RFC 977 (rfc977) - Network News Transfer Protocol (6356 words) |
 | RFC 977 February 1986 Network News Transfer Protocol In the traditional method of distributing news articles, news is propagated from host to host by flooding - that is, each host will send all its new news articles on to each host that it feeds. |
 | RFC 977 February 1986 Network News Transfer Protocol There is no prohibition against additional commands being added; however, it is recommended that any such unspecified command begin with the letter "X" to avoid conflict with later revisions of this specification. |
 | This is both to facilitate the presentation of articles that may be referenced within an article RFC 977 February 1986 Network News Transfer Protocol being read, and because of the semantic difficulties of determining the proper sequence and membership of an article which may have been posted to more than one newsgroup. |
| Class Definition for Class 977 - NANOTECHNOLOGY (5138 words) |
 | Special properties and functionalities should be interpreted broadly, and are defined as those properties and functionalities that are significant, distinctive, non-nominal, noteworthy, or unique as a result of the nanoscale dimension. |
 | Apparatus for manufacturing nanostructures, nanomaterials and nanodevices under the scope of Class 977 is generally limited to apparatus specifically adapted for creating ordered structures on a nanometer scale, i.e., apparatus for "bottom up" manufacturing to create larger structures from atomic and molecular constituents. |
 | Protein engineering is provided for elsewhere in Class 530 such as directed to synthesis of enhanced function protein via a new amino acid sequence, for example, to induce a newly folded form with greater biological activity. |
