Title: A method for storing information in DNA
Inventor: BHARADWAJ LALIT M
IPC: G16B30/00
Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: DNA is a natural molecular level storage device. Molecular storage devices use each molecule or part of it for storing a character. Thus it is possible to store information million of times than presently used storage devices. For example a JPEG image (i.e. flag of India) having file size of 1981 Bytes can be encrypted using 7924 DNA bases which occupies about 2694.16 nanometers. In other words flag of India can be encrypted 8.07x105 times in human genome which comprises 6.4x109 DNA bases and occupy a tiny volume of about 0.02 m3. A method for storing information in DNA has been developed which includes software and a set of schemes to encrypt, store and decrypt information in terms of DNA bases. The main advantages of the present method over exiting art is that it addresses complete set of extended ASCII characters set and thereby, encryption of all kind of digital information (text, image, audio etc). First of all, information is encrypted along with carefully designed sequences known as header and tail primers at both the ends of actual encrypted information. This encrypted sequence is then synthesized and mixed up with the enormous complex denatured DNA strands of genomic DNA of human or other organism.

Title: Remote release actuating system for tumbling vehicle seat
Inventor: KEYSER MARK R
IPC: B60N2/30
Filed: 2005-10-25
Abstract: A remote release actuating system 10 for a seat assembly 12 in a vehicle. The system includes a seatback 14 that is movable through an arcuate range. The seatback 14 is moveable between a design position (tilted upward and rearwardly in which it may support a passenger), and a full fold flat position. Seatback latches 24 secure the seatback 14 in the effective position. A seat cushion 32 supports the seatback 14. The seat cushion 32 has a rearward portion that cooperates with the seatback 14. The rearward portion also releasably engages floor latches 26. The seat cushion 32 has a forward portion that is pivotally attached to the vehicle floor. The seat cushion 32 and seatback 14 tumble forwardly when (a) the seat cushion 32 is disengaged from the floor latches 26; (b) the seatback 14 lies in the full forward flat position; and (c) the floor latches 26 are disengaged. In operative communication with the seatback 14 and floor latches 26, there is provided a release system for releasing these latches 26 that is located remotely from the seatback 14 and the seat cushion 32. The invention also includes a method for remotely actuating the release system for the seat assembly.

Title: A monolithic multiplexer for high frequency signals
Inventor: HARDING STEPHEN
IPC: H03K17/16
Filed: 2005-11-01
Abstract: A monolithic multiplexer for GHz band signals comprises a set of switchable amplifier circuits 7a-7d each comprising two individually switchable amplifiers feeding output stages 9a and 9b. The signal output by stage 9a is selected from one of the four input signals 2a-2d in dependence on two control signals supplied concurrently on input pin 4a. The control signals may comprise a DC signal and a 22 kHz AC signal and are detected by 10a which feeds two binary signals to decoder 11. The signal output by 9b is similarly selected in dependence on the control signals input on line 4b. Only one routing input 4 is required per output channel 3. PCB design is simplified. The input and output channels are arranged symmetrically about a diagonal axis (figure 3) so that a compact 4 by 4 multiplexer may be created by mounting two ICs on opposite sides of a PCB. Input-output isolation is high.

Title: Frame storage using a frame type indicator
Inventor: OTIENO DAVID AREN OYAMO
IPC: H04M1/64
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: Frames in a communication system are constructed in accordance with a communications protocol. After reception, a field of the frame is used to indicate frame type. This allows concatenated storage without the need for data indicating data length. The field (41) used was previously used for another purpose, e.g. a pitch delay parity bit fluid (20a). The method allows the identification of normal frames (20) and e.g. silence insertion descriptor (SID) frames (40) in speech data transmission. The shorter SID frames can then be padded (42,43) to the same length as normal frames, enabling storage using the same comparison format, e.g. G.729. Applications include answering machines, voice mailboxes etc.

Title: Synchronising user profiles across multiple communication terminals for multiple users
Inventor: ERHART GEORGE WILLIAM
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 2006-05-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed that enable the synchronization of user profile information for M users who are sharing K telecommunications terminals, wherein M and K are not necessarily equal to each other. The disclosed technique addresses the problem that occurs when multiple users share multiple terminals, in which a user that selects a particular terminal to use has to contend with the contact lists, user preferences, and call log entries that are left over from the previous user or users of the selected terminal. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the user profile information is associated with and stored for each user in a group of users, in contrast to being associated with and stored for the telecommunications terminal. The user profile information comprises (i) contact information, (ii) call or message activity, and (iii) user terminal preferences.

Title: Writing implement with slidable captive cap.
Inventor: BAKER MARK
IPC: B43K5/17
Filed: 2007-02-02
Abstract: A writing implement such as a ballpoint pen 10 includes a nib covering cap 40 with clip 42. The cap 40 covers the nib 20 as shown, but is also retractable (figure 6) along the body 30 of the pen to expose the nib 20 through an aperture 44 in the cap. Sliding of the cap on the body in the direction of retraction is limited by abutment of an inner surface 21 of the cap 40 with an area 22 of the body adjacent the nib. The cap 40 is held captively on the pen by means of a ramped protrusion 48 which can slide in a closed slot 24. This prevents the cap from being removed from the body 30. During assembly the cap can be forced over the tapered portion 22 so that the ramped element 48 falls resiliently into slot 24.

Title: A method and circuit for compressing data using a bitmap to identify the location of data values
Inventor: MOLONY DAVID
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 2007-03-15
Abstract: The application discloses a method for compressing a data structure (primarily a matrix). The data structure is analysed and a bitmap representing the locations of non-trivial (i.e. non-zero) data values is created. This map is used to identify the location of the trivial (i.e. zero) data values which are deleted from the data structure. Thus, the data structure has been compressed because it no longer stores trivial values. The decompression routine is similar. An unpopulated data structure the size and shape of the bitmap is created and populated with the data from the compressed structure. The bitmap is used to identify the value of each cell of the uncompressed data structure. A zero in the bitmap indicates that the cell is empty (i.e. has a trivial vale) whereas a 1 indicates that a value must be extracted from the compressed data structure. Further embodiments relate to a circuit and processor that can carry out the (de)compression routine specified above. Also, in another embodiment the trivial values can be 1, -1 and 0.
