Title: A method and system for identifying and tracking reusable plastic milk crates
Inventor: CORMACK CAMERON L
IPC: G06K17/00
Filed: 2009-08-24
Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for permanently and visibly marking reusable plastic milk crates with a unique mark and using said mark to identify and track the crate in a manufacturing environment. The aforementioned mark consists of a two--dimensional barcode comprised of holes which is drilled through the plastic side walls of the crate producing a unique and permanent pattern for identification. The contrast of the drilled pattern provides good visibility for an optical barcode reader. Said reader can identify a crate uniquely and assign waypoint data, process management data, and content data into a coupled computer database. The drilled pattern by means of an optical barcode reader can also be used to recall associated crate data from a coupled computer database. The ability to assign and recall crate specific data by means of a coupled computer database provide tracking capabilities and beneficial business intelligence for manufacturing management systems.

Title: Music interface
Inventor: ITSKOV BORIS
IPC: H04L12/16
Filed: 2009-09-23
Abstract: The music selection system allows a game terminal to use the logic processing and information of a remote computer server to provide fast relevant search results based on user keyed information. The search is carried out in parallel using different databases to provide possible results which are then combined and reduced by the server. This arrangement provides fast accurate results and advantageously uses search techniques well known to users. This familiarity in combination with the specialized databases provides relevant music search results with relatively few keystroke entries.

Abstract: 1-(2-Fluoro-4-thio-.beta.-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-methyluracil exhibits an anti-EB virus activity, and is therefore effective as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for a disease associated with an EB  virus. Each of a plasmid capable of expressing EB  virus-TK and a plasmid capable of expressing human-TK is introduced into a TK-defect cell, thereby producing two types of cells respectively having the plasmids introduced therein. By using the two types of cells, it is possible to screen a medicinal agent which has cytotoxicity against the cell having the plasmid capable of expressing EB  virus-TK introduced therein but has no toxicity against the cell having the plasmid capable of expressing human-TK introduced therein.  In this manner, it becomes possible to screen a medicinal agent which specifically exhibits an anti-EB virus activity.

Abstract: A system and method for wireless network planning utilizing raster data, stored and manipulated in raster data planes (204-212) and vector data (522) stored and manipulated in vector data planes (528--532). The invention increases the accuracy of network planning by simultaneously utilizing vector data planes (528-532) and raster data planes (204-212) to perform computations using vector features contained within map pixels (604). The disclosed method makes it possible to perform accurate computations such as propagation loss to vector points (602) contained within map pixels (604). Accuracy is further increased because other characteristics such as received power, elevation, and best server can be computed to the vector features rather than processing them with traditional raster resolutions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for verifying data packet integrity in a streaming-data channel. In the method, data packets are received from the streaming--data channel. Each data packet includes a data payload and a corresponding message integrity code. The received data packets are processed in a first processing mode, wherein the received data packets are forwarded to an ap-plication module before checking the integrity of the data packets using the respective message integrity codes. An integrity-check-failure measurement is generated for monitoring an integrity-check-failure rate in the first pro-cessing mode. If the integrity-check-failure measurement exceeds an integrity-check threshold, then the method transitions to a second processing mode. A received data packet is forwarded to the application module in the sec-ond processing mode only after passing the integrity check.
