Title: A process for the production and purification of succinic acid
Inventor: GLASSNER DAVID A
IPC: C07C55/10
Filed: 1990-02-09
Granted: 1992-07-30
Abstract: A process for producing and purifying succinic acid comprises growing a succinate salt-producing microorganism on an inexpensive substrate containing carbohydrate, other nutrients, sodium ions and tryptophan under a CO2 partial pressure until most of the carbohydrate is converted to succinate. The fermentation broth is then electrodialyzed to recover and concentrate the succinate salt in an aqueous stream which is subjected to water-splitting electrodialysis to form base and a succinic acid product. The resulting succinic acid product is treated first with a strongly acidic ion exchanger in the acid form to remove any sodium or other cations and then treated with a weakly basic ion exchanger in the free base form to remove any sulfate ions or sulfuric acid and to obtain a highly purified succinic acid product.

Title: Establishing a packet network call between a mobile terminal device and an interworking function
Inventor: LIOY MARCELLO
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-06-06
Granted: 2004-02-26
Abstract: A method or system establishes a packet network call over a transmission link extending between a mobile terminal device and an interworking function which comprises a gateway or bridge connection to a network, such as a packet network. The transmission link connects the mobile terminal device to a wireless communication device over a first interface and further connects the wireless communication device to the interworking function over a second interface via a wireless link to a base station. The packet network call, once established, comprises a first interface data link formed within a predetermined data link layer across the first interface and a second interface data link formed within the predetermined data link layer across the second interface. A flow control is asserted and deasserted on the mobile terminal device. During the flow control, the wireless communication device performs a link control protocol negotiation with the interworking function to establish the second interface data link with the interworking function. After the second interface data link is established, and during the flow control, the wireless communication device performs a network control protocol negotiation with the interworking function to establish a second interface network link carried by the second interface data link. This results in an IP address being assigned to identify the mobile terminal device. After the second interface data link is established, the mobile terminal device performs a link control protocol negotiation with the wireless communication device to establish the first interface data link with the wireless communication device. After the first interface data link and the second interface network link are each established, the mobile terminal device performs a network control protocol negotiation with the wireless communication device to establish a first interface network link carried by the first interface data link, using an IP address obtained from a network control protocol negotiation with the interworking function.

Title: Implementation of call setup procedures with separation of call control and bearer control
Inventor: STUMPERT MARTIN
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 2000-07-15
Granted: 2003-09-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to enabling and optimizing call setup in a telecommunication network with separated call control and bearer control, i.e., payload transmission. The separation of call control and payload transmission means that the signaling between control nodes like MSCs, GMSCs and TSCs takes a different route through the network than the payload. This enables the telecommunication network to perform an optimal routing for the payload, using a minimum of resources. Depending on the call case, originating call, terminating call, internal call or transit call, there are only one or maximally two MGW necessary.
