Abstract: A process to remove the glucosinolates of oilseed meals, such as Brassica carinata oilseed meals, is provided. In one embodiment, exogenous myrosinase is used to convert the glucosinolates to volatile isothiocyanate compounds, which can then be removed under conditions of mild heat and negative pressure. In another embodiment, heat and pressure are used to remove glucosinolates from Brassica carinata oilseed. The processed meals may contain less than 80% of their starting levels of glucosinolates and may be suitable for use in various applications, including as animal feeds.

Abstract: A method for providing insurance, which includes steps of issuing a first insurance policy covering risk disposed in one or more different countries, determining if one or more of the countries prohibit insurance issued by foreign insurers, and subsequently issuing one or more additional insurance policies, if such insurance is prohibited. The additional insurance policies may be issued in each country, or for groups of countries.

Abstract: A method for monitoring insurance, which includes steps of storing a plurality of Tax Records in a database, where each Tax Record corresponds to one or more insurance agreements, and permitting the display of at least one of the plurality of Tax Records. The method assists insurers with multinational customers in keeping track of insurance agreements, and ensuring compliance with legal, regulatory and tax requirements across different states, nations or jurisdictions.

Abstract: Improved hinge mechanisms and hinge systems releasably conjoin elements such as doors, frames and panels. The hinges include multiple pins that can be moved to a first position in which the hinge leaves may be separated from one another, and a second position in which the hinge leaves are pivotally secured to one another.

Abstract: Upon receiving (101) a vocoded voice frame and detecting (102) that the received vocoded voice frame comprises an erased frame, one automatically replaces (103) the erased frame with a valid frame having at least one error condition. In a preferred approach this error condition is one that is known to cause a receiving target platform to invoke a corresponding erasure process with respect to the valid frame when received.

Abstract: In a communications system implementing Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), an apparatus and method for increasing the number of NAKs transmitted by a receiving device when an RLP error is detected in cases where the link speed into the RLP receiver is high, when the TCP window of the sender approaches the maximum or when the percentage of NAKs for which retransmissions cannot be fulfilled approaches a threshold. In a second aspect of the invention, the apparatus and method increases the number of retransmissions transmitted by a sending device when an RLP NAK is received in cases where the link speed out of the RLP sender is high and the transmission round is the first, when the TCP window of the sender approaches the maximum or when the percentage of NAKs for which retransmissions cannot be fulfilled approaches a threshold.

Abstract: A wireless communications system and methods therein uses information, such as frame sequence numbers to improve DCCH or SCH power control. The system includes a base transceiver station (BTS) (14) with a frame type determinator (32) for determining whether the recovered data frames are good, erased, or non-transmitted data frames. A selector distribution unit (SDU) (16) includes a frame type verification processing block (36) for verifying that the frame type determinations made by the frame type determinator are correct based on the sequence numbers from received good data frames, and a power control block (38) for transmitting subscriber device power control information based on frame type determination verifications made by the verification processing block.

Abstract: To address the need for dispatch in a CDMA communication system, each mobile unit (309, 319) and CBSC (301, 311) involved in a call are allowed to establish an independent RLP session between them. Each session contains its own unique RLP sequence numbers that are not shared. Reverse link sequence numbers are passed from the source CBSC (301, 311) (serving the “talking” mobile) to the target CBSC(s) (301, 311) (serving the “listening” mobiles). However, instead of being directly used by the target CBSC(s) (301, 311) for its forward link RLP sequence number, the sequence numbers passed to the CBSC (301, 311) is translated to the existing target CBSCs (301, 311) current RLP sequence numbers.

Abstract: A spreader (216) comprises a code generator (301) and exclusive OR circuitry (303). In the preferred embodiment of the present invention the code generator (301) generates a code having a length and value dependent upon the current transmission rate. This code is then exclusive OR'd with the incoming data stream to produce spread data.

Abstract: The invention provides medicaments comprising an oenothein, including topical formulations for use as free radical scavengers, or to treat irritation, or to treat inflammation. The oenothein for use in such formulations, such as oenothein-A or oenothein-B, may be purified from natural sources, such as plant material (e.g. Epilobium angustifolium).
