Title: In situ low pressure gasket molding and method
Inventor: LEICHT LARRY F
IPC: B29L23/00
Filed: 2000-02-17
Abstract: A method for forming a gasket seal or transition fitting affixed to one of two parts to be joined in a gasketed joint by use of the gasket comprises providing a mold having a walled mold cavity, at least one of wall of the mold cavity being a junction surface of the one part and the remaining walls of the mold cavity being formed in a mold piece. The mold is closed by placing the mold piece over the junction surface of the one part to establish the mold cavity as a closed generally toroidal volume.

Title: System and method for administrating call and call feature set-up in a telecommunications network
Inventor: LIN HUA
IPC: H04Q3/545
Filed: 2000-03-06
Abstract: An improved system and method for administrating and processing call and cal l feature setup in a PSTN and other telecommunications networks are provided. Calls are set up on a service plane of a conceptual switch that includes a switch plane (25), control plane (30), and service plane (35 and 45) that ar e analogous to the open system interconnection (OSI) layered model of networks  including a physical layer, network layer and application layer. Call set-up  logic is separated from the switching fabric, allowing for flexible, on- demand, modification of service options using software while maintaining the  same switching fabric in hardware. Call set-up is accomplished by a call request made upon connection of a call to the switch (15). This causes a cal l agent (30) to search an eXtensible Markup Language knowledge base (40) to fi nd a web page in web server (35) corresponding to the initiating caller. The We b page may be collocated with the switch or on a LAN with the switch or on the  "Web", even on the caller's termination equipment (telephone).

Title: Polynucleotide matrix-based method of identifying microorganisms
Inventor: HOGAN JAMES J
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-05-03
Abstract: Method of identifying microbial organisms wherein a biological sample containing nucleic acids is hybridized with a collection of polynucleotide probes, each probe having binding specificity for the ribosomal nucleic acid s of at least one microbe. The collection of probes isorganized into a series of "addresses" that provide information about the presence or absence of one or  more polynucleotide sequences in the biological sample. Probes in the matrix  are selected to distinguish between organisms that differ from each other by  a known phylogenetic relationship. Advantageously, the invented method can detect and resolve the identities of microorganisms that are present in a mixed culture. The system is particularly suited to automated analysis.</SDO AB>

Abstract: A competitive assay for the concentration of a cyclic nucleotide such as cyclic adenosine monophosphate combines, in a reaction chamber provided with  a capture antibody, an antibody for the cAMP or other cyclic nucleotide, the sample to be assayed and a conjugate of cAMP and alkaline phosphatase. The mixture is incubated and washed, and after washing, a 1,2-dioxetane which is  caused to decompose when contacted by the alkaline phosphatase of said conjugate is added. The light emission caused by decomposition is measured, with the strength of the signal being inversely related to the concentration  of the cyclic nucleotide. Optionally, an enhancement agent in the form of a polymeric onium salt may be added, to further enhance the light emission.</S DOAB>

Inventor: WARNER WILLIAM THOMAS
IPC: B41J2/205
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of printing with an ink jet printer using inks of the same hue but of different saturation. The method utilizes a single dither array to control the printing application of the ink, preferab ly a full strength ink and a dilute ink to achieve gray scale printing. The dither array has threshold values defined for a subset of values of the rang e of pixel values of an image area, preferably 50 % thereof, corresponding generally to threshold values between 0 and 127 inclusive. Pixel values are determined to be either within or outside of the threshold array range. Consequently, an ink dot is either printed or not utilizing either the dilut e or full strength ink. If the pixel value is within the threshold array range  the pixel value is then compared to the threshold value of the overlaid cell  of the dither array. Where the pixel value is greater than the corresponding  threshold value, an ink dot is printed utilizing dilute ink, else no dot is printed. If the pixel value is determined to be outside the threshold array range, a predetermined value is subtracted from the pixel value resulting in  a difference pixel value. The difference pixel value is then compared to the threshold value of the overlaid cell of the dither array. If the difference pixel value is greater than the corresponding threshold value a full strengt h ink dot is printed, else a dilute ink dot is printed.
