Title: Telephone caller identification log with internet access
Inventor: GURBANI VIJAY KUMAR
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1999-06-02
Granted: 2002-06-18
Abstract: A method for storing caller identification information as a log of answered and unanswered telephone calls at a central server. This call log server is accessible by the Internet, so if a subscriber is traveling, he or she is still able to access and read a list of answered and unanswered calls to the subscriber's home station. Internet devices such as browsers that are internet telephony capable may return a call from the call log list using a point and click sequence. The call log may be processed from natural chronological order into a personal priority order such as: family, professional and everything else. This call log may also be forwarded via e-mail to the subscriber. Such e-mail forwarding may be either contemporaneously with call logging or periodically.

Granted: 2002-04-16
Abstract: In a loop network system, a method and apparatus for automatic bypass of a node port (210) associated with a hub port (200) when the node port (210) generates a number of errors beyond a threshold level. In one aspect, a programmable error control circuit (218) provides this automatic bypass. The  tolerance level is set through programmable parameters including a number of  errors as well as a time interval to evaluate the number of errors detected.  After a node port (210) has been bypassed by the error control circuit (218) , the error control circuit (218) continues to monitor the error generation of  the node port (210). When that error generation has reached an acceptable tolerance level, the error control circuit (218) automatically reinserts the  node port (210) into the loop. The error control circuit (218) provides statistical reporting on the number of errors as well as the number of bypasses generated at a particular hub port (200).

Title: Polycetides et leur synthese
Inventor: STAUNTON JAMES
IPC: A61P31/04

Granted: 2008-03-11
Abstract: Une polycétide synthase ("PKS") de type I est un complexe multienzymatique comprenant un domaine de chargement lié à une multiplicité de domaines d'extension. Le premier module d'extension reçoit une unité de démarrage d'acyle à partir du domaine de chargement, et chaque module d'extension ajoute une autre unité de cétide qui peut subit un traitement (par ex. une réduction). On a observé que le domaine Ksq que possèdent certaines PKS présente une activité de décarboxylation, par exemple, en générant de l'acyle (substitué) à partir du malonyle (substitué). Le domaine CLF des PKS de type II présente une activité semblable. Il est possible de contrôler les unités de démarrage utilisées en insérant des modules de chargement comprenant des domaines de ce type dans les PKS qui en sont normalement dépourvues.

IPC: B23K26/38

Granted: 2009-09-15
Abstract: A method of laser processing or laser modification of materials. The combination of ultrafast laser pulses and high-repetition rate ( > 100 kHz) bursts (or continuous operation) defines a new and unexpected regime for material processing. The high repetition rate controls thermal and/or other relaxation processes evolving between each ultrafast laser pulse that 'prepares' the sample surface or bulk to alter the interaction with subsequent ultrafast laser pulses and thereby improve or optimize the process, or enable a new process, that are not available at lower repetition rate. The addition of this laser-controlled thermal component, and/or the general control of relaxation processes , overcomes several current limitations of ultrafast laser processing at lower repetition rates ( < 100 kHz), providing means to further harness the many attributes of ultrafast lasers for general material processing and material modification applications.
Patent CA-2335003-C (CA)
Inventor: KAPILOW DAVID A
IPC: G10L19/005
Filed: 2000-04-19
Granted: 2009-02-03
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and apparatus for performing packet loss or Frame Erasure Concealment (FEC) for a speech coder that does not have a built-in or standard FEC process. A receiver with a decoder receives encoded frames of compressed speech information transmitted from an encoder. A lost frame detector at the receiver determines if an encoded frame has been lost or corrupted in transmission, or erased. If the encoded frame is not erased, the encoded frame is decoded by a decoder and a temporary memory is updated with the decoder's output. A predetermined delay period is applied and the audio frame is then output. If the lost frame detector determines that the encoded frame is erased, a FEC module applies a frame concealment process to the signal. The FEC processing produces natural sounding synthetic speech for the erased frames.

The adhesive has essentially no residual tack, such that aft er joining, subsequent contact between the primary topsheet and the secondary layer at areas other than the predetermined portions prevents bonds of mesurable strength between the primary topsheet and the secondary layer. An absorbent article utilizing a topsheet system of the present invention is also disclosed.
