Abstract: A technique allowing more than one wireless unit (e.g., a plurality of mobile
phones) to share a single telephone (i.e., directory) number is disclosed. One telephone
number is assigned to more than one wireless unit, where each wireless unit has a
different electronic serial number. The mobile switching center (MSC) tracks the current
location of each wireless unit and stores this information in a location registration
database. Each time an active wireless unit moves out of a cell (or sector) and enters a
new cell (or sector), it registers with the MSC which updates its location registration
database with the current location of the wireless unit. When the MSC receives an
incoming call for a telephone number shared by multiple wireless units, the MSC
accesses the location registration database and forwards the incoming call to all the
wireless units assigned to the shared telephone number. When one of the wireless units
answers, the MSC connects the call between the calling party and the wireless unit. At
the same time, the MSC transmits a signal to the remaining wireless units assigned to
that telephone number indicating that another wireless unit is conducting an active call.
One or more remaining wireless units (i.e., other than the one that answered the call)
may join the call-in-progress. Each time a new wireless unit joins the call-in-progress,
the wireless units already participating in the call are notified by the MSC. Similarly,
when one of the wireless units originates an outgoing call, the MSC connects the caller
to the called party and transmits a signal to the remaining wireless units assigned to the
shared telephone number indicating that one of the wireless units is conducting an active
call. The other wireless units have the option to join the call-in-progress, and any time a
new wireless unit joins the call-in-progress, the wireless units already participating in the
call are notified.

Abstract: A system and method for availability management coordinates operational states of
components to implement a desired redundancy model within a high-availability computing
system. Within the availability management system, an availability manager monitors various
reports on the status of components and nodes within the system. The availability manager uses
these reports to direct components to change states if necessary, in order to maintain the desired
system redundancy model. 
     The availability management system includes a health monitor for performing component
status audits upon individual components and reporting component status changes. The system
also includes a watch-dog timer, which monitors the health monitor and reboots the entire node
containing the health monitor if it becomes non-responsive. Each node within the system also
includes a cluster membership monitor, which monitors nodes becoming non-responsive and
reports node non-responsive errors. The availability management system also includes a multicomponent
error correlator (MCEC), which uses pre-specified rules to correlate multiple specific
and non-specific errors and infer a particular component problem. If a particular component
problem is found, the MCEC reports a component status change to the availability manager.

Abstract: Zur Untersuchung der Bindung von Substanzen an Zielmoleküle wird eine dichtgepackte Anordnung gesucht, bei der in vielen Probenarealen jeweils unterschiedliche Zielmoleküle gebunden sind. Eine Kreuzkontamination sowie die Verdunstung ist zu minimieren, die aktive Oberfläche der Probenareale zu maximieren. Die erfindungsgemässe Lösung besteht in der Verwendung von Trägerplatten, die eine dichte Packung von Kapillarstrukturen enthalten und somit eine sehr grosse innere Oberfläche bei kleinen äusseren Abmessungen besitzen. Hiermit können 1000-fach mehr Moleküle gebunden werden als an einer flachen äusseren Oberfläche vergleichbarer Grösse. Die Kreuzkontamination wird durch das Fehlen von Querverbindungen zwischen den Kapillaren verhindert, die Verdunstung durch eine kleine äussere Oberfläche minimiert. Nach Silanisierung der inneren Kapillaroberfläche werden darauf ortsgerichtet Peptide und Peptidomimetika synthetisiert. Die Untersuchung der molekularen Wechselwirkungen von Komponenten der Substanzbibliothek mit in Lösung oder Suspension befindlichen Wirkstoffen erfolgt durch ortsauflösende optische Detektionsverfahren. Die Handhabung, insbesondere Reinigung und Belegung mit Substanzen, geschieht einfach durch Durchspülen von Flüssigkeiten durch die Kapillarplatte.

Title: Process for production of polyamide
Inventor: TANAKA KAZUMI
IPC: C08G69/28
Filed: 2002-01-08
Abstract: In the process for producing polyamide of the present invention, a
diamine and a dicarboxylic acid are melt-polycondensed in a batch-wise fist
polymerizer in the absence of a solvent to produce a middle-stage polyamide.
The diamine has a boiling point higher than a melting point of the middle-stage
polyamide being produced under inner pressures of the first polymerizer.
The middle-stage polyamide is fed into a continuous second polymerizer while
controlling the change of relative viscosity within ±0.2, and further
polycondensed there to produce the objective polyamide. With such a process,
the change of polymerization degree of the middle-stage polyamide during the
switching of the polymerization step from a batch-wise manner to a continuous
manner is avoided, thereby preventing the variation in quality of the final
product.
