Title: Method for avoiding interference in a cable telephony system
Inventor: WILLIAMS JAMES MASON
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1995-12-26
Abstract: Carriers (51) in a communication system (10) are prioritized (70) according to their usability. A local access manager (LAM) (27) creates a frequency list that ranks the carriers (51) based upon their frequency. When a cable fixed access unit (CFAU) (44) requests a traffic channel, the LAM (27) selects a traffic channel based on the channel's carrier usability. The LAM (27) also selects an alternative channel based on both the channel's carrier usability and based on the number of carriers between the traffic channel and the alternate channel in the frequency list. When either the LAM (27) or the CFAU (44) determines the traffic channel is unacceptable during a call they transmit a "Switching to Alternate Channel" message. The CFAU (44) retunes to the alternate channel and transmits a "Re-Connect" request. The LAM (27) then transmits a new alternate channel and the call continues.

Patent GB-2330369-A (GB)
Title: Increased methane production from a subterranean carbonaceous formation using a gaseous oxidant to promote cleat formation
Inventor: RIESE WALTER C
IPC: C07C1/00
Filed: 1998-09-03
Abstract: A method for increasing the production of methane from a subterranean carbonaceous formation, for example containing clay minerals, by injecting a gaseous oxidizing solution into said formation through an injection well. The oxidising agent stimulates chemically the formation of cleats or fractures in a coal formation through which methane can diffuse. As the free surface area of the cleat system increases thus the gas permeability of the seam increases. This results in an increased rate of methane desorption from the formation. The preferred gaseous oxidising agent contains at least one of the group comprising ozone, oxygen, or combinations thereof, with gaseous streams containing between 23 to 35 % oxygen being most preferred. The methane may be recovered through the same well used for injecting the oxidising solution or through a separate recovery well. The oxidant is normally shut-in the well for a selected period before methane collection begins.

Title: Bound fluid porosity determination using dual wait time CPMG sequences
Inventor: FREEDMAN ROBERT
IPC: G01R33/44
Filed: 1999-04-13
Abstract: Dual-wait time NMR data acquisition methods are presented that employ short-wait time (W s ) and long-wait time (W 1 ) data collection techniques. The acquired data is processed by constructing and minimizing a maximum likelihood function which self-consistently combines the long and short-wait time data to produce an apparent T 1 /T 2  ratio and a set of spectral amplitudes {a k } independent of the T 1  distribution. This method provides increased precision that is approximately equal to a factor of two improvement over conventional single-wait time methods.

Title: Active graphics toolkit
Inventor: VAN LEERSUM PHILLIP THOMAS
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1999-09-15
Abstract: In known graphics toolkits graphical manipulations are restricted to design time. At deploy time, after the application is compiled, the graphical elements are fixed and cannot be manipulated with respect to position or in relation to one another. There is described a method of building a graphical user interface comprising: providing a graphic element class for handling a plurality of user interaction types performed on an graphic element and having a graphic 38,42A,42B,42C for a particular resource type and a subset of the user interaction types particular to the resource type; providing an active content class 40,44A,44B,44C for communicating with that particular resource type and having an interface with the superclass graphic element; creating an active instance of the subclass active content and associating it with a resource; establishing a communication link between the active instance and the associated resource; creating a graphic instance associated with the active instance; whereby once an active instance is created user interactions can be communicated from the graphic instance to the active instance as events and mapped by the active instance into resource commands for the resource. The display (34) represents the system in graphical form, like a map that can be edited. Editing (32) the map (34) changes the system, and changes to the system result in a change to the map. The user can 'see the system' at a glance, rapidly absorbing changes, and 'intuitively' manipulating the system by manipulating the map. An 'action' desired by the user is 'OK'd' by policy 36. The required code to carry out said action is then activated and an associated graphic is displayed.
