| 20110300552 | Systems and Methods for Determining Drug Resistance in Microorganisms - The present invention is based on the discovery that drug resistance in microorganisms can be rapidly and accurately determined using mass spectrometry. A mass spectrum of an intact microorganism or one or more isolated biomarkers from the microorganism grown in drug containing, isotopically-labeled media is compared with a mass spectrum of the intact microorganism or one or more isolated biomarkers from the microorganism grown in non-labeled media without the drug present. Drug resistance is determined by predicting and detecting a characteristic mass shift of one or more biomarkers using algorithms. The characteristic mass shift is indicative that the microorganism is growing in the presence of the drug and incorporating the isotopic label into the one or more biomarkers, resulting in change in mass. | 12-08-2011 |

| 20110261804 | Method for home agent location - A mobile node stores information identifying a number of possible mobility registration servers so that it can select a server based on its geographical location rather than simply using its default server. Selection will depend on the type of ID data stored. If partially completed FQDNs are stored, a country code is added to see if this corresponds to a local server. Alternatively IP addresses can be stored and chosen by prefix matching with a Care-of-Address. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20100062760 | DATA COMMUNICATIONS - This invention relates to methods for controlling a mobile node in a data communications network. A mobile node may include different radio interfaces for communicating user data traffic and mobility protocol data traffic via different radio access technologies. One radio interface may be preferentially selected over another radio interface for the purpose of communicating user data traffic, in response to a trigger indicating that there is a change in the user data traffic to be communicated, whilst there remains mobility protocol data traffic to be communicated. This allows the continued communication of mobility protocol data traffic, for example to maintain a registration condition of a mobile node, whilst avoiding wastage of power resources on the mobile node. The power to each of the radio interfaces may be switched according to the amount of user data traffic being communicated to and from an application running on the mobile node. | 03-11-2010 |
