Abstract: A method and apparatus for verifying connectivity between network nodes in a communications network. For each node periodic time intervals are provided. Elapsed periodic time intervals are counted since transmission of a link integrity indication frame, the link integrity indication frame being a frame which, when transmitted by a network node, can be received by all other nodes on the communications network and which contains a source identifier, such as a source address, that uniquely identifies a transmitting node. Frames are received from a sending node and a node state status and a current received frame source address are maintained during each periodic time interval. Upon the expiration of a predetermined elapsed time interval the node state status and a count of the elapsed periodic time intervals since transmission of a link integrity indication frame are determined. A link integrity indication frame is transmitted based upon determining the count of predetermined elapsed time intervals as being greater than a predefined count limit and the node state status as not being indicative of network traffic.

Abstract: A solar powered apparatus comprises a battery (10), a load (7) connected to the battery, and a solar cell (12) to recharge the battery, whereby the solar cell gives a signal output dependent on the light level sensed. A circuit (20) responsive to the signal output of the solar cell nominates a time for switching the load based on the amount of time that the signal output has been generated. In this way the switching of the load may be seasonally adjusted to accommodate changing daylight hours. The invention is particularly suited for use in solar powered beacons for use with traffic cones.

Abstract: An improved method for the manufacturing of wavy pre-preg material that moves a first group of rollers in a transverse and a longitudinal direction with respect to a second group of rollers, to place a sinuous waveform in a fiber reinforced matrix for the manufacture of a wavy pre-preg material. The fabrication of wavy fiber pre-preg (fibers pre-impregnated with epoxy resin as an example) can be accomplished with an automated control system that permits the creation of non-periodic or mixed waveforms. The improved apparatus for this process allows for a more accurate placement of fibers, production of a wider variety of usable waveforms, and increased quality of pre-preg produced.

Abstract: Methods for detecting G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activity; methods for assaying GPCR activity; and methods for screening for GPCR ligands, G-protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) activity, and compounds that interact with components of the GPCR regulatory process are described. Included are methods for expanding ICAST technologies for assaying GPCR activity with applications for ligand fishing, and agonist or antagonist screening. These methods include: engineering seronine/threonine phosphorylation sites into known or orphan GPCR open reading frames in order to increase the affinity of arrestin for the activated form of the GPCR or to increase the reside time of arrestin on the activated GPCR; engineering mutant arrestin proteins that bind to activated GPCRs in the absence of G-protein coupled receptor kinases which may be limiting; and engineering mutant super arrestin proteins that have an increased affinity for activated GPCRs with or without phosphorylation. These methods are intended to increase the robustness of the GPCR/ICAST technology in situations in which G-protein coupled receptor kinases are absent or limiting, or in which the GPCR is not efficiently down-regulated or is rapidly resensitized (thus having a labile interaction with arrestin). Included are also more specific methods for using ICAST complementary enzyme fragments to monitor GPCR homo- and hetero-dimerization with applications for drug lead discovery and ligand and function discovery for orphan GPCRs.

Abstract: Liquid spraying equipment, for example for paint, adhesives and chemicals, comprises a spray gun (30) having a luid outlet (53) to which liquid is pumped from a container, the outlet being adjaceent a pressurized air or other fluid outlet (34) to entrain the liquid and thereby atomize it. The liquid pump is housed in a separate unit of which a removable liquid container can be sealingly coupled. The unit also contains a pump to deliver pressurized air to a chamber with a hose ocnnection to the spray gun and with a tapping to the liquid container so as to pressurize the liquid and assist the liquid pump to deliver it to the spray gun through a pipe, possibly within the pressurized air hose. The flow of liquid through the outlet is regulated by a pin (38) or the like slidably mounted in a bore (35). A trigger mechanism (36) retracts the pin from the outlet against the force of a restoring spring (40). An adjustable limit stop (49) determines the degree of opening of the liquid outlet. The system is particularly suitable for for viscous material, such as emulsion paints, which cannot readily be drawn into a conventional spray gun.
