Title: Power supply assembly for portable phone
Inventor: BALL SCOTT R
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 1999-02-22
Abstract: A portable phone has an internal battery and an external battery pack is releasably attachable to the phone. A control unit in the phone controls connection of the respective batteries to a phone power input, depending on the detection of the external battery voltage. Whenever an external battery is present with a voltage above a predetermined minimum value, the external battery will be connected to the phone power input to provide power to operate the phone, so that the internal battery lifetime is extended. When the external battery voltage falls below the minimum value, or the external battery is removed, the unit automatically switches to internal battery power, so that the external battery can be changed without interrupting power supply to the phone, if the phone is on or during a call.

Inventor: MOORE THOMAS E
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2000-10-25
Abstract: A real time device polling method for multiplexed transmission of on/off constant bit rate data, such as voice data from a telephone call, over a cable data network is disclosed. The network serves as a shared bus for both the downstream and upstream traffic. The upstream channel is modeled as a stream of mini-slots. A cable modem termination system at the head end supports a number of cable modems attached to the cable network and connected to customer premises equipment. Allocation maps are transmitted on the downstream channel to the cable modems to define transmission opportunities on the upstream channel. The cable modem termination system polls the cable modems in an efficient way such that the overhead associated with the polling is minimized, and the availability of data transmission slots is synchronized with the data packet generation by the codec for the cable modem, which minimizes delay.

Title: Method and apparatus for recording three-dimensional distribution of light scattering
Inventor: BAUMGARTNER ANGELA
IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 1999-04-29
Abstract: An apparatus (10) is disclosed for generating data representative of a three - dimensional distribution of the light backscattering potential of a transparent or semi-transparent object (12, 102) such as a human eye. The apparatus (10) includes an interferometer (14, 104), both the reference beam  and measurement beam of which are directed toward the object (12, 102) and reflected by respective reference and measurement sites thereof, such that axial motion of the object (12, 102) during measurement affects both beams equally. The measurement beam is raster scanned transversely across each measurement site for which data is obtained. Also, the frequency of one of t he beams is shifted by a non-moving frequency shifter (FS), such that the reflected beams combine and are modulated by a heterodyne beat frequency, which is detected when the object path difference is matched with the interferometer path difference. Because the non-moving frequency shifter (FS ) can effectively generate a beat frequency of about 40 MHz, relatively rapid transverse and longitudinal scanning are facilated.

Efforts are being undertaken by both industry and academia to identify new, native receptor or membrane-bound proteins. Many efforts are focused on the screening of mammalian recombinant DNA libraries to identifiy the coding sequences for novel receptor or membrane-bound proteins. The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention and to methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention.

Title: Two stage, hybrid logical ring protection with rapid path restoration over mesh networks
Inventor: WANG GUO QIANG Q
IPC: H04Q11/00
Filed: 2001-03-08
Abstract: A system and a method of combining logical ring protection and mesh restoration mechanisms for recovery from link and node failures in optical networks is provided. Logical rings, or pre-configured protection cycles are defined over the physical mesh optical network for protection purposes, and they are operational only in transient time. A Wavelength Routing Protocol (WRP) and a Wavelength Distribution Protocol (WDP) have been devised to support network-wide routing and signalling. When a switch detects a link failure, the traffic being protected is bridged to the logical ring first, then the switch sends failure notifications to all the other nodes via the WRP. After receiving notification, all nodes being affected by the failure re-calculate and re-configure new globally optimized restoration paths via the WDP protocol, to eventually re-direct the traffic into such a new path. Node failure is addressed through a diversity path restoration operation. By combing logical ring protection and mesh path restoration, both fast protection speed and bandwidth efficiency are achieved.
