Abstract: A touch input provided by a touch input indicator device is received on a propagating medium of a receiving device. The touch input indicator device includes a transmitter that transmits a signal to the propagating medium when the touch input indicator device contacts the propagating medium. The signal encodes a digital binary data identifying the signal. The signal that has been propagated through the propagating medium is received at a receiver of the receiving device. The receiver is coupled to the propagating medium. The digital binary data is detected in the received signal. Based at least in part on the detection of the digital binary data, the touch input provided by the touch input indicator device is detected.

Abstract: Genes encoding the St-B17 serotonin receptor protein were cloned and characterized from a rat striatum mRNA and a human genomic library. The St-B17 receptor has nucleotide and amino acid homology with previously described 5-HT genes and can bind ligands that are known to interact with serotonin receptors. In addition, the levels of intracellular cAMP in cells transfected with the receptor gene respond in a dose dependent manner to introduction of serotonin in the media.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for routing electronic messages over a telecommunications system containing both satellite and ground-based elements. The present invention routes messages based on the originator's address as well as the recipient's address. In this way, all messages sent to or from subscriber communicators provisioned by a given provisioning entity are handled at the provisioning entity's local equipment prior to final delivery.
