Granted: 2007-01-23
Abstract: A downhole tool (10) for mounting on a drill string comprises: a mandrel (16); a body (18) axially movably mounted on the mandrel; and radially extendable members, such as stabiliser blades or cutters (30), mounted in the body and being operatively associated with the mandrel such that relative axial movement of the mandrel and body induces radial movement of the members.   Application of axial tension to the tool produces axial movement of the body relative to the mandrel, tending to retract the members from an extended configuration. The mandrel may be arranged to draw the members inwardly to permit positive retraction of the members from an extended configuration.    Further, the body may define a channel (32) and the mandrel and the members include an arrangement (38, 39, 40, 42) for maintaining a desired orientation of the members relative to the body channel.

Title: System and method for verifying delivery and integrity of electronic messages
Inventor: TOMKOW TERRANCE A
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2001-07-25
Granted: 2013-05-28
Abstract: In order to provide third party verification of the content and delivery of an electronic message such as an e-mail, a server receives the e-mail intended to be sent or forwarded to a specified addressee, and "tags" the message to indicate that it is "registered" with the provider of the service. The server then establishes a direct telnet connection with the addressee's Mail User Agent (MUA), and transmits the tagged e-mail to the addressee's MUA, as well as to the MUA's of any other addressees. After receiving responses from the receiving MUA's that the message was successfully received, the server then creates and forwards to the message originator an electronic receipt. The receipt include one or more, and preferably all of, the following: the original message including any original attachments; a delivery success/failure table listing which addressee's MUA's successfully received message and at what time, and for which MUA's there was a delivery failure;  and a digital signature corresponding to the message and attachments. By receiving the receipt at a later date and verifying that the digital signature matches the message and related information, the operators of the system can provide independent third party verification that the receipt is a genuine product of their system and that the information pertaining to content and delivery of the message is accurate, without the need to archive either the original message or the receipt.

Title: Electronic toll collection system for toll road
Inventor: FUYAMA SEIJI
IPC: G08G1/09
Filed: 2001-05-28
Granted: 2004-07-27
Abstract: An ETC system for a toll road includes a road-side device implementing communication with an on-vehicle device.      A lapse of time from a moment at which the road-side device starts implementing the communications with the on-vehicle device is measured. The communications are maintained if it is decided that the lapse of time does not reach a prescribed time interval and then terminated, so that compulsory ends of the communications are avoided before completing the communications. The ETC system also prevents such a situation that a payment by the on-vehicle device remains unfinished while the payment has been completed in the road-side device, based on data handled as effective regardless of the on-vehicle device having received a communication end signal.

Title: Immunogenic hla-a2 supermotif-restricted peptides
Inventor: SIDNEY JOHN
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2002-01-29
Granted: 2011-07-26
Abstract: Methods to design vaccines which are effective in individuals bearing A2 supertype alleles are described. Single amino acid substitution analogs of known A2-supertype binding peptides, and large peptide libraries were utilized to rigorously define the peptide binding specificities of A2-supertype molecules. While each molecule was noted to have unique preferences, large overlaps in specificity were found. The presence of the hydrophobic and aliphatic residues L, I, V, M, A, T, and Q in positon 2 of peptide ligands was commonly tolerated by A2-supertype molecules. L, I, V, M, A, and T were tolerated at the C-terminus. While examination of secondary influences on peptide binding revealed allele specific preferences, shared features could also be identified, and were utilized to define an A2-supermotif. Shared features also correlate with cross-reactivity; over 70% of the peptides that bound A*0201 with high affinity were found to bind at least 2 other A2-supertype molecules. Finally, the coefficients for use in the development of algorithms for the prediction of peptide binding to A2-supertype molecules are provided.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for controlling to a target heat release rate (HRR) using a HRR control lever, namely, pilot fuel timing and/or pilot fuel quantity, used in a gaseous-fuelled compression ignition internal combustion engine. The mechanism to control HRR to a target HRR provides improved performance and emissions for such an engine. A target HRR is determined for a cycle of an engine. A HRR control lever is then used to adjust to the target HRR in consideration of combustion conditions in the engine and the difference between the target HRR and Cycle HRR predicted for the cycle by reference to, by way of example, a derived HRR trace from a previous cycle, a pressure trace, a measured property of the exhaust gas directly determined or mapped values provided during calibration allowing for adjustment to a target HRR for the engine. The mapped values can be cross-referenced to the combustion conditions in the engine.
