Title: Assaying and imaging system identifying traits of biological specimens
Inventor: BOTAS JUAN
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-07-14
Abstract: A method of system is provided for assaying specimens. In connection with such system or method, plural multi-pixel target images of a field of view are obtained at different corresponding points in time over a given sample period.  A background image is obtained using a plural set of the plural target images.  For a range of points in time, the background image is removed from the target images to produce corresponding background-removed target images. Analysis is performed using at least a portion of the corresponding background-removed target images to identify visible features of the specimens. A holding structure is provided to hold a set of discrete specimen containers. A  positioning mechanism is provided to position a plural subset of the containers to place the moving specimens within the plural subset of the containers within a field of view of the camera.

Title: System and method for removing harmful biological and organic substances from an enclosure
Inventor: HEDMAN DAVID E
IPC: A61L9/16
Filed: 2002-12-18
Abstract: A system and method for removing harmful biological and organic substances from an enclosure, vehicle or container includes protecting heat-sensitive articles within the enclosure. A plurality of temperature probes are positioned at predetermined locations within the enclosure. The air within the structure is heated to a predetermined temperature up to 400 ~F to kill organisms and cause harmful substances in the enclosure to migrate into the ambient air. A negative pressure is created in the enclosure and the heated air carrying the harmful substances passed through a filter and is then vented from the enclosure and passed through a filter to remove the harmful substances from the heater air. The system effectively kills molds, viruses and bacteria and reduces the levels of allergens and volatile organic compounds in the enclosure.

Abstract: A method and system for the UE and RNC to reduce transmission latency and potentially prevent loss of PDUs upon a MAC layer reset. UE generation of the status PDU is coupled with the MAC layer reset. The RNC generates a message with a MAC reset indication (16). Following the MAC layer reset all PDUs stored in the UE MAC layer reordering buffers (22) are flushed to RLC entities (24) and then processed by RLC entities prior to the generation of a PDU  status report (26). The PDU status report provides to the RNC the status of all successfully received PDUs. Upon reception of a PDU status report in the RNC (28), missing PDUs are realized and retransmitted to the UE (30).

Inventor: ANDREWS MALCOLM J
IPC: C08J3/22
Filed: 1997-03-25
Abstract: Elastomeric compositions are produced by novel continuous flow methods and apparatus in which fluid streams of particulate filler and elastomer latex are fed to the mixing zone of a coagulum reactor to form a mixture flowing continuously from the mixing zone through a coagulum zone to a discharge end of the reactor. The particulate filler fluid is fed under high pressure to the mixing zone, such as to form a jet stream to entrain elastomer latex fluid sufficiently energetically to substantially completely coagulate the elastomer with the particulate filler prior to the discharge end. Semi-confined flow of the mixture in the coagulum zone is achieved preferably with progressively increasing cross-sectional dimension of the coagulum zone from the mixing zone to the discharge end. Highly efficient and effective elastomer coagulation can be achieved without the need for a coagulation step involving exposure to acid or salt solution or the like. In addition to elastomeric compositions comparable to those achievable using traditional acid or salt coagulation techniques, novel elastomeric compositions can be prepared employing previously unworkable fillers, such as carbon black of exceptionally high surface area and low structure, etc., and/or having heretofore unachievable performance properties, filler dispersion levels, elastomer molecular weight distribution or a combination of any of these.

Title: Backpack with security feature
Inventor: MILES RICHARD
IPC: A45F/
Filed: 2004-08-19
Abstract: Backpacks, book bags and day packs have advantages over conventional luggage in that the user's hands are free from carrying the backpack since the backpack is carried on the back of the user. However, this places the backpack out of line of sight from the user, and thus subjects the user to pickpocket or other thieves accessing goods carried in the backpack. The inventive backpack disclosed herein limits access to the packing compartment of the backpack (2) by continuing the zipper tracks (20, 56) for those compartments (12, 50) and terminating them on the back face (6) of the backpack which is normally contacting the upper back of the user. These zipper tracks terminate in a pouch (22) secured by a releasable closure, such as a hook and loop fastener (29). This pouch is primarily defined by a flap (28) which is covered by or constructed of the same padded textile material that covers the back face of the backpack to provide comfort to the user. Thus, the backpack is not easily opened by sneak thieves.

Abstract: The inventions published consist of 'split-level step' between bat handle and contact section.     This said step provides the newly inventions here the concept of critical holding points (called as C.H.P.)for the thumb, forefinger and any of other three fingers. These fingers can grip firmly onto the said step. This allows better swing of the bat, angle control, flexibility of bat manipulation and power. These C.H.P. also provides the proper gripping areas so that finger deformation problem is less likely to happen.     In addition, it is less strainuous physically for the wrist and fingers, so the better power and performance of the players can be maintained longer naturally throughout the games.     Besides, the invented C.H.P.concept can also be achieved (although it is less ideal compared to the 'split level Step') without adopting the 'split-level step' by having'raised-height-block'or raised step or 'prolonged bottom handle'in front and/or at the back of the bat (see Y & Z in drawing C,D,E,F &G) so as to act as the C.H.P. as found in the split-leveled step.(see X in drawing B,D &G ) (Note: to use drawing D for article publication purpose)
