Abstract: The invention relates to methods for encoding/decoding of a digital signal which is transmitted over a packet switched network. Prediction samples are generated at the transmitting and receiving end. The digital signal is lossless encoded at the transmitting end, and lossless decoded at the receiving end, based on the quantizations of generated prediction samples. During encoding, the generated prediction samples are quantized separately from the quantization of the digital samples. The predictions are used in the index domain in the form of quantized indices during encoding/decoding of the digital signal.

Abstract: A method for filtering and gating data flow in a QoS connection between a remote host and user equipment in a packet date network using policy control mechanisms includes a remote host initiating an application in an application server and a corresponding session between the remote host and the user equipment ("UE") via the application server. The UE requests, to a gateway support node ("GGSN") of the network, establishment of a network bearer service between the UE and the remote host. A corresponding policy control function ("PCF") in a policy server receives, from the application server, filtering data derived from session data received by the application server during the session. The GGSN interrogates the corresponding PCF in the policy server to initialize a gate using policy control filtering data at the GGSN. The gate then filters the data flow in the QoS connection according to the policy control filtering data.

Abstract: A fire extinguisher includes a compressed gas generator for fighting fires and nascent explosions, and has two bursting membranes with predetermined breaking points for closing the fire extinguishing material container. The predetermined breaking points of the bursting membranes are designed with differences in resistance in order to achieve a time delay between the breaking occurrences of the two predetermined breaking points. This time delay ensures a non-deformed and rotationally symmetrical expulsion of the fire extinguishing material.

Le récipient présente une surface externe et une rainure formée sur une circonférence de sa surface externe. L'élément d'espacement est ajusté dans la rainure et s'étend vers l'extérieur du récipient. Les première et seconde surfaces d'extrémité latérales définissent un espace. L'élément d'espacement comprend un alésage tangentiel et une rainure annulaire, ledit alésage s'étendant le long d'une ligne généralement tangentielle à une courbe de l'élément d'espacement. On place l'élément de fixation, qui pourrait être une vis, dans l'alésage tangentiel en contact avec l'élément d'anneau, et qui s'étend à travers l'espacement de l'anneau. On dispose le composant élastomère, qui pourrait être un joint statique ou un joint torique, dans la rainure annulaire. On peut remplacer le composant élastomère par une pluralité de paliers polarisés. Lorsque le récipient est installé dans l'ouverture d'une plaque de récipient, on obtient facilement une concentricité entre les surfaces internes du  récipient et un axe s'étendant dans le récipient.

Abstract: A memory management system provides the ability for multiple requesters to access blocks of memory in a pipelined manner. During a first clock, requests for one or more of the memory blocks are received by the system. A determination is made of whether one of the memory blocks is requested by one or more requests. If the same memory block is requested by two or more requests, the system performs a further determination of which of the requests will be provided to the memory block. The determined request is provided to the memory block on the first clock. During a second clock, the data of the determined request is latched to the memory block and a memory access is initiated. If the request is a write request, the data is written to the memory block. If the request is a read request, then the requested data is retrieved and, on a third clock, the data is driven onto a bus, routed to the determined requester, and available to be latched into the requester on the fourth clock.

Abstract: Detecting RNA export from the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, comprising preparing a nucleic acid (I) that encodes a reporter protein (RP) and produces a transcript that can be exported from the nucleus, introducing (I) into the nucleus so that, in the nucleus, it is operably linked to a transcription control sequence, transcription from (I), and determining if the transcript is exported, is new. Detecting RNA export from the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, comprising preparing a nucleic acid (I) that encodes a reporter protein (RP) and produces a transcript that can be exported from the nucleus, introducing (I) into the nucleus so that, in the nucleus, it is operably linked to a transcription control sequence, transcription from (I), and determining if the transcript is exported, is new. Export of the transcript depends on presence of a cis-active RNA export signal, operably linked to (I), a trans-activating factor, and optionally a functional 5'-splice donor, in absence of 3'-splice acceptor. The RP-encoding segment of the transcript can not undergo splicing. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) DNA sequence (II) that contains RP-encoding sequence, modified from the wild type so that, unlike the wild type, RNA export occurs, depending on a linked cis-acting RNA export element, and optionally a functional 5'-splice donor in absence of 3'-splice acceptor; (2) eukaryotic cell containing (II) in transcribable form; (3) reagent kit comprising (II) or cell transfected by it, and/or the cells of (2); (4) detecting viral infection by detecting activity of a viral nuclear export factor; (5) DNA sequence (III) encoding a fluorescent protein (FP), that is at least partly codon-optimized for a retrovirus, specifically human immune deficiency virus (HIV)-1; (6) DNA sequence (IV) comprising a sequence encoding FP between functional 5'-splice donor and 3'-splice acceptor sites; and (7) detecting RNA export from nuclei of eukaryotic cells, using an RP that can be detected without lysis or fixing of cells.

Abstract: If an active router Master Control Processor (11) fails, a backup Master Control Processor (12) switches over without interrupting peer network router connections, because all previously established connection parameters are replicated on both Master Control Processors. Once the Master Control Processor programs line cards (31), the packet forwarding modules (501) and embedded system function without further involvement of the Master Control Processor until the next programming update. Messages flow through the backup Master Control Processor and then through the active Master Control Processor, which outputs messages through the backup Master Control Processor. Thus the backup Master Control Processor captures state changes before and after the active Master Control Processor. Both Master Control Processors maintain replicated queues in which they store replicated messages awaiting processing or retransmission. If acknowledgment of receiving a transmitted message is received from a destination peer router, that message is deleted from both Master Control Processors. If acknowledgment is not received within a predetermined interval, the stored message is retransmitted. Message splicing prevents lost and partially transmitted messages during and after switchovers.

Abstract: A hand held hair trimming device which when pulled through the hair cuts only a determined portion of the ends of hair strands while leaving adjacent hairs uncut. The device will cut a predetermined length off only the distal ends of the hair shafts each time it has the hair drawn through its serpentine channel. Angled encounter of the distal ends with the cutting blade is prevented by ridges and apertures encouraging such contact only at subtantially straight angles. The device may be held in either hand allowing the hair pass through in either direction by merely changing the rotational direction of the motor by moving the thumb switch. The blade section of the device may be adjustable for changing the amount of the determined length to be cut from the hair shafts or may be removable and replaceable with one of a plurality of differently configured blade assemblies thereby allowing for easy adjustment of the trimmed amount.
