Patent CA-2673673-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARDIN GLEN
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2007-12-21
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting content delivery service are described. In accordance with the invention content can be supplied to temporary storage of a regional or local server used to supply the content to a customer's premises when the requested content is not already available in the regional or local server. A content server hierarchy may be implemented with servers higher up in the hierarchy including more content, e.g., titles, than the number of titles stored in the lower level servers. By storing less frequently accessed content in servers higher in the hierarchy and frequently requested titles lower in the hierarchy, a vast number of titles can be supported without overburdening the storage available at local and regional servers. In addition, a national or other server high in the hierarchy can be used to store, move, and distribute local or other content as part of an on demand service.

Title: Method and apparatus for protecting simlock information in an electronic device
Inventor: GEHRMANN CHRISTIAN
IPC: G06F21/24
Filed: 2008-04-07
Abstract: The teachings herein present a method and apparatus for protecting usage restriction data that governs usage of an electronic device. A cryptographic circuit supports secure and non-secure accesses. When non-securely accessed, it is operable only to verify the stored usage restriction data, and, when securely accessed, it is operable to generate a new message authentication code for changed usage restriction data, for subsequent authentication of that data. The usage restriction data may be stored in non-secure memory and may include static and dynamic parts. One or more embodiments include a secure circuit indicating whether the device has been initialized. The cryptographic circuit outputs a message authentication code for the static part using a permanent device key from the secure circuit, only if the device has not been initialized, and outputs a message authentication code for the dynamic part as needed to support authorized changes to the dynamic part.

Patent CA-2694001-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FINOTTI PAOLA
IPC: A61K39/395
Filed: 2008-06-30
Abstract: Complexes are described that form in vitro following incubation of "Heat Shock Protein" (HSP) "Glucose-regulated Protein" 94 (Grp94) with human non-immune immunoglobulin G. Results show that complexes of Grp94-1gG are resistant to de-naturing agents. Moreover, complexes display an important cytokine-like property that can be exploited to induce positive effects of immuno-modulation in pathologies characterized by either a reduced or exacerbated immune response. In addition, stability of Grp94-1gG complexes make them useful as diagnostic tools to detect antibodies directed against Grp94 in various pathological con-ditions.

Abstract: Air entrained vortex or submerged vortex may form when water or liquid is pumped by a pump. These vortices cause damaging vibrations to the pump and its motor and results in inefficient operation with reduced pumping capacity. Typical remedial measures to reduce, eliminate and/or prevent these objectionable vortices from being formed or produced include the use of top submerged boundary around the pump pipe, hydro cone at the pump entrance or bell mouth entrance and baffles of different shapes and arrangements installed in the pump pit and/or at the pump entrance and are shown, for example in the United States of America patent number 6533543 dated March 18, 2003 by Tagomori, et al. Though such remedial measures have achieved limited success, there has been a continuing need for improvements.  This invention relates to the creation or application of surface roughness to top submerged boundaries around the pump pipe, to hydro cones at the pump entrance or bell mouth entrance, to baffles of different shapes and arrangements installed in the pump pit and/or at the pump entrance, to the pump entrance or bell mouth entrance, to the pump pipe, to the pump pit walls and/or to the pump pit floor in order to effectively reduce, eliminate and/or prevent the said vortices from being formed or produced.
