Title: Method for the asymmetric dihydroxylation of olefins, using osmium catalysts
Inventor: DOBLER CHRISTIAN
IPC: C07C29/50
Filed: 2000-04-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the asymmetric dihydroxylation of olefins, using osmium catalysts for producing monofunctional, bifunctional and/or polyfunctional chiral 1,2 diols of formula (I): R1R2C(OH)-C(OH)R3R4.  According to the inventive method, olefins are reacted with molecular oxygen in the presence of an osmium compound and a chiral amine ligand in water, or in a solvent mixture which contains water, at a pH value of between 7.5 and 13. The chiral diols are used as intermediate products for agrochemicals, cosmetics and chiral polymers. The method can be carried out simply and with a high degree of selectivity and is advantageous from an economical and ecological standpoint.
Patent CA-2371340-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VESTAL STEPHEN C
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2000-05-15
Abstract: Methods for modeling real-time periodic and aperiodic task scheduling and message passing within multitask systems. The methods utilize undelayed and single sample delayed message connections among software task objects and hardware objects. Task priorities are assigned inversely with period or deadline, so that tasks with shorter periods or deadlines have higher scheduling priorities. Periods of high-criticality tasks are decomposed into smaller pieces that are sequentially dispatched at higher rates where the initial assignment of priority is inconsistent with task criticality. The methods provide for deterministic communication among periodic processes.

Title: Distributed software development environment
Inventor: SURYANARAYANA MANJUNATH M
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to a distributed object-oriented software development environment (10). Objects for performing object operations can communicate to one another if associated interfaces are compatible. The environment provides sequential flow of control and data to the objects. Each interface of an object has a unique global identification value. Compatible interfaces are determined by registering the global identification and version of the interfaces with a management framework. The environment can be used for establishing an application network (12) and performing consistent and transparent dynamic updates of the application network. The management framework can include management objects associated with objects of the application. The management objects (42) communicate information about the objects to a human manager object (44). Accordingly, the human management object can control transactions of the objects during establishment or reconfiguration of the application network without participation by the objects. During a design stage, the management framework can also be used by the software developers for performing tetherless negotiation.

IPC: C12Q1/686
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: The apparatus comprises a disc-shaped substrate (20) defining a central reservoir (24), a plurality of coplanar electrophoretic channels (22) in flu id communication with, and emanating substantially radially from, the central reservoir (24), and each channel (22) having a proximal end (22a) which is linked to the central reservoir, and a distal end (22b), and preferably for each channel, at least one chamber, and preferably three chambers, linked by  a passageway in fluid communication with the distal end of that channel. Preferably, each passageway leads from each chamber in a direction that is initially away from the central reservoir, whereby centrifugation of the substrate about a central axis that is perpendicular to the channels is effective to disperse liquid from the central reservoir into the chambers, channels, and passageways such that any air bubbles in the chambers, channel s, and passageways are forced towards the axis of rotation, when such liquid is  present in the central reservoir.

Abstract: A process for increasing the tactile properties of a base web (38) without adversely effecting the strength of the web (38) is disclosed. In one embodiment, the process includes the steps of placing a base web (38) between a first moving conveyor (60) and a second moving conveyor (62). The conveyors are then wrapped around a shear-inducing roll (64) which creates shear forces that act upon the base web. The shear forces disrupt the web (38), increasing the softness and decreasing the stiffness of the web (38). The shear-inducing roll (64) typically has a relatively small diameter. In some applications, more than one shear-inducing roll (64) may be incorporated into the system.  Base webs (38) made according to the present invention have been found to have improved void-volume and fuzz-on-edge properties.
