Title: Pressurized high temperature polymerization process
Inventor: GRADY MICHAEL CHARLES
IPC: C09D/
Filed: 2004-07-01
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a novel high temperature polymerization process operating at high pressures for producing a polymer. The process includes conveying hybrid reactor mixtures, which include one or more hybrid reactor monomers and one or more hybrid reactor initiators to one or more hybrid reactors. The hybrid reactors are maintained at effective hybrid polymerization temperatures and sub-reflux polymerization gage pressures to cause polymerization of a portion of the hybrid reactor monomers into the polymer. The process further includes conveying hybrid reactor contents from the hybrid reactors to one or more batch reactors maintained at effective batch polymerization temperatures and reflux polymerization pressures to cause polymerization of a remaining portion of the hybrid reactor monomers into the polymer. The hybrid reactors are smaller in volume than the batch reactors. By utilizing the hybrid/batch reactor combination, the process of the present invention can be operated under safe working conditions. The process of the present invention also allows control of the polydispersity and molecular weight of the resulting polymers. As a result, the polymers made therefrom can be used as binders in compositions, such as coating compositions used in the automotive refinish and OEM applications having desired coating properties.  The present invention is also directed to a polymerization system used in the process of the present invention.

Title: System and method for coverage analysis in a wireless network
Inventor: GAZZOLA JAMES PETER
IPC: H04W16/18
Filed: 2005-11-28
Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for coverage analysis in a wireless network. The invention seeks to evaluate the location and characteristics of a proposed base station in a wireless communication network, prior to the base station being erected. Data is collected from both: a test transmitter of known characteristics, erected at the proposed location for the proposed base station; and from a plurality of wireless channels of the existing network. The data may be collected at a plurality of measurement locations. The collected data is used to model and subsequently evaluate the behaviour of the network in the presence of channels that would be introduced into the network if the new base station were erected. Modeled data may include estimates of signal to noise ratios for various wireless channels for both existing base stations and the proposed base station, at the measurement location. The model data may be displayed on a GUI, depicting modeled signal characteristics in a geographical area surrounding the proposed base station, to estimate overall acceptability of a proposed base station at a proposed location before incurring the cost of installing the base station.

Title: System for recording an object space
Inventor: REICHERT RAINER
IPC: G01S17/89
Filed: 2004-11-15
Abstract: A system for recording an object space has an opto-electronic distance sensor which uses a signal propagation time method, and a transmitter for transmitting optical, in particular laser signals, as well as a receiver (E) for receiving optical signals, in particular laser beams, reflected by objects located in the target space. The system also comprises a scanner for deflecting the optical axes of the transmitter and receiver (S and E), preferably in two orthogonal directions. The optical axes of the transmitter and receiver (S and E) are substantially parallel. An evaluation system determines distance values from the propagation time or phase position of the transmitted optical signals, and the space co-ordinates of the individual data elements result from the distance values and the beam deflection implemented by the scanner. The system comprises a rotary measurement head (8) mounted by means of a hollow shaft (33, 34) on a pillow block (21, 22, 24), and a mirror system (41, 42) fixed relative to the measurement head (8) and which deflects beams axially incident on the hollow shaft (33, 34) in the radial direction and vice versa. The radiation from a stationary transmitter (S) can be introduced in the axial direction relative to the hollow shaft (33, 34) and be transmitted in the radial direction through the mirror system (41, 42). The radiation reflected by the targets located in the object space, however, can be deflected by the mirror system (41, 42) in the direction of the axis of the hollow shaft (8, 33, 34) and be supplied to the receiver (E), which is also stationary.

Abstract: Cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an integral part of the innate immune system. Cathelicidin and defensin homologs from a variety of species exhibit broad-range bactericidal activity. The human cathelicidin analog, hCAP18, is encoded by the CAMP gene. Vitamin D3 and its analogs upregulate transcription of CAMP and defensin ~2 (defB2) genes, leading to increased expression of hCAP18 mRNA and defB2. Induction of CAMP was observed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), immortalized keratinocyte and colon cancer cell lines, as well as normal human bone marrow (BM)-derived macrophages and fresh BM  cells. The present invention provides methods of inducing cathelicidin production by administering Vitamin D3 or Vitamin D3 analogs, as well as methods of treating skin infections and infections of the colon, sepsis and wound healing, preventing bacterial growth on skin grafts, promoting angiogenesis, and promoting chemoattraction by administering Vitamin D3 or Vitamin D3 analogs to upregulate cathelicidin and defensin expression.
