Title: Device and process for processing organic waste
Inventor: MANU ALEXANDER
IPC: C05F9/00
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: Organic matter is converted into a composition or outcome after it is deemed to be waste but before it is finally disposed of or used, for example as compost. One outcome is a solid of substantially fixed shape made of the pieces of organic matter, optionally bound together with a binder. The outco me is dry enough to substantially reduce microbial growth and related odors. Th e outcome is more convenient to handle and less offensive than raw organic was te and so encourages users to divert organic waste from other garbage and to participate in composting or other programs. The outcome can also be kept in the home or garage for extended periods of time without creating intolerable odors and so the user may take garbage to the curb less often than once a week. Processes for making outcomes involve reducing raw organic waste to pieces, drying the raw organic waste and, optionally mixing the pieces with a binder or water, forming the mixture into a shape and drying the formed mixture into a solid. Apparatuses for performing the processes may include a portable receiving module that interacts with a processing module. The outcomes decompose when exposed to the weather and may be used privately, fo r example as compost, or exchanged for consideration to an organization.</SDOA B>

Title: Process for converting programs in high-level programming languages to a unified executable for hybrid computing platforms
Inventor: STEIDEL JON
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2003-09-30
Abstract: A system and method for compiling computer code written to conform to a high - level language standard to generate a unified executable containing the hardware logic for a reconfigurable processor, the instructions for a traditional processor (instruction processor), and the associated support co de for managing execution on a hybrid hardware platform. Explicit knowledge of writing hardware-level design code is not required since the problem can be represented in a high-level language syntax. A top-level driver invokes a standard-conforming compiler that provides syntactic and a semantic analysis . The driver invokes a compilation phase that translates the CFG representatio n being generated into a hybrid controlflow-dataflow graph representation representing optimized pipelines logic which may be processed into a hardwar e description representation. The driver invokes a hardware description langua ge (HDL) compiler to produce a netlist file that can be used to start the place - and-route compilation needed to produce a bitstream for the reconfigurable computer. The programming environment then provides support for taking the output from the compilation driver and combining all the necessary component s together to produce a unified executable capable of running on both the instruction processor and reconfigurable processor.

Filed: 2004-06-18
Abstract: In one embodiment, a service node will recognize an attempt to initiate a call from a first terminal to a second terminal, and automatically provide information to media clients associated with the first and second terminals such that a media session can be readily established between the media clients in association with the call. The service node may be configured to interact with telephony switches that support the first or second terminals, directly or indirectly via a signaling adaptor. In a second embodiment, the service node will recognize an attempt to initiate a call and will route the call to a gateway, which is controllable by the service node. Once the call is sent to the gateway, the service node may provide instructions to the gateway for routing or otherwise processing the call.

Filed: 2003-07-01
Abstract: Two derivatives of nootkatone, tetrahydronootkatone and 1, 1 0-dihydronootkatone, are surprisingly effective as repellents of termites and mosquitos. Tetrahydronootkatone and 1,10~dihydronootkatone were shown to effectively repel termit s at concentrations as low as 2 ~g/ml and 12.5 ~g/ml, respectively. Tetrahydronootkatone was shown to repel mosquitos at a concentration of 5%. Tetrahydronootkatone is an effectiv repellent of termites either by itself or as an addition to other substrates, including mulches i ade from wood products or other cellulose-containing material, Tetrahydronootkatone or 1, 0-dihydronootkatone can be used to protect construction wood from attack by Formosan subte anean termites, either alone or used in combination with other compounds known to repel termites. It is also believed that these compounds will prove effective in repelling ants, ticks, and cockroaches. These derivatives. of nootkatone are non-toxic to humans and other mammals and environmentally safe.
