Title: Process for impregnation and expansion of tobacco.
Inventor: CHO KWANG H
IPC: A24B3/18
Filed: 1992-06-16
Abstract: A process for expanding tobacco is provided which employs carbon dioxide gas. Tobacco temperature and OV content are adjusted prior to contacting the tobacco with carbon dioxide gas. A thermodynamic path is followed during impregnation which allows a controlled amount of the carbon dioxide gas to condense on the tobacco. This liquid carbon dioxide evaporates during depressurization helping to cool the tobacco bed uniformly. After impregnation, the tobacco may be expanded immediately or kept at or below its post-vent temperature in a dry atmosphere for subsequent expansion.

The pH of the electrolyte is preferably at least 0.2 units, and preferably from 0.5 units to more than 1.0 units, above the pH value at which passivity of the anode would occur. The electrolyte may be for example sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide but is preferably lithium hydroxide which also acts as an alkali-silica reaction inhibitor.
Patent ZA-953345-B (ZA)
Title: Ultrasonic therapeutic system
Inventor: YOUNG MICHAEL JOHN RADLEY
IPC: A61H23/02
Filed: 1995-04-25
Abstract: A plurality of spaced ultrasonic piezoelectric transducers (A to H), may be so fixed by means of a bandage (10) or the like to and around an afflicted area of a patient as to enable their sequential or interlaced excitation, whereby the afflicted area of the patient can be excited from different aspects, so that ultrasonic energy is not permitted to enter the body from any single point on a continuous-wave basis. Each transducer (A to H) delivers its ultrasonic energy via a body of material (14) having a wave impedance that substantially matches the wave impedance of human soft tissue, thereby avoiding or minimising the annoyance of a mismatched entry into the patient's body. The net result is for the patient to derive the therapeutic benefits of a moving applicator, without any physical displacement of one with respect to any other of the plural spaced transducers. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus and method for minimizing the turn on time for a receiver operating in a discontinuous receive mode
Inventor: CONNELL LAWRENCE EDWIN
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1995-07-18
Granted: 1996-09-25
Abstract: In a communication unit a receiver (104) receives a modulated signal (118), and produces a received signal (120) having a parameter. The receiver (104) has a discontinuous receive mode of operation, wherein the receiver (104) is permitted to be turned on and off. Receiver circuitry (105) receives the received signal (120), and produces an output signal (124) having a parameter. A controller (110) adjusts a value of the parameter of the output signal (124), responsive to a value of the parameter of the received signal (120), during the times when the receiver (140) is turned on; and holds the value of the parameter of the output signal (124), responsive to the value of the parameter of the received signal (120), at the time when the receiver (104) is turned off. The present invention advantageously minimizes the turn on time for the receiver (104) operating in a discontinuous receive mode to save current drain.

Title: Validation of procedures
Inventor: JELLEMA BART
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1996-07-19
Granted: 2001-02-14
Abstract: A method of validating a procedure in a network protocol allows several processes to be involved in the validation of a single event. The method involves defining relationships between finite state machines (FSMs)which describe the entities, selecting the processes which fulfil certain predetermined criteria, and processing the event independently in all of the selected processes. Thus in the Intelligent Network Application Protocol (INAP) required for support of capability set 1 (CS1), with Single Association Control Function (SACF) and Multiple Association Control Function (MACF) rules defining the valid procedures, the rules can be specified by multiple FSMs. Characteristics defining the selection criteria for the processes are "Container Interface", "Container context" and "container Actions."
Patent GB-2312124-B (GB)
Title: Processing image data
Inventor: SEVIGNY BENOIT
IPC: H04N5/262
Filed: 1997-03-21
Granted: 1998-05-13
Abstract: Image data is processed by identifying a region of substantially constant colour within a first image. Colour variations, in terms of standard deviation about an average colour, are analysed and a similar level of variation is applied to a second image. The first image may be derived from cinematographic film, with colour variations due to film grain. The second image may be a video image or a computer generated image and the application of a similar level of variation may reproduce noise similar to that present within the film due to grain. In this way, it is possible to add grain to non-filmed images so as to match said images to images derived from film.

Title: Mattress cover
Inventor: PILE BRIAN FRANK
IPC: A61G7/057
Filed: 1997-09-05
Granted: 2000-07-19
Abstract: A mattress cover, for use on an air inflatable mattress which reduces the risk of bed sores in long term patients. The cover has a top sheet (31) and side sheets (5) attached to opposite edges of the top sheet. The length of the top sheet (3), in a laid-flat state, is greater than the length of the side sheets (5) attached to the top sheet. This allows the cover to closely follow the undulating nature of the inflatable cells of the mattress, and zero pressure may be achieved. The cover may also comprise end sheets (25), an outer skirt (9), and a base portion (7). The present invention also provides a method of making cover, which comprises the step of stretching the side portions, while the top sheet is in a substantially unstretched condition, and then joining the side sheets in their stretched condition to the top sheet. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and dedicated frame buffers for receiving frames
Inventor: WESTBY JUDY LYNN
IPC: G06F3/00
Filed: 1998-11-17
Granted: 2002-12-31
Abstract: A fiber-channel loop interface circuit that includes a dedicated transmit-frame buffer for loop initialization and responses ("responses" are non-data frames sent in response to commands or inquiries from other nodes). Having a dedicated transmit-frame buffer allows one port of a dual-port node to be transmitting initialization or response frames while another port is transmitting data frames, response frames, or initialization frames. Either or both ports can also be simultaneously receiving frames. The system includes a channel node having dual ports, each supporting a fiber-channel arbitrated-loop serial communications channel, and dedicated frame buffers within the channel node for loop initialization and responses. In some embodiments, the dedicated frame buffers are configured as on-chip buffers and include: two inbound non-data buffers coupled to the two ports, a data-frame buffer coupled to both ports, and an outbound transmit-frame buffer coupled to at least one of the ports. In addition, a method for loop initialization and responses using the dedicated buffer is described.
