Abstract: A method and system for integrating and controlling a hardware device having one or more embedded systems including one or more hardware components configurable for use with the hardware device and one or more operating systems for use with the one or more hardware components. A control module configurable for use with the one or more hardware components and one or more operating systems accesses and controls the one or more hardware components with the hardware device. The control module generates and displays access and control commands on the hardware device to allow user to operate and manage the embedded system.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of dynamically updating configuration files in a customer premises telecommunications hub. The hub includes a configuration file update module. During initialization, every system module which uses parameters in the configuration file registers with the update module. While the hub is operating, a new configuration file is sent to the IP address of the hub and written into flash memory by the update module. The update module calls a check function in the registered modules which check to see if the new parameters can be changed dynamically. If they can, the update module calls an update function in all registered modules which then change their parameters to those set by the new configuration file. If any module needs a parameter change which cannot be made dynamically, the update module calls for a system reset or reboot.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of automatically downloading and testing binary code for a customer premises telecommunications hub. When a new binary file is received by the hub, it is loaded into flash memory, but is not locked or designated as the currently active binary file. A trial run message is then written into SDRAM identifying the new file. The system if rebooted and starts up with the new file. A verification process is run to determine if the new file functions properly. If it does, the trial run message is deleted and the new file is locked into flash memory as the current binary. If the trial fails, the trial run message is deleted and the system is rebooted with the previous binary file.

Abstract: A system and method for storing and managing digital content is disclosed. Uncompressed digital content is obtained and automatically stored on a memory device, such digital content becoming immediately available to a user from the memory device. Imperceptibly to the user, the digital content is compressed, the compressed content is stored on the memory device and the uncompressed content is deleted from the memory device. The user shall have complete access to the digital content at all times, and is unaware in what format (compressed or uncompressed) such content is present.

Abstract: The one and two-dimensional separation of proteins extending through the membrane (membrane proteins) is a prerequisite for a complete analysis of the proteome of a functionally intact cell organelle. A substantial drawback of prior art methods for separating is that their applicability is limited to peripheral water-soluble proteins. The aim of the novel method is to electrophoretically separate membrane proteins in one or two dimensions. To this end, membranes from cell organelles, whose membrane protein stock should be separated, are placed on planar supports whose surface was modified using suitable methods in such a manner that the membrane proteins maintain their ability to laterally diffuse in the membrane plane after being placed on the support. By subsequently applying electrical fields, the proteins can be electrophoretically displaced in the membrane plane and, as a result, can be separated in one or two dimensions according to their different charge characteristics.

Abstract: The invention relates to the analysis of interactions of substances or materials with surfaces or interfaces made from amphiphilic materials and in particular partition coefficients and/or binding constants are determined. For this purpose use is made of a carrier material, which is so coated with amphiphilic molecules in the so-called fluid phase that the lateral diffusion of the amphiphilic molecules is substantially unimpeded. The invention also relates to a kit suitable for such analyses, and to a process for analyzing these interactions in column chromatography, particularly high pressure or performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract: A two-dimensional patterning of a three-dimensional surface by a template molecule (or object) involving non-covalent interactions between the template and the surface and the reversible fixation of the pattern by undergoing a phase transition in the patterned material. In this invention the surface provides a multitude of mobile functional groups (matrix) which are spatially arranged by the interaction with the template, the template selects and arranges only those groups out of a multitude of functional groups which allow for a maximum of interaction between the template and the surface. The resulting pattern is then stabilized by reducing the mobility of all functional groups present on the surface by undergoing a phase transition to a state of high surface viscosity. After separation of the template and the patterned surface, the pattern on the surface is used for recognition, separation or catalytic purposes.

Abstract: A chromatography column packing material and column chromatographic methods using a silica gel based column packing material are disclosed. The silica gel material is coated by a phospholipid bilayer containing at least two lipids, at least one having an electric charge. Proteins are separated using this column packing material without denaturing because of the lipid coating. The protein molecule binds to the lipid bilayer coated silica gel and is then eluted by raising the temperature.
