Filed: 2007-03-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of medicine, particularly to the development of a pharmaceutical composition containing the NMB0606 protein. The composition of the present invention confers protection against different diseases that may or may not be caused by pathogens. The NMB0606 protein was identified as a component of Neisseria meningitidis outer membrane vesicle (OMV) preparations and was obtained using recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology and its immunogenicity and protective activity was evaluated in animal models. Owing to the high degree of conservation of the gene coding for the NMB0606 protein, the composition comprising it is of great value as an antigen that induces a widely reactive immune response. The composition of this invention is applicable to human medicine.

Title: Voiding calls to signal supplementary services
Inventor: KAHN ARI
IPC: H04Q3/32
Filed: 2007-06-07
Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for signaling asynchronous supplementary services in a telephony network. The method comprises initiating a call between a sender and a recipient on a telephony network including generating a telephony request and disconnecting the call prior to completion of a connection. Concomitantly, an asynchronous communication is initiated between the sender and the recipient using information in the telephony request. The call may be disconnected prior to allocation of a traffic channel or prior to generating a ring at a device of the recipient. In one embodiment the call is disconnected after receipt of the telephony request by an originating mobile switching center but before continuing set-up of the call. Calls aborted in this way can be used to initiate messaging or other services without utilising voice circuits in a network.

Title: Transmittal of heartbeat signal at a lower level than heartbeat request
Inventor: PROCTOR JAMES A JR
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2002-06-13
Abstract: A communication system, such as a wireless CDMA system, detects markers with fewer errors by having field units (55) transmit the markers at different power levels (e.g., 9 dB for one marker and 11 dB for another marker). The difference in power levels of the markers allows the base station (110) to identify the request markers using alternative criteria with a low probability of error, where the alternative criteria may include comparing the markers to respective energy level thresholds, monitoring occupancy of time slots, occupancy of mutually exclusive code channels, or combinations thereof. For example, in one particular embodiment, a request marker, which is generally a high priority marker, is transmitted with higher power, which improves the probability of detection and reduces the probability of false detection of the request marker.
