Title: On-demand overlay routing for computer-based communication networks
Inventor: RICCIULLI LIVIO
IPC: H04L45/28
Filed: 2000-06-16
Granted: 2008-05-06
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for dynamically discovering and utilizing an optimized network path through overlay routing for the transmission of data. A determination whether to use a default network path or to instead use an alternate data forwarding path through one or more overlay nodes is based on real-time measurement of costs associated with the alternative paths, in response to a user request for transmission of message data to a destination on the network. Cost metrics include delay, throughput, jitter, loss, and security. The system chooses the best path among the default forwarding path and the multiple alternate forwarding paths, and implements appropriate control actions to force data transmission along the chosen path. No modification of established network communication protocols is required.

Title: Thermal synthesis apparatus and method
Inventor: DETERING BRENT A
IPC: C01B32/40
Filed: 2002-10-21
Granted: 2007-07-10
Abstract: An apparatus for thermal conversion of one or more reactants to desired end products includes an insulated reactor chamber having a high temperature heater such as a plasma torch at its inlet end and, optionally, a restrictive convergent- divergent nozzle at its outlet end. In a thermal conversion method, reactants are injected upstream from the reactor chamber and thoroughly mixed with the plasma stream before entering the reactor chamber. The reactor chamber has a reaction zone that is maintained at a substantially uniform temperature. The resulting heated gaseous stream is then rapidly cooled by passage through the nozzle, which "freezes" the desired end product(s) in the heated equilibrium reaction stage, or is discharged through an outlet pipe without the convergent-divergent nozzle. The desired end products are then separated from the gaseous stream.

Abstract: A process for making poly(urethane-urea)/addition polymer composite particles which avoids the need to use a highly viscous solution of a prepolymer for the poly(urethane-urea). The process comprises dissolving diol and diisocyanate in addition polymerisable monomers and allowing them to co-react but for only long enough to form a precursor for the prepolymer which is of a lower molecular weight than the prepolymer so that the precursor forms a solution of much lower viscosity. This lower viscosity solution is then dispersed in water to give droplets in which the co-reaction continues and completes the formation of the prepolymer whilst water diffuses into the droplets and causes chain extension to create the poly(urethane-urea) particles. The addition polymerisable monomers in the dispersed droplets spontaneously diffuse into the poly(urethane-urea) particles where they are subjected to a conventional free radical addition polymerisation process whereupon composite the poly(urethane-urea)/addition polymer particles are formed. The composite particles can be obtained as stable aqueous dispersions optionally containing less than 3wt % organic solvent and over 40wt % of the composite particles.

Title: Procede servant a ameliorer la resolution de vitesses d'ondes elastiques par isolation d'un evenement ondulatoire dans une formation lithographique

Abstract: Selon l'invention, des données de diagraphie acoustique sont obtenues au moyen d'un procédé d'un instrument de diagraphie comprenant au moins un émetteur et une pluralité de récepteurs (101). Une inversion de mise en correspondance de formes d'ondes est accomplie pour donner des profils de lenteur des ondes traversant des formations à différentes résolutions comprises entre la longueur totale du réseau de récepteurs et celle obtenue avec l'espacement séparant les récepteurs du réseau (105). En utilisant des sous-réseaux se chevauchant à ouverture réduite on obtient une meilleure résolution. Cette amélioration est obtenue par minimisation des effets de contamination acoustique et par maximisation de redondance des informations dans les données de formes d'ondes (109). Selon ledit procédé, on arrive à ce résultat en isolant l'événement ondulatoire concerné et en adaptant la forme d'onde de cet événement à toutes les paires de récepteurs pouvant être utilisées dans le sous-réseau (111). La courbe de lenteur à haute-résolution montre bien les strates d'une formation géologique (115). Cet invention représente un instrument précieux pour évaluer des lits minces dans des formations stratifiées par diagraphie acoustique de sondage.

Abstract: Une boisson gazeuse (38) est transportée d'une source (12) à un réservoir fermé (28) à un premier niveau de pression. La pression dans le réservoir (28) est commandée par la ventilation sélective de gaz et l'addition de gaz comprimé dans ce réservoir (28) de façon à maintenir la boisson gazeuse (38) à un second niveau de pression inférieur au premier et sensiblement au dessus de la pression atmosphérique. Cette boisson gazeuse (38) est distribuée du réservoir (28) à un récipient de service par une réduction de pression dans ce réservoir (28) à une pression sensiblement atmosphérique, puis par l'ouverture d'une vanne de sortie (62). Pendant des périodes prolongées, en l'absence de distribution, la pression du réservoir (28) peut être augmentée de façon à empêcher une dégazéification de cette boisson gazeuse (38). Dans ce cas, la pression du réservoir (28) est réduite à un second niveau de pression préalablement à une autre distribution.

Abstract: A device, and method of making the device, capable of therapeutic treatment and/or for in vitro testing of human skin. The device may be used on skin wounds for burned, injured, or diseased skin, and provides structures and functions as in normal uninjured skin, such as barrier function, which is a definitive property of normal skin. The device contains cultured dermal and epidermal cells on a biocompatible, biodegradable reticulated matrix. All or part of the cells may be autologous, from the recipient of the cultured skin device, which advantageously eliminates concerns of tissue compatibility. The cells may also be modified genetically to provide one or more factors to facilitate healing of the engrafted skin replacement, such as an angiogenic factor to stimulate growth of blood vessels. The inventive device is easy to handle and manipulate for surgical transplant, can be made into large sheets to minimize the number of grafts required to cover a large surface area to be treated, and can be produced within the time frame to treat a burned individual requiring a skin graft.
