Title: Pole climbing and safety device
Inventor: SMITH RONALD
IPC: A62B35/00
Filed: 2002-10-02
Abstract: A pole climbing and safety device has a flexible strap which in use is passed around the pole on the opposite side thereof to a climber, and a pair of handles each adjacent a respective opposite end of the strap and grippable by the climber's hands, each handle being pivotally connected to the respective opposite end of the strap for pivotal movement relative thereto about an upright axis. The device also has a pair of harness attachment arms each adjacent an opposite end of the strap and to which left and right harness members of a harness worn by the climber are respectively attached when in use, each harness attachment arm being pivotally connected to the adjacent end of the strap for pivotal movement relative to the strap and to the adjacent handle about the same upright pivotal axis. Each harness attachment arm is located laterally inwardly of the adjacent handle when the device is in use on a pole, and carries a pole engaging member between the upright axis and the respective harness attachment which engages the pole when in use to prevent the device from sliding down the pole.

Title: Apparatus and method for enabling efficient multi-protocol database transaction processing
Inventor: KIRTON JO-ANNE M
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2002-10-17
Abstract: Efficient multi-protocol database transaction processing is enabled by separating source and target functionality, and using generic function names linked to function pointers to permit the source layer to call embedded functions in the target layer, and vice versa. Adding new program models and/or new communications protocols is thus significantly simplified.</SDOAB >

Title: Single copy genomic hybridization probes and method of generating same
Inventor: KNOLL JOAN H M
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-05-15
Abstract: Nucleic acid (e.g., DNA) hybridization probes are described which comprise a labeled, single copy nucleic acid which hybridizes to a deduced single copy sequence interval in target nucleic acid of known sequence. The probes, which are essentially free of repetitive sequences, can be used in hybridization analyses without adding repetitive sequence-blocking nucleic acids. This allows rapid and accurate detection of chromosomal abnormalities. The probes are preferably designed by first determining the sequence of at least one single copy interval in a target nucleic acid sequence, and developing corresponding hybridization probes which hybridize to at least a part of the deduced single copy sequence. In practice, the sequences of the target and of known genomic repetitive sequence representatives are compared in order to deduce locations of the single copy sequence intervals. The single copy probes can be developed by any variety of methods, such as PCR amplification, restriction or exonuclease digestion of purified genomic fragments, or direct synthesis of DNA sequences. This is followed by labeling of the probes and hybridization to a target sequence.

Title: Pallet container
Inventor: PRZYTULLA DIETMAR
IPC: B65D90/20
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: The instant invention relates to a pallet container (10) with a rigid thin-walled inner receptacle (12) from thermoplastic material for storage and transport of fluid or free-flowing loads, with a cage of crossed pipe bars (14) closely surrounding the plastic receptacle (12) as a support jacket and a bottom pallet (16) which supports the receptacle and on which the support jacket is firmly attached, whereby the cage (14) comprises vertical and horizontal pipe bars (30,32) firmly welded to each other.     Known pallet containers exhibit considerable flaws (pipe bar fractures due to fatigue) during extended dynamic vibrational stress, as experienced for example through stress due to lengthy transports on bad roads.   In accordance with the invention a suitable optimal vibration elasticity with sufficient flexural strength can be realized for improving the cage jacket, by configuring the vertical or/and horizontal pipe bars (30, 32) in their contact plane in the area of an intersection, such that they are free of indentations and each have at least one indentation lateral and at a distance from the intersection (36), respectively the welding point (34).

IPC: B23Q7/14
Filed: 2003-04-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus for assembling motorcycle frames includes a conveyor defining a path of travel and at least one pallet movable along the conveyor through at least one workstation. The pallet supports at least one rotatable frame for receiving individual components and/or sub-assemblies in fixed relationship with respect to one another in a geometry fixture. The angular position of the rotatable frame and supported geometry fixture can be reoriented about an axis of rotation by engagement with a drive motor. The rotatable frame is normally locked in an angular orientation with respect to the pallet until released by engagement with a lock release actuator or key. The pallet is supported on a movable section of the conveyor.  The movable section of the conveyor is operable in response to actuation of a drive motor.   When the movable section of the conveyor and supported pallet are moved, the movable section of the conveyor is guided between raised and lowered positions with respect to the workstation, and the support pallet is accurately and repeatably positioned with respect to the workstation for automated processing operations at the workstation.

Title: Space-time-frequency coded ofdm over frequency-selective fading channels
Inventor: GIANNAKIS GEORGIOS B
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 2003-05-01
Abstract: Techniques are described for space-time-frequency (STF) coding of multi- carrier transmissions over frequency-selective fading channels. In particular, techniques for STF coding of MIMO-OFDM systems are described that provide maximum diversity, high coding gains, and low decoding complexity are described. A set of generally correlated OFDM subcarriers are divided into groups of subcarriers creating a set of group STF (GSTF) subsystems, within which STF coding is applied to each GSTF subsystem. Subcarrier grouping preserves maximum diversity gains and simplifies both the code construction within each GSTF and decoding complexity. ST coding techniques are used in designing STF block (STFB) and STF trellis (STFT) codes which are applied within GSTF subsystems.

IPC: C04B35/563
Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: A composite body produced by a reactive infiltration process that possesses high mechanical strength, high hardness and high stiffness has applications in such diverse industries as precision equipment and ballistic armor. Specifically, the composite material features a boron carbide filler or reinforcement phase, and a silicon component with a porous mass having a carbonaceous component. Potential deleterious reaction of the boron carbide with silicon during infiltration is suppressed by alloying or dissolving boron into the silicon prior to contact of the silicon infiltrant with the boron carbide. In a preferred embodiment of the invention related specifically to armor, good ballistic performance can be advanced by loading the porous mass or preform to be infiltrated to a high degree with one or more hard fillers such as boron carbide, and by limiting the size of the largest particles making up the mass. The instant reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) composite bodies surpass previous RBSC's as armor materials, and in this capacity approach the ballistic performance of current carbide armor ceramics but with potentially lower cost manufacturing methods, e.g., infiltration techniques.

Abstract: A teleconferencing system such that misconnection between a teleconference terminal and a communication controller is prevented, the use of the communication controller is optimized, and the conference condition can be set/modified through the teleconference terminal. Information about a first connection destination number is given to the teleconference terminal, and an ID number and password are given to each conference attendance. Information about the application of having a conference, the ID numbers and passwords of the conference attendances are recorded in a reception terminal when the reservation for the conference is made. When the application is accepted, the teleconference terminal sets up a connection to the reception terminal by using the first connection destination number and transmits the information about the ID numbers and passwords. The reception terminal determines a second connection destination number according to the result of collation of the ID numbers and passwords and transmits the information about the second connection destination number. The teleconference terminal sets up a connection to the communication controller by using the second connection destination number.
