Title: Directory assistance with multi-modal messaging
Inventor: PORTMAN ERIC A
IPC: H04W4/00
Filed: 2004-12-20
Granted: 2011-07-19
Abstract: An information assistance application is for use in a wireless communication environment. A requestor terminal is operable to generate a request for an information record associated with a subscriber terminal. The request is transmitted from the requestor terminal to an information assistance application server. The information assistance application server processes the request to determine the identity of the person for whom information has been requested and to determine how to contact the subscriber terminal. A  message is generated and sent to the subscriber terminal requesting permission to provide the requestor terminal with the requested information. If the subscriber terminal replies with an indication that the information may be provided, then the information application server generates a message that includes the information being requested and transmits it to the requestor terminal.

Abstract: Disclosed is an encapsulated particle which includes a core particle. The core particle includes a fertilizer selected from the group of nitrogen, phosphate, potash, and sulfur, and combinations thereof. The core particle may also include herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. The encapsulated particle also includes a polyurethane layer disposed about the core particle. The polyurethane layer includes the reaction product of an aromatic isocyanate component and a polyol that is reactive with the aromatic isocyanate component. The aromatic isocyanate component includes methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, and mixtures thereof. The polyol that is reactive with the aromatic isocyanate component is derived from an aromatic amine-based initiator and includes a toluene diamine. The aromaticity of the aromatic isocyanate component and the polyol serves to insure complete miscibility between the aromatic isocyanate and the polyol thereby forming the polyurethane layer without defects preventing water from permeating the polyurethane layer and dissolving the core particle.

Abstract: A process control system simulation technique performs real-time simulation of an actual process control network as that network is running within a process plant in a manner that is synchronized with the operation of the actual process control network. This real-time, synchronized simulation system includes a simulation process control network and a process model which are automatically updated periodically during the operation of the actual process control network to reflect changes made to the process control network, as well as to account for changes in the plant itself i.e., changes which require an updated process model. The disclosed simulation system provides for more readily accessible and usable simulation activities, as the process control network and the process models used within the simulation system are synchronized with and up-to-date with respect to the current process operating conditions. Moreover, this simulation system is more accurate as it uses process models developed from the current state of the process whenever the simulation system beings to perform a simulation. Still further, the disclosed simulation system is easy to operate, as it uses the same user interface applications as the actual process control network and can be initialized and used at any time during operation the process plant without any significant configuration or set-up activities.

Title: Utilisation de tocotrienols de vitamine e pour l'inhibition de chlamydia pathogene obligee de maniere intracellulaire
Inventor: TAN BARRIE
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 2006-04-24
Granted: 2015-06-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne l'utilisation bénéfique de tocotriénols de vitamine E dans l'inhibition de chlamydioses. Des niveaux de chlamydioses dans des macrophages de souris traités au tocotriénol sont abaissés à plus de 50 %, avec le développement d'agents pathogènes aberrants concomitants. Le nombre d'inclusions grandes et petites dans des cellules témoins et des cellules traitées au tocotriénol a diminué, respectivement, de 2 et 3 fois. Lorsqu'elles sont traitées avec du tocotriénol delta, les chlamydiae dans des lymphocytes humains ont été inhibées à un taux d'au moins 2,6 fois en un jour et demi. Cette invention a aussi pour objet une chlamydiose inhibée par du tocotriénol delta alimentaire et une persistance chez des patients hypercholestérolémiques avec une baisse associée de la LDL. Ces études montrent que le tocotriénol diminue le taux de cholestérol, prévient ou réduit le piégeage du cholestérol par un obligatoire des chlamydiae sur le plan de son infectiosité et de sa réplication. Ainsi, des agents hypolipidémiques utilisés pour traiter des maladies cardio-vasculaires, un syndrome métabolique, et des diabètes sont utilisés en tant que monothérapies ou en combinaison avec le tocotriénol pour traiter les chlamydiae.
