Abstract: A stable resonator for a ring-down cavity spectroscopy cell having an optic axis. The resonator includes two Brewster's angle retroreflector prisms, each having a plurality of total internal reflection surfaces. The prisms are disposed in alignment along the optic axis of the resonator. One or both of the prisms can be rotated so that light rays enter and leave a surface of the prism nearly at Brewster's angle to the normal of the prism surface. This feature maintains alignment between the prisms and allows the resonator to be tuned. One of the total internal reflection surfaces of at least one of the prisms may be a curved surface (either a ground curved surface or a surface curved by the addition, through optically contacting or gluing, of a plano-convex lens to the surface). Alternatively, an astigmatic lens may be centered in one arm of the resonator and tilted at Brewster's angle with respect to the optic axis of the resonator. In a preferred embodiment, each of the prisms has an apex angle of about 135~ minus Brewster's angle, a second of about 90~, and a third angle of about 135~ minus two times Brewster's angle.

Abstract: The present invention is an efficient and improved dynamic home agent discovery algorithm and system to be used in a protocol for Internet or network communications. The present efficient and improved dynamic home agent discovery algorithm and system for a protocol more efficiently uses the wireless access, communications resources, and the network resources. If a failure or error occurs at a home agent, the efficient and improved dynamic home agent discovery algorithm and system provide recovery or backup home agent services to the mobile node(s) associated or coupled to the failed home agent. The efficient dynamic home agent discovery algorithm and system encapsulate and integrate communications of the home agents into a single home agent communication. Communication between the mobile node and the home agents is simplified to a single home agent communication. Dynamic home agent discovery processes are performed based on the single home agent communication.      Encapsulation is achieved by having each of the home agents maintain a home agent list that contains information about each of the home agents coupled to the home link. Heart beat messages are used to communicate the information between each of the home agents. A designated home agent for the home agents receives and processes a single home agent discovery request from the mobile node, and a designated home agent for the home agents sends home agent advertisement and communicates and processes a single home agent discovery request to the mobile node.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une composition de préconcentré pour microémulsion constituée essentiellement de cyclosporine (1) qui est le principe actif, d'un solvant lipophile (2), en l'occurrence un alkylester d'acide polycarboxylique et/ou d'ester d'acide polycarboxylique de polyols, d'huile (3) et d'un agent tensio-actif (4). La composition, selon la présente invention, est caractérisée en ce qu'elle se dissout dans une phase externe telle que l'eau, un fluide gastrique artificiel et un fluide intestinal artificiel, en régulant le rapport de mélange des composants de façon à amener à 100 nm au plus le diamètre de la forme microémulsion de la phase intérieure. La composition selon la présente invention peut se formuler sous la forme de dosage d'une capsule molle, d'une capsule dure fermée par de la gélatine au niveau de la zone de conjugaison, ou sous la forme d'une préparation liquide orale pour l'administration par voie orale. En outre, lorsque la composition de la présente invention est formulée sous forme de capsule molle, cette capsule ne présente pas les inconvénients des capsules selon l'état antérieur de la technique tels que la réactivité du solvant hydrophile avec l'enveloppe de gélatine de la capsule molle et la volatilité du solvant hydrophile. Et ceci, parce que les brevets existants utilisent un solvant hydrophile comme composant essentiel de leur compositions, alors que la présente invention n'utilise aucun solvant hydrophile.

Title: Sample collection and processing device
Inventor: MARTIN WERNER
IPC: G01N30/18
Filed: 2000-08-22
Abstract: A volume-adjusting insert for sample vessels comprises an elongated body with a septum seal on one end and a seal surface on the outside of the body. A through- chamber in the body provides a receiving chamber for a hypodermic needle inserted into the septum. The seal surface of the insert defines a reduced-volume sample chamber comprising the through-chamber and the vessel chamber portion of the sample vessel below the insert, or alternatively, below the seal surface. Sample fluid injected into, or withdrawn from, the insert communicates with the through-chamber and the lower vessel chamber. The device is particularly useful in converting muti-well microplates to low sample-volume vessels for automated sampling and testing, and allows the hydraulic pressure generated by a hypodermic needle to transport the sample fluid through the sample vessel and out of a bottom-extraction element.

Title: Apportioning bandwidth capacity in communication switching systems
Inventor: HEATWOLE ANTONY
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 2001-07-05
Abstract: An approach for allocating system capacity of a communication switching system for exchange of traffic is disclosed. The system includes multiple terminals that request allocations of system capacity. The capacity is partitioned into a provisioned portion and an unprovisioned portion, in which a portion of the terminals constitutes a pool having a plurality of sub-pools. According to one embodiment, a control computer communicates with the plurality of terminals and allocates the provisioned portion of the capacity to the plurality of sub-pools of the terminals. The provisioned portion of the capacity is arranged into sub-partitions, wherein one of the sub-partitions is not associated with the sub-pools of terminals. Remaining sub-partitions are associated with the sub-pools of terminals. The control computer selectively allocates available capacity from the sub-partitions to one of the sub-pool terminals to permit overflow of traffic from the one sub-pool terminal, and selectively allocates the unprovisioned portion of the capacity to the pool to permit overflow of traffic from a terminal within the pool and to a terminal that is not a part of the pool of terminals.
