Abstract: A method of configuring a network access device having a first network address allocated to a subscriber of services of a first service provider provided by a first service network, with a new network address allocated to a subscriber of services of a second service provider provided by a second service network, wherein the network access device is connected to an access network connected to a plurality of service networks. The method comprises the steps of: sending a request from the network access device to the access network requesting a change to a second service provider; receiving a response from the access network; and initiating a network address change request using a configuration protocol. In this manner, a second network address allocated to the subscriber of services of the second service provider is assigned to the network access device to enable the network access device to communicate data packets to the service network providing the selected service. In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the subscriber is authenticated by a service activation system coupled to the access network prior to initiating the configuration protocol. Accordingly, the request to the access network includes an authentication request for the subscriber. The response received from the access network therefore includes an authentication status for the subscriber from the second service provider. If the subscriber is authenticated, the client initiates the network address change request.

Abstract: A method for reducing NOx emissions from the combustion of carbonaceous fuels using three stages of oxidation and second stage in-situ furnace flue gas recirculation. In the first stage, a partial oxidation combustor is used to partially combust the fuel in the presence of preheated combustion air. The fuel gas produced in the partial oxidation process is passed to a second stage partial oxidation combustor while molten slag is removed and disposed of. Preheated combustion air also is introduced into the second stage of combustion to produce a slightly reducing flue gas and is injected into the furnace in such a way as to create the desired in-situ furnace flue gas recirculation. In the upper part of the furnace a third combustion air is mixed with the flue gas in a third stage of combustion to substantially complete the combustion process. Preheated steam may be added to the first or second stages of combustion. The stoichiometric ratios at each stage of combustion are controlled to minimize overall NOx emissions to acceptable levels. Further, an existing excess air cyclone-fired boiler furnace may be modified to operate in a three-stage combustion mode. This is accomplished by adding a preheated air system that includes two added air injection points into the furnace, with air introduction at a cyclone barrel re-entrant throat that is located at the interface between the cyclone barrel and the furnace, followed by overfire air introduction into the upper part of the furnace.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition and a method for preparing a basic quark, originating from "sweet" buttermilk, with a pH of 6.6 or higher, obtained from the preparation of butter originating from non-acidulated cream. The sweet buttermilk is pasteurised and cooled, after which acidulation culture and coagulant is added. The mixture is ripened and heated after which the product obtained is separated into quark and whey. The basic quark has a fat content below 2 wt. %, a phospholipid content ranging from 20 to 35% in comparison with the fat content, whereby the sphingolipid content lies between 10 and 30% in comparison with the phospholipid content. The invention also relates to a further processing of the basic quark for the production of a cream sauce base and/or a cream sauce with a fat content of less than 20 wt. %, obtained by adding cream to the basic quark.

Abstract: A circuit breaker includes an interrupter coaxial with a current sensor or transformer, the combined assembly being encapsulated within solid dielectric material and supported by an earthed tube mounted on an earthed housing. Detection by the sensor of a current overload is communicated over conductors to a circuit within the housing to cause an actuator to pull a dielectric linkage in a direction so as to move an armature through a bell crank and open interrupter, thereby opening the main current path between conductors and flexible coupling. The circuit breaker requires no insulating gas or oil.

Abstract: Mesenchymal cells are unexpectedly found to express specific truncated versions of immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily members, namely T cell receptors and related proteins of the immunoglobulin superfamily, as exemplified by the upsilon heavy chain. Mesenchymal T cell receptor and Ig heavy chain gene products either directly or indirectly control hemopoetic stem cells. Antisense therapy and antibodies can be used to reduce TCR and Ig heavy chain mediated functions. Conversely, overexpression of the TCR and/or Ig heavy chain can be used to induce hemopoesis, for example in stem cell transplantation or following chemotherapy.

Abstract: The radiotherapy apparatus in the present invention includes a bed, a radiation irradiating head, head swing mechanisms, a precise inspection unit and a control unit. The bed carries a subject. The radiation irradiating head irradiates a treatment radiation to a treatment field of the subject. The head swing mechanisms, which are coupled to the radiation irradiating head, swings the head of the radiation irradiating head so that the treatment radiation emitted from the radiation irradiating head pursues the motion of the treatment field. The precise inspection unit obtains a diagnosis image containing the treatment field. The control unit controls the positions of the head swing mechanisms so that an irradiation field of the radiation irradiating head pursues the treatment field, based on the diagnosis image, the position of the radiation irradiating head and the state of the swung head. Then, the control unit controls the radiation irradiating head so that the treatment radiation is irradiated from the radiation irradiating head, after the positional control of the head swing mechanisms. <IMAGE>
