Title: Method and system for communication in a wireless network
Inventor: GRANT ALEXANDER JAMES
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2012-02-10
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for processing data in a wireless communication network. Iterative estimation techniques are used to enable tracking of time-varying communication channels. A signal is transmitted over a channel in the network, the signal comprising a sequence of symbols carried on a plurality of sub-carriers. Boot-up estimator (304) estimates, in a time domain, parameters of a model of the channel based on the received signal. A domain converter (206) transforms at least one of the estimated parameters from the time domain to provide at least one transformed parameter in a second domain. An equalizer (210) and decoder (212) determine estimates of symbols from the received signal using the at least one transformed parameter, and tracking estimator (314) updates the estimated model parameters during reception of the signal using at least one estimated symbol.

Title: Radiation-induced thickening and radiation-induced triggering for set-on-command sealent compositions and methods of use
Inventor: LEWIS SAMUEL J
IPC: C09K8/42
Filed: 2012-03-02
Abstract: The present invention includes methods and compositions relating to the setting of fluids or slurries in a wellbore. In one embodiment, a method of isolating a portion a wellbore includes preparing a sealant composition having a fluid component, a polymeric additive constituent, and a set modifier component. The sealant composition is placed into a wellbore and subjected to ionizing radiation.

Title: Lactobacillus paracasei NCC2461 (ST11) for use by perinatal maternal administration in the reduction and prevention of allergies in progeny
Inventor: MERCENIER ANNICK
IPC: A23L1/30
Filed: 2012-04-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a probiotic, Lactobacillus paracasei NCC 2461, i.e. ST11, for use by administration to expectant females and/or lactating mothers, and to their progeny for the reduction or prevention of the development of allergic immune responses in progeny. A daily dose of ST11 is administered to a pregnant woman for at least two weeks before delivery and, after delivery, the daily dose of ST11, is administered to the lactating mother or the newborn infant for at least two months, either directly or via the mother's milk. The infant immune responses to allergens are thus reduced, resulting in a "dampened" allergic response. Thus allergy, including atopy, may be prevented in the progeny.

Title: System and method for applying a reflectance modifying agent to improve the visual attractiveness of human skin
Inventor: EDGAR ALBERT D
IPC: B41J3/36
Filed: 2013-01-25
Abstract: A computer-controlled system determines attributes of a frexel, an area of human skin, and applies a modifying agent (RMA) at the pixel level, typically to make the skin appear more youthful and so more attractive. The system scans the frexel, identifies unattractive attributes, and applies the RMA, typically with an inkjet printer. The identified attributes relate to reflectance and may refer to features such as irregular-looking light and dark spots, age-spots, scars, and bruises. Identified attributes may also relate to the surface topology of the skin, for more precisely enhancing surface irregularities such as bumps and wrinkles. Feature mapping may be used, for example to make cheeks appear pinker and cheekbones more prominent. The RMA can be applied in agreement with identified patterns, such as adding red to a red frexel, or in opposition, such as adding green or blue to a red frexel, according to idealized models of attractiveness.
