Patent CA-2459911-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WELLS JACK J
IPC: F24B1/18
Filed: 2004-03-05
Abstract: A pressure relief system for a gas fireplace. The pressure relief system has a flue pipe with an opening in its side. A pressure relief plate is coupled to the flue pipe so that it is movable between an open and a closed state. The pressure relief plate positioned so that it covers the opening in the side of the flue pipe when the pressure relief plate is in the closed state. In the event of a gas explosion, the pressure relief plate is moved to an open state and the pressure build-up in the fireplace is relieved.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for enabling electronic transactions via a personal device (e.g., a cellular phone). A user initiates a transaction with a second party, both of whom are located in a point-of-presence (POP), by establishing communication between the personal device and a network operations center (NOC). The personal device and NOC communicate via a wide area communication link. The personal device communicates with a POP device for the second party via a local area communication link. The POP device communicates with the NOC via the personal device, which bridges the wide area communication link with the local area communication link. The personal device and POP device provide pertinent information for the transaction to the NOC.  The NOC may also access other pertinent information stored for the user and/or the second party. The NOC implements decision rules appropriate for the transaction and provides results for the transaction.

Title: Failure recovery for digital video recorders
Inventor: GARRISON WILLIAM J
IPC: H04N17/06
Filed: 2004-12-23
Abstract: A method for DVR (digital video recorder) recovery from interruptions is described. Interruptions include power failures, primary storage device failure, Emergency Alert broadcasts, loss of signal (LOS), etc. Upon detecting that an interruption has occurred, the DVR determines the duration of the interruption and consults a saved "journal" of DVR operations to determine what it was doing when the interruption occurred. If a program that was being recorded prior to the interruption is still running when the interruption ends, recording is resumed. If the interruption is long, then the DVR searches an electronic program guide to see if the program is available for re-recording at a later time. If so, it schedules re-recording at that time. Recovery methods for insufficient primary storage space are also described.
