Title: A system and method for acoustic fingerprinting
Inventor: WARD SEAN
IPC: G10L17/00
Filed: 2002-03-13
Abstract: A method for quickly and accurately identifying a digital file (102), specifically one that represents an audio file. The identification can be used for tracking royalty payments to copyright owners. A database stores features of various audio files and a globally unique identifier (GUID) for each file.  Advantageously, the method allows a database to be updated in the case of a new audio file by storing its features and generating a new unique identifier for the new file. The file is sampled to generate a fingerprint (106) that is used to determine if the file matched a file stored in the database (108).  Advantageously, any label used for the work is automatically updated if it appears to be in error.

Abstract: A process for deacidifying single strength juice, including not from concentrate (NFC) juice, uses an ion-exchange column. The process includes flowing water into the resin column and draining a fraction of the water fro m the column to create a head space in the column above the resin beads. Singl e strength juice is then introduced into the head space and into the resin column. Water is drained from the column until an SOI criterium is met. Sing le strength juice continues to be introduced into the resin column and treated liquid is directed to the production of deacidified single strength juice, typically until such time as the acidity of the treated liquid exceeds a pre - determined value. Treated single strength juice is removed from the resin column to create a head space in the column. Water then is introduced into t he head space and liquid passes through the exit port.

IPC: B29C39/02
Filed: 2002-09-17
Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for making a polymeric article mold, a method for making a polymeric article with that mold, and improved surface topography features for a polymeric article. A prototype article is formed a nd then coated with a thin conductive layer. The coated prototype article is th en electroformed until nickel plated to a sufficient depth to define a nickel plating tool. After the prototype article has been removed from the mold fac e of the nickel tool, the tool can be used as a mold for forming finished polymeric articles which replicate the original prototype article. The use o f fine topography features such as a dense upstanding stem array on the surfac e of the prototype article facilitates accurate and complete electroforming by increased surface area presentation. The disclosure also presents improvemen ts to microreplicated surface structures such as stem arrays. The improvements include the formation on a stem array having separate zones of stems of differing heights, and the formation of directional microreplicated features (e.g., stems) which are oriented and shaped to promote or restrict frictiona l interaction in one or more particular directions.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à une buse d'atomisation (22) à triple flux utilisée avec un rinceur de réhumidification. Ladite buse présente un diviseur de flux d'air séparant l'air atomisant de la source en trois flux. Le premier flux est un flux d'air droit situé le plus près d'un jet d'eau atomisée et autour de celui-ci. Le second flux est un tourbillon s'écoulant autour du premier flux droit. Le troisième flux est aussi un flux droit qui enveloppe le premier flux droit et le second tourbillon. Ladite buse (22) comprend également une chambre (74) de mélange, dans laquelle les trois flux d'air sont mélangés à des fins d'atomisation. La combinaison des trois flux d'air permet à ladite buse de produire de fines gouttelettes d'eau appropriées pour un rinceur de réhumidification de papier et, ce qui est plus important, elle crée un profil de masse d'eau modulable. Le profil de masse peut être modulé en une forme similaire à une forme carrée, ce qui est idéal pour des rinceurs de réhumidification, étant donné qu'un profil carré crée un couplage minimum entre des zones adjacentes.

Title: Tissue specific genes and gene clusters
Inventor: JAY GILBERT
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-04-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to genes and genes clusters which are expressed in a tissue specific manner. For example, the invention relates to a group of genes encoding GPCR-like receptors that are involved in the function and activity of the immune system. These genes are organized into a discrete cluster at chromosomal location 1q22 (the ~immune gene complex~) and span about 700 kb of DNA. The region closest to the centromere comprises genes that are expressed predominantly in the thymus, while the distal region comprises genes which are expressed predominantly in the bone marrow and other hematopoietic cells. Another cluster of GPCR genes is located at chromosomal band 11q24. These genes are expressed predominantly in pancreatic tissue, establishing this region of chromosome 11 as a unique gene complex involved in pancreatic function. A cluster of transmembrane and GPCR-type receptor genes is also located at chromosomal band 11q12.2. These genes are expressed predominantly in the spleen (hence, ~spleen gene~ cluster), as well as other tissues of the immune and reticuloendothelial system (RES), indicating that establishing this region of the chromosome is involved is spleen, lymphoid, and/or reticuloendothelial function. Finally, genes coding for membrane proteins have been identified which are expressed selectively in bone marrow, kidney, pancreas, and retina.
