Title: Method and apparatus for dynamic backhaul resource management in a wireless communication system
Inventor: SMOLINSKE JEFFREY C
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 2005-02-22
Abstract: Various embodiments are described to address the need to lower backhaul costs for EGPRS operators while maintaining the low and constant delay characteristics they require. 20 msec TRAU frames (221-226) are still used for backhaul to maintain the low and constant delay. However, to eliminate the restriction of mapping TRAU timeslots to air timeslots (211-218) one-to-one, the TRAU slots are collectively treated as a one large 20 msec TRAU frame for a group of air timeslots. The data for the air timeslots can be packed efficiently into this giant TRAU frame, ignoring backhaul timeslot boundaries.  In this way, the appropriate amount of backhaul for the carrier can be allocated and the data for the air interface timeslots more efficiently packed into the backhaul.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring parameters of a stratified flow
Inventor: BAILEY TIMOTHY J
IPC: G01F1/7082
Filed: 2005-03-10
Abstract: Various methods are described for measuring parameters of a stratified flow using at least one spatial array of sensors disposed at different axial locations along the pipe. Each of the sensors provides a signal indicative of unsteady pressure created by coherent structures convecting with the flow. In one aspect, a signal processor determines, from the signals, convection velocities of coherent structures having different length scales. The signal processor then compares the convection velocities to determine a level of stratification of the flow. The level of stratification may be used as part of a calibration procedure to determine the volumetric flow rate of the flow. In another aspect, the level of stratification of the flow is determined by comparing locally measured velocities at the top and bottom of the pipe. The ratio of the velocities near the top and bottom of the pipe correlates to the level of stratification of the flow. Additional sensor arrays may provide a velocity profile for the flow. In another aspect, each of the sensors in the array includes a pair of sensor half-portions disposed on opposing lateral surfaces of the pipe, and the signal processor determines a nominal velocity of the flow within the pipe using the signals.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a panel of interconnected tubular vanes and cord ladders for use in a Venetian blind includes a vane-forming system where a strip of vane material is supplied, folded, and pressed into a desired configuration prior to being cut to a predetermined length. The length is determined by the width of the panel to be formed and is effected by a vane-sizing system including a template for positioning a plurality of cord ladder assemblies at predetermined locations for connection to tubular slats formed upstream from the assemblies. The tubular vane material has inert adhesive along a flap on one edge which is heated to activate the adhesive and after having been folded along a generally longitudinal centerline, the flap is folded over the corresponding upper edge of the vane and secured thereto in a sliding compressor. Within a panel-assembly system, a desired number of cord ladders are processed by spreading the cord ladders to permit the insertion of previously formed tubular vanes which are connected to the rungs of the cord ladders by pairs of adhesive application devices which place a spot of adhesive on a rung in overlying relationship with the tubular vane to secure the rung to the vane. The spots of adhesive are dried with gas dryers as the vanes are sequentially lifted after having been inserted into the cord ladders and secured thereto.

Abstract: A polyester resin suitable for use in molding of a preform by compression molding. The polyester resin has an intrinsic viscosity of 0.70 to 1.00 dL/g, a molecular weight distribution (Mz/Mn) of not less than 3.0, and a diethylene glycol content of not more than 2.3% by mole. The use of this resin can effectively prevent the deposition of the resin onto a transport means in a synthetic resin feeding device, does not cause a deviation of timing of dropping of a melted resin mass in a compression mold, and, at the same time, can increase the amount of the resin delivered from an extruder. Further, the resin does not cause any excessive increase in torque of the extruder and can realize molding of a preform by compression molding with high productivity.  Furthermore, the fluidity of the resin is so high that the preform as the molding can be produced without causing wrinkles or haze, or molding strain and the like and with good moldability.

Title: Methods of isolating nucleic acids using multifunctional group-coated solid phase carriers
Inventor: BRAND ADRIANNE D
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 2005-07-29
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of isolating a target species (e.g., target nucleic acid species) from a mixture. In the methods of the present invention, the mixture is combined with solid phase carriers having a surface comprising multiple functional groups one of which reversibly and selectively binds the target species. In a particular embodiment, the mixture is combined with solid phase carriers having a first functional group which reversibly binds nucleic acids and a second functional group which selectively and reversibly binds the target nucleic acid species, thereby producing a first combination. The first combination is maintained under conditions appropriate for binding of the nucleic acids to the first functional group and binding of the target nucleic acid species to the second functional group. The solid phase carriers are separated from the first combination, and combined with an agent (e.g., buffer) that selectively removes (e.g., elutes) either the nucleic acid from the first functional group or the target nucleic acid species from the second functional group of the solid phase carriers, thereby isolating a target nucleic acid species from a mixture comprising a plurality of nucleic acid species.
