Abstract: In order to provide unbalanced ringing when an exchange line card provides a balanced ringing output the interface provides a ringing detector in circuit with a customer pair. On detecting balanced ringing signals from the line card, the interface takes over the customer line pair and provides unbalanced ringing signals to the customer and monitors for customer answer. By inserting the interface in circuit at the main distribution frame of an exchange, legacy customer premises equipment which is unable to respond to balanced signalling can be provided with an appropriate ringing signal without the necessity to provide differing line cards at the exchange.

Inventor: KIM SEOK-KOO
IPC: H01M50/431
Filed: 2006-12-06
Abstract: Disclosed is an organic/inorganic composite separator including: a porous substrate having pores; and a porous active layer containing a mixture of inorganic particles and a binder polymer with which at least one surface of the porous substrate is coated. The organic/inorganic composite separator of the present invention may be useful to enhance peeling and scratch resistances and improve a lamination characteristic by introducing a porous active layer onto a porous substrate having pores, the porous active layer having heterogeneity of morphology toward a thickness direction in which a content ratio of the binder polymer/inorganic particles present in a surface layer is higher than that of the binder polymer/inorganic particles present inside the surface layer. Accordingly, the stability and performances of a battery can be improved together since the detachment of inorganic particles from the porous active layer may be reduced during the assembly process of the electrochemical device.

Abstract: A mixer apparatus (60), such as an integrated circuit (IC) mixer, is provided for improving the physical layout of devices containing mixers. The mixer includes a multiplier (62) with an input port (64), an output port (66), a first switchable local oscillator input port (68) and a second switchable local oscillator input port (72). The dual switchable local oscillator ports are located on either side of the mixer, between the input side and the output side. The dual switchable local oscillator ports allow the mixer to provide more flexibility in integrated circuit and printed circuit board design layouts involving mixer apparatus. For example, in dual channel devices, a local oscillator can be coupled to a pair of the mixers using transmission lines that do not have to be routed around the integrated circuit, to a different level of the printed circuit board or underneath one of the mixers.

Abstract: An SQL procedure deployment system deploys a query procedure comprising a procedural logic component and a database request component from a source system to a target system. At generation of the query procedure, the system generates a query procedure source code, a symbol table, and an encapsulated optimization results to regenerate run-time instructions for query statements of the database request component and make the query statements function with a deployed procedural logic component. The system maintains an association between the procedural logic component and the database request component during deployment. The system copies an internal representation of the procedural logic component to the target system without regeneration. The system regenerates the database request component to recreate the query procedure on the target system and to maintain a consistent interface between the procedural logic component and database request component.

Title: Lead isotope tracer method to determine bone mineral turnover
Inventor: MANTON WILLIAM I
IPC: G01N33/84
Filed: 2009-03-17
Abstract: A method of determining bone mineral turnover in bone of a subject involves determining isotopic ratio of one lead isotope (preferably 206Pb) to other lead isotopes in a biological material (e.g. blood or urine) of a subject taking dietary calcium, comparing the isotopic ratio determined to a control isotopic ratio to determine a change in lead isotopic ratio, and correlating the change in lead isotopic ratio to a change in bone mineral turnover in bone of the subject. The control is a ratio of the one lead isotope to other lead isotopes in the biological material of the subject before the subject took the dietary calcium. The method is especially useful for companies developing products or by regulatory bodies for evaluating health or other types of claims made by makers of various products or neutraceuticals, relating to calcium status or preventing/stemming loss of calcium from bone.

Filed: 2007-06-26
Abstract: In order to process a subband signal of a plurality of real subband signals which are a representation of a real discrete-time signal generated by an analysis filter bank, a weighter (10) for weighting a subband signal by a weighting factor determined for the subband signal is provided to obtain a weighted subband signal (11). In addition, a correction term is calculated by a correction term determiner (12), the correction term determiner being implemented to calculate the correction term using at least one other subband signal and using another weighting factor provided for the other subband signal, the two weighting factors differing. The correction term is then combined with the weighted subband signal to obtain a corrected subband signal, resulting in reduced aliasing, even if subband signals are weighted to a different extent.

Title: A fire-resistant fluid composition comprising a poly(alkylene glycol) and a sterically hindered ester
Inventor: SHERMAN JOHN N
IPC: C10M111/04
Filed: 2007-12-03
Abstract: A fluid composition includes a poly(alkylene glycol) present in an amount of greater than 85 parts by weight based on the total weight of the fluid composition, and a sterically hindered ester present in an amount of from 0.5 up to 15 parts by weight based on the total weight of the fluid composition. The sterically hindered ester, present in the amount of from 0.5 up to 15 parts by weight based on the total weight of the fluid composition, provides the fluid compositions with excellent fire resistance, without adversely affecting other physical properties of the fluid compositions such as hydrolytic stability. More specifically, the sterically hindered ester has a higher fire point (Fp) than the poly(alkylene glycol), which typically sufficiently lowers the S.F.P. of the fluid composition to allow the fluid composition to rate as a Factory Mutual Approved Fluid.
