Abstract: A power supply apparatus is provided for supplying power and communications within a first piping structure. An external power transfer de-vice (42) is positioned around the first piping structure (24) and is magneti-cally coupled to an internal power transfer device (44). The internal power transfer device (44) is positioned around a second piping structure (26) dis-posed within the first piping structure (24).

Abstract: A method and system for enabling program blocking provides advantages over conventional parental controls. According to an exemplary embodiment, a system such as a television signal receiver enables a user to designate a title of a program to be blocked. Program blocking is performed by preventing display of a video portion of the program, and further preventing display of the program title in a given display region, such as an electronic program guide and/or a channel banner. An audio portion of the program may also be blocked. A user may remove the program blocking function by, for example, inputting a predetermined password.

Abstract: A digital closed network is constructed from a telephone exchange (10) and a plurality of telephones (20), wherein each telephone (20) is further for connection to a network device (30), such as a computer, hub, network printer etc. Over the closed network, data and video information are transmitted in the form of packets.  Moreover, communicating voice signals are converted to the form of voice packets by the telephones (20), whereby the superior transmission quality is obtained.  Furthermore, the transmission priority among the voice, data and video packets is controllable in the closed network, thus when there is a great quantity of packets being transmitted, the voice packets still possess high real time transmissions.

Title: Method and apparatus for flexible high speed communication
Inventor: MICHAELSEN ALY AARESTRUP
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-06-15
Abstract: Two data communication platforms are operating as a combination. In one embodiment, a data signal formatted according to a data commmunication protocol is received at a first data communication platform. The first data communication platform operates to determine if the data communication protocol is supported by the first data communication platform. If it is determined that the data communication protocol is supported by the first data communication platform, the first data communication platform indicates to a second data communication platform to receive the data signal at a by-pass path of a filter engine. As a result, fast data signal communication capabilities of protocols developed and implemented as ASICs are combined with the flexibility in developing and adding new protocols implemented as software needed by more complex networked computer devices. In one embodiment, a second data signal formatted according to a second data communication protocol is received at the first data communication platform. The first data communication platform operates to determine if the second data commumication platform operates to determine if the second data communication protocol is supported by the second data communication platform. The first data communication platform operates to determine if the second data communication protocol is supported by the second data communication platform. If it is determined that the data communication protocol is supported by the second data communication platform, the first data communication platform indicates to the second communication platform to receive the data signal at a filter engine path of the filter engine.

Title: Snoop-and-shortcut routing method for better mobility support on networks
Inventor: LUO HUI
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-12-04
Abstract: A shortcut routing method to improve packet routing between a visiting mobile host connected to a subnet and a communicating host on the network or the same subnet. When a router receives an IP tunnel packet from a network interface on the visited network, it checks the inner IP packet for its final destination. If the destination IP address of the inner IP packet can be reached from the same network interface, the router decapsulates the IP tunnel packet and sends the inner IP packet directly to the communicating host on the subnet. For every outbound IP packet sent to the communicating host by the visiting mobile host, a portion of the round trip between the mobile host and home agent, is thereby eliminated. Optionally, the router can shortcut IP packets sent from the communicating host to the visiting mobile host, as the visiting host remains on the same subnet as the communicating host.

Patent CA-2414842-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FIND JENS IVER
IPC: A01H4/00
Filed: 2000-09-20
Abstract: According to the invention an embryogenic cell mass is cultured with a cultu re medium comprising an anti-auxin resulting in an unexpected shift in physiolo gy from proliferation to maturation. Proliferation is reduced so that the formation of new immature embryos ceases. Reduction of proliferation facilitates the transition from proliferation to maturation and maturation frequency is increased to a much larger extend than expected. Surprisingly, it has been discovered that the quality of the somatic embryos is not reduced, although the activity of the important endogenous plant growth regulator, auxin, is reduced. As a matter of fact, the overall quality of the mature embryos harvested at the end of maturation is actually increased over the prior art.

IPC: A63F3/02
Filed: 2003-01-16
Abstract: A game comprises a system wherein points are awarded for each matching identification of a work from a body of work s associated with a personality, preferably a movie in which a particular actor appeared. Players move along a pathway according to the roll of a die. Each position on the pathway provides an instruction for drawing a card on which the picture of an actor or their name appears.   The player identifies as many of the actor's works as possible within an allowed time. Optionally, an instruction will cause a player to miss a turn or to draw a card enabling the opportunity to earn bonus points. Alternate embodiments of the game may include any genre in which a body of works can be credited to a personality.   Further, the game may be played on alternate game interfaces; such as a computer.

Title: Enterprise services development model
Inventor: DELFINO JEAN-SEBASTIEN M
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2003-03-04
Abstract: A development model for architecting enterprise systems presents a service-oriented approach which leverages open standards to represent virtually all software assets as services including legacy applications, packaged applications. J2EE components or web services. This approach provides developers with a standard way of representing and interacting with parts of a business application without having to spend time working with unique interfaces and low-level APIs. Furthermore, individual business application components become building blocks that can be reused in developing other applications. Using i:he service-oriented approach to integration in accordance with the present invention reduces the complexity, cost, and risk of integration by providing a single, simple architectural framework based on Web Services in which to build, deploy, and manage application functionality. In one aspect, a services toolkit for an integrated development environment is introduced to facilitate development in accordance with the model.
