Title: A communication system and method therefor
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2000-08-23
Abstract: This invention relates to a communication system (100) and providing secure communication therefor. The communication system (100) comprises two networks (101, 129) which may be run by different operators each having a security controller (201,203) and a network element (123,125). The two security controllers (201,203) are operable to negotiate a security key and a security mechanism through a first communication link and communicate this to the network elements (123,125). The security mechanisms include security algorithms and protocols. The network elements (123,125) then communicate with each other through a second communication link using the security key and security mechanism communicated. The communication between the network elements (123,125) is via an Internet Protocol connection and the security mechanism and security key form a Security Association as defined in IPsec as standardised by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The invention is applicable to UMTS communication systems.

Title: Method and kits for detection of bacteria
IPC: C12Q1/689
Filed: 1993-09-22
Abstract: A method for detection, identification and/or quantification of target organisms of specific bacterial genus, species or serotype, based upon the occurrence of release of cell contents, particularly nucleotides e.g. ATP, on lysis of bacterial cell walls on incubation with bacteriophages (phages) specific for them. When new phage particles are released at the end of the phage replication cycle nucleotide levels are measured and compared with controls. The method provides for the detection of specific bacteria in which insertion of the lux gene into the phage genome is not required yet it is faster and more sensitive than known non-modified phage utilising techniques. The method is only limited by the availability of phage types suitable for selective attack of the target bacteria to be detected and can detect a single Salmonella in a sample of milk in under 12 hours.
