Abstract: The present invention relates to recombinant Mycobacterium strain that encodes the mutated Escherichia coli LT heat-labile toxin or the A subunit of the mutated Escherichia coli LT heat-labile toxin. The present invention also relates to strains of Mycobacterium that encode the LT heat-labile toxin or the A subunit of the LT heat-labile toxin of Escherichia coli mutated in position 63. Specifically, the present invention relates to strains of Mycobacterium that encode the LT heat-labile toxin or the A subunit of the LT heat-labile toxin of Escherichia coli mutated in position 63 from serine to lysine. The present invention also provides immunogenic compositions that comprise the strains of the present invention. The present invention further provides for the use of said strains and immunological compositions in the production of a vaccine for preventing tuberculosis and infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for disabling wireless communication devices establishes a disabling zone. Inside the disabling zone, one or more capabilities of the wireless communication devices are disabled. The wireless communication devices may include cellular phones, beepers, pagers, portable computers, electronic personal attendants, and/or similar wireless devices. In a first embodiment, the zone is formed in conjunction with a power monitoring unit proximate the zone. In a second embodiment, the zone is formed in conjunction with a position monitoring system determining the geographical position of the wireless communication devices. In both the first and second embodiments, the zone may be either geographically fixed or moveable.

Abstract: A mobile telephone power management method and apparatus is disclosed that places the telephone in a dormant, or idle, mode. In this mode, battery power is only supplied to a device incorporated into the mobile telephone that monitors incoming radio frequency (RF) signals. If the device detects an inbound call, the device sends signals to switch on battery power to the mobile telephone baseband microprocessor. The device also sends stored registration information to the baseband microprocessor, thereby allowing the telephone to rapidly switch to active mode, and to answer the inbound call. This method allows the telephone to effectively emulate standby mode for weeks rather than days without the need for battery recharging.
