IPC: A47H2/00
Filed: 1995-07-17
Abstract: A foam cornice window treatment (10) which is mountable on a curtain rod assembly (C) including one or more flat, slat-like members. The foam cornice (10) is formed of resilient foam material (12) and includes a front non-planar surface (15) which meets a rear, planar surface (11). One or more channels (13) are formed on the rear face (11) of the cornice (10) for engagement with the slat(s) of the curtain rod assembly (C). The cornice (10) includes a pair of rear slots (16) formed on the rear face (11) into which edges of a fabric covering (F) may be tucked. Because of the resiliency of the foam body (12), the slots (16) will open to receive the fabric edges (22), but will resiliently spring back to grip the fabric edges (22) and hold them in place.  A slot (18) may also be formed on the front face (15) of the cornice (10) so that an intermediate portion of the fabric covering (F) may be tucked thereinto to create a puffy, decorative effect.

Abstract: A system provides a user interface for maximizing an amount of information presented on a computer generated display. The system includes a user interface management system (UMIS) that works with an operating system that manages the computer resources including a display screen and a user input device for tracking position. The UMIS is responsive to the user input device to effect changes in the computer generated display. The UMIS communicates with an application program using the user interface. The user interface has at least a first layer for displaying a primary dynamic image and a second layer for displaying a secondary dynamic image. The second layer has a plurality of display modes including a first mode corresponding to at least a portion of the second layer assuming an invisible state in the computer generated display. Selection of the display modes is effected by signals received from the user input device. Both the first and second layers are updated regardless of the mode of the second layer.

Title: Traffic distribution analysis in a land mobile radio system
Inventor: MEREDITH SHELDON KENT
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 1997-10-28
Abstract: In a system for interconnecting a plurality of radio channel units in a single trunk group with a plurality of directional antennas and/or antenna beams, each radio channel unit has a receive section and a transmit section and the system dynamically connects the receive and transmit sections of each one of the radio channel units with any one of the plurality of antennas which, on average during a sampling period, is best suited for receiving and transmitting RF signals at the operating frequency of the radio channel unit.  The system further includes traffic distribution monitoring means for monitoring, storing and displaying information on a periodic basis indicative of the usage of each antenna and/or antenna beam.  The specific antenna or antenna beam being utilized by a radio channel unit is monitored on a periodic basis during communications between the radio channel unit and a mobile radio unit, and this information is stored in a memory associated with the radio channel unit.  The traffic distribution monitoring means is responsive to a transmit detect signal provided by a transmit switch connected to the radio channel unit for determining that the radio channel unit is communicating with a mobile radio unit, and in response to the transmit detect signal, information is stored in the memory associated with the radio channel unit.  The traffic distribution information may be used for determining the position of a transmit switch when an associated radio channel unit is not communicating with a mobile radio unit.

Inventor: VARSHAVSKY ALEXANDER
IPC: C12N15/62
Filed: 1996-10-24
Abstract: Disclosed is a novel class of molecules referred to herein as sitoxins (signalrelated, cleavage-mediated toxins. A sitoxin combines several functional domains to produce a therapeutically effective molecule. More specifically, a sitoxin is comprised of an effector domain; a domain bearing an intracellular signalling moiety; and a domain located between the effector domain and the domain bearing the intracellular signalling moiety which specifies a cleavage site for a predetermined protease. Also disclosed are methods for selectively killing a target cell which is known to contain a predetermined protease. Such methods involve the introduction of a sitoxin into a target cell. The sitoxin can be introduced directly, or through the intermediacy of an expression vector. Following the introduction of the sitoxin into the target cell, cleavage by the predetermined protease separates the effector domain of the sitoxin from the intracellular signalling moiety, resulting either in a longerlived (and therefore more toxic) effector domain or in an effector domain that moves from a cellular compartment where the domain is nontoxic to a cellular compartment where the domain is able to exert its effect.

Filed: 1998-07-27
Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and a method for sharing a communication channel among two or more base stations connected to a base station controller via a common transmission line in a channelized format. The present invention allows each of the base stations to receive data transmitted over a shared communication channel from the base station controller, to determine whether the data transmitted from the base station controller is intended for that base station, and to insert its data into the communication channel without interfering with data transmitted by other base stations over the communication channel. In one embodiment, each of the base stations is configured to bridge onto the transmission facility such that messages being transmitted over a signaling channel may be received by all of the base stations. The signaling messages has associated identifiers for specifying particular base stations to which the messages are intended. In another embodiment, each of the base stations can insert its signaling message into the data stream over the signaling channel without interfering with signaling messages already in the data stream.
