Patent EP-1348172-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MANKOVICH NICHOLAS J
IPC: G06Q20/38
Filed: 2001-01-17
Abstract: A "buy" button is provided on devices that receive content material to facilitate a purchase of content related material as the content material is being presented to a consumer. If, while listening to or viewing content material from a provider, the consumer decides the purchase the content material, or an item associated with the content material, the consumer activates a "buy" button on the device that is rendering the content material. The rendering device associates an item identifier associated with the content material to this "buy" command, and forms a purchase request containing this item identifier. If the rendering device has a receive-only capability relative to the provider of the content material, the purchase request is stored until the rendering device is brought in contact with a content access device that is able to transmit to the provider. The purchase request, including certification information such as a customer identification number, a credit card number, and the like, is communicated to the provider by the content access device or by a rendering device that is able to transmit to the provider. In a preferred embodiment, to facilitate a purchase of copy-controlled content material, the rendering device includes a memory that stores the content material while it is being received, and a controller that controls access to this memory until an access authorization is received from the provider in response to the purchase request. A transfer device is also provided that facilitates the communication of purchase requests and content material between the content access device and other rendering devices.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un filtre de conditionnement d'huile amélioré, à utiliser avec un moteur à combustion interne, qui comprend un élément de filtre mécaniquement actif et un élément de filtre chimiquement actif incorporant un conditionneur basique réactif. Le conditionneur basique réactif est conçu pour contrer les produits de combustion acides dans l'huile lubrifiante d'un moteur à combustion interne. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de cette invention, l'agent de conditionnement chimiquement actif est proposé sous forme de granules disposés dans le logement du filtre à huile. Les granules peuvent être agglomérés pour former un élément de filtre poreux en un seul bloc, avec des espaces entre les granules. Les granules sont produits à partir d'un mélange contenant un liant polymère et l'agent de conditionnement chimiquement actif, selon un rapport en poids défini et dans une plage étroite de granulométries. L'élément de filtre chimiquement actif réagit avec les acides présents dans l'huile pour former un produit pouvant être séparé de l'huile par filtrage. Les granules sont produits soit par un procédé d'extrusion à chaud, soit par un procédé à solvant.

IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 2001-05-25
Abstract: A predictive time base generator having predictive synchronizer and replica delay element coupled with the synchronizer feedback delay loop. The predictive time base generator receives a clock signal delayed by a predetermined clock delay and produces a predictive time signal advanced in time by an amount represented by the replica delay element. The replica delay element can replicate one or both of a predetermined clock delay and a predetermined data delay, substantially nullifying the respective delays in critical signal paths of a device. The replica delay element can include replicas of structure(s) found in an incoming clock path and an outgoing data path, such elements including, for example, voltage level shifters, buffers or data latches, multiplexers, wire element models, and the like. A predictive computer bus interface adapter which incorporates the aforementioned predictive time base generator also is provided. Such a predictive interface adapter can be adapted to be observant of stringent bus protocol timing budgets imposed under the PCI and PCI-X local bus protocol, and to be robust relative to variations in design and fabrication processes, and environmental operating conditions.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant d'améliorer l'accès à des données d'un système de fichiers fiable. Dans un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, le système de fichiers détermine l'inoccupation relative d'un ensemble de blocs de stockage, appelée ici «zone d'attribution», ceci est réalisé par l'enregistrement d'un réseau de nombres binaires. Chaque nombre binaire dans le réseau décrit l'inoccupation d'un ensemble de blocs de stockage. Le système de fichiers examine ces nombres binaires au cours de la tentative d'enregistrement de blocs de fichiers dans des zones relativement contiguës sur un support de stockage, tel qu'un disque dur. Lorsqu'une demande d'écriture sur disque apparaît, le système détermine l'inoccupation moyenne de toutes les zones d'attribution et exécute une requête concernant le taux d'inoccupation individuel des zones d'attribution de manière séquentielle. Le système écrit, de préférence, des blocs de fichiers dans des zones d'attribution qui sont au-dessus d'un seuil relatif à l'inoccupation moyenne des blocs de stockage du système de fichiers. Si dans la demande d'écriture, le fichier est plus important que la zone d'attribution sélectionnée, la zone d'attribution suivante au-dessus du seuil est, de préférence, utilisée en vue d'écrire les blocs restants du fichier.
