20100113037 | ADAPTIVE MOBILE VIDEO CALL CONGESTION CONTROL - Systems and methods are provided for adaptive control of call quality-of-service. Using the systems and methods, if the uplink of a given mobile station is congested, the quality of the data, e.g., video data, sent by the mobile station along its uplink is adjusted to allow an optimal number of calls to be transmitted through the congested location. A centralized base station controller (CBSC) may obtain congestion information, such as frame loss ratio or frame delay, from its portion of the mobile network. The CBSC then relays this information to a mobile station and/or to a CBSC associated with one or more mobile station(s) at the other end of the call. The mobile stations may then adapt the quality of the video conferencing accordingly. Using the disclosed systems and methods, bandwidth utilization may be improved, allowing a high number of calls to be completed, and reducing the occurrence of dropped calls. | 05-06-2010 |

20120165184 | DOPED CATALYTIC CARBONACEOUS COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND USES THEREOF - The present invention is directed to a composite material of a carbonaceous substance comprising a doped catalytic compound obtained by a sol-gel method. In one embodiment, the method comprises mixing a hydrolyzed solution comprising a precursor of a catalytic material with a carbonaceous material to obtain a sol. The sol is afterwards incubated while at the same time it is mixed. After incubation the sol is condensated to form a gel. After condensation the gel formed is subjected to a first calcination carried out in an oxidizing environment followed by a second calcination carried out in a non-oxidizing environment. The non-oxidizing environment comprises a second dopant comprising precursor material. Also, a solution of a first dopant comprising precursor material is added to the solution comprising an organometallic precursor of a catalytic material before hydrolyzation or before subjecting the gel to calcination, i.e. after hydrolyzation. In a further aspect, the present invention can refer to a method of removing pollutants comprised in a liquid stream by subjecting the liquid stream to a composite material described herein. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a photocatalytic oxidation reactor comprising a composite material including a doped photocatalytic material. | 06-28-2012 |

20100035231 | ANTIGEN CAPTURE ANTI-DENGUE IGA ELISA (ACA-ELISA) FOR THE DETECTION OF A FLAVIVIRUS SPECIFIC ANTIBODY - An antigen capture IgA Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ACA-ELISA) was developed for the detection of anti-flavivirus IgA. The assay utilizes flavivirus lysate antigen, preferably dengue virus lysate antigen captured by a monoclonal antibody. Captured anti-flavivirus IgA from test sera are preferably detected using rabbit anti-IgA conjugated with a reporter group such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The assay was found to be at least 8 times more sensitive than anti-human IgA capture ELISA (AAC-ELISA). The ACA-ELISA, based either on serum or saliva, was found to be more sensitive and rapid compared to the “gold standard” anti-dengue IgM detection technique and can be utilized as a diagnostic tool for the confirmation of dengue in the early phase of infection. | 02-11-2010 |
