Title: System and method of maintaining communications policy settings in a wireless network
Inventor: PLUMB MARC
IPC: H04Q7/38
Filed: 2006-10-26
Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of modifying policy settings in a network having a plurality of subscriber devices. An embodiment includes a plurality of base stations, each capable of wirelessly transmitting across a geographic region and a server. A  cell-phone, capable of roaming between regions, is operable to establish a wireless link with the base stations and through the base stations, with the server. The network contains a communication policy determining from which other communication devices a subscriber device can receive voice calls. The communication policy is updated, by the server, based on requests from the subscriber devices. Once a request is received from a subscriber device, the determination whether to update the communication policy can be based on a record of rejections respective to the caller requested to be blocked. Alternatively, the communication policy can be updated according to a trust policy maintained on the server respective to the subscriber device making the request; the trust policy represents the procedure to follow when a request is received from that subscriber device.

Abstract: An aircraft comprises a wing (2) defining an aerofoil surface, the wing (2) comprising a drooped leading edge flap (1) being moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The wing (2) is so arranged that during flight when the high-lift device is in the deployed position, air may flow through an opening (7) in the wing (2) and over the aerofoil surface. During flight, air preferably flows into the boundary layer (13) on the upper surface of the wing (2). This energises the boundary layer (13), aft of the trailing edge of the drooped leading edge flap increasing its stability allowing the maximum achievable lift coefficient to be increased and hence reducing aircraft take-off and approach speeds.

Title: Cloning and expression of recombinant adhesive protein mefp-1 of the blue mussel, mytilus edulis
Inventor: SILVERMAN HEATHER G
IPC: C07K14/435
Filed: 2005-08-08
Abstract: The present invention comprises a Mytilus edulis cDNA sequence having a nucleotide sequence that encodes for the Mytilus edulis foot protein-1 (Mefp-1), an example of a mollusk foot protein. Mefp-1 is an integral component of the blue mussels' adhesive protein complex, which allows the mussel to attach to objects underwater.

Abstract: The Maggie Dress garment is unique due to the design. It can be worn in many different styles depending if the fabric making up the body of the dress is held in front of, behind the body or over the shoulder. One can then insert either arm into one of the sleeve sections pull it on up to the shoulder and proceed to wrap the dress 1 1/2 times (or twice on the double layer version) around the body then the other arm is inserted into the other sleeve section. The Maggie Dress is now in it's first style...from this point the neckline and sleeve length can be adjusted to create many different looks. Either sleeve or both can be removed from either arm and wrapped around the body over the bust, around the neck, over the shoulder, under the bust, around the waist, around the hip and tied or clipped to create numerous other styles including at least two as a skirt. The Maggie Dress creates totally different styles depending on how and where the fabric in the body of the dress is placed when the garment is donned.Unlike other multi style dresses that are of tubular shape..The Maggie Dress is designed and worn in such a way as to skim to the body shape and can be adjusted to flatter different body types.. The garment is made of a fully washable and non wrinkle stretch micro fibre (other stretch fabrics can be used...eg: stretch chiffon...stretch jersey ..stretch acetates etc.).

Patent CA-2577749-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHESHTAWY ADEL
IPC: E21B7/12
Filed: 2007-02-12
Abstract: A subsea drilling system comprises a pressurized drilling capsule that is sealed against the subsea environment and houses equipment for manipulating a drillstring that extends through an opening in the drilling capsule to the exterior of the capsule. A drilling fluid handling assembly is contained within the drilling capsule that communicates drilling fluid through the drillstring and returns the drilling fluid to the water's surface via a drilling fluid conduit. A seafloor unit engages the seafloor and the drilling capsule to position the drilling capsule relative to the seafloor, and includes an opening for passing the drillstring into the seafloor. A pressurized transport unit is movable between the drilling capsule and a support vessel at or near the water's surface for delivering personnel and supplies to the drilling capsule. A method of drilling using the subsea drilling system is achieved by pressurizing a drilling capsule assembly and maintaining the drilling capsule assembly in a pressurized state suitable for human occupancy. The drilling capsule assembly is submerged by altering its buoyancy. The drilling capsule assembly is secured to the formation by drilling a pilot hole in the formation from within the drilling capsule assembly and by inserting a portion of the drilling capsule assembly into the pilot hole. A  drillstring is delivered to the drilling capsule assembly, the drillstring including at least one length of 30--foot drillpipe. A bottomhole assembly is made up into the drillstring and rotated from within the drilling capsule to bore a hole in the formation. The drillstring is selectively removed from the hole and the drilling capsule assembly, wherein the drillstring remains assembled and includes at least one length of 30-foot drill pipe.

Title: Fermenter comprising an agitator
Inventor: SCHMID WALTER
IPC: C12M1/06
Filed: 2005-11-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a fermenter which comprises an agitator. A problem associated with large, horizontal fermenters comprising an agitator is that the screw of the agitator caves in despite reinforcing constructions, thereby destroying the fermenter (1). In order to solve this problem, the shaft (10) of the agitator that extends longitudinally through the fermenter (1) and that is received on the fermenter ends (4, 6) is configured as a closed hollow element that is filled with gas or air. The pressure (P1) in the interior (14) of the hollow shaft (10) is monitored by a pressure-measuring element (16-18), thereby preventing liquid from entering the shaft, causing the shaft (10) to cave in and eventually destroying the fermenter.
