Title: Communication architecture for distributed computing environment
Inventor: KLOTS BORIS
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2000-04-18
Abstract: A communication architecture for performing work in a distributed computing environment involves client processes on client nodes sending work requests to a director. The director examines the work requests to determine one or more resources required to perform the work as well as one or more server nodes that can provide the required resources. The director then forwards the work requests to server processes on the server nodes that can provide the required resources. The work requests provided to the server processes specify that the work results are to be provided directly from the server processes to the client processes that made the work requests. The director maintains a table of resource data that specifies the services and/or resources that are provided by and/or made available on the server nodes in the distributed computing environment.

Title: Attenuated negative strand viruses with altered interferon antagonist activity for use as vaccines and pharmaceuticals
Inventor: PALESE PETER
IPC: C12N7/00
Filed: 1999-06-11
Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to attenuated negative-strand RNA viruses having an impaired ability to antagonize the cellular interferon (IFN) response, and the use of such attenuated viruses in vaccine and pharmaceutical formulations. The invention also relates to the development and use of IFN-deficient systems for selection of such attenuated viruses. In particular, the invention relates to attenuated influenza viruses having modifications to the NS1 gene that diminish or eliminate the ability of the NS1 gene product to antagonize the cellular IFN response. The mutant viruses replicate in vivo but demonstrate reduced pathogenicity, and therefore are well suited for live virus vaccines, and pharmaceutical formulations.

Title: Method of effecting fluid flow in porous materials
Inventor: FINNEBRAATEN JORN INGE
IPC: E02D3/11
Filed: 1996-06-25
Abstract: A method of effecting fluid movement in porous materials (e.g. metal reinforced concrete or porous geological media) by means of electroosmosis. The method comprises applying a sequence of voltage pulses between spaced apart electrodes (4, 5) having a region of porous material (1) therebetween. Each voltage pulse comprises a first portion in which an electroosmotically active first potential difference is applied between the electrodes (4, 5) to effect fluid movement in the region of porous material (1), and a second portion in which a second potential difference of opposite polarity is applied. In the case of metal reinforced concrete an additional voltage is applied to the metal reinforcement (2) in order to make the voltage of the metal reinforcement (2) negative with respect to the porous material (1) for at least part of the sequence of voltage pulses. The method is used for controlling humidity in metal reinforced concrete, treatment of water, irrigation, oil displacement in oil-/water-bearing strata.

Title: Method of constructing fully dense metal molds and parts
Inventor: TOBIN JAMES ROBERT
IPC: B22C9/04
Filed: 1998-02-09
Abstract: A method of constructing a fully dense metal part or a metal mold half for matin with another mold half to form a mold for casting multiple parts. Steps include placing a pattern having critical pattern surfaces in a flask having an open end. The critical pattern surfaces face upward. Other steps involve covering the critical pattern surfaces with a concentrated heat reversible gel solution added to the flask, and cooling the gel solution to form an elastic solid gel mold. Further steps include removing the flask and the pattern from the elastic gel mold, and casting a ceramic mold around the solid gel mold. In other steps the gel mold is liquified for removal from the ceramic mold and the ceramic mold is inverted so that its critical ceramic surfaces face upward. Still other steps involve covering the critical ceramic surfaces with a powder, and placing a quantity of an infiltration material over the powder, and placing the ceramic mold, the powder, and the infiltration material in a furnace at a temperature sufficient to melt the infiltration material without melting and sintering the powder. The quantity of the infiltration material is sufficient to fill voids between the particles, thereby generating a fully dense mold half.
