Inventor: DYER JOHN COLLINS
IPC: C08F2/44
Filed: 2001-11-06
Abstract: The invention relates to foam composites having improved properties. These polymeric foams are prepared by polymerization of certain water-in-oil emulsions having a relatively high ratio of water phase to oil phase, commonly known in the art as high internal phase emulsions, or "HIPEs." The HIPE- derived foam materials used in the present invention comprise a generally hydrophobic, flexible, semi-flexible, or rigid nonionic polymeric foam structure of interconnected open-cells. These foam structures have a density of less than about 100 mg/cc, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of between about -40~ and 90 ~C, and at least about 1 % by weight compatible fibers incorporated into the foam. The foam composites have improved tensile properties compared to foams having no incorporated fibers or foams having noncompatible fibers incorporated therein.

Title: Mpeg in a label switching environment
Inventor: ROVIRA LUIS A
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2001-11-27
Abstract: The encapsulation of MPEG (Motion Pictures Experts Group) within a label switching protocol such as MPLS (Multiple Protocol Label Switching) is used to implement a multimedia communications network. The network advantageously improves the delivery of customized services to network subscribers.  Encapsulating MPEG within MPLS simplifies network deployment by converging the previously distinct environments of data communications and broadcast television service over cable TV networks. In addition, the encapsulation of MPEG within MPLS allows merging MPEG program content streams with IP streams at the MPLS multiplexing level. This allows for applications such as merging MPEG video programs with IP advertising. Furthermore, the MPEG Digital Storage Medium Command and Control (DSM-CC) protocol may be used for label distribution for the label switching network.

Title: Methods and apparatus for prioritizing voice call requests during data communication sessions with a mobile device
Inventor: ISLAM M KHALEDUL
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2003-09-22
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for prioritizing voice call requests during data communication sessions involving a mobile communication device are disclosed. In one illustrative example, an end user invokes a voice call request though a user interface of the mobile device. If this request is made while the mobile device is engaged in a connected data communication service, the mobile device immediately forces the connected data service into a dormant state. In particular, a release order is transmitted to tear down a traffic channel of the connected data service so that the voice call request can be processed. Subsequently, a voice call with the mobile device is established using a new traffic channel. When the voice call is completed, data communications will resume if needed. Advantageously, the mobile device prioritizes voice calls over data communication sessions which may be deemed less time-critical.

Inventor: BERNARD BRUNO
IPC: C04B35/83
Filed: 2003-01-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the densification of porous substrates by means of chemical vapour infiltration. The inventive method consists in:  loading the porous substrates to be densified into the loading area of a chamber (10); heating the internal volume of the aforementioned chamber; and introducing a reactive gas into said chamber via an inlet which is disposed at one end of same. Before being brought into contact with the substrates (20) located in the loading area, the reactive gas admitted into the chamber is pre-heated at least partially by being passed through a conduit (30) which is connected to the gas inlet. Said conduit extends through the loading area and is brought to the internal temperature of the chamber.

Patent CA-2451956-A1 (CA)
Title: Video stream switching
Inventor: MIRAS DIMITRIOS
IPC: H04N5/00
Filed: 2002-07-19
Abstract: A technique is described for providing a client on a packet based network with a stream of encoded video data. The system is able to maximise the bit-rate of the video stream by adapting to fluctuations in network capacity. The technique is characterised in that adaptation of the bit-rate of the transmitted encoded video data is timed to occur upon a scene change in the video sequence. In this way the interruption to the viewer when the perceived quality of the video sequence increases or decreases is minimised as it is 'hidden' in the scene change. The technique is described as applied to hierarchically encoded video data but equally may be applied to other encoding techniques which adapt to network conditions.
