Title: Network controller for cable television headend
Inventor: HENDRICKS JOHN S
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 1993-12-02
Abstract: A novel advanced set top terminal capable of digital decompression, menu generation, interactivity and other advanced functional capabilities for use in a television program delivery system (200) is described. The invention relates to methods and apparatus for upgrading existing set top terminals (220) to provide menu generation capability and advanced functional capabilities. The invention is particularly useful in television program delivery systems (200) with hundreds of channels of programming, providing (i) menu driven program selection through the addition of an upgrade module (300) or menu generation card and (ii) advanced functional capabilities using a set of hardware upgrades (e.g., 130) and/or an expansion card. Specifically, the invention is an upgradeable system that supports advanced set top functionality through the use of internal software, hardware upgrades, an upgrade module and/or expansion cards. The upgraded hardware generally includes a microprocessor, various input/output ports (e.g., 308), processing circuitry (e.g., 108) and memory (e.g., 116). The invention results in an upgraded set top terminal that supports: menu generation; picture-on-picture displays; program catalogue services; interactive services; telephone caller identification; digital audio reception; VCR control; HDTV reception; and backyard satellite system interoperability, among other features and capabilities.
Patent NZ-323988-A (NZ)
Title: Method of providing intelligent network services in a switched telecommunication system
Inventor: LOW COLIN
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 1996-12-11
Abstract: Traditional IN (Intelligent Network) services in a PSTN use service logic and data that is accessible for use only by the PSTN, though provision may be made for users to change certain controlled parameters of the services.  The present system has the service logic and data placed on a server (51) accessible over the Internet (50). This permits anyone to access useful telephone data such a time-of-day routing or diversion number information of a user.  Thus a calling party (A) can determine before placing a call over the PSTN the best number to call by accessing the phone page (49) of the intended called party (B).  This phone page (49) would remain accessible to the PSTN for service provision. In a preferred embodiment, the service logic and data is maintained by the user (B) independently of the PSTN on a server (51) of the user's choice; in this case, the PSTN would also access the user's service logic and data over the Internet (50).

Title: A method of manufacturing interconnected plastic bags
Inventor: SULLIVAN RODNEY ERNEST
IPC: B31B39/00
Filed: 2001-09-10
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a continuous strip of plastic bags 13 formed by band seals 7 and interconnected by non-integral tapes 9 incorporating support rails 10. A parent supply of film 1 is folded longitudinally to form the bottoms 5 of the bags 13. The bottom folding may form a gusseted or buoy bottom. Continuous strips of reclose elements 8 may be attached inward of the free edges of the film 1. This spacing is sufficient to provide a swath 11 for subsequent severing, the line of severing 12 corresponding to the intended top of the bags 13. The spacing may also be sufficient to allow for a top seal 12b to be formed on the bags 13 after charging. During the bottom folding, the reclose elements 8 are engaged with one another. Transverse bags delineating band seals 7 are then formed across the folded film 1. The transverse band seals 7 may extend the full width of the film 1 but preferably termination within the swath 11 adjacently above an intended top 12a of the bags 13. Continuous carrier rail tapes 9 are then attached to the swath 11 clear of the intended bag tops 12a. The transverse band seals 7 are then cut to form the sides of adjacent bags 13, the cutting terminating short of the carrier tape 9 that remains to interconnect the bags 13. The interconnected bags 13 can be fed to charging apparatus 14 and following reclosing of the reclose elements 8 the swath 11 is severed to separate the bags 13 therefrom and from one another. If provided for, prior to severing the top seals 12b may be formed.

Title: Melan-A peptide analogue-virus-like-particle conjugates
Inventor: BACHMANN MARTIN F
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2004-03-25
Abstract: Disclosed is a modified virus-like particle (VLP) comprising a VLP which can be loaded with immunostimulatory substances, in particular with DNA oligonucleotides containing non-methylated C and G (CpGs), and particular peptides derived from MelanA linked thereto. Such CpGVLPs are dramatically more immunogenic than their CpG-free counterparts and induce enhanced B and T cell responses. The immune response against MelanA peptide analogues optionally coupled, fused or attached otherwise to the VLPs is similarly enhanced as the immune response against the VLP itself. In addition, the T cell responses against the MelanA peptide analogues are especially directed to the Thl type. Antigens attached to CpG-loaded VLPs may therefore be ideal vaccines for prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination against allergies, tumors and other self-molecules and chronic viral diseases.
