Title: System and method for communicating data using a common switch fabric
Inventor: BODUCH MARK E
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-08-30
Abstract: A communication system includes a first ingress content processor that receives information associated with a first traffic type. The first ingress content processor places the information associated with the first traffic type into a system cell having a common system cell format. A second ingress content processor receives information associated with a second traffic type.  The second ingress content processor places the information associated with the second traffic type into a system cell having the common system cell format. A switch fabric receives system cells from the first and second ingress content processors. System cells from the first ingress content processor are automatically sent to the switch fabric while system cells from the second ingress content processor are required to be scheduled before being sent to the switch fabric. The switch fabric separately queues system cells carrying payloads associated with first traffic type from system cells carrying payloads associated with the second traffic type. The switch fabric services system cells carrying payloads associated with the first traffic type prior to servicing system cells carrying payloads associated with the second traffic type.

Abstract: A body harness wrap around design made of rubber or similar elastic polymer material that can be used to strengthen the body's inner core muscle groups (the area that stabilizes the spine and connects the upper and lower body which includes the spine, pelvic and shoulder girdles and muscles that act on these structures. See Fig. 8 and Fig.  8a). The top section of the frame includes a plurality of loops designed to fit around each shoulder. The bottom section, when looped around each thigh and connected, forms a plurality of leg keys. The sections are joined by a plurality of elastic strips that run nearly parallel to each other and the spine. The tension of these strips can be adjusted allowing for increased or decreased resistance on the body's core muscle groups. The resulting tension created by joining the top and bottom sections of the harness allows the user a full range of motion while encouraging a strengthening of inner core muscle groups.

Abstract: A method and system for commanding and controlling diverse home devices. A first home device capable of displaying user interface data is connected to a home network. A second home device stores user interface data that defines a user interface for commanding and controlling the second home device, also connected to the home network. The first device receives the user interface data from the second device over the network.      The first device then displays the user interface as defined by the data. The user interacts with the user interface displayed on the first device by a control device. User input is accepted from the user responsive to the interaction. Control and command information is sent from the first home device to the second home device in order to control the second device according to the user input. Since the user interface can be displayed from any device, a single control device may control a plurality of different devices without requiring any change in the mode of operation of the control device.

Patent CA-2473171-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAEKI TOMOKI
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 1995-04-03
Abstract: A digital video cassette recorder records a high definition signal having an MPEG compatible structure, such as a proposed Grand Alliance signal. In the recorded format an advanced television frame occupies ten recorded tracks.      Reproduction at speeds other than the recorded speed is termed "Trick Play". Reproduction in a "Trick Play" mode necessitates a reproducing head crossing a plurality of recorded tracks.      However, since the advanced television signal is structured as groups of pictures comprising one interframe coded frame and a plurality of predicted frames, many of the recorded tracks contain data representing predicted frames. Thus an advanced television signal reproduced in "Trick Play" may represent a jumble of unrelated data segments. Operation in "Trick Play" may be facilitated by the selection of predetermined replay speeds and the allocation of specific locations within each track from which data may be reproduced. These specific track locations are utilized during recording to place advanced television image data for reproduction during "Trick Play" operation. The "Trick Play" image data is also reproduced during normal playback but may not be utilized. The specific track locations are selected to facilitate "Trick Play" operation at a plurality of speeds in both forward and reverse directions. Since the advanced television signal comprises a plurality of predicted frames, transition from "Trick Play" to normal speed replay requires a control function which is responsive to the reproduction, at normal replay speed, of an interframe coded frame. Various methods of reproduced image transition are disclosed for selecting both to and from "Trick Play" reproduction.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'injection par électroporation intramusculaire d'un ADNc d'hormone libérant l'hormone de croissance ("GHRH") résistant à la protéase dans les rats femelles à 16 jours de gestation qui résulte en la croissance à long terme améliorée de la progéniture F1. La progéniture est sensiblement plus lourde à l'âge d'une semaine et la différence est soutenue jusqu'à l'âge de 10 semaines. En conformité avec sa croissance accrue, la concentration du plasma IGF-I de la progéniture F1 s'accroît sensiblement. L'hypophyse de la progéniture est sensiblement plus lourde et contient un nombre accru de somatotropes (cellules produisant de l'hormone de croissance, GH) et de lactotrophes (cellules sécrétant de la prolactine), et constitue une indication d'une modification au niveau des lignées cellulaires. Ces résultats uniques démontrent qu'une expression de GHRH améliorée chez les femelles portantes peut favoriser une croissance intergénérationnelle en modifiant le développement de l'hypophyse chez la progéniture.

Filed: 2004-09-27
Abstract: Instrument chirurgical à agrafer et à sectionner, convenant particulièrement à l'endoscopie, comprenant une poignée qui produit des mouvements de fermeture et de déclenchement distincts pour actionner un effecteur d'extrémité. En particulier, la poignée produit de multiples coups de déclenchement afin de diminuer la quantité de force nécessaire pour déclencher (c-à-d. agrafer et sectionner) l'effecteur d'extrémité. Une transmission asservie réduit la longueur longitudinale nécessaire de la poignée, tout en obtenant une configuration rigide et résistante lorsqu'elle est redressée pour le déclenchement. Un mécanisme de déclenchement biaisé par traction évite tout grippage en commandant la crémaillère asservie de concert avec un mécanisme antirecul, tandis qu'un mécanisme de verrouillage empêche le relâchement de la gâchette de fermeture lors du déclenchement. De plus, un indicateur extérieur donne une rétroaction au chirurgien sur la progression des déclenchements, tout en assurant une capacité de rétraction manuelle.

Title: Switching apparatus
Inventor: PATTON ARTHUR A
IPC: A47C7/44
Filed: 2004-10-28
Abstract: The present invention provides a switching apparatus having a design intende d to reduce wear on its key part. In an embodiment of the invention, a rotatable member is rotatably fixed on a pivot. A slidable bearing member has a first surface fo r engaging the rotatable member in a non-sliding manner, and an opposite second surface for slidingly engaging an abutment. Any significant wear on the switching apparatus is mor e likely to occur between the sliding member and the abutment, rather than between the rotatable member and the sliding member. In an embodiment, one of the rotatable member and the slidable bearing member includes a protuberance, and the other of the rotatable member and the slidable bearing member includes a corresponding indentation for engagement with the protuberance. The join formed between the protuberance and indentation provides a substantially non-sliding engagement between the rotatable member and the slidable bearing member.
