Abstract: An ATM transmission system which transmits voice data in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), in which a silent section of a call is detected and the silent section is not physically sent as an ATM cell through a transmission line, realizing compression of the silent section on the transmission line. The sending side detects the silent section, generates voice/silence information, and generates a silence starting cell and a silence ending cell. The receiving side generates silent sections at regular time intervals upon receiving the silence starting cell and returns to its normal voice cell receiving state upon receiving the silence ending cell. Since the silent sections are not transmitted, the number of occupied bands is reduced on the transmission line and the efficiency of the transmission line can be improved.

Title: A system for local context spilling for graph colouring register allocators
Inventor: MACLEOD ANDREW WILFRED
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 1997-05-22
Granted: 2001-04-24
Abstract: A  register  allocator  for  allocating  machine registers during compilation of a computer program.   The register  allocator  performs  the steps  of  building  an interference graph, reducing the graph using graph colouring techniques,  attempting  to  assign  colours  (i.e.  allocate machine registers to symbolic registers), and generating spill code.  The spill code is generated by a local context spiller which processes a basic block on an instruction by instruction basis.   The local context spiller attempts to allocate a machine register which is free in the basic block.   If the basic block does not have any free machine registers,  the local context spiller looks ahead to select a machine register for spilling.  The register allocator improves the performance of a compiler by limiting the rebuilding of the interference graph and the number of the graph reduction operations.

Abstract: A method of filling a seam of a structural panel assembly utilizes a non-foaming, thixotropic, two-component polyurethane elastomeric material. The thixotropic, elastomeric material is prepared by rapidly mixing and initiating the reaction of a first thixotropic component comprising an isocyanate-terminated compound having at least two reactive isocyanate groups and a second thixotropic component comprising a hydroxyl-terminated compound having at least two reactive hydroxyl groups. Each of the first and second thixotropic components include from about 3% to 8% by weight fumed silica. The second thixotropic component also includes from about 10% to about 50% filler. The thixotropic elastomeric material is applied over the seam of a panel assembly. The method then includes fluidizing the thixotropic elastomeric material and driving the thixotropic elastomeric material into the seam of the panel assembly. The thixotropic elastomeric material is then allowed to cure in the seam, thereby sealing and reinforcing the seam of the panel assembly.

Title: Methods of enhancing anti-tumour immunity in a mammal
Inventor: PIZZOFERRATO EVA
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1998-11-25
Granted: 2009-05-05
Abstract: Anti-tumour immune responses are elicited by engineering genetically lymphoma tumour cells to express interleukin- 12 (IL- 12), the combination of B7-1 and interleukin- 12, or by increasing endogenous expression of the costimulatory molecule B7-2. The combination of B7-1 and IL-12 is most effective in minimal disease settings when the tumour cell engineered genetically to express both molecules is inoculated into the same site of tumour burden. In addition, increasing the expression of endogenous B7-2 provides another method by which anti-tumour immunity is generated against unmodified tumour cells. The mechanisms of the anti-tumour immune response are multifactorial involving T cells as well as natural killer (NK) cells.

Title: Fuel efficient methods for satellite stationkeeping and momentum dumping
Inventor: NOYOLA RICHARD A
IPC: B64G1/26
Filed: 1998-12-08
Granted: 2002-10-22
Abstract: Satellite stationkeeping and momentum-dumping methods are facilitated by the use of diagonally-arranged thruster pairs which are positioned on a selected one of a nadir and an antinadir satellite face. A first one of the thruster pairs is directed so that its thruster forces are spaced by moment arms from the satellite's center of mass. Firings of this thruster pair are separated by a momentum-dumping right ascension difference that is chosen to enhance momentum authority. These firings generate momentum-dumping torques and contribute to stationkeeping velocity changes. A second one of the thruster pairs is directed so that its thruster forces substantially pass through the center of mass. Firings of this thruster pair are separated by a stationkeeping right ascension difference chosen to minimize fuel consumption while providing a major portion of stationkeeping velocity changes.
