IPC: G01R11/00
Filed: 1987-12-07
Abstract: A prepayment utility metering method and apparatus which uses encoded mag-stripe cards to transfer purchase information from the utility billing office to the customer's premises. The mag-stripe cards are read at the customer's premises by a microprocessor-controlled utility metering and control device which meters the utilities according to the amount purchased at the utility billing office. The value information encoded on the mag-stripe cards is comprised of the amount of the purchase coded in terms of number of shaft revolutions of the metering disk, a rate schedule for metering the value of the utilities consumed, and a special sequential password containing an encrypted combination of the consumer's account number, the consumer's site identification, and the sequence number of the current purchase. This encoding scheme for prepayment of utilities provides an effective and economical method of distributing utilities that prevents fraud and tampering. The present invention also includes a method and apparatus for providing an emergency credit to utility consumers when the prepurchased amount is exhausted. An emergency mag-stripe card is used to credit the user's account with a purchased amount of utilities adequate to tide the consumer over until the billing office opens on the next business day. The emergency mag-stripe card cannot be used more than once, and the credit amount in the meter must be replenished by a new purchase of utilities before the emergency card can be used again.

Title: Remote control system which minimizes screen refresh time by selecting compression algorithm
Inventor: KOBATA HIROSHI
IPC: H04N21/431
Filed: 1998-11-13
Abstract: A system is provided for the remote control of one computer from another in which selectable compression speeds are utilized to minimize overall screen refresh time. In one embodiment, an algorithm selection module at one computer chooses the highest compression available corresponding to a worst case scenario, followed by measurement of the compression time and the transmission time, with the ratio of compression time to transmission time being used to select a decreased compression, thereby to lower compression time and consequently lower the overall screen refresh time. By adjusting both the send time and the compression time on the transmit side, the above ratio can be made to equal one, which corresponds to the most efficient utilization of the available bandwidth and CPU power, which in turn translates into the quickest screen refresh time for the remote control operation.

Title: A long qt syndrome gene which encodes kvlqt1 and its association with mink
Inventor: KEATING MARK F
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to the identification of the molecular basis of long QT syndrome. More specifically, the invention has identified that mutated KVLQT1 causes long QT syndrome. The analysis of this gene will provide an early diagnosis of subjects with long QT syndrome. The diagnostic methods comprise analyzing the nucleic acid sequence of the KVLQT1 gene of an individual to be tested and comparing them with the nucleic acid sequence of the native, non-variant gene. Alternatively, the amino acid sequence of KVLQT1 may be analyzed for mutations which cause long QT syndrome. Presymptomatic diagnosis of long QT syndrome will enable practitioners to treat this disorder using existing medical therapy. A second aspect of the invention relates to the realization that KVLQT1 coassembles with minK to form a cardiac potassium channel.; This allows one to assay for drugs which interact with this channel to identify new drugs which are useful for treating or preventing long QT.
