Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer system for efficiently utilizing a
conference bridge capacity in order to support a multipoint conference call
are described. Each conference bridge 212 within multiple communication
groups 202a-n determines which local communication unit 206-210 is a
dominant local communication unit, quantizes that dominant local
communication unit's signal, and transmits the quantized signal of the
dominant local communication unit via signalling channels to the other
conference bridges. Each conference bridge 212 then compares the
various quantized signals of the various dominant local communication
units to determine an overall dominant communication unit of the multipoint
conference. Then the signal of the overall dominant communication unit is
then transmitted to all communication units 206-210 participating in the
conference call in various ways for different embodiments of the invention.

Abstract: A ferrous object is attached to or embedded within an article of golf clothing
so that it is subject to the force of magnetic attraction of a magnet in a ball marker.
A magnetic ball marker according to the invention has a body that can be stamped,
painted, machined, or otherwise provided with surface embellishments, such as
tournament logos, golf course crests, corporate logos, and other visual indicia that
are favored by golfers. Unlike conventional golf ball markers, however, a ball
marker according to the invention is provided with a thin, flat, permanent magnet
that is attached to or embedded within the body of the ball marker. When the ball
marker is moved into the proximity of an article of golf clothing modified according
to the invention by the incorporation of a ferrous object therein, the ball marker will
be attracted to the ferrous object and will cling to the article of golf clothing until
purposely removed therefrom. The invention has particular applicability to golf
headgear, such a hats and visors. The ferrous objects employed may be configured
as thin metal sheets, discs, wafers, or strips attached to or embedded within the bill
or a golf hat or visor. The magnet ball marker of the invention is then simply
placed in contact with or even in near proximity to the area of the hat at which the
ferrous object has been permanently attached. The magnetic ball marker will
thereupon cling to the article of golf clothing until removed therefrom for use.

Abstract: A method and system for authenticating users while conducting an auction via a computer system. The system can automatically authenticate users who have previously registered with the auction system and who have enabled automatic authentication. When a user is registered, the system may store authentication information in a cookie on the user's computer. When the user decides to perform a transaction (e.g., list item auction or place a bid for an item) that requires authentication, the system retrieves the stored authentication information. If automatic authentication is enabled, then the system allows the transaction to proceed without manual authentication. If, however, automatic authentication is not enabled or the system does not recognize the stored authentication information, then the system requests manual authentication. The use of automatic authentication allows a user to enter information relating to a transaction without manually entering any identification information. The system also defers manual authentication until a transaction is ready to proceed.

Abstract: Micro-organisms which over-produce ATPase, especially mycoplasmas in a sample of a cell culture, are detected by making use of the ATPase activity to convert cellular or externally added ATP to ADP. The decrease in ATP externally added or the increase or absolute level of ADP produced from cellular ATP can then be detected or measured. For example, if a reagent such as phosphenol pyruvate/pyruvate kinase is added to convert that ADP back to ATP, the resulting high level of ATP can be detected bioluminescently using the reaction: Luciferin+luciferase enzyme+ATP->hv+products.

Abstract: An interactive display apparatus comprises an audio subsystem (4), a control
subsystem (5) and a plurality of video subsystems (2, 3). The video subsystems (2, 3)
have access locally to image data, including image files and live video. The video
subsystems (2, 3) are controlled by the control subsystem (5) which then sends
command messages to the video subsystems (2, 3). A person watching the display (22,
42) of one of the video subsystems (2, 3) can dial into the audio subsystem (4) and
thereby control the operation of the video subsystem (2, 3). To do this, the audio
subsystem (4) notifies the control subsystem (5) of incoming audio command signals.
It is to be noted that when the system is on line, the control subsystem (5) does not
transfer image data to the video subsystem (2, 3) but merely sends commands setting
the format of the images displayed on the screens (22, 42).
