Title: Clarifier cover
Inventor: MACLEAN BRIAN R
IPC: B01D21/02
Filed: 2002-04-12
Granted: 2008-02-12
Abstract: In the present invention, there is provided a removable cover for retaining off-gases inside a clarifier. The cover comprises trusses extending across the clarifier and a flexible sheet laid across the trusses. Structural angles enclose the clarifier and constitute a kick plate on the walkways around the clarifier for improving the safety of workers. One side of the flexible sheet is permanently affixed to a first wall of the clarifier. A series of pullers are mounted inside the structural angles for pulling and releasably sealing the three other sides of the flexible sheet against the outmost trusses and against a second wall of the clarifier opposite the first wall. Each puller has a cable-deflector bar extending substantially at a same level as a mounting surface of the puller for increasing an angle of downward pull on the flexible sheet. The flexible sheet is rolled-up along the trusses to expose machinery inside the clarifier. 25

Title: Techniques for managing multiple hierarchies of data from a single interface
Inventor: MURTHY RAVI
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2003-11-06
Granted: 2010-05-04
Abstract: Techniques for managing multiple hierarchies of data from a single native hierarchy include registering a set of routines for each foreign hierarchy.  The set of routines performs a set of operations on data in the hierarchy associated with a node. A user request is received, which indicates a particular operation on particular data that does not correspond to a node of the native hierarchy. Based on the user request, a first operation on a first set of one or more nodes of a first hierarchy that is not the native hierarchy is determined. A particular routine that corresponds to the first operation is selected from a first set of routines registered for the first hierarchy, and is invoked. These techniques allow a user to employ a consistent interface with the native hierarchy to reach data in any of the hierarchies.

Granted: 2011-11-08
Abstract: A method of using a substantially non-porous equine collagen foil to repair and regenerate dura mater tissue of mammals when the dura mater tissue is damaged as a result of injury, tumors, surgery, and the like. The non-porous equine collagen foil comprises collagen fibrils which provides a replacement dura mater composition that is elastic, liquid-tight, and which has a high tensile strength. The non-porous equine collagen foil is furthermore resorbable and provides a biomatrix, wherein a neodura is rapidly formed which becomes indistinguishable from the autologous dura mater in a matter of weeks. The process for making the equine collagen foil reduces the likelihood of disease transmission.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating at least one electrically contactable area on a polymer which is doped with a conductive substance, wherein a contact material (10, 11) is applied onto the polymer, said contact material (10, 11) having a lower specific resistance at 23~C than the polymer. According to the invention the contact material (10, 11) is applied onto the polymer so tightly that close contact between the contact material (10, 11) and the conductive substance is achieved. Due to the tight application of the contact material (10, 11), which has a lower specific resistance than the polymer, the input resistance of the doped polymer is effectively reduced. The invention further concerns a formed body (1, 2) made of a polymer which is doped with a conductive substance, which has at least one contactable area, within which a contact material (10, 11) is applied onto the polymer, wherein said contact material (10, 11) has a lower specific resistance at 23~C than the polymer. According to the invention the contact material (10, 11) is applied onto the polymer so tightly that it is in close contact with the conductive substance. Such formed body (1, 2) has a significantly reduced input resistance.

IPC: H04L69/14

Abstract: This document describes Toll Free IP (TIP), a business model and its enabling methods to provide no-charge-to-user ("toll-free") connectivity through IP-based access networks (e.g., public wireless hotspot networks based on IEEE 802.11), which may be operated by different network operators. With TIP, the use of networks to communicate with a toll-free IP destination will be paid by the owner of the toll-free IP destination. A toll~free IP destination can be identified in many ways, e.g., by a toll-free IP address, toll-free Internet Domain Name, a toll-free Universal Resource Identifier or Universal Resource Locator. TIP enables a user to use networks without prior service subscriptions with network or service providers and without any special terminal software or hardware for gaining permission to use a network. It allows users to use more access networks, i.e.; larger "footprints", than any individual network operator or aggregator can provide. With TIP, a service provider can provide services over IP-based access networks without the need to have business arrangements with each individual network operator or aggregator. TIP can also be used to enable other value-added services such as Prepaid IP, Collect IP, Selective Charging, and a single prepaid account across access networks of multiple operators or aggregators and even across wireless LANs (e.g., public hotspots and enterprise wireless LANs) and cellular networks.

Granted: 2011-05-03
Abstract: For quasi-orthogonal multiplexing in an OFDMA system, multiple (M) sets of traffic channels are defined for each base station. The traffic channels in each set are orthogonal to one another and may be pseudo-random with respect to the traffic channels in each of the other sets. The minimum number of sets of traffic channels (L) is used to support a given number of (U) terminals selected for data transmission, where and . Each terminal transmits data and pilot symbols on its traffic channel. A base station receives data transmissions from all terminals and may perform receiver spatial processing on received symbols with spatial filter matrices to obtain detected data symbols. The spatial filter matrix for each subband may be derived based on channel response estimates for all terminals transmitting on that subband.
