Abstract: For an electrical circuit (10), having a load (20) such as an illuminated display that includes at least one semiconductor junction device (22) supplied with operating current at a voltage sufficient to bias the semiconductor junction device into conduction and control means (30) to provide or inhibit supply of power to said load, there is provided a protection arrangement (40) comprising means (50) for sensing characteristics of the load when it is off-line, that is, when the operating current is not flowing. The sensing means is coupled to the load where and when supplied with operating power and operable in the absence of such supply sense a voltage level across the load. Threshold comparison means (54) compares the sensed voltage level with at least one stored value representative of a threshold of a load characteristic delimiting consistency with semiconductor and non-semiconductor behaviour. In a preferred embodiment the supply of operating current to the load is interrupted periodically for a time interval too short to be noticed, the sensing means including a sensing current generator (62) which in the absence of operating current to the load effects passage through the load of a sensing current having a value that is less, for a semiconductor junction, than the forward conduction threshold thereof. The voltage level across the load in response to this sensing current is sensed, and threshold comparison determines if the sensed voltage level is below a value, predetermined as the minimum for said sensing current consistent with a semiconductor junction and maximum for the load having conduction characteristics from which the circuit requires protection from the application of said operating power, and the control means responds to the absence of such condition to establish or re-establish operating current to the load and to the existence of such condition to keep the load unpowered. The voltage behaviour may be used to sense other load characteristics, such as capacitance that may be due to an introduced liquid, in any interval when the load is taken off-line.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un courtier en tunnels (4) configure un premier noeud (2), qui supporte un premier et un second protocole de communication, par ex. IPv4 et IPv6, pour communiquer avec un second noeud qui supporte IPv6, par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau IPv4. Ce courtier en tunnels (4) attribue une adresse IPv6 unique (10) au noeud, cette adresse étant générée au moyen d'une combinaison entre l'adresse IPv4 (11) du noeud et une valeur de compteur (13). Cette valeur de compteur est incrémentée chaque fois qu'un utilisateur partage une adresse IPv4 (11) de sorte qu'une adresse IPv6 unique (10) soit attribuée à chaque utilisateur partageant une adresse IPv4 (11). Le service de courtage en tunnels est limité aux utilisateurs qui ont créé un compte. Un mot de passe de compte est envoyé à l'adresse électronique de l'utilisateur pour garantir qu'une personne donnant une fausse adresse ne puisse bénéficier d'un accès. Un utilisateur ne peut créer d'autres comptes en utilisant la même adresse électronique. Le nombre de tunnels pouvant être configurés au moyen de chaque compte est restreint. Ces dispositions servent à empêcher qu'un individu ne configure un grand nombre de tunnels (1) en procédant à une attaque par déni de service.

Title: Compositions comprising anionic functionalized polyorganosiloxanes for hydrophobically modifying surfaces and enhancing delivery of active agents to surfaces treated therewith
Inventor: MAJETI SATYANARAYANA
IPC: A61K6/896
Filed: 2003-05-09
Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating and modifying surfaces a nd for enhancing delivery of active agents to surfaces treated therewith, where in the compositions comprise siloxane polymers functionalized with pendant moieties comprising two or more anionic groups, at least one anionic group being a carboxy group. When applied to a suitable surface, the present composition forms a substantially hydrophobic coating of the anionic functionalized siloxane polymer on the treated surface. These polymers effectively deposit on surfaces that have cationic sites, which are capable of forming bonds or linkages with the anionic groups of the polymer. The treate d surface becomes hydrophobic due to the deposition of the anionic functionalized siloxane polymer, which then imparts a variety of end use benefits to that surface such as ease of cleaning, soil release, stain remov al and prevention, conditioning, etc. The anionic functionalized siloxane polym er further acts as a carrier to deposit active agents onto the surface and to improve retention and efficacy of the active agents on the treated surface. The present compositions are useful in a variety of applications including oral care, hair and skin care, personal care, cosmetics, and fabric and hard surface cleaning and conditioning.

Patent CA-2506038-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAKHLA GEORGE
IPC: C02F3/30
Filed: 2005-05-02
Abstract: A method and process for the treatment of wastewater containing phosphorous and nitrogen. The wastewater is first anaerobically treated to produce an anaerobic effluent from which insoluble organic carbon is separated to form a sludge rich in organic carbon that is used as a substrate during anoxic treatment of the wastewater by de-nitrifying phosphorous accumulating organisms (DPAO's) and ordinary de-nitrifying organisms. The separation of insoluble organic carbon is normally conducted using a clarifier located intermediate the anaerobic and anoxic bio-reactors.  In one embodiment, the ammonia rich clarifier supernatant is directed to an aerobic reactor for nitrification and the nitrate produced is recycled to the anoxic bio-reactor. The final effluent may be membrane filtered to retain nitrifying biomass within the aerobic bio-reactor. The invention reduces overall hydraulic residence time and sludge volume, which results in a smaller, less expensive wastewater treatment system.
