Abstract: A method of launching inflatable airship apparatus (3) for subsequent ascent to high altitude for operation as an airship having a hull (4) formed from an inflated flexible gas containment envelope (5), payload (15), drive motor (6) mounted at the stern of the hull and cables (26,27), for supporting the payload (15) within the hull (4), connected to the drive motor (6) and to the hull at, or adjacent to, a nose portion of the hull. The method comprises partially inflating the gas containment envelope (5) with a lighter than air gaseous medium to cause the nose portion to rise within a vertical launch enclosure (10) to position the partially inflated gas containment envelope (5) in a launch position, and subsequently releasing the partially inflated gas containment envelope (5) from its launch position through an open top of the vertical enclosure so that the envelope ascends clear of the vertical enclosure (10) and lifts the payload means (15) and drive motor (6) by means of the cables. The invention also relates to inflatable airship apparatus (3) and to a launch station (2) for launching inflatable airship apparatus.

Abstract: A system for producing hydrogen from water, making use of a stream of water such as a gulf stream or tidal stream, includes a number of submerged modules, each having a turbine that can be driven by the stream of water. The turbine is coupled to a generator for generating electrical energy. Each module may have submerged decomposition means for decomposing water into hydrogen and oxygen using the electrical energy generated. The modules are provided with means to control the depth of the modules below water level, and furthermore with means for automatically orienting the front of the modules-viewed in the longitudinal direction of the turbines-to the direction of flow of the water or an angular position deviating therefrom.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for synchronous serial communication and a system for synchronous serial communication capable of increasing the speed of the transmission of serial data. The full mode is a mode under which the conventional synchronous serial communication is achieved. The block mode is a mode which is introduced if transmission of serial data having a specific length is required, and under which data to be transmitted are divided into plural blocks, and firstly transmitted is block information that notifies which blocks out of the entire blocks will be transmitted, and then transmitted are the data included in the blocks notified by the block information. The burst mode is a mode under which the block information which is currently transmitted is compared with the block information which was previously transmitted, and, if the two are the same, transmission of the data is introduced, while the block information being omitted. The system attaches mode information notifying the mode through which data will be transmitted, to the data to be transmitted. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An amorphous communication network having no traditional wireless backbone has plural roving or migratory access node or terminal devices that are carried or transported along with individuals. Each wireless node has a user interface and a local ID, e.g., an IP address, URL, telephone number. Voice, data, or video is transferred to other migratory nodes or to a conventional land-based telephone or data terminal via a PSTN, Internet, ATM network, etc. A geolocation detector in the node, such as a GPS, keeps track of the instantaneous position, which is conveyed to a locally or remotely stored database. A local processor accesses this database to determine node-to-node paths to a destination when said node operates as a source. A node captures a transmitted message when the destination address in the message matches its local address, or otherwise forwards the message towards a destination if the address does not match. Acknowledgements are sent between nodes upon successful receipt of information. The node's wireless transceiver also adapts to the environment and terrain to control transmission and reception characteristics according to bandwidth, inter-node spacing, signal strength, bit error rate, node population density, frequency spectrum, data rate and/or air interface protocol. Nodes may periodically or randomly unicast or broadcast its ID and/or position data to update a database, which then may be propagated to other databases throughout the network. A database may reside locally within a node or at fixed regional locations that are linked together to form a global database.

Abstract: The present invention relates to resource reservation for establishing end-to-end quality of service in a digital communication system, without resource reservation signalling over the access bearer. The solution, according to the invention is to remove the resource reservation protocol signalling on the IP level, over the access interface, e.g. the expensive and narrow radio channel, and introduce an resource reservation protocol proxy in the network. The introduction of the proxy functionality still supports the possibility, or meets the requirement, to reserve resources end to end. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Analog signals are generated in response to one or more operating parameters of a machine such as vibration and used to provide a log of the operating history of the machine. The analog signals are converted into root mean square (rms) values which are periodically sampled. The sampled signals are sorted into predefined rms value bands. Each occurrence of a signal in an rms value band is used to increment a counter in order to keep track of the number of occurrences of signals in a particular rms value band. The number of accumulated signals in each of the rms value bands provides an indication of the usage and condition of the machine.

Abstract: Interaction of Rel proteins and steroid receptors is known to result in repression of target genes. Here we describe the discovery of a new mechanism in which Rel proteins and steroid receptors act synergistically to activate a regulatory element. This mechanism is shown to influence the expression of the brain-specific 5HT1A receptor wherein the estrogen receptor acts synergistically with the Nuclear Factor kappa B to enhance the activity of the promoter for the 5HT1A receptor gene. In addition, synergistic effects of Rel proteins with the mineralocorticoid receptor were observed, showing that synergism with Rel proteins may be expected for other steroid receptors as well. The synergism between Rel proteins and estrogen receptor or mineralocorticoid receptor provides a tool for the development of compounds that interact with the estrogen or mineralocorticoid receptor in such a way that only the synergistic effect is modulated whereas other effects are left intact. Such compounds would be invaluable for the development of medicaments for the treatment of diseases of the central nervous or cardiovascular system and other disorders in which Rel proteins play a role.

Abstract: A presence registration and routing node (500) includes an advanced database communications module (ADCM) for receiving queries for presence information. The ADCM module forwards the queries to a presence application, such as a SIP, IMPP, or presence application. The presence application formulates a presence-server compatible message, forwards the presence-server-compatible message to a presence database (516), receives a response from the database, and forwards the response to the ADCM module to be sent to the requestor over an IP network. The presence database (516) may be internal or external to the presence registration and routing node (500).
