Title: Low jitter clock for a multi-gigabit transceiver on a field programmable gate array
Inventor: GHIA ATUL V
IPC: H03K17/693
Filed: 2003-02-28
Abstract: A programmable logic device (PLD) is provided that supports multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs). The PLD includes one or more pairs of shared clock pads for receiving one or more high-quality differential clock signals. Dedicated clock traces couple each pair of shared clock pads to one or more MGTs on the PLD. Each MGT includes a clock multiplexer circuit, which alllows one of the high-quality differential clock signals to be routed as a reference clock signal for the MGT. The clock multiplexer circuits are designed such that no significant jitter is added to the high-quality clock signals. The clock multiplexer circuits can also route general-purpose clock signals received by the PLD as lower quality reference clock signals for the MGTs. The reference clock signal routed by the clock multiplexer circuit can be stepped down to provide a reference clock for a physical coding sublayer of the MGT.

Patent CA-2482337-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SORENSEN WAYNE L
IPC: C07C7/04
Filed: 2003-01-16
Abstract: A unified process for reactive distillation under pressure for the alkylation of light aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and cumene with straight chain C6- C18 olefins using a solid acid alkylation catalyst supported in the reflux zone of the distillation column (column 2). The process is continuous, using a reactive distillation configuration such that at least a portion of the olefin (7) is injected below the benzene rectification zone at the top of the column.  The aromatic hydrocarbon (17) is injected continuously at a low rate above the rectification zone (H) at the base of the column and above the reboiler (40).  The alkylation reaction takes place primarily in the liquid phase on the solid acid catalyst and is characterized in that the molar ratio is adjustable up to about 100/1, through adjustment of the internal column operating pressure, the benzene reflux rate, the amount of benzene removed from the reflux condenser to storage or from the reboiler with the distillation column operated at or near total aromatic hydrocarbon reflux. The unexpectedly high liquid phase aromatic hydrocarbon to olefin molar ratios achieved in the reactive distillation column increases the selectivity to mono-alkylated aromatics and helps stabilize catalyst lifetime.

Title: Body surface probe, apparatus and method for non-invasively detecting medical conditions
Inventor: SCHNALL ROBERT P
IPC: A61B5/02
Filed: 2003-07-15
Abstract: A probe for application to a selected area of a subject's skin covering a bo dy part, which selected area serves as a measurement site for measuring changes in the pulsatile arterial blood volume thereat, includes: a base for application to the selected area of the subject's skin at the measurement site; a pressure applicator for applying a static pressure to the subject's skin at the measurement site; and a sensor for sensing changes in the pulsatile arterial blood volume at the measurement site. The pressure applicator is designed to apply to the measurement site a static pressure of a magnitude to partially unload the wall tension of, but not to occlude, the arteries. The pressure applicator is configured to substantially prevent venous distention and blood pooling at the measurement site by permitting fr ee venous drainage through tissues surrounding the measurement site. This is do ne by configuring the pressure applicator to apply the static pressure to a relatively restricted area of the subject's skin, which area occupies a relatively small fraction of the surface perimeter of the respective body pa rt at the measurement site, to thereby permit free venous drainage from the measurement site via a wide region of unrestricted passageways surrounding t he measurement site.

Title: Determination of envelope volume and density of porous samples
Inventor: BIENVENU MICHAEL ERIC
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 2003-07-31
Abstract: A method is provided for nondestructively determining a material property of a porous sample. A first vessel (100) is evacuated to a sub-atmospheric pressure, while a test pressure, greater than the sub-atmospheric pressure, is established in a second vessel (200) containing the sample (300). The pressures of the first and second vessels are equalized by opening a valve mechanism (400) therebetween. The resulting pressure change in the second vessel exhibits an initial pressure drop followed by a transition to an equalization pressure. The envelope volume of the sample is determined from a minimum pressure attained by the second vessel upon initial opening of the valve mechanism, wherein the minimum pressure is related to the initial pressure drop. The envelope density of the sample is thus a quotient of the mass and the envelope volume of the sample. The absolute density and relativ e absorption of the sample may also be determined and an associated system is provided.

Title: Wireless communications network and method for enabling wireless presence-based services
Inventor: SAYEEDI SHAHAB M
IPC: H04W4/00
Filed: 2004-05-28
Abstract: The need to enable wireless presence-based services more efficiently is addressed by embodiments of the present invention. A wireless presence proxy (WPP 415) monitors the messaging and messaging responses of a mobile station (MS 401) via wireless transceiver equipment (411). Such messaging and messaging responses do not explicitly specify a presence state or state change for the MS. Thus, based upon this monitoring, the WPP infers the presence state / change for the MS and maintains MS location information. The WPP  communicates any presence state changes and confirms MS presence state as required by the presence server(s) (225). By monitoring messaging, notifying the server(s) of MS presence, and handling server requests (potentially from many servers for the same MS), embodiments of the present invention reduce or avoid many existing inefficiencies, such as wide area paging and call set up and tear down for each presence ping, from each presence server.

Abstract: A system for remotely updating software on at least one electronic device connected to a network. The electronic devices have a non-volatile rewritable storage unit divided into at least two partitions, one of which will contain core firmware and the other of which will contain auxiliary software. When an update is received at the device, the updated core firmware is written to overwrite the partition in the rewritable storage unit that contained the auxiliary software. When this is completed and verified, the previous version of the core firmware stored in the storage unit is disabled from execution by the device. Next, the updated auxiliary software is written to overwrite the old version of the core firmware. When this write is complete, the device determines a suitable time for it to be rebooted to execute the updated software. In another embodiment, the present core firmware in the device is copied from the partition it is in to the other partition, overwriting the auxiliary software stored there. The new core firmware received to update the device is overwritten into the first partition, the old copied core firmware being present in case of an upgrade failure, and upon a successful update of the first partition, the auxiliary software is written to the second partition, overwriting the copied old core firmware. In this manner, the position of the core firmware and auxiliary software within the partitions is preserved during normal operation of the device.
