Title: System and method identifying and selecting portions of information streams for a television system
Inventor: JANNIELLO JAMES P
IPC: H04N5/00
Filed: 1999-04-08
Abstract: A Profile Subsystem (which contains a profile of profile items in a database of information of interest to a viewer of a TV) will control selection of one or more of the segments of information if the segments themselves contain one or more profile items. In addition, an Information Processor will process the received information streams and segments to identify streams of interest to the viewers. In this case, the audio segments are processed by any one or more of the following methods: using speech recognition to generate a searchable transcript for key word searching, audio processing to determine the type of audio including any one or more of the following: speech, music, noise, sounds, and speaker identification processing to determine the identity of a particular speaker.  The video segments are processed by any one or more of the following methods:  using image processing to identify a searchable person, place, thing, action, or event.  The data segments are processed by any one or more of the following methods: using text processing to generate a searchable hit list of one or more words. The Information Processor will generate identifiers from the processed segments and the identifiers will then be used by the Profile Subsystem to control the selection of information streams.

Patent CA-2292479-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAMAKRISHNAN KRISHNAN
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 1998-05-13
Abstract: A system, device, and method for providing low access delay for time-sensitive applications in a shared medium network segregates MAC Users into a highpriority group and a low-priority group. Where the MAC User priorities are not known a priori, the MAC User priorities are inferred from the size of the data packets transmitted by the MAC Users. MAC Users transmitting small packets are placed in the high-priority group, while MAC Users transmitting large packets are placed in the low-priority group. The headend unit first polls all of the high-priority MAC Users, and then polls low-priority MAC Users until either all low-priority MAC Users have been polled or the low-priority MAC Users have been serviced for a predetermined maximum polling time. The headend unit repeats this polling sequence in sequential polling cycles to provide the highpriority MAC Users with expedited access to the shared channel.

Title: Method of transferring a sheet through a working apparatus
Inventor: HONDA NORIYUKI
IPC: B65H5/00
Filed: 2000-02-08
Abstract: According to a method of transferring a sheet through a working apparatus, a first sheet is moved by feed rolls partially into a working area of the working apparatus, which is followed by moving a second sheet by the same feed rolls to allow the leading end of the second sheet to be brought into abutment with the trailing end of its preceding first sheet and then to push the first sheet to a predetermined position within the working area.  After the first sheet is thus placed and the second sheet is moved back out of the working area, the apparatus is operated to work the first sheet, for example, by pressing. The second sheet is moved forward into abutment with the trailing end of the worked first sheet and moved further while pushing the first sheet toward delivery rolls of the apparatus, which then removes the first sheet out of the working area of the apparatus. Such steps of operation is repeated to transfer a series of sheets successively through the working apparatus.
