Methods of applying an ozone-depleting catalytic coating to a heat exchanging device for producing a durable surface with optimal ozone depletion characteristics are provided. An adhesively coated metallic substrate is exposed to a concentration of ozone-depleting catalytic particles, wherein the receptive surface of the coated substrate binds the ozone-depleting catalytic coating.

Methods and apparatus for data transfer according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with a peer-to-peer (p2p) network associated with distributed file location index. For example, a system according to various aspects of the present invention may identify a high-demand file item according to communications on the p2p network and store a copy of the high-demand file item. The system may assign a non-random node identifier to the system for identifying the computer system in the p2p network. The system may then respond to requests for the high-demand file item.

This invention pertains in part to the development of a vaccine for poultry against necrotic enteritis (NE). The vaccine utilizes a protective antigen that is a mutated, full-length, non-toxic Clostridium perfringens (Cp) α-toxin protein (Mcpa). Utility of this vaccine was demonstrated by reduction of lesion severity in NE challenge trails, for example. Also disclosed herein are novel approaches for producing this vaccine in significant quantities. One exemplified approach involves producing NE vaccine (mutated alpha toxin) in bacterial expression systems, preferably utilizing the Pseudomonas fluorescens system, for commercial use in controlling NE in the poultry industry. The subject vaccines can be administered preferably to chickens in several different ways. A novel, Type VI alpha toxin from chicken isolates of Cp is also disclosed.

One method involves payment of money to a recipient traveling to one or more foreign countries by entering into a remote computer money transfer information from a sender. The money transfer information comprises recipient identification information, at least one country where the money is to be received, and a payment amount in an originating currency. The money transfer information is transmitted to a host computer system. When ready to receive payment in the designated country, recipient identification information along with a request to withdraw a portion of a possible payment amount is entered into a payout computer. The recipient identification information and the request to withdraw is transmitted to a host computer system, and the requested withdrawal is provided to the recipient in the local currency.

An embodiment of a data misalignment correction method for a mass storage drive array subsystem coupled to a computer operating system having input/output data block requests is provided. The data misalignment correction method includes automatically determining an amount of misalignment between a requested data block and a current data block alignment configuration, using the amount of misalignment to determine a preferred data bock alignment and realigning data block requests on the mass storage device according to the preferred data block alignment.

摘要:
A system adapts power for minimizing the total amount of transmitted power in a wireless communications network. A transmit station transmits a communications signal requesting a response from receiving mobile stations. A plurality of the mobile stations receives the communications signal and each evaluates the signal reception, such as the signal-to-noise ratio or transmitted power. Each mobile station responds by transmitting a communications signal back to the transmit station in a specific time slot as a function of the signal reception to allow the transmit station to adapt its power based on the time slot of the communications signals received from respective mobile stations. This minimizes the total amount of power transmitted by the wireless communications network.
摘要:
An elevator system (20) includes a cab (22) supported for movement within a hoistway. A tension device (44) remains close to one end (26) of the hoistway. The tension device (44) maintains a desired tension on a load bearing member (30) that supports a weight of the cab (22) and moves to achieve a desired placement of the cab within the hoistway. The load bearing member (30) extends from the first end of the hoistway toward the cab, wraps at least partially around a first sheave (36) supported for movement with the cab, extends from the first sheave (36) toward the first end (24) of the hoistway, wraps at least partially around a second sheave (38) supported near the first end of the hoistway, extends from the second sheave toward a second end (26) of the hoistway, wraps at least partially about a third sheave (40) supported near the second end of the hoistway, extends toward the cab from the third sheave, wraps at least partially around a fourth sheave (42) supported for movement with the cab, and extends from the fourth sheave toward the second end of the hoistway where it is secured to the tension device (44).
