Title: Method and system for messaging across cellular networks and a public data network
Inventor: CAREY CHARLES A
IPC: H04M1/725
Filed: 2001-03-06
Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for instant message communication in a wireless and non-wireless environment. A message is sent from a mobile unit device over a wireless communication network. The message includes a destination address, information associated with the mobile unit device's user, message content and message address. If, according to information previously stored for the mobile unit device's user at the instant message system, the destination address is associated with an instant message function, the associated instant message function is executed at the instant message system using the information contained in the message content, if required as determined by the associated instant message function. If, according to information previously stored for the mobile unit device's user at the instant message system, the destination address is associated with an instant message name, an instant message is created according to the message content and is sent to the user with the associated instant message name. For instant messages sent or received by a mobile unit device with known buddies, the instant message is optimized by tagging the instant message with a routing phone number that is unique to the mobile unit device and buddy combination, whose identity is stored both in the mobile unit device address book and in the instant message routing server.

Title: Method for manufacturing high-cationic starch solutions
Inventor: LIKITALO ANTTI
IPC: C08B31/18
Filed: 1999-06-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing starch solutions of high cation equivalent value (with a DS of 0.1-1.0). The starch to be cationized, advantageously an oxidized starch, is slurried to form a suspension of about 10-80% solids content in an aqueous mixture of a cationizing agent. In the cationization 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride or an equivalent chlorohydrin-functional cationizing agent is used by about 90-1100 g per kg starch solids, and a catalyst is added to the slurry. The reaction is carried out at a high solids content of 40-80%, preferably 50-60%, in at least two successive steps, in the first of which a temperature of about 5-40° C. is maintained, and in the second step a temperature of about 70-180° C.

Title: Vectorial modulator
Inventor: RUSSAT JEAN
IPC: H03C1/60
Filed: 1999-07-08
Abstract: An analogue phase shifter with vector modulator is envisioned. The analogue phase shifter has an input stage that provides the generation of a pseudo-basis of four vectors. The analogue phase shifter has a multiphase filter. The analogue phase shifter has an output stage that controls the amplitde of the basis vectors, and acts to recombine them. The input stase is made with a phase opposition signal generator and a multiphase filter. The input stase is made of four variable attenuators. The attenuators are for separate control of the amplitude of each of the basis vectors. The output stage also has a common output providing the summation of four quadrature channels. In one case, the output stage includes two differential amplifiers. In another case the quadrature channels are connected to the common output through buffer amplifier stages, each followed by a summation capacitor.

Date May 11, 1994A controlled release capsule comprises a male plug (2) formed of a water-swellable hydrogel which is engaged with a neck portion (4) of a female body (6). The capsule is intended to deliver two dosages of pharmaceutically active material at different times. A water soluble cap (8) is fitted over mouth (14) of the body, and defines a first volume (9) containing a first unit dosage (10). A second unit dosage (12) is contained within a second volume (11) defined by the plug and the female body.

Title: Method and apparatus for testing a subject's perception of visual stimuli
Inventor: HEIJL ANDERS
IPC: A61B3/024
Filed: 1994-03-22
Abstract: In a method of testing a subject's perception of successively presented visual stimuli, a predetermined preliminary response time window is used at the beginning of the test to preliminarily classify the visual stimuli as "seen" or "not seen" depending on whether or not a response is received from the subject within the preliminary response time window. To permit reclassification of the visual stimuli at a later stage, the time of reception of every response, whether outside or within the preliminary response time windows, is stored. When an appropriate number of stimuli have been presented, a subject-adapted response time window is determined on the basis of the stored times of reception of the responses. This subject-adapted response time window is used for reclassifying the preliminarily classified stimuli. Moreover, the frequency of false positive responses can be determined on the basis of the number of responses received outside the preliminary response time window and/or the subject-adapted response time window. An apparatus for carrying out the testing includes a control unit operating according to the method.
