Title: Reassembly engines for multilink applications
Inventor: FRISCHKNECHT DEBORAH ANN
IPC: H04L47/43
Filed: 2001-08-23
Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for processing packet fragments for reassembly into packets.      Datastreams containing packet fragments are received and data corresponding to different channels are segregated.      For each channel, data is then aggregated to recreate packet fragments. Once the fragments are recreated, they are, if required, resequenced using a two-tier memory mapping structure where only pointers, and not the fragments, are manipulated. After resequencing fragments to reassemble the packet, the reassembled packet is dispatched to its ultimate destination. The present invention also provides a method of load balancing between multiple links when packet fragments are transmitted from a fragmenting node through a multiple link bundle.

Title: Semiconductor laser module, and method for driving the semiconductor laser module
Inventor: AIKIYO TAKESHI
IPC: H01S5/024
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: The invention provides a semiconductor laser module that limits overcurrent to a thermoelectric module. In a thermoelectric module (5), a reverse current from a lead pin (16f) to a lead pin (16a) causes thermoelectric heating, while a current from the lead pin (16a) to the lead pin (16f) causes thermoelectric cooling. Overcurrent protection means (20) limits the overcurrent for heating.  The overcurrent protection means (20) includes a bypass (21), a resistor (22) and a diode (23). For heating, the diode (23) turns on to divert part of the current to the bypass (21), thereby limiting the overcurrent to the thermoelectric module (5).

Patent CA-2362762-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for brewing a fluid extract using an inclined filter pouch containing flavor extractable particles
Inventor: HOWELL CHARLES THOMAS
IPC: A47J31/40
Filed: 2000-02-29
Abstract: A method of brewing a fluid extract using a filter pouch (10) containing flavor extractable particles. One step is supporting a fully compliant, fluid-permeable filter pouch partially filled with flavor extractable particles (14) such that the pouch is inclined at an angle to horizontal ranging from about 30 °to about 90 °so that the particles accumulate at a bottom end of the filter pouch. Another step is directing brew water to near an upper end of the filter pouch above the particles.      The brew water enters the filter pouch without the need for an opening in the pouch, and drops to infiltrate the particles. The particles are partially fluidized by and suspended in the brew water and they rise with the brew water into an empty portion of the filter pouch without a need for opposing sides of the filter pouch to separate to generate internal space. A further step includes brewing a fluid extract from the particles in the filter pouch and discharging the fluid extract from the filter pouch. The filter pouch has sufficient exit area that a fluid extract discharge rate matches a rate of brew water entry into the filter pouch when a fluid head is produced inside the filter pouch which is at least as great as a vertical depth of particles in the filter pouch.

Title: Method enabling a purchaser to ask for the execution of an obligation related to a card and enabling an emitter to recognise said obligation
Inventor: MOSHONKIN ANDREI GENNADIEVICH
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2000-02-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method that enables a purchaser to ask fo r the execution of an obligation related to a card and that enables an emitter  to recognise this obligation, wherein said method provides for a remote interaction between the parties and ensures their security. The emitter releases cards each comprising an identifier as well as a verifier which corresponds to said identifier and is hidden by a masking system. The card purchaser sends the card identifier to the emitter together with an indicati on related to the execution of the obligation. The emitter checks that he has n ot provided anybody with a signed answer establishing a link between the identifier provided and an indication different from that provided. The emitter further signs the answer establishing a link between the identifier and the indication and forwards the signed answer to the purchaser. The purchaser checks the signature of the emitter under the answer, also checks that the answer establishes a link between the identifier and the indication  he had sent to the emitter, and eventually sends the card verifier to said emitter. The emitter checks that the verifier corresponds to the identifier and recognises an obligation corresponding to that provided by the card and the indication of the purchaser. This invention can be used in the organisation of product and service sale transactions, in lotteries, in banking and financial activities as well as in other fields.

Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for marring a surface of a fiber optic substrate by sandblasting one or more sides of the substrate during movement of the substrate past one or more sandblasting nozzles to produce a specific illumination pattern. The nozzles may be operated intermittently to produce intermittent light emitting areas along the length of the substrate. Alternatively, the substrate may be moved past the nozzles at a variable speed, or the pressure of the nozzles or spacing of the nozzles from the surface of the substrate may be regulated during movement of the substrate past the nozzles in order to produce a specific illumination pattern. Also, a perforated plate may be placed between the nozzles and substrate in order to produce a specific illumination pattern. After the sandblasting operation, the substrate may be cleaned and cut to desired lengths, and permanently heat formed into any desired shape.

Filed: 2000-06-26
Abstract: A method and device prevent a set-top terminal from accepting a download of new programming or data over a cable network when the download contains information already possessed by the set-top terminal or would cause an inconvenience to subscribers. When the set-top terminal is signaled that a new download is being offered, it checks whether the download contains a newer version of data or programmming than that currently resident in the set-top terminal. It also checks whether the conditions indicating that an interruption of service to accept a download would not invonvenience the subscriber, are satisfied. If they are, the downlaod is accepted. Similar criteria govern the termination of the older, executing programming and the execution of the newer, downloaded programming to, again, prevent unwarranted disruptions in service.
