Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling overload in a packet switched network, especially in a network where Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is used as the transport layer protocol. In order to inform the traffic source at a very early stage that the network is getting overloaded or congested, the acknowledgments traveling towards the source are delayed when the load level in the network exceeds a predetermined value.

Abstract: The gene encoding a 4-hydroxybutyryl-Co A transferase has been isolated from bacteria and integrated into the genome of bacteria also expressing a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase, to yield an improved production process for 4HB-containing polyhydroxyalkanoates using transgenic organisms, including both bacteria and plants. The new pathways provide means for producing 4HB containing PHAs from cheap carbon sources such as sugars and fatty acids, in high yields, which are stable. Useful strains are obtaining by screening strains having integrated into their genomes a gene encoding a 4HB-CoA transferase and/or PHA synthase, for polymer production. Processes for polymer production use recombinant systems that can utilize cheap substrates. Systems are provided which can utilize amino acid degradation pathways, α-ketoglutarate, or succinate as substrate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for positioning and navigating
an autonomous vehicle (102,310) allow the vehicle
(102,310) to travel between locations. A first position
estimate (112) of the vehicle (102,310) is derived from
satellites (132-170,200-206) of a global positioning
system (100A) and/or a pseudolite(s) (105). The
pseudolite(s) (105) may be used exclusively when the
satellites (132-170,200-206) are not in view of the
vehicle (102,310). A second position estimate (114) is
derived from an inertial reference unit (904) and/or a
vehicle odometer (902). The first and second position
estimates are combined and filtered to derive a third
position estimate (118). Navigation of the vehicle
(102,310) is obtained using the position information
(414), obstacle detection and avoidance data (416), and
on board vehicle data (908,910).

Abstract: An arc jet CVD system (10) includes a plurality of plasma jet
distribution heads (18). The distribution heads (18) are
preferably linearly arranged, preferably angled relative to a
line normal to the substrate surface on which a diamond film is

viscosity, the distance between the distribution heads (18) and
the substrate (32), and the area on the substrate exposed to
the gas from a distribution head (18). Configuring the plasma

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and vector systems for
the generation of chimaeric recombinant adenoviruses. These
hybrid adenoviruses contain a genome that is derived from
different adenovirus serotypes. In particular, novel hybrid
adenoviruses are disclosed with improved properties for gene
therapy purposes. These properties include: a decreased
sensitivity towards neutralizing antibodies, a modified host
range, a change in the titer to which adenovirus can be
grown, the ability to escape trapping in the liver upon  in
vivo  systemic delivery, and absence or decreased infection of
antigen presenting cells (APC) of the immune system, such as
macrophages or dendritic cells. 
These chimaeric adenoviruses thus represent improved tools
for gene therapy and vaccination since they overcome the
limitations observed with the currently used serotype
subgroup C adenoviruses.

Abstract: Unusual waveforms are defined in terms of how many "new" pixels are affected by
the process of rasterizing them. New pixels can be those not yet affected by the
rasterization of any waveform in the current set of acquisitions, or to be those that have
had higher values in their raster memory location but have now been decayed to below a
defined value. Once detected, such waveforms can be re-rasterized with extra intensity or
into a different color by using a reserved range of values of those storable in the raster
memory. Alternatively, the special region of values can be used as a counter/timer to
maintain the pixels associated with unusual waveforms at a brightest intensity value, or in
the color equivalent, for an extended period of time. User input can be used to affect the
definition of"new" pixels and to control the special persistence given to unusual
waveforms. Unusual waveforms can also be saved in long term memory. Multiple decay
functions and regions of values in the raster memory locations can be used as described
above, or to produce a fast rate of decay in a bright visible region and a user adjustable
slower rate of decay in a dimmer region, thus making recently acquired waveforms look
bright and "lively", while older waveforms appear to be relatively gray and stable. The
same techniques can be employed when color is used either along with or as a substitute
for intensity variations.

Abstract: A dual-mode receiver uses a hybrid cost function that provides for automatic

embodiment, the receiver comprises an adaptive filter that alternates between a QAM-based

pillowcases and the like) consisting of a relatively small
expandable sponge having contained in the interstices thereof
perfume oil and a fragrance substantivity/fabric relaxing
substance. The article is specifically intended to be used on

and/or freshening, and such use is effected in an automatic dryer
(which has different "cycles"); on operation of the "no heat"
("fluff" cycle) and/or the "low heat" cycle. The sponge article
of our invention is activated by placing water thereon and
thereby hydrating and thus expanding the sponge article. The

an automatic dryer along with a suitable number of articles of
clothing (e.g., 1-3) and/or linens in need of freshening and/or
aromatization and de-wrinkling. The dryer is then run on the
"no-heat" cycle ("fluff" cycle) (ambient temperature operation)
and/or "low-heat" cycle for 0.5-2 hours (per cycle). The
clothing articles and/or linens are then removed from the dryer
and hung and/or stretched for a relatively short period of time
at the end of which they are (i) wrinkle free and (ii) freshened
and/or aromatized.
