Title: Method and system for mapping traffic congestion
Inventor: MINTZ JOSEF
IPC: G08G1/01
Filed: 2000-03-08
Abstract: This invention provides a system (190) and method for mapping parameters of a traffic congestion, for example, a road congestion, relative to a focus. Mapping of the road congestion may include determination of an average length of the road congestion over a time interval, motion rate in the road congestion, and arrival rate to the road congestion. The mapping system (190) may construct snapshots of mapping samples received from a small percentage of probe vehicles (230) equipped with an appropriate receiver and transmitter. The mapping samples are preferably received in response to predefined broadcast queries sent by a central station (206). The determination of the average length of a road congestion may be based on a direct approach, obviating the need to estimate discrete lengths of the road congestion.

Abstract: A transcutaneous immunization system delivers antigen to immune cells throug h the skin, and induces an immune response in an animal or human. For example,  a skin-active adjuvant (e.g., an ADP-ribosylating exotoxin) can be used to induce an antigen-specific immune response (e.g., humoral and/or cellular effectors) after transcutaneous application of a dry formulation containing antigen and adjuvant to skin of the animal or human. The dry formulation may  be a powder or a unit-dose patch. Use of adjuvant is not required if the antigen is sufficiently antigenic. Transcutaneous immunization may be induce d with or without penetration enhancement.

Patent CA-2372115-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PRETORIUS HENDRIK JOHANNES GID
IPC: E21D11/15
Filed: 2000-05-15
Abstract: In excavations, such as mines, supports are needed to prevent rock falls. Structural beams provide the main support in the excavation to prevent major rock falls. However, between the main beams, minor rock fal ls can still occur. To provide structural support between the main beams, a polymeric structural support membrane can be applied. The membrane includes a polymer that is the reaction product of monomer, an initiator, and optionally a crosslinking agent; and a self- extinguishing agent. The membrane can be applied by spraying, brushing, or rolling.
Patent CA-2372164-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOCHENDOERFER GERD G
IPC: C07K14/72
Filed: 2000-03-09
Abstract: The invention relates to chemical synthesis of extramembranous receptor domains of membrane protein receptors, and compositions and methods that employ them. The extramembranous receptor domains include the soluble ligand - binding extracellular and cytosolic domains of membrane protein receptors. T he extramembranous receptor domains of the invention are produced by ligating under chemoselective chemical ligation conditions first and second peptides of an extramembranous receptor domain of a membrane protein receptor, where the  peptides have unprotected chemoselective reactive groups capable of forming a covalent bond therein between. The ligation product is exposed to a folding buffer having a chaotropic reagent and an organic solvent that approximates the water-lipid interface of a cell membrane. Exposure to the folding buffer  is followed by isolation from the buffer of ligation product that binds to a  ligand of the membrane protein receptor. The ligand-binding portion of the ligation product produced by this method represents folded extramembranous receptor domain. The invention is exemplified by total chemical synthesis of  the N-terminal domain of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor, demonstration  of its ability to bind to peptide ligand and characterization of its disulfi de map.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-08-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'acheminement d'un paquet de données entre des serveurs connectés à un réseau à commutation par paquets. Dans ledit procédé, un premier serveur distribue de manière sûre une liste de numéros distincts à un ou plusieurs serveurs récepteurs autorisés. Dès réception d'un paquet à transférer, le premier serveur sélectionne ensuite dans la liste de numéros un numéro non utilisé, et inscrit le numéro dans le paquet avant d'acheminer ce dernier jusqu'à au moins un des serveurs récepteurs autorisés. Dès réception du paquet, un serveur récepteur autorisé vérifie que le numéro inclus dans le paquet est valable, c'est-à-dire qu'il figure dans la dernière liste de numéros et qu'il n'a jamais été utilisé dans un autre paquet. Si le numéro est valable, le serveur récepteur détermine un numéro de séquence représentatif de la position du numéro dans la dernière liste de numéros et envoie un message d'accusé réception au serveur d'origine, incluant le numéro de séquence déterminé. Le serveur d'origine contrôle le numéro de séquence pour vérifier l'authenticité du message d'accusé réception, et renvoie le paquet si l'accusé réception signale qu'il n'est pas valable.

Title: Multi-variable processes
Inventor: BROOKS ROBIN WILLIAM
IPC: G01D7/00
Filed: 2000-11-27
Abstract: Control and output-quality variables of a process plant (1) are plotted against parallel axes in a display unit (7).  Convex hulls between pairs of variables are calculated from sets of the variable-values accumulated historically in stores (7, 9) during successive runs of the process, and hulls (H; TC, BC) between successive axis-pairs are displayed. New variable-values for process optimisation are fixed for the variables taken in turn, each selection being made within displayed ranges (Rn-Rn) derived from the hulls effective between the respective variable and the variables already fixed. A display unit (13) provides on-line parallel-axis display of variable-values from the plant (1) showing alarm carets (DC, UC) where values violate limits (UL, LL) determined by the convex hulls, and allowing variation in the displayed-value for observing the resultant effect in avoiding alarm situation and towards optimisation.

Abstract: A data communication method and system for uniform arbitrary puncturing of parity bits generated by an encoder. The parity bits are stored in a buffer, and an a-bit accumulator is incremented to a predetermined initial value. For each parity bit in the buffer, the following steps are performed: the accumulator is incremented by a predetermined increment value, and if the accumulator overflows, the parity bit is selected for transmission. The predetermined initial value and the predetermined increment value are selected to achieve a desired amount of puncturing. In a further hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) communication method and system, the parity bits are generated by a low density parity check (LDPC) coder.
