Patent CA-2448766-A1 (CA)
Title: Inspection and audit process for shipped goods utilizing online global pricing system
Inventor: HOFFMAN ROBERT
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2002-05-31
Abstract: A customs inspection and auditing process uses an online global pricing system that is implemented over a distributed network such as the Internet. The process generally includes selecting a consignment for audit based upon certain risk selectivity criteria, obtaining prices for selected items in the consignment using the online pricing system, and using the obtained prices to create a price audit report for customs officials. The system is preferably configured to provide prices in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Article VII of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Customs Valuation so that customs officials in member countries may use the prices to accurately assess valuation in accordance with international agreements, and thereby improve government collections of customs and tax revenues, and detect illegal activity such as industrial dumping or money laundering.

IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 2002-09-10
Abstract: A computer security system uses a plurality of co-operating software agents (14) to protect a network against attack. Individual agents (14) at each nod e (10) of the network co-operatively act to detect attacks and to share attack signatures and solutions via a message exchange mechanism. A global internal measurement of the overall health of the group of agents may be used as an indicator of a possible attack. In larger networks, the agents may be formed a plurality of separate autonomous groups, with a common group identity being automatically maintained by the message passing mechanism. Individual groups may be located by a system designer in separate cells or domains within the network, so that if one cell becomes compromised the rest of the network is not affected.

Abstract: According to a disclosed embodiment, a flow indication counter is incremente d each time a data packet is transmitted from a buffer (408). When the number of data packets transmitted equals or exceeds a threshold number (410), a flow indication message comprising the buffer window size is generated and transmitted to the base station controller (412). Further, flow indication messages can be generated and transmitted every threshold time interval, independently of the number of data packets transmitted to ensure that flow indication messages are sent at least every preset time interval. Moreover, a system for flow control can be constructed comprising a flow indication counter module (302) configured to provide an updated number of data packets transmitted. The system further comprises a window size monitoring module (306) which determines the buffer window size and a message generating modul e which generates a flow indication message comprising the buffer window size (310).

Abstract: Modern drying units for gypsum plaster board have a feed device, comprising several roller feed units (1) arranged in levels one above the other. The drying section is generally divided into several zones (3 to 7), in particular three longitudinally ventilated zones (4 to 6), being two high temperature zones (4, 5) and a subsequent low temperature zone (6). Due to the high production capacity of the upline production plant and the necessarily long residence time, drying units are very long. According to the invention, black boards (19) are arranged above and below the individual roller feed units (1) in the high temperature zones (4, 5), which extend across the width of the roller feed units (1). The boards (19) are heated exclusively by means of the flowing drying air to an elevated temperature, and transmit additional heat to the through-flowing gypsum plaster board (16) by radiation. It is possible to reduce the length of the drying unit due to the increased heat transfer coefficient.

Abstract: An integrated PBX and SIP telephone communications network (Fig. 2) supporting transmission of private signaling codes over SIP. A telephone emits a provate signaling code for accessing a particular PBX function. An enhanced IP  translator coupled to the telephone encapsulates the private signaling code within a SIP invite, request, response, information, nofification message, and/or instant message. The SIP messsage with the encapsulated private signaling codes is transmitted over a communications network to a PBX. The PBX  is also coupled to an enhanced IP translator that receives the SIP message and decapsulates the embedded private signaling codes. The codes are transmitted to the PBX for rendering a function for the telephone. A SIP user agent aware of the private signaling codes may also access functions provided by the PBX  by encapsulating/decapsulating private signaling codes into/from SIP messages.
