Inventor: MILLER THOMAS J
IPC: G06F17/30

Abstract: The present invention provides reliable systems and methods for rapidly determining whether file data streams are the same, or different, without having to make a comparison between the actual data streams. If the determination is made that the data streams are different, the present invention can rapidly determine where the changes between the data streams occur, again, without having to actually compare the entire size of the data streams. Such methods and systems are accomplished by generating a native data signature (NDS) for each data stream stored by the file system, wherein each NDS is substantially smaller in size as compared to the data stream corresponding thereto. The NDS is generated by separating the data stream into a plurality of allocation units, ranging in size from 4K bytes to 256K bytes; by generating a unique change identifier (UCI), one per each allocation unit; and by assembling the UCIs into a series of bits, typically ranging up to, and including, 64 in number. Thus, even with a UCI having 64 bits, time efficiency for comparing data streams by comparing between NDSs is improved on the order of 500:1 or 32,000:1, depending upon the size of the allocation unit.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'exploitation d'une installation de refoulement de boues en nappe pour extraire des impuretés sous forme particulaire d'eau brute à traiter, avec plusieurs cuves de réacteur (10) présentant dans la zone de base inférieure, une arrivée d'eau brute (1) et dans la zone supérieure, une évacuation d'eau claire (4) par laquelle l'eau claire débarrassée des impuretés s'écoule hors des cuves de réacteur (10), ainsi qu'avec des compartiments d'extraction de boues (8) disposés entre ou à côté des cuves de réacteur (10) et qui se trouvent en communication hydraulique avec elles. Les impuretés extraites de l'eau brute sont évacuées hors de ces compartiments sous forme de boues. Ce procédé se caractérise en ce qu'au même moment, dans chaque cas, des boues sont extraites uniquement d'une quantité partielle des compartiments d'extraction (8) de l'installation de refoulement de boues en nappe et que pendant l'extraction des boues, les arrivées d'eau brute (1) des cuves de réacteur (10) en communication hydraulique directe avec les compartiments d'extraction de boues (8) correspondants sont obturées à l'aide de dispositifs à tiroirs et sont ensuite libérées après évacuation des boues. Ce procédé permet d'une part de pallier les insuffisances technologiques des procédés d'exploitation connus d'installations de refoulement de boues en nappe, et par ailleurs d'augmenter la capacité de débit de l'usine hydraulique pour la porter à 100 % de l'extension prévue en termes de volume d'eau.

Abstract: A device for removing undesirable material from a tubular structure within the human body features a cylindrical body with a lumen therethrough. The distal portion of the body is divided into a number of flexible members. An inflatable cuff is attached to the flexible members. When the cuff is inflated, the members flex radially outwardly so that the distal opening of the lumen is expanded. An inflation tube is used to inflate and deflate the cuff by means of a syringe. An elastomeric membrane sleeve surrounds the flexible members so that the latter are contracted towards their original position when the cuff is deflated. The sleeve also prevents material from escaping between the flexible members when the cuff is inflated.

Abstract: A method and system for performing cell load control in a mobile radio network using diversity connections between base stations i s described, wherein the efficiency of the resource management in the radio network is improved by transmitting an external message containing a load information of a cell to a radio network controller not serving this cell. The transmission may be performed in response to a corresponding request transmitted by the radio network controller to another radio network controller which serves the corresponding radio cell. When the radio network controller has received the load information of the cell controlled by the other radio network controller, it may use the load information for deciding on a load status of the radio cell. Thereby, the resource management of radio network is more efficient and the load is maintained balanced among different cells, wherein a possible situation of cell congestion and high interference is avoided. Moreover, the active set management efficiency is improved, resulting in a higher connection quality, since the decision algorithm to change the active set is faster and more efficient. (Fig. 3)

Abstract: An actively controlled rotary steerable drilling system for directional drilling of wells
having a tool collar rotated by a drill string during well drilling. A bit shaft has an upper portion
within the tool collar and a lower end extending from the collar and supporting a drill bit. The bit
shaft is omni-directionally pivotally supported intermediate its upper and lower ends by a
universal joint within the collar and is rotatably driven by the collar. To achieve controlled
steering of the rotating drill bit, orientation of the bit shaft relative to the tool collar is sensed and
the bit shaft is maintained geostationary and selectively axially inclined relative to the tool collar
during drill string rotation by rotating it about the universal joint by means of an offsetting
mandrel that is rotated counter to collar rotation and at the same frequency of rotation. A drilling
fluid driven turbine in combination with an alternator produces electric power which is used to
drive an electric motor. The electric motor provides rotation to the offsetting mandrel with
respect to the tool collar and is servo-controlled by signal input from position sensing elements
such as magnetometers, gyroscopic sensors, and accelerometers which provide real time position
signals to the motor control. In addition, when necessary, a brake is used to maintain the
offsetting mandrel and the bit shaft axis geostationary, the brake being servo-controlled by signal
input from position sensing elements which provide real time position signals to the brake control.
Alternatively, a turbine is connected to the offsetting mandrel to provide rotation to the offsetting
mandrel with respect to the tool collar and a brake is used to servo-control the turbine by signal
input from position sensors which provide real time position signals to the brake control.

Abstract: The system uses a static camera producing a large area view from which the required small angle view can be extracted by processing. A sequence of video images in the form of a matrix of pixels is processed, the signal being derived from at least one fixed camera which offers a wide field with a higher resolution than the viewing system (14). A dynamic selection is made from this image in order to provide a rectangular viewed image having the required ratio of width/height for the intended viewing screen. The pixels required for the viewing system image are determined by interpolation based on the information available from the extracted image within the major wide-field view. An extract of the wide-field view is thus produced for the viewing screen.

Abstract: The basic operating principle of this system is to store energy in
the form of hot water and then to recover it when needed. This
boiler stores the water from the heating system and keeps it hot. 
     The tank for storing this water can be built from less expensive
materials than the tank for storing the household water. The
tank can also be built to specifications which are more suitable
for the size of the boiler itself. 
     The fact that there is no heat exchange coil in the tank means
that it has a larger storage capacity Since the water contained
in this tank comes from the heating system, there is no need for
devices which prevent the build-up of calcium inside the tank
itself. 
     When water is drawn, the household water will then be heated
by a household heat exchanger of an appropriate size. The 
build-up of lime can be prevented by using a bypass valve
which skips the heat exchanger during the pre-heating phase.
