Title: A method for enhancing the channel utilisation in a cdma system
Inventor: CAI JIANYONG
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2001-05-08
Abstract: An apparatus and method for enhancing channel utilization in a CDMA system are provided. The method includes the steps of receiving a service request for data transmission on a channel; transmitting a service feature by the CDMA system to a channel management module, whereby a channel multiplexing method and a channel bandwidth are selected by the channel management module based on the service feature; transmitting data, wherein when a data transmission rate changes to an extent that capacity of a currently configured channel cannot satisfy a requirement of the data transmission rate, the currently configured channel is re-assigned by the channel management module; accounting a variation of the data transmission rate by the service access module during the data transmission; modifying the service feature of the current service; and updating a corresponding record of the service feature in a system database, so that when a next service request of a same service type of the user is received, updated record of the service feature is used as a reference for configuring and assigning the channel. Accordingly, the channel utilization is enhanced, and the number of times for re-assigning a channel is significantly decreased. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-1502395-A4 (EP)
Title: Traffic network flow control using dynamically modified metrics for redundancy connections
Inventor: PATRICK MICHAEL W
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-04-24
Abstract: Distance vector routing protocols such as the Routing Information Protocol fail to rapidly reconfigure to use redundant links. By modifying the outgoing advertised hop count upon detecting a failure in a connection for which a backup or redundant connection exists, incoming traffic is diverted to the redundant or backup connection. An artificially high hop count is advertised for a given port, and when a failure or loss of reachability occurs in a connection associated with that port, an advertisement of a lower hop count on the backup or redundant connection for the given port is triggered. This causes rapid rerouting of incoming traffic to the backup or redundant connection.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-10-06
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une technique destinée à un système de multiplexage temporel dans lequel l'accès à des supports de communication par diffusion partagés est accordé sur la base d'une demande. A des connexions particulières sont attribués des créneaux de temps au niveau de l'émetteur sur la base d'une demande. Cependant, aucune information spécifique relative à l'attribution de créneaux de temps n'a besoin d'être communiquée aux récepteurs. Le côté émission emploie une technique de correction d'erreur de transmission vers l'avant suivie de la multiplication par une séquence de couverture unique à chaque connexion. Tous les récepteurs sont constamment à l'écoute du canal d'émission par diffusion. Le récepteur associé à chaque connexion décode les signaux de sorte que seul le récepteur qui possède la séquence de couverture correcte attribuée à un connexion particulière décode avec succès les données associées à cette connexion. Les trames de données pour lesquelles le traitement de correction d'erreur de transmission vers l'avant a échoué sont rejetées, et seules les trames qui sont décodées avec succès passent à une couche supérieure. L'occurrence d'une trame de réception erronée n'est pas toujours signalée au côté émission de la connexion, seule une indication d'erreur au niveau des paquets est faite. De cette manière, des informations contenant l'attribution de créneaux de temps n'ont pas besoin d'être communiquées entre l'émetteur et le récepteur, et les données sont pourtant correctement reçues.

Title: Staple fibers and processes for making same
Inventor: CHANG JING-CHUNG
IPC: D02G1/02
Filed: 2003-12-17
Abstract: A process of making staple fibers of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) includes feeding undrawn yarn (1) to a dip tank (2), forwarding by rolls (3, 4) and wetted under water. Wetted undrawn yarn (1) is forwarded by rolls (5, 6, 7, 8, 10) to a first drawing stage in a dip tank (9) and is partially drawn between rolls (10,11) under water in the dip tank (9). The yarn (1’) is then partially drawn by rolls (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) which are driven at a faster speed than roll (10). The partially drawn yarn (1’’) is then rewetted by water spray jets (17) and is further drawn by rolls (18, 19, 20, 21) and puller rolls (22, 23) which are driven at a faster speed than roll (16). Nip rolls (5’, 8’, 14’, 22’, 25’) are used to minimize yarn slippage. After the second drawing, a finish sprayer (24) applies a dilute processing finish to the drawn yarn (1’’’), which is then forwarded and maintened under tension by puller rolls (25, 26) into a suffer box crimper (27) by driven crimper nip rolls (26’), where it is crimped and thermofixed by application of steam (28). The crimped yarn (1’’’’) is then forwarded in a relaxed state throuph a conventional belt dryer (29), cut by a rotary cutter (30) and baled (31) for storage and shipping.

Abstract: Stable expression of GUS under control of the OMT promoter was achieved in sugarcane. Furthermore, such expression was stem-specific.  Specifically, embryonic calli of sugarcane cultivar CP72-1210 were transformed with pOMT::GUSpUC vectors using gene gun/biolistic-mediated transfer (Irvine and Mirkov, 1997 Sugar Journal 60:25-29; Inglebrecht et al, 1999 Plant Physiol. 119;1187-1197). Histochemical localization of GUS expression was determined using 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indoyl glucuronide. (See  FIGURE 10A .) Intense GUS staining was observed in the stem nodal area and vascular bundles. (See  FIGURE 10B .)  The generated sugarcane OMT transgenic lines were analyzed by DNA gel blot. HindIII digested genomic DNA from the transgenic lines were hybridized with a GUS probe. Results showed the presence of at least one copy of the GUS transgene in most lines analyzed. Several lines had multiple copies. (See  FIGURE 11 .)  Embryonic rice calli (Taipei 309) were transformed with pOMT:pUCpCambia using Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA 105 (Aldemita and Hodges 1996). 27 lines for each of pOMT1 and pOMT2 were created. Histochemical analysis of transformed clones showed intense GUS staining in the stem vascular bundles. (See  FIGURE 12 .) HindIII digested genomic DNA from the transgenic lines were hybridized with a hygromycin probe. Results showed the presence of at least one copy of the hygromycin transgene in most lines analyzed. (See  FIGURE 13 .)  Analysis of GUS expression in pooled tissue was used to confirm the presence of GUS in transformed plants. Expression as compared to that driven by maize  ubiquitin
