Abstract: A flexible rule engine allows a network operator to dynamically create and modify business rules that govern a subscriber's access to a communications network. The flexible rule engine governs subscriber transitions between various session states by testing for subscriber conditions, network conditions, and then performing specified actions based on these conditions. A rule editor provides the network operator with the ability to compose, edit and delete one or more rules in real time, using an appropriate user interface.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for evaluation of the level of activation of cells through the quantification of the phosphorylated versus the non-phosphorylated multiple proteins belonging to kinase cascades which is the result of the equilibrium between the kinase/phosphatase activities in the given cells. The invention also provides a method for quantification of the level of phosphorylation of enzymes and proteins involved into the pathways of cell activation or being the products of theses activations. In particular, the invention provides a method for the simultaneous quantification level of phosphorylation of multiple proteins of the same or different pathways present in the same cell extract.

Abstract: A method for stabilizing proteins immobilized on the surface of a solid support, or array, by incorporating polyols into the solutions to be dispensed. The polyols increase the time-dependent and thermal stability of all of the spotted proteins on the same support, thus conserving the micro-array for quantitative multiparametric analysis after a long storage period.
