Title: Artificial larynx
Inventor: KATZ P
IPC: A61F2/20
Filed: 1982-03-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a completely self-contained intraoral larynx comprising a power source, tongue activated controls, power saving signal generation circuitry, acoustic and audio amplifiers, and an intra- oral speaker. These components are contained within an otherwise conventional denture or dental prosthesis. The device produces a high amplitude sound while minimizing current drain from the power source. Laryngectomized patients require only short term training by a speech pathologist to use this device. Intelligible speech is usual within an hour of such training, and facility rapidly improves. The psychological barriers, post-operative physical limitations, aesthetic concerns and limited gestural communication traditionally associated with the use of extra-oral larynges is eliminated by the present invention.

Title: Demultiplexer control system and method
Inventor: MANSBRIDGE JOHN
IPC: H04B10/00
Filed: 2000-04-28
Granted: 2003-12-03
Abstract: There is provided an system for controlling the demultiplexing process in an optical backplane device (100). The system has application to optical switching in high-speed digital communication routers and switches. In demultiplexing, a selected compressed data packet (120) is extracted from a multiplexed stream of compressed packets by a modulator (102) and decompressed (104). The modulator (102) is controlled by a control signal (112). An error in the timing of the modulator control signal (112) corresponds to a characteristic distortion in the decompressed signal (116). By monitoring the effect of timing errors on decompressed signals (116), steps can be taken to correct the timing errors by controlling delays in either the optical or the electronic parts of the switching device. The timing of modulator control pulses (112) is thus continuously adjusted to minimise timing errors. Instead of monitoring just decompressed signals (116), calibration pulse trains of known value and suitable form can be inserted.

Title: Method and apparatus for authenticating connections to a storage system coupled to a network
Inventor: BLUMENAU STEVEN M
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 1999-06-16
Granted: 2003-04-16
Abstract: A data management technique for managing accesses to data at a shared storage system includes a filter at the storage system. The filter is coupled to a configuration table, which identifies which of a number of coupled host processors have accesses to each of the resources at the device. During operation, requests received from the host devices are filtered by the filter, and only those requests to resources that the individual host devices have privilege to access are serviced. Advantageously, data security is further enhanced by authenticating each of the requests received by the storage system to verify that the host processor that is represented as forwarding the request is the indicated host processor. In addition, transfers of data between the storage system and the host processor may be validated to ensure that data was not corrupted during the data transfer.
