Patent NO-953631-D0 (NO)
Inventor: BACKUS JOHN WESLEY
IPC: C12Q1/6806
Filed: 1995-09-14
Abstract: Nucleic acids can be made available for amplification or other treatment after lysis by contacting the lysate with specific weakly basic polymers to form a precipitate with the nucleic acids at acidic pH. After removing non-precipitated materials, the pH is then made basic, thereby releasing the nucleic acids from the polymer. This method for preparing specimen samples is simple and quite rapid, and the released nucleic acids can be further treated in hybridization assays or amplification procedures. The weakly basic polymers are water-soluble and cationic at acidic pH, but neutral in charge at basic pH.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/CH96/00136 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 14, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 14, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 15, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/32516 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 17, 1996The residues arising from industrial processes and from waste disposal which are polluted with heavy metals and/or heavy metal compounds, are subjected to a two-stage reduction process with formation of re-usable metal-containing and silicon-containing alloys. In a first reduction stage, using carbon or carbon-generating means as the reduction means, the compounds of silicon and metals are reduced, which have a standard potential which is greater than that of silicon. Following separation of the reduced metals, the residue obtained, which contains aluminum in oxidized form, is subsequently converted to a salt melt and this salt melt is subjected to a second reduction stage of a fused salt electrolysis, yielding an aluminum and silicon melt. The process is particularly suitable for filter residues from waste incineration plants.

Abstract: A method for transferring data from a first switch to a second switch selectively by line-switching or by packet-switching as wellas to a switch for carrying out the method. Data packets are thereby first transferred packet-switched through a packet-switching network to the second switch. With the presence of a corresponding control signal a line-switching connection is established from the first switch to the second switch and the data are then transferred through this connection. Where applicable a renewed changeover to a packet-switching transfer is carried out. A flexible packet-switching or line-switching data transfer linked with dynamic costs between the junctions of a telecommunications network is enabled.

Title: Method of operating a contact center
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2004-06-10
Abstract: Some known Contact Centers rely on a Network Level Router to determine which of a number of available Contact Centers should deal with a given contact. This decision is made by the NLR based on real time information provided by the Contact Centers. However, the format of such information is proprietary which means that the NLR must translate and collate this information. This invention seeks to use session initiation protocol (SIP) Presence for such information transfer which enables improved decision making and further enables additional functionality to be added to the Contact Center system. The invention provides a SIP enabled Contact Center (180, 190, 200) comprising a Contact Center server arranged to send SIP messages to one or more other SIP enabled nodes in a SIP communications network, said SIP messages comprising SIP presence information about the current state of the Contact Center.

Patent GB-8427112-D0 (GB)
Title: Electrode
IPC: A61B5/296
Filed: 1984-10-26
Abstract: The invention relates to an electrode intended, for example, for electrocardiogram examinations, and capable of being held in position by suction. Vacuum conditions are created through a hose or tube (8), through which a measuring conductor (7) is drawn. The electrode comprises an inflexible backpiece (3), an intermediate component (2) made of an elastomeric material, and an electrode plate (1), preferably made of a silver-coated plastics. The intermediate component (2) includes a relatively inflexible sealing ring (9) which, in the operative state of the electrode, supports against the skin of a patient via a sealing lip (13) and against the opposing side of the backpiece (3). The electrode plate (1) is firmly connected to the backpiece, while the sealing ring carried by the intermediate component (2) is movable and can be readily sprung away from the backpiece (via resilient means 17). When no load is exerted on the lip-side of the ring and the ring is thus urged outwardly, a vacuum valve is closed automatically through the intermediate component (2), and is re-opened when the electrode is pressed against the surface of the skin, whereupon the electrode is held firmly by suction.
