IPC: G09B7/00
Filed: 2004-06-21
Abstract: A system and method for computer-based testing includes a test driver that controls delivery of a computer-based test to one or more test candidates and that controls caching of test components during delivery of the test. The system includes various monitoring components, including monitoring of candidate progress, candidate performance, network bandwidth, network latency and server response, during delivery of the test and adjusting the source of the test components or the volume of the test components being cached for delivery of the test. Based upon this monitoring of the system, for example, if network communication failure is detected, the test candidate is able to continue computer-based testing while connectivity is being reestablished.

Title: Ganglioside based vaccine compositions for subcutaneous administration
Inventor: FERNANDEZ MOLINA LUIS ENRIQUE
IPC: A61K/
Filed: 2004-02-27
Abstract: The invention relates to vaccine compositions which combine gangliosides and the N. meningitidis outer membrane protein complex (OMPC) in order to form very small size proteoliposomes (VSSP) which are intended for subcutaneous administration. The inventive compositions do not require the use of additional adjuvants.

Patent CA-2541708-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PEREZ VICTOR E
IPC: H01J17/16
Filed: 2006-04-04
Abstract: A method for reducing the loss of magnesium during the sintering of aluminum oxide articles, such as ceramic discharge vessels for lighting applications.  Magnesium oxide is added to aluminum oxide articles to control grain growth during sintering, but the sintering causes magnesium loss from the article. In order to address this problem, one or more aluminum oxide articles that are enriched in magnesium oxide are added to the sintering furnace to stem the loss of magnesium oxide in the remaining articles. The enriched aluminum oxide article is made by soaking a porous aluminum oxide article in an aqueous solution of magnesium nitrate and heating the porous article to convert the magnesium nitrate to magnesium oxide. The enriched articles may then be added in one or several locations to the sintering furnace, where the magnesium from the enriched articles is released to suppress the magnesium loss.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of managing the rights of subscribers to a pay television system comprising an access control system (CAS) having subscriber management systems (SMS1, SMS2, SMS3), which are each managed by an operator (OP1, OP2, OP3), and a plurality of subscriber decoders (STBn) connected thereto. Each of the aforementioned decoders (STBn) is equipped with a security module (SMn) containing the rights specific to each subscriber, thereby enabling same to decrypt encrypted digital data from a flow broadcast by at least one operator (OP1, OP2, OP3). Moreover, when rights are being modified by an operator in the security module (SMn) of a subscriber, the access control system (CAS): (i) receives data identifying a subscriber (IDSMn) together with commands for the modification of the rights C(Dm) of the subscriber from a subscriber management system (SMS1, SMS2, SMS3) of an operator (OP1, OP2, OP3), (ii) generates an entitlement management message (EMM1) containing the modified rights (Dm), and (iii) transmits said message (EMM1) to the security module (SMn) of the subscriber by means of the flow containing the encrypted data. The inventive method is characterised in that the modifications are verified as a function of the properties and available resources of the security module (SMn) and in that the entitlement management message (EMM1) containing the modified rights (Dm) is generated when the result of the verification is positive.

Abstract: A surface-emitting laser light source for generating a linearly polarized laser beam having a single-peak beam profile where the intensity at and near the center is the highest. A two-dimensional photonic crystal where a vacancy (311 or 312) is made in a plate (31) and arranged in a tetragonal lattice is disposed on one side of an active layer (23). The planar shape (surface B) of the vacancies (311, 312) shown on the plan view on the emission side is smaller than the planar shape (surface C) on the active layer side. The position of the center of gravity of the planar shape of surface B is apart in the in-plane direction from that of the planer shape of surface C. With this, the symmetry in the plane of the two-dimensional photonic crystal is degraded, and a linearly-polarized single-peak laser beam can be generated.
