Abstract: A method for transmitting encoded data between synchronized sending and receiving digital systems across a lossy transmission media, said sending and receiving digital systems maintaining encoder and decoder information records, said method comprising the steps of: encoding packet data to be transmitted by said sending digital system using encoding information in an encoder information record that has been previously acknowledged by said receiving digital system; building a new encoder information record including the encoding information used to encode said packet data as well as the encoded packet data; transmitting the encoded packet data to said receiving digital system as a packet including a header having a packet number and a tag identifying the encoding information used to encode the packet data; when the packet is received by said receiving digital system, examining the header to determine the encoding information used to encode said packet data; decoding the packet using corresponding decoder information in said decoder information record and updating the decoder information in said decoder information record using said packet; acknowledging processing of the packet to said sending digital system to enable said sending digital system to update said encoder information so that said newencoder information record is used to encode packet data; and when the packet is lost, conditioning said encoder information to rebuild the new encoder information without the lost packet data.
Patent CA-2309069-C (CA)
Inventor: OSTROVSKY JOHN
IPC: G09F1/12
Filed: 2000-05-19
Granted: 2002-08-06
Abstract: A poster or banner hanger, which may also comprise a member of a picture frame, consists of an elongate flat base which supports a picture, and a flip-open cover rotatably mounted to the base. A wall extends the length of the base, and positions a picture within the member. The cover and base are urged together by biassing means, consisting of a generally striplike member joining the wall and cover. Compressive forces between the biassing means and the wall are absorbed by a resilient hinge, which assists in converting compressive forces, into a force urging the cover and base together. This is achieved at least in part by the biassing means and cover meeting at an acute angle, which forces the cover downwardly in response to a compressive force exerted by the biassing means.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de gestion de régime (PMC) qui assure la commande et la représentation graphique de plusieurs dispositifs et composants électriques d'un système de distribution électrique. Le système PMC comprend un affichage tabulaire personnalisé qui dispose de liaisons avec une base de données, permettant de visualiser des données de mesure fournies par les différents dispositifs et composants électriques d'un système de distribution électrique. Cet assistant intelligent emploie une méthode simple de sélection et d'affichage de paramètres importants pour l'utilisateur, durant le fonctionnement du système PMC. Le système graphique comprend environ de une à douze colonnes d'informations représentant les données de mesure du dispositif visé. On établit un affichage tabulaire de manière automatique en utilisant un logiciel appelé assistant intelligent d'affichage tabulaire. Celui-ci automatise la configuration de l'affichage tabulaire personnalisé, qui est personnalisable, permettant à l'intégrateur d'établir rapidement une interface de données tabulaire, sans connaissances de programmation. Par ailleurs, cet assistant est activé par fichier, moyennant quoi on peut ajouter un nouveau dispositif et son information de marquage associée en procédant simplement à l'édition des fichiers associés. Enfin, l'assistant permet l'édition d'unités et de descriptions de données, et on peut donc l'utiliser dans les applications linguistiques internationales.

IPC: H04M15/02
Filed: 2001-06-18
Granted: 2007-06-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for providing pre-pay and post-pay calls. A switching system receives the call where the switching system is class 4 or class 5. The switching system extends the call toward an integrated service platform. The switching system then receives the call destination number and the call validation parameter. The switching system releases the call extension to the integrated service platform and extends the call using the call destination number if the call validation parameter allows the call. The switching system monitors a duration of the call and terminates the call if the duration meets or exceeds an amount indicated by the call validation parameter. One advantage for post- pay calls is the provision of post-pay calls service such as messaging and validation is centralized in the integrated service platform, which reduces the time and cost of maintaining the post-pay service.
