Title: Methods for growing and imprinting fish using an odorant
Inventor: HARRIS JR H WILLIAM
IPC: A23K1/18
Filed: 2002-10-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of imprinting fish in freshwater with at least one odorant for the fish and causing the imprinted fish to react to the odorant in seawater, wherein the fish are maintained in freshwater prior to transfer to seawater, The method includes: adding at least one Polyvalent Cation Sensing Receptor (PVCR) modulator to the freshwater in an amount sufficient to modulate expression and/or sensitivity of at least one PVCR, the PVCR modulator being one which alters olfactory sensing of the fish to the odorant; adding feed for fish consumption to the freshwater, the feed containing the odorant and an amount of NaCl sufficient to contribute to a significantly increased level of the PVCR modulator in serum of the fish upon consumption of the feed, whereby the fish are imprinted with the odorant; transferring the imprinted fish to seawater; and providing a source of said odorant in the seawater to which the imprinted fish are transferred, thereby causing the imprinted fish to react to said odorant. The present invention also includes methods of homing or attracting fish, as well as methods for repelling fish by modulating the expression and/or sensitivity of the PVCR in the olfactory apparatus of the fish.

Patent AU-2003289188-A1 (AU)
Title: Laser processing device
Inventor: FUKUYO FUMITSUGU
IPC: B23K26/046
Filed: 2003-12-04
Abstract: A laser processing apparatus which can suppress the positional fluctuation in light-converging point of laser light during laser processing is provided. On an optical path of laser light L1 connecting a beam expander 34 and a first light-transmitting hole 32 of a lens holder 29 to each other in a laser processing apparatus 20, a stop member 38 including a second light-transmitting hole 39 having the same diameter as that of the first light-transmitting hole 32 is disposed. Hence, the amount of laser light L1 cut by the surrounding part of the first light-transmitting hole 32 can substantially be eliminated, whereby the lens holder 29 can be prevented from being heated upon irradiation with the laser light L1. Also, even when the stop member 38 is heated by the laser light L1 cut by the surrounding part of the second light-transmitting hole 39, heat is prevented from being transmitted from the stop member 38 to the lens holder 29, since the stop member 38 is separated from the lens holder 29. Therefore, the positional fluctuation in light-converging point P1 of the laser light L1 during laser processing can be suppressed to a low level. <IMAGE>

IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2003-12-04
Abstract: A system and method for analyzing network traffic between a client system and multiple mirror systems, to determine the most efficient data transfer paths for accessing the mirrored data. Accordingly, a set of network probes are passed between network point pairs. After doing so, the resulting figures are analyzed using a first-order linear equation to determine which pairs are "closest" in terms of data transfer efficiency in a specific direction. Using the closeness results, the optimal data paths for large data transfer are determined.
