Title: Processing biological waste materials to provide energy
Inventor: BOWE MICHAEL JOSEPH
IPC: H01M8/06
Filed: 2004-06-15
Abstract: Biological waste materials are mixed with water and subjected to intense ultrasonic irradiation (14), before being supplied to an anaerobic digester (16), so that a biogas is generated which contains methane. The biogas is supplied to a catalytic reformer unit (20) to form a synthesis gas; steam may also be supplied, and the proportion of steam to methane is adjustable so that the synthesis gas may be rich in hydrogen or alternatively rich in carbon monoxide. Adjusting the proportion of steam to biogas enables the output of the process to be adjusted according to market conditions. If the synthesis gas is rich in hydrogen, it may be supplied to a fuel cell (26) to generate electricity, while if it is rich in carbon monoxide, it may be used to generate liquid hydrocarbons in a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor (32).

Inventor: TSE KATHLEEN A
IPC: H04B10/02
Filed: 2005-12-08
Abstract: An arrangement in a node in an optical communication network has one or more terminals 220 and/or 222 configured to provide local access to the network through the node, and an all-optical routing arrangement 202-204-206-208 configured to route optical signals among optical pathways extending from the node. The optical pathways include inter-node optical pathways (for example, pathways N and/or W) configured to carry optical signals into and out of the node to respective other elements in the network, as well as intra-node optical pathways (for example, pathway E) dedicated to carry optical signals between the routing arrangement and respective terminals so as to provide the local access to the network through the node. Placing the terminals on optical pathways allows redundancy of the terminals to avoid node isolation if a terminal fails, yet is more economical than conventional arrangements requiring a terminal for each pathway into the node.

Title: Voice over internet protocol call continuity
Inventor: DEMERS SEBASTIEN
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 2006-03-02
Abstract: An apparatus and a method for providing call continuity to a VoIP terminal user responsive to degrading call quality. The quality of a VoIP call is assesses by monitoring the quality of the corresponding IP packet traffic using conventional IP  packet quality measures such as, for example, fitter, packet loss and packet delay. When a quality trend indicator crosses a predetermined threshold, a continuity call is originated to the user from a mechanism connected to the IP network. The continuity call uses a connection infrastructure different from the one used by the VoIP terminal such as, for example, a mobility infrastructure (cellular), a wireline infrastructure, a wireless data protocol infrastructure or other similar infrastructure. The continuity call is connected to the user, the original call is bridged with the continuity call and the leg of the original call to the user is dropped.

Title: A process of making transgenic mammals that produce exogenous proteins in milk and transgenic mammals produced thereby
Inventor: BARANAO LINO
IPC: C12P21/00
Filed: 2004-09-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a protein of interest, comprising making a non-human transgenic mammal that produces said protein in its milk, obtaining said mild from the non-human transgenic mammal and purifying said protein of interest from the milk. Transgenic bovine animals were generated, which are able to produce human growth hormone in mammary glands. The method involves cloning of a genetic construct encoding hGH gene and beta casein promoter conveniently in an expression vector. It also includes transfection procedures into fetal bovine somatic cells, generally fibroblasts, and the nuclear transfer into enucleated bovine oocytes, generating thus transgenic embryos. The method also includes other procedures to generate transgenic embryos for the further expansion of the transgenic herd, such as the subcloning of transgenic female bovines, the superovulation of transgenic cows and their insemination with semen from a non-transgenic or a transgenic male bovine, and the superovulation of non-transgenic cows and their insemination with semen from a transgenic male bovine. Afterwards, transgenic embryos give rise to transgenic cattle that produce human growth hormone in huge amounts in their milk, from which the hormone is completely purified and analysed to fulfill all the requirements for the manufacture of a pure biopharmaceutical product.

Title: High data rate interface
Inventor: SHEKHAR SHASHANK
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-10-15
Abstract: A data Interface for transferring digital data between a host and a client over a communication path using packet structures linked together to form a communication protocol for communicating a pre-selected set of digital control and presentation data. The signal protocol is used by link controllers configured to generate, transmit, and receive packets forming the communications protocol, and to form digital data into one or more types of data packets, with at least one residing in the host device and being coupled to the client through the communications path. The interface provides a cost-effective, low power, bi-directional, high-speed data transfer mechanism over a short-range "serial" type data link, which lends itself to implementation with miniature connectors and thin flexible cables which are especially useful in connecting display elements such as wearable micro-displays to portable computers and wireless communication devices.
