Title: Electrical control apparatus including retrievable stored operationing program
Inventor: WIEBE CORY JAMES
IPC: G05B19/05
Filed: 2000-06-14
Granted: 2007-01-09
Abstract: An electrical control system for vehicles has a plurality of separate control modules which communicate via a communication bus and an operational program is installed in each of the modules so that all modules contain programming for the functions of each module. A programming and diagnostic system including a PC and a program connects into the bus so as to download the program from one of the modules for generating, modifying and viewing program logic steps using ladder logic which is then converted back into an operating program format for communication to the modules. In addition, the status of the inputs and outputs of the modules of the apparatus can be displayed and forced using the programming and diagnostic system.

Title: A forward error correction system for packet based real-time media
Inventor: SCHUSTER GUIDO M
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1998-12-11
Granted: 2005-02-15
Abstract: A computationally simple yet powerful forward error correction code scheme for transmission of real-time media signals, such as digitized voice, video or audio, in a packet switched network, such as the Internet. According to one aspect, an encoder at the sending end derives p redundancy blocks from each group of a k payload blocks and concatenates the redundancy blocks, respectively, with payload blocks in the next group of k payload blocks. At the receiving end, a decoder may recover up to p missing packets in a group of k packets, provided with the p redundancy blocks carried by the next group of k packets.  The invention may, for instance, append to each of a series of payload packets a single forward error correction code that is defined by taking the XOR sum of a preceding specified number of payload packets. The invention thereby enables correction from the loss of multiple packets in a row, without significantly increasing the data rate or otherwise delaying transmission.

Abstract: Recombinant nodavirus related compositions are disclosed. These compositions include chimeric proteins in which a nodavirus capsid protein is present together with a heterologous peptide segment. The heterologous peptide includes at least one cell-specific targeting sequence, such as a B cell epitope, a T cell epitope, or a sequence specific for another cell type, such as a hepatocyte. The chimeric proteins can be assembled to form chimeric virus-like particles. The chimeric virus-like particles are useful in therapeutic applications, such as vaccines and gene-delivery vectors, and in diagnostic applications, such as kits for the testing of body tissue or fluid samples. Methods for the use of recombinant nodavirus related compositions in therapeutic and diagnostic applications are also described.

Title: Improved process for predicting behavior of a subterranean formation
Inventor: WATTS JAMES W III
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1999-02-09
Granted: 2009-06-23
Abstract: A process is disclosed for predicting a characteristic of a fluid-containing physical system such as a reservoir. The physical system is discretized to a plurality of gridcells. For each gridcell, nonlinear governing equations are constructed that are representative of fluid properties for each fluid. The nonlinear terms are linearized to derive linear equations at a current timestep. The linear equations are then solved to determine estimates of the solution. The estimated solution is then improved by a gridcell-by-gridcell computation wherein flows into and out of a particular gridcell are determined using linearized values of nonlinear terms in gridcells adjacent that particular gridcell. The improved solution is used to predict a property of a fluid in the physical system at end of the timestep. These calculation steps are repeated for a plurality of timesteps and the results are used to predict a property of the physical system and the fluids it contains as a function of time.

Title: Method for calculating frequency shifts for scan line non-linearity compensation in a ros system
Inventor: RAHNAVARD MOHAMMAD H
IPC: H04N1/12
Filed: 2000-11-29
Granted: 2002-09-24
Abstract: The pixel clock of a raster output scanning (ROS) system modulates an emitted light beam to provide pixel placement along a scan line. A method calculates the pixel clock frequency shifts to correct non-linearity of the scan line in a ROS. A  data smoothing polynomial is calculated for the non-linearity of the pixels along the scan line. The needed frequency shift based on the polynomial to the first or higher orders is calculated and stored in a frequency shift look-up table. The calculated frequency shift from the frequency shift lookup table modifies the nominal pixel clock frequency to correct for the measured scan linearity of the ROS by modulation of the light beam.

Abstract: A mechanical neck rest retraction device with a memory function including a movably supported locking member which is designed to yieldingly be brought into engagement with one of several stop notches of a neck rest rod. A bridge member is designed to be connected to the ends of the two neck rest rods and a detent member biased by a first spring, is movably supported on the bridge member. An elongate actuator adapted to be moved in parallel with the axis of the neck rest rods, which actuator is engaged by an actuating rope which, when actuated, pulls the actuator downwards against a second spring which biases the actuator upwards. A series of detent recesses are on the elongate actuator for the detent member, which recesses extends in the longitudinal direction of the actuator and having a spacing which corresponds to the spacing of the stop notches, the detent member being located between two adjoining detent recesses when the locking member is in engagement with a stop notch. A stationary guide interacts with the actuator such that when the actuator is in an upper position, the detent member is out of engagement with the actuator, but the actuator is moved towards the detent member from a given displacement path onwards, which causes it to engage the next following upper detent recess. An unlocking member is connected to the actuator, which member actuates the locking member for the release of the neck rest rod when the actuator is moved downwards.

Abstract: A Mach-Zehnder device including an input port, an output port, a substantially achromatic first coupling region optically connected to the input port and a substantially achromatic second coupling region optically connected to the output port. An intermediate region is optically connected to the first and second coupling regions. The intermediate region includes a first intermediate branch and a second intermediate branch. The first intermediate branch defines a phase shifting portion. The phase shifting portion, in turn, defines a phase shifting portion level of birefringence over the length of the phase shifting portion. The phase shifting portion level of birefringence is different that the level of birefringence prevailing over the remainder of the first intermediate branch. The birefringence differential between the phase shifting portion level of birefringence and the level of birefringence prevailing over the remainder of the first intermediate branch creates a polarization selective phase shift enabling the generally wavelength insensitive device to be used either as a coupler or splitter.
