Title: Method and system for sorting mail
Inventor: CORMACK CAMERON LANNING
IPC: B07C3/00
Filed: 2006-05-19
Abstract: A method and system for sorting mailpieces in a single pass is provided. The system consists of a mail feeding unit, a mail scanner and a mail distribution unit having a number of receiving bins. Mailpieces are fed into the system one at a time through the scanner to determine the mailstop of the mailpiece. A control system assigns unique mailstops to unique receiving bins. Each mailpiece is deposited in a receiving bin assigned with its mailstop. When the number of mailstops exceeds the number of receiving bins, the control system empties a receiving bin and assigns the new mailstop to the emptied bin so it can receive mailpieces having the new mailstop.   Accordingly, the system can sort mail destined for "m" mailstops into "n"  receiving bins where "m" is greater than "n".

Title: Process for the holding operation of a fischer-tropsch synthesis
Inventor: RUEGER DIETMAR
IPC: C10G2/00
Filed: 2006-10-20
Abstract: During the necessary change-over to a holding operation of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis as a result of problems leading to a runaway reaction of the Fischer--Tropsch reactions, the reactor is not depressurised after cutting off the supply of fresh synthesis gas to the Fischer-Tropsch reactor and the temperature is not reduced to below the temperature below which a Fischer-Tropsch reaction no longer takes place, but the reactor is charged with an inert gas free from catalyst poison which gas is kept in a vessel at a pressure higher than the operating pressure of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis until the reacting components have been flushed out from the FT system via the pressure holding valve. During this process, the reactor is merely inerted for a few seconds while maintaining the pressure and the temperature, and the Fischer-Tropsch reaction is thus interrupted. Catalyst damage does not occur and a change to the liquid phase situation on the catalyst is also reduced and/or does not occur, which facilitates the subsequent commissioning phase.

Title: Single-primer nucleic acid amplification methods
Inventor: BECKER MICHAEL M
IPC: C07H21/04
Filed: 2005-08-26
Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel methods of synthesizing multiple copies of a target nucleic acid sequence which are autocatalytic (i.e., able to cycle automatically without the need to modify reaction conditions such as temperature, pH, or ionic strength and using the product of one cycle in the next one). In particular, the present invention discloses a method of nucleic acid amplification which is robust and efficient, while reducing the appearance of side-products. The method uses only one primer, the "priming oligonucleotide," a 3'blocked promoter oligonucleotide and optionally, a means for terminating a primer extension reaction, to amplify RNA or DNA molecules in vitro, while reducing or eliminating the formation of side-products. The method of the present invention minimizes or eliminates the emergence of side-products, thus providing a high level of specificity. Furthermore, the appearance of side-products can complicate the analysis of the amplification reaction by various molecular detection techniques. The present invention minimizes or eliminates this problem, thus providing an enhanced level of sensitivity.
