Title: Dect-based radio station
Inventor: LE TORC H ANDRE
IPC: H04M1/72502
Filed: 2000-02-02
Abstract: The radio station has DECT circuitry for processing one or more bit streams to be transmitted over a communication channel divided into successive 10 ms radio frames each having a plurality of timeslots, each bit stream being allocated one of the timeslots in each frame. The DECT circuitry extracts bit sequences from each bit stream and modulates each of the bit sequences to form a respective radio signal burst inserted into a timeslot allocated to the bit stream in accordance with DECT formats. A clock generator, including a crystal oscillator and frequency dividers, produces a first clock signal having a frequency adapted for set the bit rate of each bit stream to 32 kbit/s, and a second clock signal having a frequency adapted for setting the bit rate within each bit sequence to 1,024 kbit/s, whereby the DECT formats remain valid while the channel has a reduced spectral bandwidth.

Title: Plant sterol-emulsifier complexes
Inventor: MILLER MIRANDA
IPC: A23L33/20
Filed: 2000-06-01
Abstract: Plant sterols have been shown to be cholesterol-reducing agents in human serum. In the present invention, plant sterols, plant stanols, plant sterol esters and other non-toxic sterols are co-crystallized with emulsifiers to form a plant sterol/emulsifier complex or plant stanol/emulsifier complex which can be incorporated into full-fat, reduced-fat, low-fat, fat-free and triglyceridefree food products. Plant sterols and plant stanols can be co-crystallized with emulsifiers to produce a blend which has a melting temperature significantly lower than the melting temperature of the plant sterol or plant stanol. Such complexes can be used to incorporate relatively high levels of such sterols/stanols in food products without the adverse organoleptic effect normally associated with the use of such plant sterols and plant stanols.
Patent CA-2310677-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TOBACK F GARY
IPC: C12N5/06
Filed: 1998-05-22
Abstract: Novel growth peptides derived from protein factors having molecular weights of about 22 and 45 kDa stimulate mitogenic activity of epithelial, but not fibroblastic cells, in particular, kidney epithelial cells, both in vitro and in vivo. A source of the factors is scrape-wounded kidney epithelial cells in culture. Synthetic peptides having sixteen amino acids or less, in particular a hexapeptide, Y/CPQGNH maintain the mitogenic activity. The peptide AQPYPQGNHEASYG (14-Ser) is effective in reversing both nephrotoxic and ischemic acute renal failure in rats. The growth-promoting characteristics of the 22 and 45 kDa proteins and the peptides are useful in treating and diagnosing patients with kidney disease. Nucleotide sequences that encode the factor are useful to develop probes to locate similar factors, to identify genetic disorders involving the factor, and to produce the factor by genetic recombinant methods. The nucleotide sequences and fragments thereof, are also useful for diagnosis and treatment of kidney disorders.

Inventor: CUFFARO ANGELO
IPC: H04W24/00
Filed: 1999-02-12
Abstract: Malfunctioning or misbehaving mobile stations (12), that are capable nonetheless of continuing to communicate with a wireless communication system (10), are detected for the purposes of either shutting down misbehaving mobile stations or reporting misbehaving mobile stations so that corrective action can be taken. An error detector and interpreter (23) detect (42) in wireless communication signals received from a mobile station any breach of protocol errors indicative of faulty operation of the mobile station. A misbehavior analyzer (26) analyzes (44) the errors over time to determine whether the mobile station is misbehaving. Normal access of the mobile station to the wireless communication system is shut down (46) or a message is sent to the subscriber in the event the mobile station is determined to be misbehaving.  The mobile station also has a shutdown mode of operation (36), controllable by a message sent from the network, in which the mobile station remains idle and nonfunctional until repaired. The quality of service to subscribers using the wireless communication system is thus improved.

Title: Article comprising improved noble metal-based alloys and method for making the same
Inventor: JIN SUNGHO
IPC: H01H1/00
Filed: 2000-10-10
Abstract: A device having electrical contacts formed from an alloy having improved wear resistance is provided, the alloy being particularly useful in microrelay devices formed by MEMS technology. In one embodiment, the alloys are chosen to allow sufficient precipitation hardening to improve wear resistance, but keep precipitation below a level that would unacceptably reduce electrical conductivity. This is achieved by using alloying materials that have very limited or no solid solubility in the noble metal matrix, e.g., less than 4 wt.% solid solubility. In a second embodiment, an alloy contains a noble metal matrix and insoluble, dispersoid particles having no solubility in the matrix, these dispersoid particles offering a similar strengthening mechanism.

Abstract: In a method for casting prefabricated products in a continuous casting device, having a casting mold and a strand guide downstream of the casting mold, wherein the strand guide has rolls positioned opposite one another in pairs for supporting and guiding the solidifying cast strand, wherein some rolls are drive rolls and others are idle rolls, wherein drives are provided for the drive rolls, and wherein the drive rolls are adjustable against the cast strand in order to transmit guiding forces and strand conveying forces onto the cast strand in interaction with the idle rolls, the drive rolls and the drives are controlled to a preset rotational speed such that the drive rolls have circumferential speeds identical to one another within the limits of a preset casting speed. The motor torques of the drives are maintained at a level as equal as possible below a permissible torque limit value relative to a loadability of the strand shell. For a single drive and corresponding drive roll the permissible torque limit value is measured by continuously increasing the drive torque starting at zero and monitoring the rotational speed of the drive roll, while the remaining drive rolls are controlled to a preset nominal casting speed. For a superproportional increase of the rotational speed, the torque limit value is determined and the process is stopped.
