Inventor: GARAKANI MEHRYAR K
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2003-05-09
Abstract: A modem data aggregating gateway that supports modem relay functionality for permitting reliable switching of modem traffic between a VoIP network and a data packet switch Internet Protocol (IP) network, s.a. the Internet. The modem relay aggregator may receive modem data encapsulated as Voice over IP  (VoIP) data packets in accordance with a Simple Packet Relay Transport (SPRT) mechanism. The packet data may be error corrected and/or decompressed before being repackage for forwarding to the ultimate destination. In the event that the destination is itself an IP device, the modem relay aggregator may forward the packets directly over the IP network. As a result, if the destination of a modem call is an IP device (such as a web site or other Internet-enabled device) the technique eliminates two points from a processing path in which digital signal processing (DSPs) would otherwise have to perform modem protocol processing. Otherwise, minimal modem reformatting can be performed at the aggregation point.

Title: System and method for maintaining a network connection
Inventor: DUNK CRAIG A
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2005-02-24
Abstract: A system and method for maintaining a persistent connection is provided. In an embodiment, a system includes a client that connects to a web-server via physical link that is bandwidth-constrained.

IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2005-05-24
Abstract: Tables are defined to permit output masking for table look-ups to be carried out to resist power analysis attacks on cryptographic operations. A set of individually defined random values is used to mask each entry in a substitution table, defining a masked substitution table. A mask table is also defined such that the values of each entry, masked with the corresponding random value, is the value of a fixed mask. The masked substitution tables and the mask tables may be used in cryptographic operations to permit the output of table look-ups to be masked, without directly using the fixed mask value in the computations of the cryptographic operations.

Title: Power and safety control hub
Inventor: BUCELLA THOMAS JOHN
IPC: H02H7/10
Filed: 2005-09-28
Abstract: This power and safety control hub for overall power control, safety control and power distribution integrates fault tolerant power disconnect control, software monitoring of disconnect and multi-voltage power distribution and disconnect with non-hazardous power control, EMI filtering and multi-circuit current protection in a single unit. In addition, it implements electromagnetic, single fault tolerant, safety control circuits without using positively driven contact relays. It coordinates the shutdown of any connected mechanical drives such as servo motor drives, stepper motor drives and variable speed drives autonomously commanding them to come to a controlled stop before safety power is disconnected (when networked controls are used). It also integrates segmented hazardous power control (load/unload and main machine/equipment areas) so that the main area can be operating while the load/unload area has power disconnected.  Further, it automatically discharges energy sources within connected mechanical drives at the time of safety power disconnect of hazardous power. It also utilizes a safety control and monitoring algorithm that automatically forces the test on e-stop switches and interlocks in a machine each time the machine is powered up or reset. In addition, it has a state driven safety control and monitoring algorithm that pinpoints wiring and device problems for rapid debug. It includes internal self protection that automatically forces a control safety power disconnect (after warning the host) if the unit should approach its maximum operating temperature, or if a cooling fan stops. Further, it incorporates safety monitoring software for the synchronous de-bouncing of the interlock and e-stop switch inputs (as a vector) to eliminate false trips. It also integrates a comprehensive audible overcurrent trip indicator as well as individual visual overcurrent indicators in the power distribution system and an e-stop reset function into the machine on-off front panel switch. Finally, our power and safety control hub for overall power control, safety control and power distribution includes a "soft-off' circuit that automatically shuts off the machine when the power supply voltage to a host computer is shut down.

Patent CA-2541532-A1 (CA)
Title: Sliding window arrangement
Inventor: D EON ANTHONY P
IPC: B64C1/14
Filed: 2006-03-31
Abstract: A sliding window for use in an opening in a supporting structure. The window comprises a plurality of glazing materials, an interior trim ring, and a housing having a plurality of tracks and at least one drain passage connecting each track to a surface on the housing. The drain passages are positioned downwardly from each track through the housing to a position on the surface of housing which is in fluid communication with an exterior environment. The components that comprise the window frame that holds the glazing materials can be economically produced from a unitary blank. The vertical orientation of the drain passages limits the possibility that the passages will become blocked, and thus unable to drain the water from the tracks. Furthermore, each drain passage connects the track directly to the exterior environment to avoid the possibility of one drain passage becoming blocked and urging water back into another track.
Patent CA-2545450-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and system for torsional wave inspection of heat exchanger tubes
Inventor: CRANE JAMES F
IPC: G01M13/00
Filed: 2004-10-12
Abstract: The invention provides an improved method and device for inspecting heat exchanger tubes (410) from within the tube inside diameter that overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art. It adapts a guided-wave probe approach that makes use of a torsional wave mode instead of a longitudinal wave node disclosed in the prior art. The torsional wave mode (T) has many advantages over the longitudinal wave mode (L) for detecting defects. When energized by suitable instrumentation, the probe (400) is caused to generate a torsional mode signal that is transmitted to the heat exchanger tube (410) from the waveguide tube (460). When reflected signals from defects in the heat exchanger tube (410) walls are returned to the inspection opening end of the heat exchanger tube (410), the reflected defect signals are transmitted to the probe waveguide tube (460) for amplification, detection and characterization of the reflected signal.
