Inventor: ANZALONE JOHN
IPC: B05B1/30
Filed: 2003-05-16
Abstract: The present invention comprises a casing with an opened end for receiving a liquid and a holding end where the liquid is stored. Between the open end and the holding end there narrow neck. A ball is placed into the opened end of the casing, so that lodging the ball into the neck will seal the neck area so that the liquid contained within the holding area will remain in the holding area until the ball is dislodged upon impact. Attached to the opened end of the casing is a nozzle. The nozzle serves two purposes, first it assures that the liquid contained within the casing does not quickly run out of the device upon impact minimizing the spray area covered by the liquid. Additionally the nozzle contains a number of holes distributed throughout the surface of said nozzle, so that the passage of liquid through the nozzle will cause the device to flail erratically, further maximizing the area sprayed by the device.

IPC: G06F16/953
Filed: 2003-09-05
Abstract: When searching for new people, the current instant messaging networks typically allow users to search mainly by name or by e-mail and some of them also by interests, although one of them (Odigo) allows to search also by sex, age, area, languages, occupation & interests. However, to the best of the inventor's knowledge there is no way to systematically search in these networks for compatible dates by attributes such as for example education, general background, appearance, attitudes, and personality, or by reciprocal compatibility in any of the above mentioned attributes. This is a waste of a huge potential since some of these networks already have more than dozens of millions of people. Also, Odigo allows searching only among people currently connected, which means that highly compatible dates can be missed just because they don't happen to be connected at exactly the time of the search.  The present invention is a novel concept which applies computer dating to the context of instant messaging, in a systematic and flexible way that to the best of the inventor's knowledge has never been done before. This system and method enable the user to search and find instantly compatible dates in instant messaging networks on the basis of attribute search or 1-way compatibility search or 2-way compatibility search instead of being limited to search only by the limited options described above, and to search either for potential dates that are currently Online or Offline, and also take advantage of many additional features, and especially features that are based on improved integration between computer dating and instant messaging.

Title: Pulse wave detecting apparatus and fourier transform process apparatus
Inventor: TSUBATA KEISUKE
IPC: A61B5/02
Filed: 2003-10-03
Abstract: A pulse wave detecting apparatus is provided which is capable of accurately measuring a pulse rate, even with a calculation unit having low calculating capability. An A-D conversion circuit samples a pulse wave detected by a pulse wave sensor at 16 Hz to perform A-D conversion of the same and sequentially outputs resultant signals to a modified moving average process circuit. The modified moving average process circuit sequentially averages two of the signals from the A-D conversion circuit without duplication and outputs signals at 8 Hz, and an FFT circuit performs Fourier transform on signals obtained through the averaging.  Another A-D conversion circuit samples kinetic noises detected by an acceleration sensor at 8 Hz to perform A-D conversion of the same and sequentially outputs resultant signals to another FFT circuit, and the FFT circuit performs Fourier transform on the input signals. A pulse rate calculation circuit obtains differences between the signals output by the FFT circuits to calculate a pulse rate. The pulse rate is displayed by a display section.

Title: Means and methods for identifying genes and proteins involved in the prevention and/or repair of a replication error
Inventor: TIJSTERMAN MARCEL
IPC: C12Q1/6886
Filed: 2002-05-22
Abstract: The DNA in a cell is prone to mutation. Since too many mutations are detrimental to the survival of a cell or an organism, special mechanism have developed to prevent and/or repair at least part of such mutations. Many of these mechanisms act before the mutation becomes fixed into the genome throu gh replication of the DNA. Some of the genes involved in the prevention of mutations have been identified. However, prior to the invention there was no coherent and systematic way of doing so. The means and methods of the invention enable a person skilled in the art to determine whether a product of a gene is involved in the prevention of a mutation. Identified genes can be used to develop diagnostic tools or used as a target for drug development to manipulate cells on the basis of the presence or absence of function of this gene. Since DNA instability is one of the reasons for rapid tumor progressio n, it will be useful to provide cancer cells with additional product of such genes for instance through gene therapy.

Title: System for delivering data over a network
Inventor: LAM WING-KAI
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2002-07-29
Abstract: This invention describes a new method and system for delivering data over a network to a large number of clients, which may be suitable for building lar ge- scale Video-on-Demand (VOD) systems. In current VOD systems, the client may suffer from a long latency before starting to receive the requested data tha t is capable of providing sufficient interactive functions, or the reverse, without significantly increasing the network load. The method utilizes two groups of data streams, one responsible for minimizing latency while the oth er one provides the required interactive functions. In the anti-latency data group, uniform, non-uniform or hierarchical staggered stream intervals may b e used. The system of this invention may have a relatively small startup laten cy while users may enjoy most of the interactive functions that are typical of video recorders. Furthermore, this invention may also be able to maintain th e number of data streams, or the bandwidth, required.
