC-compliant horizontal, vertical, or other composite synchronization signals are generated from an HDTV primary reference clock, and are synchronized and locked to the HDTV primary reference, for distribution over the existing NTSC distribution network. HDTV studio components receive the horizontal, vertical, or other composite synchronization signals and generate a local HDTV clock signal using a phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer. The signal generated by the phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer is synchronized and locked to the HDTV primary reference.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1998Date of Patent: May 30, 2000Assignee: Sarnoff CorporationInventor: Paul Wallace Lyons

Patent number: 5952484Abstract: The invention provides for the production of several humanized murine antibodies specific for the antigen LK26, which is recognized by the murine antibody LK26. This antigen is expressed on all choriocarcinoma, teratocarcinoma and renal cancer cell lines whereas it is not expressed on cell lines of leukaemias, lymphomas, neuroectodermally-derived and epithelial tumour cell lines (excepting a small subset of epithelial cell lines). Furthermore, whereas renal cancer cell lines express the LK26 antigen, normal renal epithelial cells do not. Similarly, with the exception of the trophoblast, all normal adult and fetal tissues tested are negative for the LK26 phenotype. The invention also provides for numerous polynucleotide encoding humanized LK26 specific antibodies, expression vectors for producing humanized LK26 specific antibodies, and host cells for the recombinant production of the humanized antibodies.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1996Date of Patent: September 14, 1999Assignee: Sloan-Kettering Cancer CenterInventors: Thomas Paul Wallace, William Joseph Harris, Francis Joseph Carr, Wolfgang J.

Patent number: 5903324Abstract: A transmitted high definition television signal is represented by a packetized datastream configured as a sequence of data fields with a non-uniform data rate due to different types of different duration non-data overhead information. Each data field is prefaced by a Field Sync overhead segment followed by 312 packetized data segments each with associated overhead information. At a transmitter, a transport processor forms data packets with associated headers and exhibits uninterrupted operation at a constant uniform data rate, while supplying a packetized datastream to a network which constructs sequential data fields by inserting the non-data overhead information into the datastream. The transport processor is advantageously operated at a constant uniform data rate without having to modify the original data field structure to accommodate the needs of the data field construction network.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1996Date of Patent: May 11, 1999Assignee: Thomson Multimedia S.A.Inventors: Paul Wallace Lyons, Alfonse Anthony Acampora

Patent number: 5864557Abstract: A transport stream encoder comprises a plurality of component signal sources. One of the component signals sources is a source of an opportunistic data component signal carrying a block of data having a predetermined size to be transferred within a predetermined period of time. A packet generator is coupled to the plurality of component signal sources, and produces a composite packet stream, partitioned into successive groups containing a plurality of packet slots. A memory stores a plurality of priority lists respectively associated with the plurality of packet slots. Each priority list contains a plurality of entries, and each entry contains data representing a respective one of the plurality of component signal sources. A scheduler is responsive to the entries in the plurality of priority lists and conditions the packet generator to generate a packet for each one of the packet slots.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1996Date of Patent: January 26, 1999Assignee: Thomson multimedia S.A.Inventor: Paul Wallace Lyons

Patent number: 5847779Abstract: A system of the present invention addresses the difficulty of aligning a reference sync byte at the beginning of a data packet during situations where the system experiences severe problems such as arbitrary resets/restarts or transmission disturbances. Specifically, the sync byte at the beginning of the data packet is automatically aligned with the beginning of a data acquisition interval when data is requested, even when there are arbitrary system resets/restarts. The alignment of the first data packet following a system reset is facilitated by the use of a Start Of Packet flag concurrent with the reference byte, together with a controlled logic network.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1996Date of Patent: December 8, 1998Assignee: RCA Thomson Licensing CorporationInventors: Alfonse Anthony Acampora, Richard Michael Bunting, Paul Wallace Lyons

Patent number: 5831690Abstract: A transmission processor (16) receives an input packetized datastream (FIGS. 6-9; FIGS. 15-18 signal A) containing packets of data bytes including MPEG coded video information. The transmission processor outputs a symbol datastream (FIGS. 15-18 signal F) representing a sequence of data fields (FIG. 1) comprising groups of data segments (X) with an associated field sync segment. The transmission processor inserts overhead information. e.g., FEC error coding information, into each data segment, and inserts the longer duration field sync overhead segment between groups of data field segments. The frequency of the transmission processor input byte clock (SC/2, FIG. 6; FIG. 15) an integer sub-multiple of an output symbol clock (SC) frequency. The input datastream exhibits constant uniform inter-packet data gaps and a constant uniform data rate, thereby facilitating the seamless insertion of the field sync overhead segment into the datastream without interrupting the datastream.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1996Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: RCA Thomson Licensing CorporationInventors: Paul Wallace Lyons, Alfonse Anthony Acampora
