Title: Composition, comprising a starch-based binder and an inorganic aggregate, for forming articles with cellular structural matrix
Inventor: ANDERSEN PER JUST
IPC: C04B28/02
Filed: 1995-07-13
Abstract: Compositions, methods, and systems for manufacturing articles, particularlycontainers and packaging materials, having a particle packed, highly inorganically filled, cellular matrix are disclosed. Suitable inorganically filled mixtures are prepared by mixing together a starch-based binder, a solvent, inorganic aggregates, and optimal admixtures, e.g., fibers, mold-releasing agents, rheology-modifying agents, plasticizers, coating materials, and dispersants, in the correct proportions to form an article which has the desired performance criteria. The inorganically filled mixtures have a predetermined viscosity and are heated between molds at an elevated temperature and pressure to produce form-stable articles having a desired shape and a selectively controlled cellular, structural matrix. The molded articles may be placed in a high humidity chamber to obtain the necessary flexibility for their intended use.

Title: Method of operating a communication network comprising a plurality of stations each able to transmit and receive data
Inventor: LARSEN MARK SIEVERT
IPC: H04W40/12
Filed: 1998-06-05
Abstract: This method is for operating a communication network comprising numerous stations, each of which can transmit and receive data in order to transmit messages from originating stations to destination stations opportunistically via intermediate stations.  Each station selects one of a number of possible calling channels to transmit probe signals to other stations.  The probe signals contain data identifying the station in question and include details of its connectivity to other stations.  Other stations receiving the probe signals respond directly or indirectly, thereby indicating both to the probing station and other stations their availability as destination or intermediate stations.  The probing station evaluates the direct or indirect responses to identify other stations with which it can communicate optimally.  The stations can monitor the cumulative power required to reach another station, thereby defining a power gradient to the other stations, with stations selecting a route through the network that optimizes the power gradient. Thus, data throughput through the network is maximized with minimum interference and contention between stations.
