Title: Apparatus for making a bowl from a loaf of bread
Inventor: WOODS CHARLES
IPC: B26D3/06
Filed: 1998-10-20
Abstract: A device for hollowing out food products such as loaves of hemispherically shaped bread for the purpose of using the hollowed out loaf as a bowl for food. The device has a knife for cutting into the loaf and a loaf platform for holding the loaf of bread. The platform and knife are angled so that the cutting action removes a uniform sized conical section of bread from the central region of the loaf.

Title: Absorbent article having internal side wrapping elements
Inventor: HAMMONS JOHN LEE
IPC: A61F13/472
Filed: 1997-05-01
Abstract: Absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, adult incontinence devices and the like are disclosed. The absorbent articles described herein provide improved coverage of the wearer's undergarments and have improved side wrapping elements that fold or wrap the sides of a wearer's undergarments. The side wrapping elements are configured so that the majority of the surface area of the side wrapping elements is located laterally inward of the outwardmost portion of the main body portion of the absorbent article. The absorbent article can, thus, be thought of as having "internal flaps" that can fold around a wearer's undergarments.

Title: Adenosine deaminase inhibitors
Inventor: PRAGNACHARYULU PALLE V P
IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 1996-07-15
Abstract: This invention disclosed (2S,3R)-3(6-aminopurin-9-yl)aralkan-2-ols, a novel class of adenine derivatives (also called 9-aralkyladenines, ARADS), which have been shown to inhibit the enzyme adenosine deaminase at therapeutically useful levels. The relevant inhibitory constant (Ki) values are in the range of 10-7 - 10-10 M. These compounds with potencies in this range can reversibly inhibit ADA in an effective manner, without permanently deactivating the enzyme. ADA inhibitors that have similar biological profiles have been shown to be of therapeutic value when used to protect heart muscle against ischemic damage.

Title: Virtual postage meter with secure digital signature device
Inventor: LEE DAVID K
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: A system (10) and method of evidencing postage payment includes a data center (3) with a database (36) having a plurality of meter records (64) stored therein. Each meter record (64) includes meter information corresponding to a metering account assigned to each of a plurality of remote user devices (20, 22) that are authorized to request evidence of postage payment. When a request for postage (100) is received at the data center (30), a secure co-processor device (44) in the data center (3) obtains the appropriate meter record (64) and verifies the authenticity of the meter record (64) by verifying a signature (205, 210) in the meter record (64) and comparing freshness data (220, 225) in the meter record (64) to freshness data in the secure device (44). If verified, the secure device (44) then accounts for an amount of postage to be evidenced (130), generates evidence of postage payment (130) and updates the meter information, including the freshness data (130), in the meter record (64). The secure device (44) then signs the updated meter information and stores the signature in the meter record (64, 135, 140). The secure device (44) then returns the updated meter record (64) to the database (36, 135, 140).

Abstract: A system and method for printing postage indicia, including a desired postage amount, onto a piece of mail. A user takes a postal dispensing device to, or establishes information communication with, an authorized agent of a postal authority in order to obtain a replenishment of the amount of postage stored within the portable postage dispensing device. A desired amount of postage is entered into the dispensing device by an authorized agent through a host processor-based system. The user is then able to access this stored postage at the user's location through a network of processor-based systems. By using the network of processor-based systems the user is able to couple the portable dispensing device to a first processor-based system and then allow distribution of postage amounts to multiple ones of the networked processor-based systems. These ones of the networked processor-based systems may then print an authorized postage indicia on a postal item.

Title: Methods, apparatus and computer program products for determining quantities of nucleic acid sequences in samples using standard curves and amplification ratio estimates
Inventor: NYCZ COLLEEN M
IPC: C12Q1/6851
Filed: 1999-05-18
Abstract: Methods for determining quantities of nucleic acid sequences in samples undergoing amplification utilize amplification ratio estimates (R*) in operations to accurately perform absolute quantitation even when amplification factors for the target and control sequences undergoing amplification are different, time dependent or vary as a function of starting concentrations of nucleic acid sequences. These operations also take into account conversion efficiencies associated with the conversion of probes upon generation of target or control amplicons, but do not require the explicit calculation of such efficiencies. The operations also recognize that a preferred R* should be determined based on a preferred statistical criterion to improve quantitation. In addition, the use of standard samples having known starting concentrations of target and control sequences therein may enable accurate absolute quantitation without the explicit calculation of amplification ratio estimates.

Title: Process for the preparation of stanol esters
Inventor: EKBLOM JARI
IPC: C07J9/00
Filed: 1998-02-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of stanol esters by hydrogenating a sterol blend in a hydrogenation solvent and at an elevated temperature in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, by removing the hydrogenation catalyst from the obtained hot reaction solution, by transesterifying the intermediate stanol blend with a fatty acid methyl ester at an elevated temperature and in the presence of a transesterification catalyst, and by finally purifying the stanol ester blend thus obtained. According to the invention, the intermediate stanol blend is neither crystallized nor removed from the reaction solution but the hydrogenation solvent is replaced therein at least in part by a transesterification reagent. Alternatively, the hydrogenation solvent may also be used as the transesterifacation solvent, and preferably also as the transesterification reagent.

Abstract: A non-uniform memory access (NUMA) computer system includes a plurality of processing nodes coupled to a node interconnect. The plurality of processing nodes include at least a remote processing node, which contains a processor having an associated cache hierarchy, and a home processing node. The home processing node includes a shared system memory containing a plurality of memory granules and a coherence directory that indicates possible coherence states of copies of memory granules among the plurality of memory granules that are stored within at least one processing node other than the home processing node. If the processor within the remote processing node has a reservation for a memory granule among the plurality of memory granules that is not resident within the associated cache hierarchy, the coherence directory associates the memory granule with a coherence state indicating that the reserved memory granule may possibly be held non-exclusively at the remote processing node. In this manner, the coherence mechanism can be utilized to manage processor reservations even in cases in which a reserving processor's cache hierarchy does not hold a copy of the reserved memory granule.

Inventor: JOURDAN AMAURY
IPC: H04B10/296
Filed: 1999-10-07
Abstract: the system ensures correct balancing of final output multiplex signal after re-insertion of signals. A selection module (J) receives an upstream multiplex (M) and selectively diverts at least one channel of this multiplex towards an extraction port (C). A switching element (K) orientates this channel and directs it during certain periods towards an insertion port (D) for the re-insertion into the downstream channel (N) to include at least one other channel of the upstream multiplex. An amplifier (1) is arranged with sufficient gain to increase the wave which circulates during these periods along a closed loop (C-E-F-D-C) which includes the two ports and the switching element. This wave enables the balancing of the downstream multiplex.
