Title: Real time answerprint timing system and method
Inventor: REYNOLDS TIMOTHY G
IPC: G03B27/54
Filed: 2003-04-01
Granted: 2010-11-09
Abstract: A method and system for color correcting and completing answerprints in preparation for making final copies of motion pictures for distribution. A  light system is provided in which colors of the light projected through a film (22) toward a viewing screen (24) can be individually and incrementally adjusted as desired for use by a color "Timer" who is an individual that selects color corrections on a scene-by-scene basis until a suitable look is achieved. Color correction is performed in real time while watching the film scene projected on the screen. The color adjustments are stored and subsequently used to control a motion picture film printer when printing a corrected version of scenes of the film.

Title: Lumber unscrambler
Inventor: ROBITAILLE PASCAL ANDRE JOSEPH
IPC: B65G25/02
Filed: 2004-09-13
Granted: 2013-02-19
Abstract: A lumber unscrambles and conveyor having first and second rigid units mounted at an incline on a support structure. Each unit has a plurality of spaced apart parallel plates. The plates on the respective first and second units are inter-leaved in alternate relation. The plates have an upwardly facing article supporting surface and a leading edge generally transverse to the incline. The leading edge of plates, proximate the in-feed end, are of greater depth than those further along the inclined path toward the out-feed end. The units are supported on the support structure to move relative thereto and one another. The units are driven in synchronized out of phase relation reciprocating along the inclined path. A hopper at the in-feed end receives and holds a supply of lumber pieces of selected dimension and as the plates reciprocate they move pieces of the lumbar from the hopper to the out-feed end discharging normally only a single stick one after another.

Abstract: A payment authentication service authenticates the identity of a payer during online transactions. The authentication service allows a card issuer to verify a cardholder's (110) identity using a variety of authentication methods, such as with the use of tokens. Authenticating the identity of a cardholder (110) during an online transaction involves querying an access control server to determine if a cardholder (110) is enrolled in the payment authentication service, requesting a password from the cardholder, verifying the password, and notifying a merchant whether the cardholder's (110) authenticity has been verified. Systems for imp lementing the authentication service in which a cardholder (110) uses a mobile device capable of transmitting messages via the Internet are described. Systems for implementing the authentication service in which a cardholder (110) uses a mobile device capable of transmitting messages through voice and messaging channels is also described.

Title: Stress relief in fibre optic arrays
Inventor: SEZERMAN OMUR M
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 2002-08-16
Granted: 2011-09-20
Abstract: A mechanism for achieving symmetrical stress loads on operating optical fibers (16) held in fibre optic arrays includes, in one embodiment, the provision of a pair of non-operating or dummy fibres (26), each located outboard of the outermost or curb fibres (16") of the array. All of the fibres, whether operating or dummy, are held in corresponding grooves (18, 24) in a substrate (12). A cover plate (14) may be positioned thereover while a low stress glue or potting compound (22) is introduced or applied so as to completely encapsulate the fibres. The glue or potting compound will symmetrically surround all of the operating fibres whereby not only any inboard operating fibres (16'), but also the outboard operating curb fibres (16"), are symmetrically encapsulated. In this manner all of the operating fibres are subject to the same stresses and consequently will exhibit essentially the same polarization maintaining behavior. The invention is primarily beneficial with polarization-maintaining optical fibres, but will work effectively with other types of optical fibres as well, wherever stress is a concern.

Abstract: An animal water bowl assembly is maintained clean by allowing a bowl to dry out after a use period, before refilling. Uses include: birdbath and pet and farm animal watering. Two bowls can be coordinated so that one is in use with water while one is drying out. A two-faced assembly with oppositely facing bowls can automatically coordinate the steps for the two bowls. The process of filling a bowl, allowing it to be used, emptying it, filling another, allowing it to be used while the first dries out, can be automated with an actuator and a controller. An animal water bowl assembly has at least two bowls, with means for coordinating the filling and use and drying steps. As an example, a two faced bowl is rotatable around an axis. An electronic controller opens a valve to provide power to a hydraulic actuator, which flips the two faced bowl to empty the first and present the second for filling. Filling with water occurs automatically, also using water from the hydraulic source. Many versions only require a user to set a duration on a controller, during which time hydraulic power is provided, which duration is sufficient to flip and fill the two bowls of an assembly. Flipping and filling occur automatically at the right times. A  user interface has a single valve, and a single cycle. The user sets a period for activation, and the duration that power is provided. More than two bowls can be used. Electromechanical, rather than hydraulic power can be used to actuate the assembly.
