Title: Data analysis of measurements
Inventor: KANGRU PER
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2006-05-03
Abstract: A system 100 and method for providing an electronic report and presentation of measurements 21, such as calls in a telephone network. The system 100 allows the selection of measurement attributes 45 and measurement attribute values 45A in which to view statistical graphs 47, provide the statistical graphs, and allow the selection of a part of one of the statistical graphs, for example a bar in a bar graph, to filter the measurements 21, such as calls, by that measurement attribute, such as establish cause and measurement attribute value 45A, such as terminating conversational call. The system 100 can further allow the filtering of measurements 21 by the selected measurement attribute 45 and selected measurement attribute value 45A, the displaying of a new statistical graph 47, and the selection of a part of the new statistical graph 47. These steps of drilling down could be repeated until selection is made to display the actual measurements 21 from which the statistics have been gathered.

Title: Dial indicator system
Inventor: MURRAY JOSEPH WILLIAM
IPC: G01D13/26
Filed: 2005-10-21
Abstract: A device for indicating the magnitude of a physical parameter, such as pressure, temperature or flow rate, has a movable pointer (1), a receiving antenna (4b, 4c) and a transmitting antenna (4a). The transmitting antenna (4a) generates an electromagnetic field in the vicinity of the pointer (1), so that an electrical signal is induced in the receiving antenna (4b, 4c). An inductive component (3) in the form of an electrically resonant circuit is connected to the pointer (1). Movement of the inductive component (3) in the electromagnetic field generated by the transmitting antenna 4a affects the electrical signal induced in the receiving antenna (4b, 4c) such that the signal induced in the receiving antenna (4b, 4c) is indicative of the displacement of the pointer. The device has the advantage that a simple mechanical indicator can be configured to produce an electrical reading by applying a simple passive inductive component to the pointer (3).

Title: Photonic interconnect system
Inventor: BEAUSOLEIL RAYMOND G
IPC: H04B10/80
Filed: 2004-10-06
Abstract: A photonic interconnect system (300) avoids high capacitance electric interconnects by using optical signals to communicate data between devices. The system can provide massively parallel information output by mapping logical addresses to frequency bands, so that modulation of a selected frequency band can encode information for a specific location corresponding to the logical address. Wavelength-specific directional couplers (600), modulators (660), and detectors (650) for the photonic interconnect system can be efficiently fabricated at defects in a photonic bandgap crystal. Drop filters (422) and add filters (424) are used to direct light having a respective frequency component to and from moletronic storage tiles.

IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2005-12-08
Abstract: A method is disclosed for discovering the device in the different wireless computer networks. The wireless computer network is set for wireless devices. The network uses the wireless network name (SSID) identifier, and there is the array used to indicate the device type in the SSID identifier, and the corresponding relation between the array used to indicate the device type and the device type is set at the user terminal. The method comprises the following steps that: A. the user terminal searches the currently available wireless computer network in the wireless computer network environment, and acquires the SSID corresponding to the current and available wireless computer network. B. the user terminals determine what device type the array corresponds to in the SSID acquired based on the corresponding relation, and display the device icon of the device type that corresponds to the SSID at the user terminal. The method enables the user terminal to quickly and conveniently discover the device which does not belong to the same wireless computer network with the user terminal.

Title: Generating a security signature based on face analysis
Inventor: TAN BAOLIN
IPC: G06F21/10
Filed: 2007-10-22
Abstract: A method of generating a security signature for video content comprises analysing a segment of video content, having a run time t, to determine one or more faces in the content, and outputting the analysis results as a data signature describing at least part of the video segment. An associated apparatus, comprising a face detection and analysis module, is also independently claimed. The method may be used to control access to video content over a network via comparison with stored data signatures. Various facial properties may be used to form the signature, such as face temporal or position coordinates, presence or absence, coterminous appearances of faces, and face identity; faces appearing less than a predetermined number of times may be discarded. Unlike other protection techniques, there is no requirement to embed identification data, such as a watermark, in the video content. Furthermore, as face information in the video content cannot be altered without detriment to the content entertainment value, the technique is robust to protection countermeasures.

Title: Method for configuring power supply units for a power supply grid
Inventor: BRUNDRIDGE MICHAEL A
IPC: H02J3/00
Filed: 2008-01-08
Abstract: An information handling system can include a set of blade servers located in a chassis. Three phase power supplies require connections to the three incoming power supply phases, which requires a correctly wired connection module. Single phase power supplies may be connected to two of the incoming phases. In a method of employing a power supply grid an identification initiation command is transmitted from a control module 202 to a first power supply unit 222 to initiate a corresponding identification command. The identification command is transmitted from the first power supply unit 222 to other power supply unit(s) 224 that are supplied with power using a power supply phase in common with the first power supply unit 222. Identification acknowledgement signal(s) are transmitted from the other power supply unit(s) 224 to the control module 202 in response to the first corresponding identification command. In one embodiment, the method can include mapping which power supply units correspond to various power supply grids. In other embodiments, control modules and power distribution systems can be operable to perform portions of the methods. This reduces the problems of manually mapping a large number of single phase power supplies to three incoming power supply phases.

IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2009-06-29
Abstract: Seismic data is acquired at a plurality of locations and processed by a method comprising interpolating and/or extrapolating the seismic data to estimate seismic data at a target location different from the acquisition locations. The interpolation and/or extrapolation is performed in a polar coordinate system.
