Integrated Method for Performing Scheduling, Routing and Access Control in a Computer Network
Published Monday, May 7, 2001Computer networks based upon a series of nodes and servers interconnected by physical wiring have been well known for some time (e.g. Ethernet or Token-ring network). With the rapid development of the Internet, these computer networks must not only communicate effectively within their own domain or environment, but also must communicate between...

Power Control Based Admission Methods for Maximum Throughput in DS-CDMA Networks with Multi-Media Traffic
Published Monday, May 7, 2001There is an increasing use of multi-media transmissions over cellular CDMA networks. However, a CDMA cellular network is by its very nature interference limited. The layering of each signal across the available bandwidth increases the interference and affects the overall bandwidth utilization. Attempts have been made in the past to limit the...

A Process for Coating Biological Pesticides and Compositions Therefrom
Published Tuesday, October 31, 2000Baculoviruses are known biological materials having insecticidal activity. The commercial utility of these materials has been limited though because, without special formulation, like most biological materials are readily deactivated by the UV radiation in sunlight.The incorporation of UV protectants in a variety of ways is known and...

Recombinant Baculovirus Insecticides
Published Tuesday, October 31, 2000This invention relates to modifying nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPVs), a type of Baculovirus distinguished from non-occluded Baculovirus (NOVs) and granulosis viruses (Gvs). These viruses are in general slow to kill insects but have been engineered to kill a host in 20-30% less time than wild type NPVs by engineering them to express neurotoxins...

Smart Gun Barrels With Embedded Fiber Optic Sensors
Published Tuesday, October 17, 2000It is a huge tactical advantage in warfare to have weapons systems with an effective firing range longer than the firing range of an enemy. However, improving firing accuracy at a longer range is a constant challenge in modern weapon development. For battle tanks, warships and artillery, the gun barrel is a crucial part of the weapons system that...

Fiber Optic Breadboard
Published Wednesday, October 11, 2000Laboratory space utilized in optics research is often an expensive commodity. Unfortunately, the majority of platform equipment used in laboratories is planar in nature and not modular. This planar arrangement tends to consume a lot of valuable lab space and often results in confusing layouts that make troubleshooting during experiments very...
