Inventor: COOPER MICHAEL J
IPC: H03M13/35
Filed: 2001-11-30
Abstract: An adaptive and dynamic forward error correction scheme for a communication channel is disclosed. The method and apparatus calculates (206) the actual bit error rate for comparison (207) with a target bit error rate. When a channel is performing better than required by the performance specification, the forward error correction power can be reduced (214) to provide greater throughput. If the calculated actual bit error rate is greater than the target bit error rate, then the forward error correction power is increased (219) in an attempt to lower the calculated bit error rate. A feedback loop is employed to continually calculate received bit error rates as the forward error correction power is increased or decreased.

Abstract: A slot machine allows the interaction of objects displayed outside a symbol matrix with objects displayed inside a symbol matrix ("Interactive Symbols") to generate new forms of awards. Interactions include "bouncing" in which logarithmic functions accounting for the objects' shapes, sizes, and velocities, control the result of two objects colliding inside of the symbol matrix, and "catching" in which the collision of two objects does not cause a "bounce" effect, but instead results in the disappearance of one object into the other object. Awards may be issued for each "bounce," "catch"  or other interaction of objects inside the symbol matrix, according to an Interactive Symbols award schedule.

Title: Counter-balancing mechanism
Inventor: LAWRENCE JEFFREY
IPC: F16M11/06
Filed: 2002-02-08
Abstract: A counter-balancing mechanism comprising a support (1) for supporting an article to be tilted about a horizontal axis; a cam (4) movable with the support, the cam surface of which varies in a direction normal to the plane of rotation of the support; and a cam follower (9) loaded by a resilient means (12) whereby, as the support rotates, the cam follower and resilient means causes a return force to be exerted to substantially conteract the torque caused by the rotation of the support.

Abstract: Injection devices are known for the self administration of medicament by patients in which medicament is typically contained within a cartridge located within the injection device. It is a problem that injection devices should be small enough to fit into a jacket pocket or a hand bag without difficulty.  Also, the injection device must be of a size that enables a piston or similar used to drive a cartridge bung within the cartridge to be moved both to a maximum dispense position within the cartridge and to be fully withdrawn from the cartridge to allow for replacement of the cartridge. A drive mechanism for an injection device is disclosed in which a second piston (42) is successively moved in relation to a first end of a medicament cartridge (8) containing a medicament selectively to drive a bung (10) into the medicament cartridge (8), the drive mechanism comprising a means (36) defining a passageway (38), a first piston (40) and the second piston (42), in which the passageway (38) has a first end and a second end, the first piston (40) closing the first end of the passageway (38) and a first end of the second piston (42) closing the second end of the passageway (38) to define a chamber in the passageway (38), a non-compressible medium being contained within the chamber such that a first relative movement in a first direction at the first end of the passageway (38) results in a second relative movement in a direction opposite the first direction at the second end of the passageway (38).

Abstract: A method and package for controlled metered dispensing of a fluid product contained in the package having a metered dispensing system, each time the package is opened or uncapped are disclosed. By the present method and package, the maximum amount of product that can be dispensed is limited to a single metered dose after each uncapping of the package. Specifically, the metered dispensing system is configured to allow dispensing of only a single metered dose of a liquid, viscous liquid, gel, paste, or semi-solid product contained in the package and to prevent further dispensing of additional doses of product until at least one specific and deliberate step is taken that re-activates or re-engages the dispensing system. Only after the open package has been re-capped can the next dose of product be available for dispensing.

Title: Selection de noeuds maitres dans des configurations a noeuds groupes

Filed: 2003-01-07
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de sélection de noeuds maîtres en vue de gérer un groupe de noeuds cible dans un réseau informatique comprenant plusieurs noeuds ainsi que des groupes de noeuds en chevauchement. Le procédé consiste à déterminer une distance de Hamming pour des paires de noeuds dans le réseau. Chaque paire de noeuds comprend deux éléments de paire de noeuds, la distance de Hamming correspondant au nombre de groupes de noeuds que les éléments des paires de noeuds ne partagent pas en commun. Un indice de participation pour les noeuds dans le réseau est déterminé lors d'une opération de détermination. L'indice de participation correspond au nombre de groupes de noeuds auxquels le noeud appartient. Un potentiel de disponibilité pour des paires de noeuds est également déterminé. Ce potentiel de disponibilité correspond à la somme des indices de participation des éléments de paire de noeuds, valeur à laquelle on soustrait la distance de Hamming de la paire de noeuds. Une combinaison optimale de paires de noeuds est trouvée par recherche du potentiel de disponibilité totale maximal pour le réseau. Une paire de noeuds maîtres pour le groupe de noeuds cible est sélectionnée à partir de la combinaison optimale de paires de noeuds. Si une paire de noeuds maîtres n'existe pas pour le groupe de noeuds cible, un noeud maître appartenant au groupe de noeuds cible est sélectionné pour ce groupe cible.
