Title: Activated water apparatus and methods
Inventor: GORODKIN MARK
IPC: B01J19/08
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: An apparatus (1) subjects water to waves from an RF plasma. This allows continuous production of "activated water" characterized by cluster sizes below about 4 molecules per cluster, water having pH below 4 or above 10, or water having ORP of less than -350 mV or more than + 800 mV. The basic frequency of the plasma is preferably between 0.44 MHz and 40.68 MHz, and the plasma is preferably modulated at a frequency between 10 kHz and 34 kHz. Flow rates typically range from 20 l/hr to about 2000 l/hr. Activated water can be used for many purposes, including antimicrobial cleaning of worktable, floor, wall, knife, transport and other surfaces, for example, in meat processing facilities and hospitals.

Title: Signal adaptive filtering method, signal adaptive filter and computer readable medium for storing program therefor
Inventor: LEE YUNG LYUL
IPC: H04N19/625
Filed: 1998-06-18
Abstract: A signal adaptive filtering method for reducing blocking effect and ringing noise, a signal adaptive filter, and a computer readable medium. The signal adaptive filtering method capable of reducing blocking effect and ringing noise of image data when a frame is composed of blocks of a predetermined size includes the steps of: (a) generating blocking information for reducing the blocking effect and ringing information for reducing the ringing noise, from coefficients of predetermined pixels of the upper and left boundary regions of the data block when a frame obtained by deconstructing a bitstream image data for inverse quantization is an intraframe; and (b) adaptively filtering the image data passed through inverse quantization and inverse discrete cosine transform according to the generated blocking information and ringing information. Therefore, the blocking effect and ringing noise can be eliminated from the image restored from the block-based image, thereby enhancing the image restored from compression.

Title: Botulinum toxin in the treatment or prevention of acne
Inventor: CAIRE MARY L
IPC: A61K38/48
Filed: 2002-07-25
Abstract: Botulinum toxin may be used to inhibit the cascade of events leading to acne.  Results in preliminary studies have been dramatic. Withoout wishing to be bound by this theory, it is believed that botulinum toxin achieves this result through parasympathetic effects, inhibiting sweat gland activity, stimulating keratinocyte locomotion, anti-inflammatory effects, and possibly anti-androgenic effects. Botulinum toxin can play an important role in decreasing and even preventing the formation of acne.

Title: Managing packet data interconnections in mobile communications
Inventor: JANAKIRAMAN SENTHILNATHAN
IPC: H04L12/56

Abstract: Data interconnections are managed in a mobile communications network having multiple packet control function entities (PCFs) and multiple packet data serving nodes (PDSNs), wherein each PCF and PDSN communicates signaling messages according to a mobile signaling protocol. Information for a Mobile Subscriber (MS) is received. The MS is associated with a same one of the PDSNs when the MS moves from a first area covered by a first PCF to a second area covered by a second PCF. It is determined that a first PCF has issued a first connection request on behalf of an MS. As a result of the first connection request, a selection protocol is executed a first time to select a PDSN that corresponds to the MS. It is determined that a second PCF has issued a second connection request on behalf of the MS. The selection protocol is executed a second time to select the same PDSN that was selected as a result of the first connection request.
