Title: Operating arrangement for mechanism
Inventor: KOWALYSHEN HENRY W
IPC: H01H3/30
Filed: 2000-11-03
Granted: 2011-04-19
Abstract: An operating arrangement is provided for a mechanism or the like, e.g. an operating mechanism for a circuit interrupter for electrical power transmission and distribution systems where the operating mechanism operates on stored energy and requires a recharging operation after the stored energy is utilized to operate the circuit interrupter. The operating arrangement includes an operating member and a cooperating arrangement carried by the operating mechanism for retaining the operating member during a multi-turn charging operation. Initial operation of the operating member for one or more turns causes the operating member to be retained before any charging operation takes place. Subsequent operation of the operating member results in the changing of the operating mechanism. The operating member is then returned to an initial engagement position whereupon the operating member is released for removal from the operating mechanism. In a specific embodiment, an interlock function is also provided for the operating member, such that a key must be obtained from an associated device and inserted into the operating member before a recharging operation may begin for the operating mechanism. The key is inserted into the operating member and held captive therein before the operating member may be utilized to recharge the operating mechanism. In a specific implementation, the key is released from the associated device only when the associated device is locked in a particular operative state, e.g. a disconnect switch is locked open which releases the key for use in the operating member. Thus, while the key is held captive in the operating member during recharging operation, the disconnect switch cannot be operated.

Abstract: An optical WDM ring network includes at least two add/drop nodes connected in a ring path. The ring path comprises only a single optical fiber (1) arranged for bidirectional traffic between the nodes. A 2x2 switch (33) is used in one (B) of the add/drop nodes for switching signals forwarded from the node to the other node (B) to travel either on a first segment of the ring path or on a second, complementary segment of the ring path when required for protection purposes. Signals from the other node to the first node are issued to travel on both segments but the switch selects the actual segment from which the signals are received in the first node. The signals switches by the switch can be high priority signals used in protected channels communicated between the node and another node. On the segment from which the high priority signals are not received, low priority signals in non-protected channels can be communicated between the nodes, these channels also passing the switch.

Title: Encrypted and watermarked temporal and resolution layering in advanced television
Inventor: DEMOS GARY A
IPC: H04N21/2347
Filed: 2002-06-13
Granted: 2012-01-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus for image compression using temporal and resolution layering of compressed image frames, and which provides encryption and watermarking capabilities. In particular, layered compression allows a form of modularized decomposition of an im age that supports flexible encryption and watermarking (1404) techniques. Using layered compression, the base layer and various internal components of the base layer can be used to encrypt a compressed layered movie data stream. By using such a layered subset of the bits, the entire picture stream can be made unrecognizable by encrypting only a small fraction of the bits of the entire stream. A variety of encryption algorithms and strengths can be applied to various portions of the layered stream, including enhancement layers. Encryption algorithms or keys can be changed at each slice boundary as well, to provide greater intertwining of the encryption and the picture stream. Watermarking (1404) tracks lost or stolen copies byck to the source, so that the nature of theft can be determine d and so that those involved in a theft can be identified. Watermarking (1404) preferably uses low order bits in certain coefficients in certain frames of a layered compression movie stream to provide reliable isentification while being invisible or nearly invisible to the eye. An enhancement layer can also have its own unique identifying watermark (1404) structure.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un système de pile à combustible (FC) réalimente un empilement de piles à combustible en air ou en hydrogène en entraînant temporairement un compresseur (41) ou une soupape basse pression (24) même au cours d'un mode de fonctionnement intermittent. Si de l'air est alimenté pour la réalimentation, la quantité d'air restant dans un système d'alimentation en air est maintenue sensiblement constante, de sorte que la chute de tension au cours d'un arrêt du système de pile à combustible peut être maîtrisée. Si de l'hydrogène est alimenté pour la réalimentation, la quantité d'hydrogène se déplaçant vers le système d'alimentation en air est compensée, de sorte qu'un retard dans l'alimentation en hydrogène peut être maîtrisé. De plus, le système de pile à combustible (FC) produit des signaux à partir d'un capteur de freinage (102), d'un sélecteur de vitesse (104), etc., et anticipe une accélération d'un véhicule équipé du système (FC). En fonction de l'anticipation d'accélération, le système (FC) réalimente l'empilement de piles à combustible en air ou en hydrogène à l'avance.
