Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery that biological and non-biological materials can be sterilized, decontaminated, or disinfected by repeatedly cycling between relatively high and low pressures. Pressure cycling can be carried out at low, ambient, or elevated temperatures (e.g., from about -40 °C to about 95 °C, or intermediate ranges). New methods based on this discovery can have applications in, for example, the preparation of vaccines, the sterilization of blood plasma or serum, plant, animal, and human tissue, sputum, urine, feces, water, and ascites, the decontamination of military devices, food and beverage production, and the disinfection of medical equipment. The new methods can also be incorporated into production processes or research procedures.

Abstract: The status of communications by a specific metallic cable set among a number
of metallic cables and that are arranged close to each other in a transmission
line(1) is inspected. An inspection signal is supplied to flow in one metallic
cable(2), an interference signal flowing in other metallic cable(3) is measured in
response to the flow of this inspection signal, and based on the relationship
between the inspection signal and the interference signal, it is judged whether
or not the status of communications by the specific metallic cable set is fine. A
measuring device(21) measures components other than a descending carrier to
be received by a transmitter-receiver(22) from a repeater(10), and includes
information on the components in an ascending carrier. The repeater(10)
extracts the information on the components from the ascending carrier received
from the one transmitter-receiver(22), and based on the extracted information,
makes the frequency characteristics of the one metallic cable(22) different from
that of other metallic cable(23) so that the components are reduced.

Patent EP-1424801-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ANIM-APPIAH KOFI D
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2003-11-26
Abstract: A communication system (100) disclosed herein includes a channel quality
estimation module (134) that determines the channel quality metric utilizing the
preamble portion of the packet only. Data, in such a communication system (100), is
transmitted in the form of a packet over a data channel during a packet transmission,
wherein each data channel includes several sub-channels. The system includes a
receiver (108) having at least one antenna (106), a radio frequency (RF) processor
(109), and a baseband processor (116). The RF processor (109) converts the antenna
signal into a plurality of baseband sample signals. The baseband processor (116),
having several functions, couples to receive each baseband sample signal. Specifically,
the baseband processor (116) measures the power of the RF signal and derives a
variable gain control setting that is inversely proportional to the power of the RF signal.
The baseband processor (116) sends the variable gain control setting to the RF
processor when the baseband processor is processing the preamble of the packet to
maintain a baseband signal of constant energy. Furthermore, the baseband processor
(116) calculates the gain estimation of the each sub-channel and calculates the noise-plus-interference
power for each sub-channel. Moreover, the baseband processor
(116) generates a channel quality metric that is equivalent to the normalized geometric
mean of the squared magnitudes of the gain estimation, divided by the total noise-plus-interference
power.

Abstract: An apparatus and method to generate and restore an RTP (Real-Time Transmission
Protocol) packet. A setting unit assigns a CTS (Composition TimeStamp), a DTS
(Decoding TimeStamp), and a PSN (Packet Sequence Number) that sequentially
increase according to a packet generation order for each of a plurality of SL
(Synchronization Layer) packets, extracting a time stamp length and a packet
sequence number length from an SLCD (SL Configuration Descriptor) within each
SL packet. A packet generating unit generates a header of the SL packet
accommodated in an RTP packet header and the RTP packet based on the CTS, the
DTS, the PSN, the time stamp length and the packet sequence number length. 
     Since only difference values in the CTS, the DTS, and the PSN information between
a previous SL packet and the present SL packet, are recorded, a number of bits can
be reduced if the CTS value rolls over and a multiple SL packet can be made for the
SL packet having a time stamp length greater than 32 bits. Also, a condition that a
DTS delta value should always be a positive number is met.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic message management system (EMS) that includes a real-time feedback loop where data is collected from the electronic messages on incoming connection attempts, outgoing delivery attempts, and message content analysis, and written to a centralized data matrix. A separate process accesses the data matrix and analyzes trends in that data. The detected data patterns, trends or behavior is based on configuration parameters for the recipient. Based on these determinations, the process is able to instruct components in the EMS to accept, redirect, refuse, modify, defer, or otherwise dispose of the connection request, the delivery attempt, or the message. Associated methods for managing the transmission of electronic messages are also disclosed.
