Bispecific molecules which react both with the high-affinity Fc.gamma. receptor of human effector cells and with a target cell surface antigen are disclosed. Binding of the molecules to the Fc receptors found on effector cells is not blocked by human immunoglobulin G. The molecules are useful for targeting human effector cells (e.g. macrophages) against cells bearing the target antigen. For this p...

Film originating NTSC video signals are converted to the PAL standard by a process which detects and eliminates duplicate fields. Video frames corresponding one-for-one with the original film frames are line interpolated to provide a PAL signal with minimal artefacts. Edits are detected and steps taken to avoid interpolations across a cut.
