Abstract: The breath-take diving life jacket (1) is provided with air bags (2 and 3) that, when inflated, keep the diver's head above the water surface. The life jacket inflates automatically, wherefore at beginning of the immersion the electronic device (8) detects increase of the outer pressure and activates itself. When the outer pressure falls below a certain value, the electronic device detects surfacing and automatically starts the countdown. At this moment the diver (15) is at the surface and, if conscious, he switches the countdown off by pressing the manual switch (12). If, after a certain period of time, the diver did not press the manual switch, the electronic device sounds alarm, lasting a few seconds, that warns the diver that he forgot to switch the timer off. If the diver still does not react, it is highly probably that he is unconscious, and the electronic device automatically activates the compressed air cylinder (7) that inflates the life jacket and positions the diver with his head (16) above the water surface (17).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a data transmission rate between at least one transmitter and a plurality of terminals in a wireless communication system. A first data transmission rate for the transmitter is determined, and the first data transmission rate of the transmitter is changed to a second data transmission rate based at least in part upon a predefined condition being satisfied. Data is transmitted to the plurality of access terminals using the second data transmission rate. In one embodiment the first data transmission rate of the transmitter is changed to the second data transmission rate providing that a predetermined percentage of the plurality of terminals can receive data from the transmitter using the second data transmission rate.

Abstract: A thermal monitoring system for use with a tire is provided. The system includes one or more thermal sensors that are carried by a vehicle. One of the thermal sensors may produce a first sensor output signal that is representative of the temperature of a first location on the tire. Additionally, a second sensor output signal may be produced that is representative of the temperature of a second location on the tire. A signal processing device is included that receives the first and second sensor output signals. The signal processing device produces a processing device output signal that is representative of a potential damage condition of the tire. This signal is produced in response to a particular temperature difference between the first and second locations as indicated by the first and second sensor output signals. An indication device receives the processing device signal and indicates to a user of the vehicle that the tire is experiencing a potential damage condition.

Abstract: Une technique d'imagerie permet l'aplatissement sélectif d'objets dans des fichiers de description de pages. L'aspect sélectif de l'aplatissement peut être rapporté à la sélection d'objets particuliers à aplatir, la sélection du degré d'aplatissement à appliquer aux objets ou l'un et l'autre. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'aplatissement sélectif d'objets dans un fichier de description de pages peut être permis sur la base d'une évaluation de l'efficacité de correction de couleurs. Par exemple, le degré d'aplatissement peut être ajusté de façon itérative pour obtenir des résultats acceptables de correction des couleurs. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un utilisateur peut être notifié dans le cas où des résultats acceptables de correction des couleurs n'ont pas été obtenus. Une erreur de couleur entre des fichiers en mode point générée à partir d'un fichier de description de pages en couleur corrigé non aplati, et à partir d'un fichier de description de pages en couleur corrigé aplati peut être mesurée. Lorsque l'erreur mesurée entre les deux modes point dépasse une valeur prédéterminée, une quantité d'aplatissement de fichier peut être ajustée afin de réduire l'erreur mesurée.

Abstract: A technique which implements a primitive for computing, e.g., a checksum. Specifically, this primitive replaces a mod(M) operation with a series of simple elementary register operations. These operations include mod 2<n> multiplications, order manipulations (e.g., byte or word swaps), and additions - all of which are extremely simple to implement and require very few processing cycles to execute. Hence, use of our technique can significantly reduce the processing time to compute various cryptographic parameters, such as, e.g., a message authentication code (MAC), or to implement a stream cipher, over that conventionally required. This technique has both invertible and non-invertible variants. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A "PeerStreamer" provides receiver-driven peer-to-peer (P2P) media streaming for loosely coupled P2P networks. Peers in the network perform only simple operations, may cache all or part of the streaming media, do not collaborate with other peers, may be unreliable, and may drop offline or come online during any given streaming session. Clients in the network operate in real-time to coordinate peers, stream media from multiple peers, perform load balancing, handle online/offline states of peers, and perform decoding and rendering the streaming media. In one embodiment, the PeerStreamer uses high rate erasure resilient coding to allow multiple serving peers to hold partial media without conflict, such that clients simply retrieve fixed numbers of erasure coded blocks regardless of where and what specific blocks are retrieved. In another embodiment, the PeerStreamer uses embedded coded media to vary streaming bitrates according to available serving bandwidths and client queue status.

Abstract: A selective, flow-based datapath architecture is described. A Flow Control Block Manager (FCBM) is located in a flow-based datapath for selectively and intelligently processing packets in the Flow Path. If, according to the FCBM, efficiency gains can be achieved by creating a flow control block and employing flow-based processing on a packet stream, the packets are processed accordingly. If, however, insufficient gains are anticipated the packets are processed in a flow-unaware manner. The FCBM determines the manner in which to process packets based on a set of criteria.
