Title: Methods for making pluralities of air diffusers from a single blank
Inventor: MCINTOSH LARRY W
IPC: F24F13/06
Filed: 2004-03-04
Abstract: Methods are provided for forming a plurality of air diffusers from a single fiberglass and foil blank (30). At an automated pre-forming station (14) upstream of a molding station (16), a blank has pressed therein two air diffuser patterns (50) at a middle portion (42), two patterns at a first catercorner portion (40) and two patterns at a second catercorner portion (44) and the pressing of each set of two patterns occurs substantially simultaneously to prevent the foil from delaminating from the fiberglass.  Thereafter, the blank is fed to a molding station that applies a significantly larger pressing force and heats the blank to form six air diffusers. Perforations are cut in the blank to facilitate separation of the air diffusers in a trimming station (18) downstream of the molding station: Preferred pressing of air diffuser patterns occurs with pneumatic actuated male, and female air diffuser pattern molds that are sequentially operated in accordance with a desired pattern.

Title: System and method for emulating mobile networks and related device
Inventor: BARBERIS SERGIO
IPC: H04W24/00
Filed: 2002-09-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and related device for emulating the behaviour of mobile networks independently from the manners of collecting data about the behaviour of the network, be they obtained through a simulation of field measurements. The system emulates the behaviour of the network during the exchange of information between terminals and uses an emulation device (12) comprising two circuit blocks (20, 30) able, respectively, the first to process the information according to time sequences corresponding to those of mobile networks, the second one to exchange information between the terminals connected to suitable interfaces (35, 36). Thanks to the architecture described above it is possible to emulate uplink and downlink functions of the mobile network, making perceptible on the terminals the effects of the behaviour of the network in the various operating conditions.

Title: Genetic analysis for stratification of cancer risk
Inventor: JUPE ELDON
IPC: C12Q1/6886
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: The present invention provides new methods for the assessment of cancer risk in the general population. These methods utilize particular alleles of two or more genes, in combination, to identify individuals with increased or decreased risk of cancer. Exemplified is risk assessment for breast cancer in women. In addition, personal history measures such as age and race are used to further refine the analysis. Using such methods, it is possible to reallocate healthcare costs in cancer screening to patient subpopulations at increased cancer risk. It also permits identification of candidates for cancer prophylactic treatment.
