IPC: H04L47/36
Filed: 2007-12-13
Abstract: A method, computer program product, and data processing system for efficiently discovering and storing path MTU information in a sending host are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, two path MTU tables are maintained. One path MTU table contains MTU values corresponding to the first-hop routers associated with the sending host. The other path MTU table contains MTU values corresponding to individual destination hosts. When the sending host needs to send information to a destination, it first consults the MTU table associated with individual destination hosts. If an entry for that destination host is found in the table, the sending host uses that MTU value. If not, the sending host consults the MTU table for the first-hop router on the path to the destination host and uses that MTU value. If that MTU value is too high, a new entry is made in the host-specific MTU table for the destination host.
Patent CA-2666565-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHOELL HARRY
IPC: F01K23/06
Filed: 2005-09-14
Abstract: A heat regenerative engine uses water as both the working fluid and the lubricant. In operation, water is pumped from a collection pan and through a coil around a cylinder exhaust port, causing the water to be preheated by steam exhausted from the cylinder. The preheated water then enters a steam generator and is heated by a combustion chamber to produce high pressure super heated steam. Air is preheated in a heat exchanger and is then mixed with fuel from a fuel atomizer. An igniter burns the atomized fuel as the flames and heat are directed in a centrifuge within the combustion chamber. The speed and torque of the engine are controlled by a rocker and cam arrangement which opens a needle-type valve to inject high pressure super heated steam into a cylinder having a reciprocating piston therein.

Abstract: A buoyant actuator (10) for use in apparatus (11) for harnessing ocean wave energy and for converting the harnessed energy to high-pressure seawater. The buoyant actuator (10) comprises a body (21) defining a chamber (23) having a pliant outer skin (27). The chamber (23) is adapted to contain matter and a hydrodynamic property of the body (21) is selectively variable by varying the matter within the chamber (23). The variation to the hydrodynamic property may comprise a variation to the buoyancy (either positively or negatively) or a variation to the response area (such as the volume or shape) of the body (21), as well as a combination thereof. The variation to the matter may comprise addition of matter to, or extraction of matter from, the chamber (23). The matter may comprise a solid, liquid or gas, as well as any combination thereof. In the arrangement shown, the matter comprises foam spheres (53). The outer skin (27) is drawn into a taut condition by the outward pressure of the foam spheres (53) inside, causing the actuator to assume its design shape. The volume occupied by the foam spheres (53) is in total still less than the total enclosed volume of the chamber (23) and there are interstitial regions (55) around each sphere (53). The interstitial regions (55) may be filled with fluid to adjust the buoyancy.

Filed: 2007-11-13
Abstract: A debris barrier (30) for a retrievable mechanical set packer is held retracted for run in. It is held spaced apart from upper slips (18) and uses a spring bias (16) that acts on the slips to keep them energized to also energize the barrier to the extended position to keep debris out of the upper slips (18) when the packer is set. The debris barrier (30) is preferably a sleeve that is axially compressed by the setting procedure to increase in diameter and span the gap between the packer mandrel (10) and the set upper slips (18). Retrieving the packer is enabled by a retraction of the debris barrier (30) as the upper slips (18) are undermined with rotation and pickup force on the packer mandrel (10). The lack of a debris barrier (30) could prevent retrieval of the packer in well bores where debris is present and has a tendency to settle around and more critically under the upper slips (18).

Title: Enhancement of microbial ethanol production
Inventor: BAGHAEI-YAZDI NAMDAR
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 2007-03-26
Abstract: A thermophilic microorganism lacks lactate dehydrogenase activity and preferably contains an active pyruvate formate lyase pathway. The thermophilic microorganism contains a gene encoding an NAD-linked formate dehydrogenase. The gene encoding an NAD-linked formate dehydrogenase is preferably a codon optimised version of the gene encoding a thermostable NAD-linked formate dehydrogenase. DNA constructs allow stable expression of the gene encoding an NAD-linked formate dehydrogenase in the thermophilic microorganism. The DNA constructs are based upon use of an insertion sequence to achieve stable expression or recombination to insert the gene encoding an NAD-linked formate dehydrogenase into the lactate dehydrogenase gene, thus achieving gene knockout and new functionality in a single step. The microorganisms are useful in fermentation of sugars to produce ethanol.
