Title: Blockade of T lymphocyte down-regulation associated with CTLA-4 signaling
Inventor: ALLISON JAMES PATRICK
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 1996-12-04
Granted: 2001-03-08
Abstract: T Cell activation in response to antigen is increased by the administration of binding agents that block CTLA-4 signaling. When CTLA-4 signaling is thus blocked, the T cell response to antigen is released from inhibition. Such an enhanced response is useful for the treatment of tumors, chronic viral infections, and as an adjuvant during immunization.

Title: Expert system with process control
Inventor: SKEIRIK RICHARD D
IPC: G05B11/36
Filed: 1988-09-30
Granted: 1992-01-09
Abstract: An expert system wherein the rules are of three classes: 1) retrieval rules (210), which each associate one of several attributes to an object in accordance with the values of inputs; 2) analysis rules (220), which selectively associate an attribute with an object, and which are somewhat analogous to the natural-language inference rules which would be used in communications between domain experts; and 3) action rules (230), which selectively carry out the output and control actuation options, based on the attributes associated with objects by the other rules. This system permits certain rules to be revised at any time without requiring the specialized skills of a "knowledge engineer". The expert system can be used in conjunction with an integrated system for process control (150), which itself can exist as a separate, discrete entity. This integrated system for process control contains a process supervisor procedure (130) (which is preferably the top-level procedure) which can define parameters for one or more controller systems (or control procedures). The supervisor procedure can also be configured as a modular software structure with modules which can be revised by a user at any time, without significantly interrupting the operation of the process supervisor. Users can define or redefine modules by editing highly constrained templates (115, 812).

Title: Prioritization between handoff and new call requests in a cellular communications system
Inventor: BODIN ROLAND
IPC: H04W36/08
Filed: 1992-12-08
Granted: 1995-04-13
Abstract: A method and system for ensuring that handoff requests take priority over new cell requests to engage voice channels assigned to a particular target cell are provided. A certain number of channels are reserved for handoff requests. However, if no channels, reserved or unreserved, are available, handoff requests to a particular target cell are stored in a corresponding queue for a predetermined period of time. Thus, when voice channels become available, they are seized in order to satisfy the handoff requests stored in that queue. If the handoff queue is empty, new call requests to a target cell may be assigned to available voice channels.

Patent AU-713958-B2 (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for minimizing chroma subcarrier instability caused by a video line scrambling system
Inventor: QUAN RONALD
IPC: H04N7/169
Filed: 1997-06-17
Granted: 1999-12-16
Abstract: In certain video scrambling systems, composite video is imperfectly separated into luminance and chrominance and scrambled in such a way that an unstable residual chroma color subcarrier remains in the luminance channel. When this unstable residual subcarrier subsequently is summed with stabilized chroma, the resultant composite color signal has small but visible amounts of color subcarrier instability that causes a noisy color signal when descrambled or when displayed on a television display device. A coring circuit is disclosed which provides means for substantially removing the unstable residual chroma subcarrier from the luminance channel, thereby substantially reducing color subcarrier instabilities. An improved coring technique also is disclosed using adaptive chroma coring, which is achieved by adjusting the amount of coring applied in accordance with the amplitude of the chrominance signal. Thus, if the program video input has high levels of color saturation, the chroma coring is electronically turned up. Conversely, if the input video program is essentially in black and white (no color content), then the coring circuit essentially is electronically turned off. The coring techniques also are applicable to enhance the luminance-chrominance separation of video comb filters frequently used in video circuits such as, for example, television sets and video recorders.

Title: A method of packaging a beverage
Inventor: BYRNE WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: B67C3/02
Filed: 1989-05-04
Granted: 1992-06-25
Abstract: A method of packaging a beverage having gas in solution therewith in which an open topped container (1) is charged with the beverage through the open top. The container is purged of air and pressurised with a gas selected from carbon dioxide, nitrogen or other inert gas and a partition wall (5) having a restricted orifice (9) is located over the beverage and sealed to the container (1) to form a primary chamber (10) within which the beverage is contained. A closure wall (3) is located over the partition wall (5) and sealed thereto and to the container (1) to form with the partition wall a secondary chamber (11). The primary and secondary chambers (10, 11) communicate with each other through a restricted orifice (9) in the partition wall (5). The assembly is now inverted so that beverage from the primary chamber (10) enters the secondary chamber (11) and a primary headspace (10a) is formed in the primary chamber (10) and a secondary headspace (11a) is formed in the secondary chamber (11). Both said headspaces (10a, 11a) are at a pressure greater than atmospheric so that upon opening the container to expose the primary chamber (10) to atmosphere, beverage and/or gas in the secondary chamber (11) is ejected into the beverage in the primary chamber (10) to develop or assist in the development of a head or froth on the beverage. The pressurisation of the container with the selected gas is preferably to be by dosing with the gas in liquid form before the closure wall is fitted and sealed to the container and either before or after the partition wall has been fitted to the container.

Title: Multicast communication tree creation and control method and apparatus
Inventor: AUERBACH JOSHUA SETH
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 1993-05-06
Granted: 1995-07-13
Abstract: In a multicast network communication system, administration of the communication path making up the multicast tree itself has been separated from control and administration of the network. Creation of a multicast distribution tree and control over the membership thereof, is separately controlled independently from the creation and use of the tree transmission path used to communicate among the members of a multicast set. Transmission distribution trees are set up when a transmission request is received and the properties of the transmission path that is required are known. Transmission paths are created and controlled by all nodes in the communications system, each node having necessary control code and processors for responding to requests from set members to transmit a message to groups of users by creating and activating the necessary tree communication path distribution linkages. A distribution tree is created by the Tree Leader by generating a tree address using a random number generator. A tree address correlator is generated utilizing network and node identifiers unique for the network, and a list of subnodes or users connected for each member of the multicast tree set is generated. Using this information, a tree distribution path is computed to cover all of the subnodes required and a tree set up request message is sent by the Tree Leader along a computed path to each involved subnode. Each subnode returns a message indicating whether the tree address is already in use or is available for use. Successfully negotiated tree addresses are marked at the path link initiation and termination points at each node through the network. <IMAGE>
