Shape matching method for indexing and retrieving multimedia data
Issued patent
The invention relates to a method for indexing and retrieving multimedia data. In particular the invention provides a method of comparing at least two sets of multimedia data using shape information in order to provides a dissimilarity measure between the sets. The invention finds use in retrieving images or parts of sequences based on their content in image and video sequence databases.

Title: Small molecule inhibitors of polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and uses thereof
Usefulness: Small molecule inhibitors of polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and uses thereof
Summary: For increasing the sensitivity of a cancerous cell of a patient to a chemotherapeutic agent or radiation therapy for treating a cancer of the bladder, brain, breast, cervix, larynx, lung, prostate, vagina, thyroid, pancreas, ovary, breast, uterus, gallbladder, perianal and pelvic regions; colorectal cancer; gynecological cancer; cancer of the small intestine; small cell lung cancer; head and neck cancer; bronchial cancer; oral cancer; rectal cancer; tracheal cancer; or adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma; metastatic carcinoma of the colon or rectum; small cell lung cancer sensitive disease stage IV-B recurrent; persistent carcinoma of the cervix; relapsed small cell lung cancer; gastric cancer, or esophageal cancer in a human, non-human mammal, a rodent, a companion animal or livestock; or for treating a disorder associated with a defect in DNA polymeraseβ , where the disorder is a cancer (all claimed).
Novelty: Use of pyrrolopyridine compounds, e.g. 2-(1-hydroxyundecyl)-1-(4-nitrophenylamino)-6-phenyl-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo(3,4-b)pyridine-5,7(2H,4aH)-dione, for increasing sensitivity of a cancerous cell to a chemotherapeutic agent or radiation therapy
