Title: Body coating composition
Inventor: ABRAHAMSON MICHAEL
IPC: A61K8/88
Filed: 2000-03-21
Granted: 2004-03-16
Abstract: A fluorescent and/or phosphorescent coating composition, particularly useful as a body coating, hair coating, lipstick and particularly as a phosphorescent nail polish that has the capability of changing from transparent, or other color, in light to a phosphorescing or fluorescing composition upon the withdrawal of light. The composition, e.g., nail polish, will return to its original color, as originally perceived by a human eye, as soon as light again contacts and is absorbed by the phosphorescent or fluorescent composition. The nail polish of the present invention is capable of undergoing a reversible chemical change upon the withdrawal of light without altering its physical properties.

Title: Network router search engine using compressed tree forwarding table
Inventor: LIPMAN MICHAEL E
IPC: H04L45/74
Filed: 2000-02-23
Granted: 2007-04-24
Abstract: Network routing apparatus employs multi-level tree data structures in a centralized routing table (144, 146, 148) and in distributed forwarding tables (150, 152, 154, 158, 160). Each level of each structure is associated with a different field of a network address appearing in received packets. Pointers in each structure are used to identify either an address of a next hop network, or a next-level tree to be examined for a next-hop address. An uncompressed tree routing table uses directly addressed trees in order to simplify the storage and retrieval of pointers, and the next-tree pointers directly identify next trees. Compressed tree forwarding tables are generated from the uncompressed routing table by reducing the number of pointers stored at one or more levels to substantially the number of unique next hop addresses associated with network addresses at that level. A single mapping table maps pointer values at one level to the locations of trees at the next level in the compressed trees. Next hop address lookup logic (50, 52, 76, 78) performs lookups in accordance with the structure of the compressed trees. Also, the lookup logic stores and selectively operates on multiple forwarding tables in order to provide support for virtual router operation.

Abstract: A system conducts anonymous negotiations and supports indications-of-interest in trading stock. The system includes a database for storing public orders received from a public stock trading system; and a server for receiving hidden orders from a plurality of users and for conducting anonymous negotiations between first and second users with the hidden orders. The server repeatedly accesses the database to determine a match of any one of the hidden orders with any one of the public orders, and to execute a pair of orders selected from the hidden orders and the public orders. The system also transmits indications of interest (IOIs) into a trading environment using the server for processing a trading order from a first user and for maintaining a profile of a user. The profile includes a current IOI setting for controlling transmission of the IOI from the user.  The server responds to a toggle command from the first user to control transmission of the IOI  opposite to the current IOI setting. The server responds to the IOI setting being set to allow transmission by transmitting the IOI of the first user associated with the trading order.

Title: Reducing polymerization stress by controlled segmental curing
Inventor: HAMMESFAHR PAUL D
IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 2001-03-15
Granted: 2011-05-17
Abstract: A photopolymerizable material is exposed to light to effect curing. A portion of the material is exposed to light in a conventional manner, while at least one other portion of the material is masked from direct exposure to the light by use of a mask (10) having at least one mask segment (11) which either completely or at least partially blocks the light. In this manner, the polymerization stress associated with the cured materials is limited or minimized due to extended molecular relaxation promoted by this controlled or hybrid curing technique. Also according to the invention, different segments (30, 31) of a material to be cured (22) are exposed to different wavelengths of light energy (21) or one such segment (30, 31) is exposed to light energy while another such segment is not.

Filed: 2000-12-06
Granted: 2011-02-08
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating or preventing allergic responses, particularly anaphylactic allergic responses, in subjects who are allergic to allergens or susceptible to allergies. Methods of the present invention utilize administration of microorganisms to subjects, where the microorganisms produce allergens and protect the subjects from exposure to the allergens until phagocytosed by antigen-presenting cells. Particularly preferred microorganisms are gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, and yeast. Particularly preferred allergens are proteins found in foods, venoms, drugs and latex that elicit allergic reactions and anaphylactic allergic reactions in individuals who are allergic to the proteins or are susceptible to allergies to the proteins. The proteins may also be modified to reduce the ability of the proteins to bind and crosslink IgE antibodies and thereby reduce the risk of eliciting anaphylaxis without affecting T-cell mediated Th1-type immunity.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for mounting a valve stem to the rim of an automotive vehicle wheel includes rims being supplied in series by a conveyor to a gauging station where the type and/or size of the rim and the location and alignment of an aperture for receiving the valve stem is determined by a machine vision system. An electronic control system directs a robotic manipulator to grasp either the valve stem or the rim, move the valve stem or the rim to a mounting station, position the valve stem or the rim with respect to the other such that the aperture in the rim is in coaxial alignment with the valve stem, and insert the valve stem through the aperture in the rim. If necessary, a power- actuated nut runner, mounted on the robotic manipulator or adjacent the mounting station, is used to tighten a nut over the valve stem. As an alternative to the machine vision system, the gauging station can use a rotating table which rotates the wheel about a central axis, and an "electric eye" optical sensor directing a beam of infrared light onto the rim. As the rim rotates through the beam, the presence or lack of a reflection of the light beam is used to detect the location of the aperture, and rotation of the table is stopped when the aperture is in alignment with the beam. A probe mounted on the gauging station can be extended to project into the aperture to confirm that the aperture is at the desired position and reposition the rim slightly to provide a precise positioning of the aperture.
