Title: Dynamically adapting the transmission rate of packets in real-time voip communications to the available bandwidth
Inventor: AWAIS ALI
IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 2005-03-11
Abstract: A system and method for dynamically adapting the transmission rate of packets in real-time voice over IP communications to the available bandwidth. A real-time bandwidth monitor (RTBM) for VoIP applications senses the call path bandwidth between two endpoints of a VoIP communication and adapts in real-time the packet transmission rate to utilize that bandwidth. If sufficient bandwidth is available, the RTBM selects a low compression, low latency CODEC  to offer best possible voice quality to the user. If the bandwidth is constrained, the RTBM degrades gracefully by switching to a high compression CODEC. On further bandwidth reduction, the RTBM increases the media frames per packet. Because the bandwidth reduction may be transitory, the RTBM constantly monitors the end-to-end available bandwidth so as to invoke the CODEC/frame per packet combination that provides the best quality of service (QoS) achievable over the current end-to-end available bandwidth.

Title: Methods and systems for utilizing delayed dilution, mixing and filtering to provide customized varieties of fresh-brewed coffee on-demand
Inventor: GUTWEIN ROGER WILLIAM
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: An improved system for providing an individually customized fresh brewed coffee beverage on demand by a customer, in a wide range of variety and strength. Said brewing system for making relatively large quantities of fresh brewed coffee beverages (in particular, customized as to desired variety, body, character and/or strengths), as chosen by multiple individual consumers just prior to their consumption. Said system is easy to use by the consumer or other individual (e.g., restaurant wait staff) obtaining the customized beverage. Further, maintenance of the equipment requires only a small amount of personal attention by the owner/operator of the equipment. A general object of the present invention is to utilize "delayed dilution" of a concentrated extract to provide a beverage brewing system which immediately (upon customer selection) provides selective dilution (based on individual consumer's selections) of a fresh-brewed coffee extract after the extract has been allowed to brew and held as an extract before dilution. It is also a general object of the present invention to utilize the undiluted extract to mix and dissolve other beverage compounds to make flavored coffees, cappuccinos, lattes, and the like. "Delayed mixing" and/or "delayed filtering" may also be utilized.

Patent CA-2582581-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STRITTMATTER STEPHEN M
IPC: C07K7/00
Filed: 2005-10-03
Abstract: Nogo, MAG, and OMgp are myelin-derived proteins that bind to a neuronal Nogo-66 Receptor (NgR) to limit axonal regeneration after CNS injury. Nogo-A  protein may play the most prominent role in vivo, perhaps because its action is mediated both by NgR and by other receptors. Here, we extend our previous analysis of Nogo-A and NgR functional domains. In addition to a NgR-dependent Nogo-66 inhibitory domain and a NgR-independent Amino-Nogo-A specific domain, we identify a third Nogo-A specific domain that binds to NgR with nanomolar affinity. This third domain of 19 amino acids (aa) does not alter cell spreading or axonal outgrowth. Ala-scanning mutagenesis of surface residues in NgR partially distinguishes ligand binding sites for the two Nogo domains and for MAG, OMgp and Lingo-1. Fusion of the two NgR-binding Nogo-A domains creates a ligand with ten-fold enhanced affinity for NgR and converts a NgR  antagonist peptide to an agonist. Thus, inhibition of axonal regeneration by NgR occurs after binding a subnanomolar bipartite Nogo-A ligand at a site partly overlapping with that for MAG and OMgp.
