Abstract: Methods and apparatus for correcting polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and other transmission distortions in a light signal. By performing measurements of polarization state versus frequency on an intrachannel basis, the first-order and higher-order variations in the polarization state in the channel due to distortions such as PMD may be identified and characterized. Having identified and characterized the variations, the effects of the distortion may be compensated for and substantially eliminated. The methods and apparatus are not limited to single channel configurations but, instead, embrace configuration such as DWDM that carry a plurality of communication channels over a single fiber link.

Abstract: A member of a new class of bacterial toxin has been isolated and characterised. The bacterial toxin is of the AB5 type and is characterised in that it has a subtilase domain. It is cytotoxic to Vero cells, and toxicity in vivo in mice occurs in a number of different sites. Mutation of the serine active residue results in greater than 99% reduction in activity. The protein has been purified and antibodies have been prepared for both the A  subunit and B subunits, and ELISA detection methods have been developed. The nucleic acid sequence has been determined and primers specific for the toxin have been used for a preliminary screen of a range of patient samples to ascertain the extent to which the toxin is present.

Abstract: During the rinse cycle of a re-circulating dishwashing machine (132), water is simultaneously diverted into a dispenser (100) as water is delivered to the rinse arms (133) of the dishwashing machine (132). The cavity (118) of the dispenser (100) contains a solid detergent block (125) and is flooded with water during the rinse cycle. The water contacts the detergent (125) during the rinse cycle to create a use solution, and the use solution exits the dispenser (100) and flows into a wash water storage tank (135) of the dishwashing machine (132). During the wash cycle of the dishwashing machine (132), the wash water containing the use solution from the dispenser (100) is pumped into the wash arms (134). The wash water becomes diluted during the subsequent rinse cycle, however, the water diverted into the dispenser (100) during the rinse cycle replenishes the detergent (125) concentration in the wash water for use in the subsequent wash cycle.

Inventor: SCHADT ERIC E
IPC: G16B5/00
Filed: 2003-02-03
Abstract: A method for associating a gene with a trait exhibited by one or more organisms in a plurality of organisms from a species. A genetic marker map is constructed from a set of genetic markers associated with the plurality of organisms. For each gene in a plurality of genes, a quantitative trait locus analysis is performed using the genetic marker map and a quantitative trait. The quantitative trait locus analysis produces quantitative trait locus data. A quantitative trait comprises an expression statistic for a gene. The expression statistic for a gene is derived from a cellular constituent level that corresponds to the gene in each organism in the plurality of organisms. The quantitative trait locus data are clustered from each quantitative trait locus analysis to form a quantitative trait locus interaction map. Clusters of genes in the map are identified as a candidate pathway group. An expression cluster map is used to refine the candidate pathway group. Multivariate analysis is used to validate the candidate pathway group as a set of genes that are genetically interacting.

Title: Prevention of dissolution of metal-based aluminium production anodes
Inventor: DE NORA VITTORIO
IPC: C25C3/06
Filed: 2003-03-31
Abstract: A method of inhibiting dissolution of a transition metal alloy anode (40) of an aluminium electrowinning cell comprises providing a barrier layer (11,20,50,50') on a non-anodic structural cell material (15), such as carbon, and electrolysing alumina dissolved in a molten electrolyte (30). The non-anodic structural material is able to supply an oxidisable by-product to the electrolyte and/or is active for reducing electrolyte species exposed to the structural material into an oxidisable by-product, such as sodium metal or carbon dust. However, the barrier layer inhibits the presence in the molten electrolyte (30) of the oxidisable by-product that constitutes an agent for chemically reducing the anode's transition metal oxides and anodically evolved oxygen. This inhibits reduction of the anode's transition metal oxides by the oxidisable by-product and maintains the anodically evolved oxygen at a concentration such as to produce, at the alloy/oxide layer interface, stable and coherent transition metal oxides having a high level of oxidation. The barrier layer may comprise molten aluminium (20) and/or a layer of refractory hard material (11,50,50').

Title: Oil shield dispenser
Inventor: ALMEIDA JORGE R
IPC: E04F17/00
Filed: 2004-09-23
Abstract: A device for protecting the surface of homes and surrounding soil from heating oil spillage during the filling process of a heating oil tank that is stored inside of or underneath the home. The device catches any spilled oil thereby protecting the home and preventing contamination of the surrounding soil. Traditional heating oil tanks must be refilled on a regular basis, usually via a fill tube that extends from the tank through an exterior wall of the home. Some spillage usually occurs during each filling procedure, causing cosmetic and environmental problems. The present device solves this problem by providing a device that protects the home and surrounding soil by catching any oils that spills during filling. It does so by providing an aluminum device, in the preferred embodiment, that covers the fill neck and vent line, and provides a basin in which the spilt oil can be caught. By providing a structure that can protect the home and surrounding environment from the problem of oil spillage, this device allows for a more convenient and pleasant use of oil-fired heating systems.
