Abstract: A policy enables a subscriber to connect to multiple service providers simultaneously using a network address translation technique that translates an address identifying the subscriber and associated with a first service provider into an address identifying the subscriber and associated with a second service provider for a particular application. The subscriber registers with a single home service provider and connects to that single home service provider for a packet session. To connect to additional service providers that provide additional applications during the packet session, the NAT rule is downloaded from the home service provider to a router at the border between the subscriber and the access network of the home service provider. Each IP packet received at the router to or from the subscriber is filtered to determine the subscriber's address and an application identifier. Based on the combination of both the subscriber's address and the application identifier, the router translates the subscriber's address into a new address, using the NAT rule. The new address is used to connect the subscriber to an additional service provider for a particular application during the packet session with the home service provider.

Abstract: A method and system for integrating a mismatch noise shaper into the main loop of a delta-sigma modulator are disclosed. The output of the mismatch noise shaper is fed back to the summer as a feedback signal that is responsive to the mismatch noise shaper. At appropriate times, the mismatch noise shaper selectively overrides the quantizer so that the output of the noise shaper differs from an output of the quantizer. The overriding feature distinguishes the present invention from a DEM, as the output of a DEM is only a re-ordering of the same number of elements as its input. The mismatch noise shaper selectively overrides the quantizer when the output of the quantizer has prevented the mismatch noise shaper to control selection of elements at the output of the mismatch noise shaper for a pre-determined time period.

Abstract: A perceptual encoder divides an audio signal into successive time blocks, each time block is divided into frequency bands, and a scale factor is assigned to each of ones of the frequency bands. Bits per block increase with scale factor values and band-to-band variations in scale factor values. A preliminary scale factor for each of ones of the frequency bands is determined, and the scale factors for the each of ones of the frequency bands is optimized, the optimizing including increasing the scale factor to a value greater than the preliminary scale factor value for one or more of the frequency bands such that the increase in bit cost of the increasing is the same or less than the reduction in bit cost resulting from the decrease in band-to-band variations in scale factor values resulting from increasing the scale factor for one or more of the frequency bands.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reverse engineering access control include determining a set of potential access control target methods, functions and/or subroutines that may be used in software applications. A software application is then analyzed to determine if the access control targets are present in the software application. If an access control target is used by the software application, then the access control policy for the target is analyzed to determine the roles, privileges, or rights that are necessary to successfully execute the access control target. A report is then generated that provides information about the access control policy elements actually used by the software application.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lock which is intended to be disposed in a thrust reverser and which comprises a bolt and a linking member having a control lever connected thereto. The invention is characterized in that the control lever is equipped with a slot comprising a coupling section, a throttling section and an end section. The invention is further characterized in that a locking pin, which can move against a spring, is equipped with a constriction having a smaller cross-section than that of the throttling section of the slot. In this way, when the constriction is positioned in line with the slot after the locking pin has moved, the control lever can move alternately from a locking position, in which the locking pin is trapped by the end section, to an open position, in which the slot is disengaged from the locking pin.
