Patent AU-2597502-A (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for handoff of a wireless packet data services connection
Inventor: ABROL NISCHAL
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-12-04
Abstract: A novel method and apparatus is disclosed for performing seamless handoff of a mobile station (MS) between Radio Access Networks (RANs) that use different types of wireless interfaces. The described embodiments enable an MS to handoff between different RANs without causing routing ambiguity, and without substantial loss of network data. Upon moving from the coverage area of a first RAN using a first wireless interface to the coverage area of a second RAN using a second wireless interface, an MS determines whether routing ambiguity may result from the change of RAN and, based on the determination, triggers a re-registration of its network address. A foreign agent (FA) within a packet data serving node (PDSN) monitors network address re-registrations in order to determine whether multiple RAN-PDSN (R-P) connections are being created for the same MS. Based on this determination, the PDSN terminates redundant R-P network connections resulting from movement of the MS between different RANs.
Patent AU-2647501-A (AU)
Title: Apparatus and method for automatic port identity discovery in heterogenous optical communications systems
Inventor: BUCHANAN WILLIAM M
IPC: H04B10/278
Filed: 2001-03-12
Abstract: In an optical telecommunications network in accordance with the principles of the present invention, a link connection undergoes an automatic port recognition process, whereby the port binding information for the link is detected, recorded and shared with the network elements connected by the link, before the link is used to transmit bearer traffic. One of a group of optical network elements that communicate through an out of band channel, such as a LAN, is "elected" a network element leader. After election, the leader network element coordinates the port discovery process; requests for port "recognition", responses to requests, and other messages are passed through the network element leader on the out of band channel from one non-leader network element to another. Once the recognition process is set up through the leader network element, an optical test signal is transmitted along the link in question from the recognition requesting network element to all other network element s in the network. The receiving network elements monitor the power level at each of their "inactive" ports and the inactive port at which an increased energy level is detected is determined to be the port attached to the link in question. <IMAGE>

Title: Simplified sequential chemiluminescent detection
Inventor: AKHAVAN-TAFTI HASHEM
IPC: C12Q1/28
Filed: 1999-04-16
Abstract: A method for sequential chemiluminescent detection of two differently labeled analytes on a single blot is described. In the method, a uniquely labeled DNA is detected with a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) substrate followed by the detection of another uniquely labeled DNA with a second different enzyme substrate which also inhibits the chemiluminescence generated by HRP. The sequential detection method described herein eliminates the need to strip and reprobe Southern, Northern and Western blots. Potential applications of this method include forensic DNA fingerprinting where more than one probe is used for probing a Southern blot, multiplex DNA sequencing of more than one template, detection of gene rearrangements, mutations and gene linkage.

Title: Biocidal applications of concentrated aqueous bromine chloride solutions
Inventor: MOORE ROBERT M JR
IPC: A01N59/00
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: Methods for disinfecting surfaces and for sanitizing bodies of water using a single-feed, bromine-based biocide are described. These methods use concentrated liquid biocide compositions comprising biocidally active bromine as the biocide. Also described is a process of producing the concentrated liquid biocide composition: mixed together are (a) bromine chloride and (b) an aqueous solution of alkali metal salt of sulfamic acid having a pH of at least about 7, in amounts such that (i) the active bromine content of the composition is at least about 100,000 ppm (wt/wt), and (ii) the atom ratio of nitrogen to active bromine in the composition is greater than 0.93. Use of bromine chloride as the source of the active bromine in the process is advantageous because in the resulting aqueous compositions, all of the bromine of the bromine chloride is made available as active bromine in solution. In other words, the chlorine of the bromine chloride is converted in the process to dissolved alkali metal chloride salt, thereby liberating all of the bromine as the active bromine content of the biocidal composition.

The upper surface (13) of the upper annular part (11) is so disposed that the minimum included angle between that surface and the direction of movement of the wire or tube through the gas jet wiping nozzle is at least 10<o>.
Patent AU-4139097-A (AU)
Title: Process for generating power including a combustion process
Inventor: ASEN KNUT INGVAR
IPC: F23C99/00
Filed: 1997-07-02
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for generating power and/or heat in a combustion process having a fuel combusted with an oxygen-containing gaseous mixture as an oxidant supplied from a mixed conducting membrane capable of separating oxygen from oxygen-containing gaseous mixtures at elevated temperatures. The oxygen is picked up from the permeate side of the membrane by means of a sweep gas. The sweep gas can be obtained from at least one combustion process upstream the membrane. The sweep gas can be formed by mixing a recycled part of the exhaust gas containing oxygen and fuel which are passed over a catalytic or non-catalytic burner or combuster. The process produces a resultant exhaust gas with a high concentration of CO2 and a low concentration of NOx making the exhaust gas stream suitable for direct use in different processes, for injection in a geological formation for long term deposition or for enhanced oil and natural gas recovery.
