Title: Mixture of primary fatty acids obtained from sugar cane wax
Inventor: MAS FERREIRO ROSA MARIA
IPC: A61K9/48
Filed: 1998-04-01
Abstract: A new natural mixture of primary fatty acids of high molecular weight ranging from 24 to 38 carbon atoms, especially those ranging between 26 and 36 carbon atoms and more especially those of straight chain of 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36 carbon atoms. This mixture has a relative composition of each fatty acid that is highly reproducible batch to batch and it is extracted from sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum, L.) wax. This mixture of fatty acids has specific pharmacological properties that supports its use as an active component of pharmaceutical formulations used as hypocholesterolemic and against hypercholesterolaemia type II, as antiplatelet, anti-thrombotic and anti-ischemic. This mixture of primary fatty acids is also effective in the inhibition of the development of gastric ulcers induced by different agents.
Patent CA-2286049-A1 (CA)
Title: Optical modulator
Inventor: KASHYAP RAMAN
IPC: G02F1/035
Filed: 1998-04-06
Abstract: An optical modulator comprises a bi-moded fibre (2) for supporting first and second different optical transmission modes, coupled between input and output single mode fibres (1, 3). The two modes in the bi-moded fibre (2) interfere and the intensity of the radiation that passes to the single mode output fibre (3) is a function of the relative phases of the first and second modes. The bi-moded fibre (2) is electrically poled and is provided with modulating electrodes (19, 20).  When a modulating voltage from a modulating source (V) is applied to the electrodes, the refractive index of the waveguide for the first transmission mode is altered relative to the refractive index of the waveguide for the second mode such as to change the phase difference between the modes at the entrance to the output fibre (3) so as to control the intensity of optical radiation that passes through the output fibre (3).

Title: Abr flow control using single bit congestion indication and wavelet transform filtering
Inventor: AWEYA JAMES
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-11-03
Abstract: A flow control system and methodology controls and avoids congestion in an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network. The congestion state of a network switch is determined based on incoming Available Bit Rate (ABR) traffic, Constant Bit Rate (CBR) traffic, and Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffic. High-frequency fluctuations due to VBR traffic are filtered out of the CBR/VBR traffic to determine the underlying trend of network traffic. A filtering mechanism is based on wavelet transforms. The switch congestion state is determined based on the current ABR traffic, the filtered CBR/VBR traffic, and the current status of buffers in the switch. The congestion state can then be used to adjust the ABR rate according to a feedback scheme such as Explicit Forward Congestion Indication (EFCI).
