Patent CH-555889-A (CH)
Title: Growing separate bacteria colonies from one dip - which is wiped in traces across solid culture medium
IPC: C12M1/26
Filed: 1972-08-11
Abstract: A support member with a coating of a suitable culture medium is heavily seeded over a limited area with bacteria, e.g. by dipping one end in blood, urine or possibly wine or some other edible matter. A guided spreader, e.g. flexible comb, is then used to wipe across the seeded area and then over the unseeded area where it leaves separate traces of decreasing conc. of bacteria. Seeding of culture media with a sick patient's specimen can be effected rapidly at the bedside by a comparatively unskilled attendant. Distinct traces produce separate colonies of bacteria on the culture medium, growing at different concn. rates along the traces. These concn. gradients are achieved automatically without dilution problems.

Patent GB-2358326-A (GB)
Title: Selection of soft handoff method in cellular mobile communications networks
Inventor: MOHEBBI BEHZAD
IPC: H04W36/18
Filed: 2000-01-11
Abstract: In a mobile communications network, when a mobile station (MS) is to be handed off from a first base transceiver station (BTS A) of the network to a second base transceiver station of the network (BTS B), the network selects whether to use a first hand-off strategy or a second hand-off strategy. In the first hand-off strategy the hand-off involves allocating a new forward channel for communication from the second base transceiver station (BTS B) to the mobile station that is different from a forward channel allocated for communication from the first base station (BTS A) to the mobile station. This strategy preserves orthogonality in the channels used by BTS B but leads to interference because of the channel negotiation process. In the second hand-off strategy the hand-off involves using the same forward channel for communication from the second base transceiver station (BTS B) to the mobile station as for communication from the first base transceiver station (BTS A) to the mobile station. This strategy does not preserve orthogonality and therefore leads to interference but avoids the channel negotiation process. The selection of the hand-off strategy to be used is based on which strategy is expected to result in a lower level of interference in the network.

Also the first pipeline 301 may not be able to produce all the data required by each of the stages of the second pipeline 302. One of the two paths provides an early data path for the type of data that becomes available in a stage of the first pipeline 301 and that may be processed in a stage of the second pipeline 302 early in time. The other of the two data paths provides a late data path for a type of data that becomes available in a stage of the first pipeline 301 and that may be processed in a stage of the second pipeline 302 later in time. The system may comprise at least two pipelines which may have any number of stages and the decoupling buffers may be a FIFO.
