Title: Process for manufacturing a packaging material
Inventor: NAEGELI HANS RUDOLF
IPC: B32B27/06
Filed: 2005-06-27
Abstract: A process for manufacturing a sterilisable packaging material is such that a film or foil is printing on, the printing (11) coated with an electron-beam-curable material, and the outer layer (12) radiated with electrons to cure-harden the coating material. The laminate is particularly well suited for manufacturing sterilisable packaging for foodstuffs or pharmaceutical products. The production of the laminate using electron-beam-curable outer layers results in a significant reduction in throughput time and in greater flexibility in production, and to a reduction in solvent emissions on replacing solvent-based laminating with electron-beam-curable outer lacquers.

IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 2004-02-09
Abstract: Techniques to generate FH sequences having excellent correlation properties and to use these FH sequences in multi-band communication systems (e.g., OFDM  systems). In one aspect, FH sequences may be generated based on an algebraic expression y(k) = log.alpha. b/k (mod p) where k is an index, p is an odd prime number, .alpha. is a primitive root of p, b is an integer, and (mod p) denotes modulo-p operation. Different FH sequences may be generated with different values for b, .alpha., and/or p. In another aspect, data may be transmitted using FH sequences generated based on the expression y(k) =  log.alpha. b/k (mod p). In a first scheme, data may be transmitted on "traffic" channels, each of which may be associated with a respective FH  sequence that determines the specific subband to use in each slot. In a second scheme, each data transmission is sent on subbands determined based on all or a portion of an FH sequence.

Filed: 2005-08-18
Abstract: A system and method for searching and retrieving certificates, which may be used in the processing of encoded messages. In one embodiment, a certificate synchronization application is programmed to perform certificate searches by querying one or more certificate servers for all certificate authority (CA) certificates and cross-certificates on the certificate servers. In another embodiment, all certificates related to an identified certificate are retrieved from the certificate servers automatically by the certificate synchronization application, where the related certificates comprise at least one of one or more CA certificates and one or more cross-certificates. Embodiments of the invention facilitate at least partial automation of the downloading and establishment of certificate chains, thereby minimizing the need for users to manually search for individual certificates.

Title: Dynamic preloading of insurance product data in insurance policy management system
Inventor: KELLINGTON JOHN S
IPC: G06Q40/08
Filed: 2004-03-26
Abstract: An apparatus, program product and method dynamically preload product information from an external database (90) into the working memory of a policy management system (10) to facilitate efficient, high volume access to the product information during runtime of the policy management system (10).  Typically, the dynamic preloading is performed during the initialization or boot-up of an application server (14) in the policy management system (10), and the working memory is resident in a computer upon which the application server (14) is also resident such that high speed access to the preloaded product information is available. Moreover, accesses to the external database (90) during post-initialization runtime of the application server (14) are typically avoided, thus eliminating the overhead associated with accessing the external database (90).

Abstract: A cleaning appliance, such as a cylinder-type vacuum cleaner (7), comprises a main body (8) having a rear portion (17) and side wheels (12) arranged to allow the main body to travel across a floor surface (11). In normal use, the rear portion is spaced from the floor surface. The rear portion carries a wheel (23) arranged so that, if the main body is tilted so that the rear portion is brought towards the floor, the wheel contacts the floor surface.  Thus, the cleaner may be used in a tipped-back position without causing damage to the floor surface as the cleaner is dragged along by the user by means of a hose attached to the main body. The size and position of the wheel is determined so that, when the cleaner is tipped back, the centre of gravity of the main body acts to return the main body to its righted position.
