IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 1999-05-17
Abstract: An optical instrument monitors PCR replication of DNA in a reaction apparatus having a temperature cycled block with vials of reaction ingredients including dye that fluoresces in presence of double-stranded DNA. A beam splitter passes an excitation beam to the vials to fluoresce the dye. An emission beam from the dye is passed by the beam splitter to a CCD detector from which a processor computes DNA concentration. A reference strip with a plurality of reference emitters emit reference beams of different intensity, from which the processor selects an optimum emitter for compensating for drift. Exposure time is automatically adjusted for keeping within optimum dynamic ranges of the CCD  and processor. A module of the beam splitter and associated optical filters is associated with selected dye, and is replaceable for different dyes.

IPC: H04J1/00
Filed: 1999-04-22
Abstract: An optimized integrated high capacity digital satellite trunking network, otherwise known as the Multipurpose Wideband Communications System (MPWCS) and method to link multiple earth stations in the same or different satellite antenna transponder footprints using uplink frequency to select the downlink footprint. The configuration of the network eliminates the need to reconfigure the transponder based on the desired downlink footprint. The invention integrates wideband receivers (111) and hybrid signal combiners (109) on the satellite along with an appropriate uplink and downlink frequency plan to provide the ability to reconfigure connectivity between uplink and downlink footprints based on uplink frequency selection. Certain configurations allow single hop connectivity between all transponder antenna footprints for all users within those footprints of the geostationary satellite. The system uses the full power and bandwidth of the constituent communications satellites for all services without dividing the power or bandwidth among multiple networks.

Title: Apparatus and method for accurately determining the location of events such as peaks in seismic data
Inventor: VAN BEMMEL PETER P
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 1999-03-19
Abstract: An operator sitting at a workstation (110) views, on a display, a multitude of seismic traces having one or more horizons indicated therein by a plurality of sets of events (such as peaks or troughs or zero crossings) (78) on the seismic traces. The operator uses a mouse (120) to draw a line from left to right across a plurality of seismic traces being displayed on the workstation display screen (110b). At this point, the line does not lie on the events (such as the peaks) (188) of the seismic traces. Therefore, the line does not yet represent a horizon (62) in an earth formation.      The operator presses a key on the keyboard of the workstation. In response to the pressing of this key, the workstation processor executes a "snapper software" (116) in accordance with the present invention. When the snapper software (116) of the present invention is executed, the line, previously drawn by the operator across the seismic traces on the workstation display screen, moves from one location, not corresponding to the events (such as the peaks) of the seismic traces, to another location, corresponding to the events (such as the peaks) of the seismic traces.      When the line moves to said another location on the screen display, the line now lies directly on a set of events (such as peaks) of the seismic traces which underlie the line. Now, the line does accurately represent a horizon in a earth formation. The snapper software of this invention can determine the peaks, the troughs, and the zero crossings of the seismic traces. As a result, the horizon depicted by the snapped line on the workstation screen display is accurately represented.

Abstract: Today more than ever, with the decrease in fossil fuel production by OPEC, higher and higher gas prices are expected keeping that in mind, along with the use of internal combustion gasoline or diesel engines there is a lot of environmental damage needed in order to create the gasoline and diesel, and utilizing them on a worldwide scale. Now is the time to look for viable energy source options, such as the five models presented herein the Environmental Efficient Energy Boat Process(EEEBP)- By utilizing solar/electric/solar-electric sources in a hybrid format with gasoline or diesel engines or in sole configurations e.g. 100% solar and 100% electric to power the boats movement, specifically the outdrive and propellor under every condition. This mufti-faceted process would be invaluable in helping the millions of boaters thoroughly enjoy their beloved boating, and at the same time helping take care of the global environment. With this process it is a win-win situation for everyone involved. By local citizens and the world-wide community being active participants in environmentally friendly products and solutions, we will be instrumental in cleaning the world for ourselves, and for the future generations.

Title: Detection of duplicate participants in a two-way modem environment
Inventor: ANDERSON STEVEN E
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: Duplicate participants (e.g., cloned subscriber units) (274) are detected in a communication network, such as a hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) cable television network or the like, by monitoring the physical layer of the network to detect transmission differences between such units. The subscriber units (14, 16, 18, 274, 276) may be cable modems that transmit upstream signals with associated identifers to a headend (10, 200), e.g., to access the Internet or for telephony. Measured characteristics of the upstream signals can include: (1) propagation time (235), (2) frequency (240), (3) power (245), and (4) spectral characteristics (250). For propagation time, the reception time of the upstream message can be compared to a headend clock (215) and also to other messages with the same modem ID. For spectral characteristics adjustment coefficients can be provided to the units to normalize the spectrum of the upstream signal to a baseline spectrum. When discrepancies are detected for an upstream signal that indicate duplicate modems are operating in the network, the account of the corresponding unit can be terminated.

Title: Articulated motor stator assembly for a pump
Inventor: RINTOUL THOMAS C
IPC: A61M60/827
Filed: 2000-01-24
Abstract: An articulating motor stator assembly for use in a pump incorporates feature s that permit recycling of the motor stator when disposing of other parts of t he pump. Such a stator assembly facilitates convenient manufacture, testing, an d installation of the pump. For convenient installation, the motor stator assembly can incorporate a multi-part, annular housing that defines a centra l conduit to receive a motor rotor assembly. The multi-part housing of the mot or stator assembly may be selectively repositioned between an open and closed configuration. In its open configuration a motor rotor assembly may be conveniently installed in the motor stator and when closed the motor stator will actuate the motor rotor assembly in order to operate a pump. The assemb ly thereby enables separate manufacture and shipment from a remote location. In  addition, the assembly can be separately tested prior to installation. After  pump use, the motor stator can be opened so as to remove the motor rotor assembly. The same motor stator assembly can then receive a new motor rotor assembly.
