Patent CA-2599253-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLUM NAFTALY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2006-02-24
Abstract: The invention proposes a priority-sensitive reallocation of buffer space shared among multiple ports. When reallocating, a share of buffer space allocated to one port is reduced by emptying occupied buffer space. The emptying of occupied 10 buffer space is performed in accordance with traffic priorities. Upon emptying the buffer space is reallocated to another port. The present invention allows for improved processing of quality of service traffic in systems with dynamic allocation of buffer space.

Abstract: The invention provides a backpack (10) and cooperating waist bag (100) carrying system. In one embodiment the backpack has a lower or lumbar region below the bag portion of the backpack that releasably contains the receiver of the waist bag when the belt of the waist bag is secured around the bearer's waist and the backpack is worn on the bearer's back. The receiver of the waist bag can be moved without having to take off the backpack so that the receiver of the waist bag is disposed to the bearer's front and the bearer can gain access to the contents of the receiver. The bearer can then move the receiver back to the lower region of the backpack and the combination of the backpack and the waist bag then will appear to be a normal backpack with a waist belt. While moving the receiver, the waist bag remains operatively connected to the backpack.

Inventor: TODD TERENCE D
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2007-10-23
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for use in switching communication operations between a wireless local area network (WLAN) (e.g. an IEEE 802.11-based network) and a wireless wide area network (WWAN) (e.g. a cellular telecommunications network) for a mobile communication device are disclosed. A network support node which is utilized to facilitate such transitioning has a first communication interface (e.g. an Ethernet interface) for connection with a communication network which includes the WLAN and a second communication interface (e.g. a cellular radio air interface) for communicating with a base station of the WWAN over a wireless communication link. The mobile device initially operates in the WLAN in a communication session with another communication device.  During the session, the network support node receives an indication that the mobile device is transitioning from the WLAN to the WWAN. In response to receiving the indication, the network support node causes a message to be sent which instructs a router of the communication network to communicate voice data of the session to it. In response to the message, the network support node receives voice data of the session from the router through its first communication interface. The network support node communicates the voice data with the mobile device via the WWAN through its second communication interface over the wireless communication link with the base station. These communications are performed at least while communication operations for the mobile device are being switched from the WLAN to the WWAN. Advantageously, disruption of communications during the WLAN-to-WWAN transition is reduced or eliminated.

Title: Method of preventing collision of two lift cages movable in the same shaft of a lift installation, and corresponding lift installation
Inventor: KOCHER HANS
IPC: B66B1/32
Filed: 2007-12-19
Abstract: Method of preventing a collision of two lift cages (A1, A2) of a lift installation, which cages move substantially independently of one another in a common shaft, and a lift installation.  A collision protection system (20) produces a retardation of each moved lift cage (A1, A2) by a stopping brake as soon as the effective distance between the lift cages (A1, A2) falls below a critical minimum distance. After retardation of the cages (A1, A2) by the stopping brakes, an emergency stop system comes into function. A control system of this emergency stop system ascertains the instantaneous movement state of the lift cages (A1, A2). With the help of cage brakes, which are associated with the lift cages (A1, A2), an additional retardation of each moved lift cage (A1, A2) is triggered when the movement state thereof fulfils definable emergency stop criteria.

Title: Method and system for locating landmarks on 3d models
Inventor: AZOUZ ZOUHOUR BEN
IPC: G06V10/84
Filed: 2007-02-27
Abstract: A plurality of landmarks are automatically located on a 3-dimensional polygonal mesh of connected vertices. A probabilistic graph is generated for the plurality of landmarks pre-identified on each of a first set of 3-dimensional models. The graph represents local surface characteristics for each landmark and relational positions between neighboring pairs of landmarks. Local surface characteristics are determined for each vertex of the mesh. For each landmark, a set of the vertices is identified that satisfies a criteria based on a surface difference between the vertex local surface characteristics and the landmark local surface characteristics. A relational position for each pair of vertices from the sets of vertices corresponding to the neighboring pairs is determined based on the graph. One of the vertices is determined for each of the plurality of landmarks to minimize the surface difference and the relational difference for the landmark.
