Title: Heater/blower unit with load control
Inventor: ZIAIMEHR ALLEN HAMID
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 2000-07-31
Abstract: A heater (10) comprised of two sections, a first heater (12) and a second heater (16). The first heater is continuously "on" to provide the bulk of the heat. A second heater is selectively engaged to provide slightly more heat to the medium, heating the medium to the desired temperature. The output temperature of the heated medium is maintained by controlling the duty cycle of the second heater. More drastic changes in temperature are accomplished by changing the power continuously dissipated by the first heater. The greatest heating control is obtained by defining the first and second heaters as subsets from a bank of selectable heater elements. A method of minimizing fluctuations in the loading of a high-wattage electrical device is also provided.

Title: SGSN handover in a GPRS Network
Inventor: EDLUND PETER HANS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-04-12
Abstract: A Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) handover procedure, for use in a GPRS network, reduces the need for resequencing in the SGSN. This is achieved in that the old SGSN sends a message to the Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), requesting that it stop transmission of data. At that time, the old SGSN transfers to the new SGSN any data which it needs to transmit to the mobile station. The GGSN resumes transmission of data, this time to the new SGSN, when the handover is complete. This reduces the requirement for the new SGSN to resequence the received data. The signal from the old SGSN to the GGSN, requesting it to stop transmission, can be initiated when the old SGSN receives a message from the new SGSN, informing it that the mobile station has moved to a cell served by the new SGSN. Alternatively, the signal can be sent from the old SGSN to the GGSN, on receipt by the old SGSN of a message from the serving base station, informing it that the mobile station has changed to a cell served by another SGSN.

Title: Cow feed containing cysteamine
Inventor: CHI FRANCIS
IPC: A23K1/18
Filed: 2001-09-19
Abstract: A feed for dairy cows comprises a cysteamine-containing composition, the cysteamine having the formula NH<SB>2</SB> - CH<SB>2</SB> - CH<SB>2</SB> - SH or its salt like compound and being present in 1-95wt% of the composition. The composition may further comprise 1-80wt% of a stabilizer (for example cyclodextrin or its derivative) and a bulking agent, disintegration agent or a coated carrier. The carrier is preferably a solid carrier coating that is adapted to be soluble in the intestines of the cows but to remain un-dissolved at a pH of 1.5 to 3.5. The cysteamine may be mixed directly with a suitable feed material or prepared as a premix. The cysteamine containing food may be used particularly for increasing the lactation of the dairy cows as the cysteamine works to increase the level of growth hormones which is believed to be directly linked to the development of mammalian glands.

Title: Activity display for data channels over time
Inventor: TURPIN JOHN F
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2002-07-26
Abstract: An activity display for multiple data channels over a period of time for a communication link provides a quasi-three-dimensional presentation having time periods and data channels as orthogonal axes and shading within each time period/data channel rectangle representing ones density for the channel during that time period. One or more frames of the communication link corresponding to one time period may be captured, and then each frame processed in sequence one data channel at a time to build up a line of the display for the time period. Over multiple time periods the display may be built up line by line, with the oldest line being dropped as a new line is added when the maximum number of lines for the display is achieved. In this way an operator has a high level all-in-one glance at the operation of the communication link. The shading may be greyscale, colour coded, filling or patterns.
