IPC: H04L12/16
Filed: 2005-11-23
Abstract: Methods, systems, and engines are presented for synchronizing contents of removable storage devices with a multimedia network. In one implementation, a change in status of a connection between a removable storage device and a multimedia network is detected. A network inventory list of recordings is updated, triggered by the change in connection status. A change in the recording content, associated metadata, or digital rights of a recording may also trigger an update of the network inventory list. A network scheduler can use the updated network inventory list to accurately reflect those recordings actually available to the multimedia network for playback and recording, or available to an unauthorized user for purchase, including the recordings on removable storage devices.

Title: Methods and apparatus for terminating use of quick paging channel based on high capacity power source usage
Inventor: WILLEY WILLIAM DANIEL
IPC: H04M1/00
Filed: 2004-12-08
Abstract: In one illustrative example, a mobile communication device has a wireless transceiver; an antenna coupled to the wireless transceiver; one or more processors couples to the wireless transceiver; and a power source interface which is adapted to connect with a power source for supplying electrical power to the mobile device. The one or more processors are operative to monitor a quick paging channel of a wireless communication network with use of the wireless transceiver; identify whether a predetermined power source is connected to the power source interface; cause an indication to terminate use of the quick paging channel to be transmitted with the wireless transceiver to the wireless network based on identifying that the predetermined power source is connected to the power source interface; and refrain from monitoring the quick paging channel with the wireless transceiver after sending the indication to the wireless network. In one specific implementation, the mobile device delays for a time period until a message used for registration is sent to the wireless network and provides the indication within this message.

Title: Electrosurgical generator
Inventor: KOCIECKI JOHN
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 2004-07-12
Abstract: An electrosurgical generator which provides a constant power output particularly suited for cutting arc formation at an active electrode which exhibits a dynamic active surface area of varying geometry. Essentially constant power-based control is achieved through the utilization of a d.c.  link voltage the level of which functions to establish the amplitude of the output of an RF resonant inverter. A dual loop feedback control is described wherein output power based control signals are slowly introduced at low gain, while link voltage based controls are comparatively rapidly applied. Enhanced development of a controlling d.c. link voltage is achieved through the utilization of an input network incorporating a power factor correction stage.

IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2005-12-14
Abstract: Systems and methods for validating integrity of an executable file are described. In one aspect, multiple partial image hashes are generated, the combination of which represent a digest of an entire executable file.  Subsequent to loading the executable file on a computing device, a request to page a portion of the executable file into memory for execution is intercepted. Responsive to intercepting the request, and prior to paging the portion into memory for execution, a validation hash of the portion is computed. The validation hash is compared to a partial hash of the multiple partial image hashes to determine code integrity of the portion. The partial hash represents a same code segment as the portion.

Title: Electrostatically driven latchable actuator system
Inventor: OKA NAOMASA
IPC: H01H59/00
Filed: 2004-08-25
Abstract: An electrostatically driven latchable actuator system has an actuator and a pair of side effectors on opposite ends of the actuator. The actuator is resiliently supported to a substrate and is movable along a linear axis between two operative positions as being electrically attracted to one of the side effectors. A latch mechanism is provided to mechanically latch the actuator at either of the operative positions. The side effectors are movably towards and away from the actuator along the linear axis between a normal position and a shifted position close to the actuator. Both of the side effectors are also resiliently supported to the substrate to be movable towards the actuator by being electrostatically attracted thereto and away from the actuator by resiliency. The moving side effector is interlocked to the latch mechanism through a mechanical link so as to unlatch the actuator in response to one of the side effectors being attracted to the actuator, and allow the actuator to move from one operative position to the other operative position to be again latched thereat.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the intrathecal (IT) administration of recombinant enzyme to treat lysosomal storage disorders. In an exemplary embodiment, intrathecal administration of human .alpha.-L-iduronidase (rhIDU) injections in MPS I affected animals resulted in significant enzyme uptake, significant rh-iduronidase activity in brain and meninges and a decrease of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) storage in cells of MPS I subjects to that of normal subjects. Intrathecal administration proved more effective than intravenous treatment at alleviating MPS I symptoms, indicating it is a useful method of treating lysosomal storage disorders.

Title: Deflector for grinding chaff in swath mode
Inventor: LAUER FRITZ K
IPC: A01F12/44
Filed: 2006-04-27
Abstract: The invention concerns a combine harvester, with a separating mechanism from which a first crop stream can go optionally to a straw chopper in a chopping operating mode or bypass the straw chopper in a straw deposit mode and be placed as a swath on the ground of a field, a cleaning mechanism, from which a second crop residue stream in the chopping mode and in the straw deposit mode can be taken to the straw chopper, and a guide mechanism that is arranged downstream from the straw chopper and can move optionally between a straw depositing position and a chopping position. It is proposed that the guide mechanism be oriented so that in its straw depositing position it deflects downward a portion of the second crop stream oriented in the direction of the first crop stream being ejected, and in its chopping position it does not significantly deflect the flow of the two crop streams.

IPC: G01S7/486
Filed: 2004-01-14
Abstract: Pushbroom and flash lidar operations outside the visible spectrum, most preferably in near-IR but also in IR and UV, are enabled by inserting - ahead of a generally conventional lidar receiver front end - a device that receives light scattered from objects and in response forms corresponding light of a different wavelength from the scattered light. Detailed implementations using arrays of discrete COTS components - most preferably PIN diodes and VCSELs, with intervening semicustom amplifiers - are discussed, as is use of a known monolithic converter. Differential and ratioing multispectral measurements, particularly including UV data, are enabled through either spatial-sharing (e.g. plural-slit) or time-sharing.
