Abstract: The process of olive mill waste water phytodepuration, according to the invention, combines
a metabolic activity of microorganisms with the stimulation of rhizospheric flora exercised
from the root exudates of some plants. The process of phytodepuration can be executed by
means of a purification plant consisting of absorbing tanks and arboreous plants. This system
allows the draining of olive mill waste water at lower costs than those required from
traditional technologies, offers an easier plant design and management and, besides, thanks to
trees and generic vegetables production, the possibility of an economic return.

IPC: G03F1/26
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for milling selected regions on the surface of a multilayer-film reflective surface of an X-ray mirror with high accuracy and precision. The milling operation is performed to correct the reflected wavefront produced by the mirror, thereby producing a more uniform or otherwise more desirable phase distribution of the reflected wavefront. The milled multilayer films include multiple lamina sets each comprising respective layers of at least two respective substances. The layers usually are "stacked" in an alternating manner at a fixed period length on a mirror substrate. By selectively removing one or more surficial layers in selected locations, the methods and apparatus disclosed herein provide local corrections of the phase shift of the reflective wavefront. At each milling location on the multilayer-film surface, the depth profile can be stepwise or smoothly gradated. Milling methods can include lapping, ion-beam bombardment, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor machining (CVM), reactive-ion etching, photochemical reactions, or laser ablation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to recombinant human
interleukin-3 (hIL-3) variant or mutant proteins
(muteins). These hIL-3 muteins contain one or more amino
acid substitutions and may also have amino acid deletions
at both the N- and C- termini. The invention also
relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing the
hIL-3 muteins and methods for using them. Additionally,
the present invention relates to recombinant expression
vectors comprising nucleotide sequences encoding the hIL-3
muteins, related microbial expression systems, and
processes for making the hIL-3 muteins using the
microbial expression systems. 
     Included in the present invention are deletion
mutants of hIL-3 in which from 1 to 14 amino acids have
been deleted from the N-terminus, and from 1 to 15 amino
acids (corresponding to residues 119 to 133) have been
deleted from the C-terminus, and which also contain one
to three amino acid substitutions in the polypeptide.
These hIL-3 mutant polypeptides may have biological
activities similar to or better than hIL-3 and, in some
cases, may also have an improved side effect profile.

Abstract: A system for controlling the distribution and use of digital works (101) using digital
tickets. In the present invention, a "digital ticket" is used to entitle the ticket holder to exercise
some usage right (102) with respect to a digital work. Usage rights are used to define how a
digital work may be used or distributed. Each usage right may specify a digital ticket which
must be present before the right may be exercised. Digital works are stored in repositories
which enforce digital works usage rights (105) when usage of a digital work is requested by a
requesting repository (103,104). Each repository has a "generic ticket agent" which punches
tickets. In some instances only the generic ticket agent is necessary. In other instances,'
punching by a "special ticket agent" residing on another repository may be needed.

Inventor: GRAVES JOHN E
IPC: C23C18/20
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: A heterocyclic nitrogen and glycol containing solvent swell composition and
method of using the composition. The solvent swell compositions may contain high flash
point solvents and water. The solvent swell composition is used to condition resinous
material for etching to form a porous textured surface on the resinous material. The
porous texture permits the deposition of a metal on the resinous material such that a high
integrity bond is formed between the textured resinous material and the deposited metal.
Such a bond between the metal and the resinous material prevents de-lamination of the
metal and resin bond. The heterocyclic nitrogen and glycol solvent swell composition
also desmears resin material from substrates. The heterocyclic and glycol solvent swell
compositions may be employed to treat resinous material used in the manufacture of
printed wiring boards. Metal may be deposited on the textured resinous material by
suitable plating methods.

Abstract: Mechanisms that provide the user of a wireless device with a seemingly on-line experience with a network service such as e-mail or instant messaging even though the wireless device is not continuously connected through a carrier network to a server computing system that facilitates the network service. This is accomplished by quickly communicating information required to maintain the on-line experience whether mobile-terminated or mobile-originated. If a data connection is currently established, then the information may be communicated over that data connection. However, if a data connection is not established, the information (or a portion thereof) may be communicated using a transfer mechanism such as SMS that does not require a connection to the carrier network.
