Title: Defining header field compression for data packet connection
Inventor: TOURUNEN ARI
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-10-17
Abstract: A method of defining header field compression for a data packet connection and a header field compression system, in which a context for controlling the operation of a compressor and decompressor is defined as one parameter of the connection. A length is defined for a context identifier used in identifying data packet connections for data transmission between the compressor and decompressor, said length defining the maximum number of data packet connections transmitted on one connection. Each data packet connection is identified by its own context identifier. The parameters of the connection are defined in such a manner that at least the number of header fields of data packet connections allowed by the defined context identifier length can be compressed despite the fact that the number of data packet connections allowed by said context identifier length is exceeded.

IPC: F24F13/22
Filed: 2003-08-29
Abstract: One of the most bothering problems with air conditioners is the water drainage problem. When the air conditioner is used for cooling the room, considerable amounts of water can condense on the room unit and are typically moved out through a small tube out of a hole in the wall and dropped there near the external wall. Another typical problem with ordinary single-room split air conditioners is that there is no arrangement for entering fresh air into the room other than keeping the window open or partly open, which can result in considerable loss of efficiency of the air conditioner. Although a wide fresh air tunnel is sometimes used in central air conditioners that are spread over a number of rooms, such a solution does not exist for a single-room split air conditioner. The present invention solves the drainage problem by adding preferably one more pipe to the group of preferably thin pipes that go to the external condenser unit (which is typically either on an outside wall or on the roof), preferably with a pump, so that the water can go also in horizontal or upward directions. This pipe preferably reaches the external condenser, where the water is preferably poured on the radiator there, thus also cooling it down and increasing the efficiency of the air conditioner, and preferably the water evaporates there. Various solutions are shown for the fresh air problem, including for example a heat exchange between incoming air and outgoing air, and transferring also the outgoing air to the external condenser unit. Another improvement shown is increasing the efficiency of the home-unit radiator (and/or of the external unit radiator) by increasing the surface area of its contact with the air.

Inventor: MURRAY ALLEN K
IPC: G01N1/40
Filed: 2001-04-20
Abstract: A method of analyzing cell wall components based on a hot dilute acid extraction, followed by alcohol precipitation, of plant cellulosic materials such as cotton fibers or wood pulp. The extracts are analyzed by high pH ani on exchange chromatography to separate and characterize the carbohydrates. This method extracts a characteristic series of carbohydrate multimers containing galactose, mannose and glucose. The pattern of multimers is indicative of origin of the cellulosic material (e.g., the plant species the material comes from) as well as quality and processing state of the material. The alcohol precipitation improves the discriminating powers of the analysis so that the species of origin of plant products can be identified.

Each annular body (22, 32) has internal grooves enabling it to be releasably and non-rotatably mounted onto the respective socket elements (10 or 12) in a selected one of a plurality of positions, but once so mounted tending to inhibit rotation of the respective socket elements. The annular bodies (22, 32) of the connector element (20) may be attached directly to each other or by way of a link which is a straight strip, or of U-shape (24) of V-shape (Figs 3 and 4) or some other shape. One or both of the socket elements may be axially extended so that a portion projects axially when the connector element is fitted over. A further indicator element may then be provided which is non-rotatably mounted onto this axially projecting portion so as to indicate any rotation of that socket element relative to a reference position (Figs 3 and 4).

Abstract: Waveguide bends are specially designed according to a matching condition in order to suppress mode distortion and other undesirable effects. Generally, an optical field in a waveguide bend (58) is describable by first and second bend modes which are in phase at the start of the bend, but which propagate at different velocities through the bend, thereby coming out of phase and into phase with each other in beats. According to the teaching of the invention, the bend (58) is structured having regard to its length and curvature (1, R, .theta.) to ensure that at its end the first and second bend modes are substantially in phase with each other having completed approximately an integer number of beats. By being in phase at the end of the bend, the two modes are able to properly reconstruct the first mode of the straight waveguide and propagate on with a minimum of distortion, whether it be into a straight section, a further curved section of arbitrary curvature, into a free space propagation region or whatever. This approach can be used to suppress mode distortion, transition losses and other negative effects of waveguide bends, without inserting small lateral jumps as proposed in the prior art. A  number of device applications are discussed, including couplers, Y-branches and Mach-Zehnder interferometers, all of which include waveguide bends.

Title: Selectively coupled two-piece antenna
Inventor: OZAKI ERNEST T
IPC: H01Q5/15
Filed: 2002-08-27
Abstract: A selectively coupled two-piece antenna for use in a mobile phone having a casing (102) and radio frequency (RF) communications circuitry (112) includes a composite radiator (206) that is selectively extendable from and retractable into the casing and a communications interface that is connected to the RF  communications circuitry. The composite radiator has first and second radiating elements (208, 212), and a connecting element (210). When the composite radiator is extended, the connecting element connects the first and second radiating elements. In this position, the communications interface connects the RF communications circuitry to the first and second radiating elements. Thus, the RF communications circuitry transmits and/or receives RF  signals through both the first and second radiating elements as a top loaded antenna. However, when the composite radiator is retracted, the connecting element electrically isolates the first and second radiating elements. In this position, the composite radiator electrically connects with the communications interface so that the first radiating element is electrically connected to the RF communications circuitry.
