Abstract: A power line communications system has a power line having a plurality of conductors which carry communications signals. A set of communications signals are coupled to a set of the plurality of conductors, each signal being coupled to a respective one of the set of conductors and the phasor relationship of the set of communications signals is chosen such that radiation of communications signals from the power line is minimised. The phasor relationship may be achieved by phase shifting one or more of the signals. This method allows communications signals to be transmitted at higher power levels, thereby extending range of transmission, while minimizing radiation from the line.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de transmission de données Internet entre un hôte mobile et un hôte à distance couplés via l'Internet et un réseau téléphonique cellulaire GSM/GPRS. Pour définir plusieurs niveaux de qualité de service (QoS) de l'Internet, en termes de délai d'acheminement garanti sur l'Internet, on utilise le protocole de réservation de ressources (RSVP). On met une QoS en correspondance avec un mode de transmission à commutation de circuits (données à commutation de circuits à grande vitesse) du réseau téléphonique, alors qu'une charge régulée et une QoS d'effort maximum sont mises en correspondance respectivement avec différents niveaux de service d'un mode de transmission à commutation par paquets (service général de radiocommunication par paquets) du réseau de radiotéléphonie. Si nécessaire, avant la transmission de données Internet, la capacité de transmission de l'Internet est réservée pour assurer que le niveau de QoS affecté est satisfait. La transmission se fait ensuite via l'Internet et le réseau téléphonique au moyen du mode de transmission du réseau téléphonique correspondant à la QoS affectée.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved blow molded plastic container that is adapted for hot fill applications. The hot fill container of the present invention comprises a plurality of vacuum panels, having substantially arched upper and lower ends, as opposed to the substantially straight upper and lower ends as described in the related art. The hot fill container of the invention further comprises novel and unique vacuum panel reinforcement means. The vacuum panel reinforcement means are a series of arched ribs. One series of ribs is placed in the label mounting area above the vacuum panels and one series of ribs is placed in the label mounting area below the vacuum panels. The ribs extend noncontinuously around the circumference of the body of the plastic container and are spaced apart from each other by a land area. Each rib is also spaced apart from the vacuum panel and is centered over a land area between vacuum panels. The hot fill bottle of the invention is particularly adapted to minimize the stress placed on the corners of vacuum panels and to resist flexing when the container is filled with a hot liquid.

Abstract: Methods are provided for forming spherical multilamellar microcapsules having alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic liquid layers, surrounded by flexible, semi-permeable hydrophobic or hydrophilic outer membranes which can be tailored specifically to control the diffusion rate. The methods of the invention rely on low shear mixing and liquid-liquid diffusion process and are particularly well suited for forming microcapsules containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. These methods can be carried out in the absence of gravity and do not rely on density-driven phase separation, mechanical mixing or solvent evaporation phases. The methods include the process of forming, washing and filtering microcapsules. In addition, the methods contemplate coating microcapsules with ancillary coatings using an electrostatic field and free fluid electrophoresis of the microcapsules. The microcapsules produced by such methods are particularly useful in the delivery of pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: A method is provided for more efficiently transmitting data from a server computer to a client computer over a communications network, the nodes of which are capable of providing two classes of transmission quality. Data is transmitted using the high priority class until a local cache at the client computer is filled to a certain upper threshold, at which point the data is transmitted using the low priority class. If the local cache at the client computer subsequently reaches a lower threshold then the transmitted reverts to the use of the high priority class. The communications network may be connection-based (e.g. ATM) or connection-less (e.g. the Internet).
