US Classification:

709206, 709203, 709248, 379 671, 379 8813, 37910008, 707 10, 707201

Abstract:

A method or system for synchronizing e-mail messages for a user, particularly for POP3 protocols. E-mail messages addressed to the user are received at an e-mail control at a local server, from an external e-mail server. The e-mail control stores each e-mail message in a consolidated e-mail storage at the local server. The e-mail control stores a message identifier for each e-mail message, in a message identifier storage at the local server. It is determined whether an e-mail message in the consolidated e-mail storage has been deleted from the external e-mail server, and if so, then the e-mail message is deleted from the consolidated e-mail storage. The invention provides for forward and/or reverse synchronization of e-mail messages. Optionally, the step of determining includes comparing message identifiers in the message identifier storage to message identifiers in e-mail received from the external e-mail server. Alternatively, the step of determining includes comparing the message identifiers of e-mail on the external e-mail server to the message identifiers in the message identifier storage, or, comparing the message identifiers in the message identifier storage to the message identifiers of e-mail in the consolidated e-mail storage.

Filed:

Feb 7, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/827846

Inventors:

Daniel J. Schaefer - Waukesha WI
Robert W. Newman - Milwaukee WI

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Milwaukee WI

International Classification:

G01R 3324

US Classification:

324318

Abstract:

There is provided a phantom for measuring a performance parameter of a nuclear magnetic resonance scanner capable of acquiring NMR data from a study object. The phantom is made up of a housing composed of a substantially non-NMR-active material, and positionable in use within a radio-frequency coil forming part of an NMR scanner. The phantom further includes a first medium disposed within the housing to load the radio frequency coil in a manner similar to that of a patient. The NMR properties of the medium are further selected such that an NMR signal, if any, produced by the medium occurs at a time other than when a performance parameter of said NMR scanner is measured. In the preferred embodiment, the phantom comprises two concentrically disposed cylinders of different diameters and a pair of end plates fastened to opposite ends of the cylinders. The first medium is disposed within the volume defined between the side walls of the cylinders and the end plates. A second medium is disposed within the volume defined within the innermost cylinder and generates the NMR test signals.

General Electric Company - Milwaukee WI

International Classification:

G01R 3324

US Classification:

324307

Abstract:

Three-dimensional NMR phantom includes in the preferred embodiment a set of three mutually orthogonal test plates each configured to enable testing NMR scanner performance in each of the planes containing the plates. The plates are further arranged so as to be simultaneously positionable, in use, at the isocenter of the NMR scanner to permit testing NMR scanner performance in each plane without repositioning the phantom.

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus are described for a telephony server screening voice calls. In one embodiment, the telephony server receives, form an originating device, an incoming call to be routed to a receiving device. The server answers the incoming call to establish a communication link with the originating device. The server transmits, via the communication link, a challenge audio signal containing an audio message for playback by the originating device. The server receives, via the communication link, a response from the originating device, and, in response to authenticating the response, routes the incoming call to the receiving device. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract:

The named inventors claim discovery of synergistic anti-cancer effects of combinations of one or more sea cucumber glycosides such as Frondoside A or other sea cucumber glycosides and Andrographolide or an Andrographolide analog, wherein the biological effects are may be more beneficial than the single components making up the said invention. The inventors claim new methods and compositions of matter to treat cancer in mammals, and additionally a method to effectively treat cancer stem cells in mammals, with a composition comprised of one or more sea cucumber glycosides and Andrographolide, or an andrographolide analog.
