Granted: 2003-01-23
Abstract: A wide band radio transmission method, apparatus and computer readable medium for transmitting bit streams of a video-related application through a radio channel are provided. The wide band radio transmission method comprises the steps of: (a) obtaining identification information on a video-related application which is executed in a user layer, from the user layer; (b) obtaining information on at least one of channel characteristics and a decoding state from a physical layer; and (c) deciding on a quality of service (QoS) level with reference to the identification information and the information on at least one of the channel characteristics and the decoding state from the physical layer. The wide band radio transmission method can efficiently support video-related applications such as applications of the H.324M standard, the H.323 standard, the H.320 standard, and the MPEG-4 standard. Also, negotiations on video services having different quality of service (QoS) levels can be performed, and then, optimum video services considering channel characteristics can be provided.

Title: Self-broaching, rotatable, push-in interbody fusion implant and method for deployment thereof
Inventor: MICHELSON GARY K
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 1999-10-29
Granted: 2001-12-13
Abstract: An interbody spinal fusion implant (20) for insertion across a disc space between adjacent vertebral bodies of a human spine has a body (22) two top side and two bottom side junctions, with at least a pair of diagonally opposed junctions having a distance therebetween that does not significantly exceed the implant body height. The implant (20) also includes one or more bone penetrating protrusions (36) extending outwardly from at least the upper and lower walls of the implant. The implant (20) is inserted on its side (28,28') between adjacent vertebral bodies and then rotated 90 degrees into place. The protrusions (36) penetrate the endplates upon rotation, thereby securing the implant (36) within the spine. The implant (20) has at least one passage (38,38') therethrough from the upper wall (30) to the lower wall (30') to promote fusion through the implant (20). Because of the specialized opposed junctions overdistraction between the adjacent vertebral bodies is avoided when the implant (20) is rotated from an initial insertion position to a final deployed position. <IMAGE>

Title: Shunt connected superconducting energy stabilizing system
Inventor: KIM SANG H
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 1992-06-05
Granted: 1994-03-10
Abstract: A shunt connected energy stabilizing system with isolation switching for providing stored energy to loads or to a utility or industrial electrical distribution system or source of electrical power. An energy backup and recovery system stores energy in a superconducting magnet and releases the energy to a real power/reactive power (VARs) generator which in turn delivers energy to either the loads or to both the loads and the source of electrical power. During periods of voltage sag or power outage, an isolation switch provide a means for isolating the loads from the source of power so that energy can be supplied to the loads only to provide "ride-thru". In effect, the isolation of the load sheds this load from the power system, thereby boosting the rest of the electrical distribution to a level so that other loads on the power system are not disturbed by the voltage sags. By supplying energy to the loads only, small superconducting magnets can be used thereby providing economic and size advantages. <IMAGE>

Title: Four-way air flow induced draft cross flow cooling tower
Inventor: KAUFFMANN MARK A
IPC: F28F21/06
Filed: 1988-08-10
Granted: 1991-05-09
Abstract: A crossflow cooling tower (10) has a number of fill structure sections (46) which are arranged at equally spaced intervals around the entire perimeter of a central plenum (52) that receives generally horizontal currents of air simultaneously from all of the fill structure sections (46) and causes the air to be discharged in an upwardly direction out of the tower (10). In one embodiment, the tower (10) is provided with four upright fill structure sections (46) disposed in a square arrangement in horizontal view, and a number of the towers (10) may be located adjacent each other in a side-by-side diamond-like arrangement so that each air inlet face (48) of each tower (10) readily communicates with the atmosphere. Both the hot water distribution basin (14) and the cold water distribution basin (16) are formed as integrally molded, one-piece components, and four upright air baffle corner supports (56) carry the weight of adjacent fill structure sections (46) as well as the load presented by the overhead hot water basin (14), thereby minimizing the need for additional supporting members, bracing or casings to provide necessary structural integrity.

Title: Follistatin and method of purifying same
Inventor: LING NICHOLAS CHAI-KWAN
IPC: A61K38/04
Filed: 1988-08-26
Granted: 1992-02-20
Abstract: Two follistatin proteins with inhibin-like activity were isolated from porcine follicular fluid using heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography, followed by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 and then six steps of high-performance liquid chromatography. Each isolated molecule is a monomer having a molecular weight of at least about 32,000 daltons. Microsequencing revealed the NH2-terminal portions both to be Gly-Asn-Cys-Trp-Leu-Arg-Gln-Ala-Lys-Asn-Gly-Arg-Cys-Gln-Val-Leu. The larger protein has 315 residues and is believed to be glycosylated. The smaller protein is a 288-residue, C-terminally shortened version thereof. These proteins specifically inhibit basal secretion of FSH, but not of LH, in a rat anterior pituitary monolayer culture system. The Half-maximal effective dose for both is 2.5-6.0 ng/ml. Human and rat follistatins exhibit very high homology with the porcine protein, with the human differing from porcine in only 4 residues out of 315 and with the rat differing from porcine in only 8 residues out of 315.

Title: Method and communications network for transmitting facsimile signals
Inventor: GILLON ALEXANDER CARLYLE
IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 1990-02-08
Granted: 1991-04-26
Abstract: This invention relates to an arrangement for efficiently transmitting facsimile signals from a facsimile source to a facsimile destination using a standard facsimile user interface. The connected switched communications network recognizes that the call is from a facsimile source or to a facsimile destination and causes the facsimile signals to be transmitted at the transmission speed of the source to storage in a network. Subsequently, the signals are transmitted from storage to a facsimile destination at the transmission speed of the destination when the destination becomes available. Advantageously, the source need not wait for the destination to become available before transmitting, and the transmission can take place at a bit rate that matches the source and the destination even when these bit rates are different. Retransmission because of errors in one link is only required for that link, i.e., from the source to the storage or from the storage to the destination. Advantageously, this is accomplished without changing the very simple user interface of prior art facsimile transceivers.

Granted: 1983-09-22
Abstract: A time switch (100) comprises terminals (110) spaced around a slip ring (108) connected to a voltage source (V). A motor (104) drives a brush (102) to sequentially connect the terminals (110) to the slip ring (108) to energise the terminals in sequence. Each terminal (110) - as shown for one of them designated 112 - is connected via a respective transistor (116) and manually operable switch (124) to a pair of common output conductors or bus-bars (130, 132), whereby for each successive period of time corresponding to each successive terminal (110) being energised the conductors (130, 132) are energised in accordance with the setting of a respective one of the switches. Thus, a desired time-varying pattern of energisation of the conductors (130, 132) to accomplish a control function, e.g. the control of a central heating system to provide different heat outputs at different times of the day, can be set up at will simply by adjusting the various switches (124).
