Title: Green tea wine
Inventor: FOLKES LORRAINE A
IPC: A23F3/16
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: I have invented a process for making wine out of dried green tea leaves . First a must is made by steeping the correct quantity of green tea leaves in water that has been boiled. The correct amount of sugar is added; then the must is left to infus e and cool to a temperature at which it is safe to add yeast and the other ingredients which go into the making of wine. Green tea is 'green' because the leaves (unlike black tea) have not go throu gh a fermentation process before they are dried. Therefore, it is important that the yeast be added only after the green tea has been infused with boiled water and the must is made. This will ensure that all the benefits of green tea are still in the wine - antioxidants, etc. The product is light and refreshing, as green tea is meant to be, but with t he added distinction of it being "Green Tea Wine."

Title: Container lid with improved pouring features, and related method
Inventor: LUBURIC FRANO
IPC: B65D47/12
Filed: 2003-03-03
Abstract: A container includes first and second intersecting surfaces, and has at least one tearstrip opening to permit access to the contents of the container. The opening is positioned substantially at the intersection of those surfaces to permit drainage of substantially all of the contents of the container through the opening formed upon tearing of the tearstrip. Where the intersection is formed by a lid and a container wall, the lid has an outermost edge and the opening is positioned sufficiently near to the outermost edge to permit the desired drainage but also either does not tear the outermost edge (because the opening is sufficiently inwardly from the outermost edge) or does not destroy the hoop strength of a downwardly-depending hoop flange formed at the outermost edge. A plurality of such tearstrips may be provided and may be spaced from each other to provide pouring and/or venting in a variety of directions.  The tearstrips may be provided with tab members to assist in their removal from the lid, and may be retained on the lid or completely removable depending upon the application. A shroud element protects the tearstrips from inadvertent dislodgment, and a resealing element closes the opening after removal of the tearstrip. A preferred method of use of the container lid is disclosed.

Title: Apparatus and method for controlling transmission power in a mobile communication system
Inventor: OH JEONG-TAE
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2002-07-10
Abstract: An apparatus and method for maximizing the efficiency of a power amplifier by reducing the PAPR of a BS in a mobile communication system. A power controller between I and Q channel pulse shaping filters and a frequency converter calculates cancellation signals for signal pulses that increase the PAPR at each sampling period, pulse-shape-filters cancellation signals at the highest levels among the cancellation signals, and adds the filtered cancellation signals to the original signals. Thus, spectral regrowth outside a signal frequency band is suppressed. In the case of a system supporting multiple frequency allocations, the PAPR is controlled for each FA according to its service class. Therefore, minimum system performance is ensured and power use efficiency is increased.

Patent CA-2428409-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAGLID KLAS C
IPC: F24F11/04
Filed: 2003-05-09
Abstract: The ventilator system and method use a heat exchanger to selectively transfer heat between fresh outside air entering and exhaust air leaving an enclosed space whenever energy can be recovered from the exhaust air by doing so. The system uses a microprocessor-based controller which stores one or more profiles indicating the time-varying needs of the enclosed space for heating and cooling. The transfer of heat between the exhaust and fresh air is reduced or eliminated simply by reducing the speed of or stopping the exhaust air handler while the fresh air handler continues to run. Evaporative cooling for the exhaust air can be provided, and an all-plastic plate type heat exchanger preferably is used, together with an air handler at the exhaust outlet of the heat exchanger to pull exhaust air through the heat exchanger.

Title: Efficiently releasing locks when an exception occurs
Inventor: STOODLEY MARK G
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2003-05-30
Abstract: Repetitive synchronization in program code is optimized through lock coarsening that is performed subject to a number of constraints. Using a forward pass over the program code followed by a backward pass, region extent bits may be determined that identify the points in the program where object locking can be coarsened. The program code may then be modified to realize coarsened locking regions determined based on the region extent bits. Alternatively, previously determined value numbers may provide much of the information collected by the two passes. In such a case, a single pass over the program code may locate features that limit lock coarsening opportunities. A  set of synchronization operations that can be removed may then be determined and used when modifying the program code to coarsen locking regions.

Title: Liquid distributor in mass transfer column and method of installation and use
Inventor: ENDER CHRISTOPH
IPC: B01D3/00
Filed: 2002-04-10
Abstract: A mass transfer column is provided with a liquid distributor that distributes liquid to an underlying mass transfer bed containing one or more random, grid or structured packing elements. The liquid distributor includes a plurality of elongated troughs that are spaced apart and extend across the column. A  plurality of liquid discharge holes are positioned in side walls of the trough and are located in one or more preselected planes that are preferably spaced above a floor of the trough. Splash baffles are spaced outwardly from the trough side walls and include upper portions that are positioned to receive liquid exiting the troughs through the discharge holes. Lower portions of the splash baffles form a constricted discharge outlet in a plane below the trough for delivering liquid from the splash baffles to the underlying mass transfer bed. The liquid discharge holes in one of the trough side walls are offset from those in the other trough side wall to provide a uniform distribution of liquid to the discharge outlet. The splash baffles are vertically adjustable and are intended to be supported on the upper surface of the mass transfer bed so that the discharged liquid is delivered directly to the mass transfer bed, thereby reducing the opportunity for the falling liquid to become entrained in a vapor stream flowing upwardly through teh mass transfer bed. The liquid exiting through the discharge outlet preferably forms a curtain-like flow that blocks or impedes vapor entry upwardly into the discharge outlet. Any vapor that enters the discharge area is able to vent upwardly through the open spacing between the baffles and the associated troughs at a reduced velocity, thereby reducing the opportunity for liquid entrainment. The open spacing also permits any overflow of liquid from the troughs to be captured by the splash baffles for downward flow along the inner faces of the splash baffles.

Title: Method for laser beam-assisted application of metal ions in glass for producing colorless and color pixels
Inventor: RAINER THOMAS
IPC: C03C21/00
Filed: 2002-04-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for laser-assisted charging of metal ions by ion exchange and diffusion and for inner engraving of glass with color. Colorless pixels with a modified refractive index in relation to the surroundings and color pixels, for instance silver yellow and copper ruby, c an be produced with the aid of the inventive method. The processes required for producing the metal particles that provoke glass coloring such as ion exchan ge and diffusion of metal ions in the glass, their reduction to atoms and the aggregation of atoms into metal particles are carried out in a locally limit ed manner by performing locally limited heating. To this end, the glass to be colored is covered with a film printed with flat, printable diffusion colors and the covered surface of the glass is locally heated with a focused laser beam. Metal particles appear in the heated areas and, hence, color pixels appear on the glass without damaging or melting the latter. Laser radiation can also be controlled in such a way that only ion exchange and diffusion of the exchanged ions takes place in the glass in a locally limited manner and colorless pixels appear. The pixels can be used for glass markings, engravin gs and decoration but also for producing passive optical elements, for example, transmission grids.
