Patent CA-2291044-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GROSSER JOHN T
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 1998-12-22
Abstract: A method for uniquely identifying a file, along with its particular version ID, used in an application program by a central processing unit provides a system for file security. The method computes a CRC for a file and then appends a version string and CRC at the end of the file according to its version ID. The added CRC/version record information is non-destructive. Once appended, the record will be transported with the file when ever it is moved or copied. CRC allows the integrity of the file to be verified at any time and is used to detect viruses or corrupted or tampered files at startup and also during runtimes of the file and its associated application. The operating system will store the new file length in a file allocation table and will also copy a file seal with the file. When used with a set of files for a particular installation, the file seal provides a unique bill of a materials to identify the exact file contents of the particular installation. Down loadable files will then be compared with the allocation table to verify the version of the files and will provide error messages if they are not compatible with the installed system base.

Title: Method for time based shadow rendering
Inventor: GARDINER HAROLD DEE
IPC: G06T15/60
Filed: 1999-12-02
Abstract: A method for rendering large-area time-based shadows.      A first step is to pre-process a database of three dimensional constructs that define all primitives and attributes of the primitives in a three dimensional simulated environment. The pre-processing step determines the time relevant behavior of the shadows by calculating an angle at which the primitive is illuminated, and an angle at which illumination ceases. The second step is to process the database at run-time using the pre-processed database of three dimensional constructs and pre-calculated illumination and no-illumination angles.

Abstract: A refrigerator damper control and lighting assembly is mounted to a top wall of a fresh food compartment. The housing includes dials which are accessible from the front of the housing to a user to control thermostat and to control a damper located on a rear wall of the refrigerator. The dial controlling the damper has a post onto which a connecting arm to the damper interconnects the damper with the dial so that rotation of the dial effectively operates the control of the damper. The dial has a peripheral flange that extends around only a portion of the circumference of the dial and is adapted to contact opposing sides of the connecting arm to thereby limit rotational movement of the dial and which in-turn limits opening and closing movement of the damper depending on direction of rotational movement of the dial. Further, the housing includes a recessed lamp receiving section which is provided with direct line of sight to the dials so as to allow for light to be directed rearwardly or towards the front of the housing to illuminate the dials while at the same time projecting light into the fresh food compartment.

Abstract: A system and a method for code division multiple access (CDMA) communication. The system includes fixed terminals communicating with a central base station. The terminals in protection sectors of each sector are configured to employ codes from different sets of codes to overcome potential mutual interference between sectors on account of antenna radiation pattern roll-off. The remaining codes; preferably the majority of the available codes, are used in any one of a plurality of basic sectors, each of which separates the protection sectors of a respective sector. For an even number of sectors in a cell, the available codes are partitioned into three groups, two for the protection sectors and one for the basic sectors. For an odd number of sectors in a cell, the available codes are partitioned into four groups, three for the protection sectors and one for the basic sectors. Protection sectors are relatively narrow but broad enough to counteract the potential mutual interference between sectors.

Patent CA-2304342-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DOYLE MICHAEL D
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1998-09-22
Abstract: Irrefutable public key digital signature time-stamps (1040) are created and used based upon, for example, the concept of transient time-interval-related secret cryptographic keys (2010), which are used to digitally sign (2030) submitted data during specific time intervals, and then permanently destroyed (2040). The public-key correlate for each time interval is saved for future authentication of the content of time-stamped data and time of creation of time-stamped data. The validity of the public keys is ensured through the certification of each time interval's public key using the previous time interval's secret key, immediately before that secret key is destroyed.

Title: Method and apparatus for communication with a downhole tool
Inventor: CLARK BRIAN
IPC: E21B43/14
Filed: 2000-09-25
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for communication with a downhole tool including uphole (or remote) and downhole equipment. The uphole or remote equipment includes a signal source (or array) coupled to a programmable triggering system and a precision clock. Optionally, the uphole equipment may include receivers for capturing reference signals near the source and may include telemetry equipment for receiving MWD signals from the downhole equipment. The downhole equipment includes one or more receivers, signal processing equipment, memory, and a precision clock. Optionally, the downhole equipment also includes MWD telemetry equipment for transmitting data to the surface. The methods include, but are not limited to, synchronizing the recordation of signals detected downhole with the firing of the signal source and processing the recorded signals to eliminate useless information. The methods present several techniques for true source signal recognition whereby actual signal information is extracted from the recordings of the receivers so that the ultimate stored data is compact and virtually 100% useful. This elimination of useless data conserves valuable telemetry time and/or enables longer operation of the apparatus before tripping out to retrieve stored data by using memory efficiently.
