Title: CDMA subtractive demodulation
Inventor: DENT PAUL W
IPC: H04W88/00
Filed: 1992-07-31
Granted: 1995-05-11
Abstract: Subtractive CDMA demodulation optimally decodes a coded information signal embedded in many other overlapping signals making up a received, composite signal. A radio receiver (25) correlates a unique code corresponding to the desired signal to be decoded with the composite signal. Moreover, after each information signal is successfully decoded (processor 40), it is recoded and removed from the composite signal. Subtractive CDMA demodulation is enhanced by decoding the composite signal in the order of strongest to weakest signal strength (signal strength processor 29). The individual information signals are spread using block error correction codes which are correlated with the composite signal using Fast Walsh transforms (correlator 30). Correlated signals identified as the largest transform component are removed from the composite signal and the remaining composite signal is reformulated using an inverted Fast Walsh transform. Any residual error or interference caused during the extraction of a transform component is removed by recorrelating the composite signal using the index of that transform component.

Title: Methods and compositions for transforming cells
Inventor: LEBOULCH PHILIPPE
IPC: C12N15/64
Filed: 1997-06-06
Granted: 2001-05-03
Abstract: Methods and compositions for transforming cells, resulting in efficient and stable site-specific integration of transgenes, are disclosed. Transformation is achieved by introducing into a cell an acceptor vector, preferably a retroviral vector, which integrates into the genome of the cell. The acceptor vector comprises two incompatible lox sequences, L1 and L2. A donor vector is then introduced into the cell comprising a transgene flanked by the same L1 and L2 sequences. Stable gene transfer is initiated by contacting the lox L1 and L2 sequences with Cre recombinase.

Title: Automatic setup of services for computer system users
Inventor: LI JIM Y
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 1997-06-18
Granted: 2000-08-31
Abstract: Various services within a computer system are automatically set up as users are added to the system through a directory service. A user template is selected that already contains default settings for each of the services available on a system such as e-mail and a web service. Various user templates exist and contain different default settings for each available service depending upon the user. Default settings from each service are copied onto a new user form. Next, default settings from the selected user template are copied to the new user form and override any conflicting default settings from the services. The default settings from the new user form are used to automatically set up and enable each service for the new user. The data from the new user form is copied into a central account database that contains rows of user information, with columns corresponding to a particular service. Each user is automatically enabled for use with available services including an e-mail account and a generated web page. When an individual user then logs on to the computer system, the services available have already been set up for that individual user. If the user has any special privileges such as being an administrator, a webmaster, or a postmaster then that user may begin performing that role.

Title: Regulation of ink feed controls in an offset printing machine
Inventor: OTT HANS
IPC: B41F33/00
Filed: 1984-11-02
Granted: 1988-10-27
Abstract: Printed products and their respective corresponding printing plates are divided into a plurality of image elements. For each image element the surface coverage is determined by photoelectric measurements; a reference reflectance value is then calculated from these measurements, taking into consideration such parameters as the printing characteristic. These reference reflectance values are compared with the actual reflectance values measured on the printed products and the results of the comparison are evaluated to form a quality measure and to calculate control values for the ink feed devices of the printing machine. In this manner, the use of special color measuring strips may be eliminated.

N-vinyl-imidazole or other ethylenically unsaturated nitrogen-containing and/or oxygen-containing graftable monomers and a graftable polyolefin are reacted with enough of an initiator to graft the monomer to the polyolefin. The initiator and/or graftable monomer is added to the other ingredients, maintained at the reaction temperature, over a period of time. The reaction temperature is maintained at a level high enough to give acceptable reaction times. The N-vinylimidazole and the initiator each can be added at a uniform, relatively slow rate during the reaction.

Title: Location method and panel pressing apparatus
Inventor: BROWN GORDON CLIFFORD
IPC: B21D1/06
Filed: 1993-10-26
Granted: 1996-05-02
Abstract: The invention concerns a method of locating and repairing dents in motor vehicle panels (10). The initial step in the method is to locate the dent in the panel (10). This is done by positioning a magnet (20, 40) and a metal ball (18) on or adjacent to opposite surfaces of the panel (10) so that the magnet (20, 40) and ball (18) attract one another through the panel (10). The relevant one of the magnet or ball is moved to the location of the dent on one side of the panel with the result that the other of the magnet or ball moves to the dent on the other side of the panel. The magnet (40) is typically carried by a mechanical pressing tool (Figure 2) which can then be used to lever out the dent by working the metal around the dent. <IMAGE>
