Patent EP-1093060-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SASIDHAR JONNALAGADDA
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2000-10-05
Abstract: A business application SQL interface and process for mapping at
least one SQL statement to at least one business transaction incorporated
within business application software. The SQL interface and process both
have a mechanism for inheriting meta information associated with the
business transaction including the transaction name. The SQL interface and
process both further have a mechanism for inputting tables and columns
referring to the desired business transaction(s) incorporated within business
application software. The SQL interface and process both generate
mapping rules associating the inputted tables and columns with the business
transactions. Finally, an external application inputs a desired SQL statement
that refers to the business application software, and the inputted SQL
statement, upon execution, invokes execution of the necessary business
transactions to retrieve, alter, modify, update, etc. the desired data or other
information managed by the business application software.

Abstract: A system and method for transmitting data in a data communications network, using
a transmission control protocol, to provide reduced acknowledgment control traffic, error recovery
and congestion control. A communications link is established between a transmitter and a receiver.
Setting the communications link includes setting a network congestion window to an initial length.
A sequence, or stream, of data packets is sent from the transmitter to the receiver. The receiver
detects any missing packers, by examining the sequence numbers of the incoming packets, and sends
negative acknowledgments, generally no more than four, to the transmitter identifying the missing
data packet. When the transmitter receives a negative acknowledgment, it decreases the length of
the congestion window, and re-transmits the missing packet. Detection and use of round-trip time,
re-transmission time-out are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for and method of introducing a substance into an object, particularly into a cell or cellular material. In a preferred arrangement apparatus receives the cell and preferably locates it between first and second electrodes and applies a voltage pulse to cause a disruption in the cell wall. This causes the cell to become permeable. The substance may then be introduced, for example under a fluid pressure. Cells may then be inspected and sorted into transfected and non-transfected types. This may be achieved automatically, for example by using electrophoresis.

Abstract: Electronic display devices (100) and methods are described. In one
embodiment, an electronic display device comprises a housing (102) and a
display area (104) within the housing to display content for a user. Memory
(310, 312) is provided within the housing to hold data that is to be rendered
into user-viewable content. An electrophotographic assembly (200) is provided
within the housing and is configured to electrophotographically render user-viewable
content from the data that is held in the memory. A loop of material
(202) is disposed proximate the electrophotographic assembly (200) and is
configured to receive electrophotographically rendered content and present the
content for user viewing within the display area. The electrophotographic
assembly (200) can use black toner and the loop of material (202) is selected to
provide a black/white contrast when used in connection with the black toner.
In one embodiment, the electrophotographic assembly (200) can render content
at at least 300 dots per inch (dpi) and better. Printing is effectuated by
advancing or moving the loop of material (202) through the
electrophotographic assembly (200) and electrophotographically forming an
image on the loop of material. Such can be accomplished by electrostatically
attracting toner onto the loop of material sufficient to provide a viewable
image. Advantageously, the toner can be held in place on the loop of material
using only electrostatic forces thereby obviating the need to permanently fuse
the toner to the material. After the image is displayed for the user, the toner
can be reclaimed off of the loop of material for reuse in providing additional
images.

damage to the actual sealing surface of the valve seat by shifting it away from such line-contact
seating. Preferably, the ball-poppet is movable within a poppet guide (62,72,262,272) that is allowed to float

valve seat. In addition, cross-over leakage is preferably negated by closing an exhaust ball-poppet
just prior to opening a supply ball-poppet. These principles and features are equally
