Abstract: A network address translation gateway provides normal network translation for IP datagrams traveling from a local area network using local IP addresses to an external network, but suspends source service address (port) translation when the port is reserved for a specific protocol, such as the ISAKMP "handshaking" protocol that is part of the IPSec protocol model. ISAKMP exchanges require both source and target computers to use the same service address (port). By providing a network interface that does not translate the source service address (port), this gateway enables the initiation and maintenance of secure, encrypted transmissions using IPSec protocol between a local area network using local IP addresses and servers on the internet.

Abstract: This invention concerns aqueous compositions comprised of sulfonated aminotriazine/aldehyde polymers, e.g., sulfonated melamine/formaldehyde, processes for making these compositions, and methods of using these compositions as drainage aids in papermaking. These compositions, which become more turbid when diluted with water, provide improved drainage performance as compared to sulfonated aminotriazine/aldehyde polymers which do not become more turbid when diluted, or as compared to melamine/formaldehyde polymers which are not sulfonated.

Abstract: A novel liquid collector assembly has been developed for a reactor used in the sweetening of sour hydrocarbons (e.g. sour gasoline). This refinery process normally involves contacting a reaction liquid, comprising both aqueous (caustic solution) and organic (hydrocarbon) phases, with a fixed bed of oxidation catalyst. The collector assembly design, comprising a piping manifold and a plurality of dependent, vertically aligned, and perforated conduits, allows for improved separation of the reaction products into essentially pure treated hydrocarbon and spent alkaline reagent streams. If sodium hydroxide is used as caustic solution, for example, the treated hydrocarbon product will normally contain less than 1 ppm by weight of sodium.

Abstract: Backflow prevention is provided in connection with a device having one or more shut-off valves integrated with a double-check-valve backflow prevention device and/or housing. Preferably, a single housing encompasses two backflow preventer check valves, and upstream and downstream shut-off valves. Typically, end users cannot readily remove the shut-off valves (and/or their housing) from the backflow preventer check valves (and/or their housing). No flange or other connection between shut-off valves and backflow preventer check valves (and/or their housing) is required, reducing size, weight and labor requirements. The system can substantially reduce or eliminate potential for installation of double-check-valve backflow preventer devices without shut-off valves.

The identification of these genes therefore allows attenuated microorganisms to be produced that have a reduced ability to take up DNA. Microorganisms of the invention may be used in the production of genetically stable mutant microorganisms. The genes or their encoded products can be used in the manufacture of vaccines for therapeutic application.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and means for roaming in a cellular radio communication system with a pool of core network nodes, e.g. an MSC-pool (201). A Subscriber Identification Service Node (SISN) is used to handle roaming from a service area supported by a previous MSC/VLR (205) in the MSC-pool to a service area supported by a new MSC/VLR (303) arranged outside of the MSC-pool. The SISN (301) receives an identity request from the new MSC/VLR (303) and forwards it to the previous MSC/VLR (205). The SISN receives a response from the previous MSC/VLR and relays it to the new MSC/VLR. This means that the SISN helps the new MSC/VLR (303) to retrieve data from the right MSC/VLR within the MSC-pool (201).

Abstract: Chlamydia spp. are strictly intracellular pathogens that grow inside a vacuole, called an inclusion. They possess genes encoding proteins homologous to components of type III secretion machineries which, in other bacterial pathogens, are involved in delivery of bacterial proteins within or through the membrane of eukaryotic host cells. Inc proteins are chlamydial proteins that are associated with the membrane of the inclusion and are characterized by the presence of a large hydrophobic domain in their amino acid sequence. To investigate whether some Chlamydia proteins, especially Inc proteins and other proteins exhibiting a similar hydropathic profile, might be secreted, the inventors used an heterologous secretion system, namely a type III system. Chimeras were constructed by fusing the N-terminal part of these proteins with a reporter, the Cya protein of Bordetella pertussis, and expressed in various strains of Shigella flexneri. The inventors demonstrate that these hybrid proteins are secreted by the type III secretion system of S. flexneri. Moreover, the inventors show that three other proteins from C. pneumoniae, all of which have in common the presence of a large hydrophobic domain, are also secreted by S. flexneri type III secretion machinery.
