Abstract: In-progress call transfer between a wireless telephone and a wired telephone is effected using a short-range wireless communication link between the devices. Each of the devices are provisioned to include a short-range radio or infrared transceiver so that the devices can communicate with each other over the short-range wireless communication link, preferably using a given short-range wireless protocol. When the wireless telephone's battery is almost exhausted, or for any other reason that the user may desire, the wireless telephone requests the wired telephone's phone number by communicating with the wired telephone over the short-range wireless communication link. Upon receipt of the wired telephone's phone number, the wireless telephone issues a call transfer request to a cellular base station, passing the wired telephone's phone number. The base station and the network then re-route the call to the wired telephone.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil permettant de mélanger et de mouler par injection du polyuréthane thermodurcissable. L'invention consiste à utiliser un prémélangeur constitué d'une série de chambres de prémélange spécialement conçues, un ou plusieurs mélangeurs plutôt statiques que dynamiques et un mélangeur à double voie spécialement conçu. Une fois que la matière est mélangée, elle est pompée dans un injecteur, puis déposée dans un moule. Le processus complet est réalisé dans un environnement sous vide. Le moule dans lequel la matière est pompée est fixé à un passage sous vide qui réduit les probabilités que des bulles d'air restent prisonnières à l'intérieur du moule. Parmi les nouvelles caractéristiques de l'appareil, figurent un mélangeur à double voie et une chambre de prémélange nouvellement conçue.

Abstract: An ion thruster (20) has a hollow cathode assembly (50)
including a heater (72) with an inner ceramic sleeve (52) and
an outer ceramic sleeve (58). The outer ceramic sleeve (58)
overlies the inner ceramic sleeve (52) with a filament volume
(64) between the two sleeves (52, 58). A wound filament (66)
has windings disposed within the filament volume (64), and a
mass of ceramic powder (68) fills the remaining portion of the
filament volume (64) between the windings of the filament (66).
A cathode (76) is disposed within the inner ceramic sleeve (52)
of the heater (72). The heater (72) is assembled by preparing
the filament (66) and forming it into a wound cylinder, and
then encapsulating it and the powder between the inner and the
outer ceramic sleeves (58). The hollow cathode assembly (50)
may serve as a portion of a plasma source (24) or as a portion
of a charge neutralizer (40) (Fig. 3).

Abstract: A method of encoding images (1) including areas (11) of relevant pixels and areas (12) of irrelevant pixels (e.g. a background) is disclosed. The pixels of the irrelevant area are replaced (4) by pseudo-pixels smoothing the transition between said areas. The image thus obtained is subsequently subjected to conventional image coding (5) which now yields considerably fewer bits. At the receiver end, the pseudo-pixels are replaced (9) by predetermined background pixels to reconstruct the original boundaries (13). If the boundary between both areas is not known in advance, the boundary is detected (2), encoded (3) and transmitted to the receiver. The invention is particularly applicable to compression of medical images having circular areas of interest, but may also be used to encode other video images having irrelevant areas such as videophone images in which a head-and-shoulder area constitutes relevant information only. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A data transaction access system for an embedded microprocessor coupled to a PCMCIA bus device. A bus master and a host bus adapter are couple d to a local bus for enabling communication between the bus master and a PCMCIA device. The PCMCIA device is coupled to the host bus adapter via a PCMCIA bus. The bus master uses the local bus to communicate with the PCMCIA device via the host bus adapter. A wait register is coupled to the host bus adapter to receive a delay input from the PCMCIA device describing a latency period of the device when completing a data transaction. Where the latency period described by the delay input is less than a predetermined amount, the host bus adapter is configured to insert wait states into the data transaction of the bus master. When the latency period is greater than the predetermined amount, the host bus adapter is configured to retry the data transaction of the bus master. Alternatively, the wait register is adapted to couple the delay input to the bus master such that the bus master initiates a subsequent access to the PCMCIA device at the expiration of the latency period in order to efficiently complete the subsequent access to the target PCI agent. Alternatively, the wait register is coupled to an arbiter such that the arbiter does not grant the local bus to the bus master for a subsequent access until the expiration of the latency period.

Title: Method of determining thiopurine methyltransferase activity
Inventor: BARSTAD PAUL
IPC: G01N30/88
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of determining thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) activity in a subject. The method includes the steps of reacting sample obtained from the subject with a thiopurine derivative that is not 6-mercaptopurine to produce a methylated purine product; contacting the reacted sample with acid, thereby precipitating proteinaceous material from the reacted sample; separating supernatant from the precipitated proteinaceous material; and detecting in the supernatant the methylated purine product, where the amount of the methylated purine product indicates a level of thiopurine methyltransferase activity in the subject. In a method of the invention, the subject can be, for example, an inflammatory bowel disease patient. In one embodiment, the acid used to precipitate proteinaceous material is perchloric acid, for example, 70% perchloric acid. In another embodiment, the thiopurine derivative used as a substrate is 6-thioguanine. In a further embodiment, the methylated purine product is detected by fluorescence, which can be combined, if desired, with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
