Patent EP-1055609-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RICHARD B NIELSE
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 2000-05-10
Abstract: A tamper-indicating closure (24 or 24a or 24b) of integrally molded plastic
construction that includes a base wall (30) having a peripheral skirt (34) with an internal thread
(36) for engaging a corresponding external thread (28) on a container finish (26) to retain the
closure on the finish. A tamper-indicating band (38 or 38a) is connected to an edge of the skirt
by a plurality of spaced integral frangible bridges (41). A stop flange (42 or 42a or 42b) extends
axially and radially from an edge of the band remote from the skirt, being flexibly connected to
the band by an integral hinge portion. A plurality of circumferentially spaced openings (50 or 50a)
extend axially through the band adjacent to the hinge portion, forming drain openings through
which fluid may drain after the closure is applied to a wet container finish. In the preferred
embodiments of the invention, these drain openings are formed by a plurality of circumferentially
spaced channels (54) on the radially inner surface (52) of the band extending axially from adjacent
to the frangible bridges to open at an axial edge of the band remote from the frangible bridges.

IPC: H04W16/02

Abstract: In a wireless communications system having a centralized interworking function (IWF) and
geographically distributed base stations, a packet-oriented frame selection/distribution (FSD)
function forwards forward-link user data intended for a particular mobile unit directly to a primary
base station, which determines whether to transmit the forward user data to the mobile unit using a
fundamental channel or a supplemental channel. If the data is to be transmitted using a
fundamental channel, when the base station is operating in soft handoff, the forward user data is
transmitted from the primary base station back to a circuit-oriented FSD function for forwarding to
all of the base stations currently participating in the soft handoff, so that all of the base stations can
transmit the forward-link user data to the mobile unit at the same time. If the data is to be
transmitted using a supplemental channel, then the primary base station is able to assign a
supplemental channel and transmit the forward user data to the mobile unit using the supplemental
channel in simplex mode, independent of whether or not the mobile unit is otherwise operating in
soft handoff. In this way, forward-link data transmissions can be performed without first having to
coordinate either the timing or the data rate with any other base stations or with the FSD function.
As such, the reactivation time needed to resume active forward-link data transmissions using a
supplemental channel from the control hold state is less than the corresponding reactivation time
under the prior art, which does require coordination of timing and data rate between all base
stations in soft handoff.

Abstract: An error correction method for optical discs, and more
particularly, an error correction method appropriate to
high density discs is provided. The error correction
method adding inner parity and outer parity to an error
correction block with  n byte x m x o  size have the steps
of obtaining a plurality of inner parity blocks (PI
blocks) by segmenting the error correction block to the
inner parity (PI) direction into x segments (here, x is an
integer equal to or greater than 2); generating e-byte PI
for each of the plurality of PI blocks generated by
segmenting, and adding the PIs to the PI direction; and
generating f-byte outer parity (PO) to the PO direction of
the error correction block having PIs, and adding the POs
to the PO direction. The error correction method
maintains redundancy of parity signal in the similar level
to the existing DVDs, while enhancing error correction
capability.

Abstract: A computer (30(1)) detects congestion (50, 80) on a network transport medium (32) and in response thereto refrains from sending any packets containing messages. These to be transmitted messages are instead stored (56, 84) by the computer in memory (40). In one embodiment, each message addressed to the same destination addressee computer is stored (84) in a common buffer (38), with a different buffer being allocated to each identified destination addressee computer (30(2) and 30(3)) for the to be transmitted messages. In another embodiment, each such message is encapsulated (54) into a single packet (36) that is stored (56) in the reserved portion. When the congestion condition on the transport medium subsides (58, 86), the one or more messages stored within a given buffer are retrieved from memory and encapsulated (104) within a single packet (36) addressed to the destination addressee computer associated with that given buffer. Alternatively, the stored single packet is retrieved from memory. That single packet is then sent (76, 106) over the transport medium to the identified destination addressee computer.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically altering an image having
pixels is disclosed. An image is segmented into regions and various features of
the regions are extracted and used to calculate a confidence factor, or belief value,
that a particular region is a main subject of the image. The belief values are
assembled into a belief map that is used to define how pixel values are to be
altered. Various color and appearance values of the pixel are altered in a
predetermined way to emphasize the main subject of the image. The emphasis is
applied in a binary fashion or as in a gradient of values. Either the main subject
can be emphasized, or the secondary or background subjects can be de-emphasized.
The system can be implement on a variety of computer systems.

Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for detecting successful transfers between a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port and a USB smart card and generating a signal that provides an indication of the USB transaction activity. This USB transaction activity signal is modulated according to the USB transaction activity and drives a Light Emitting Diode (LED) in a preferred embodiment of the invention. A counter internal to the USB smart card scales the transaction activity signal such that it is perceptible to the user. Because the current through the LED depends upon the USB transaction activity, the brightness of the LED varies according to the USB transaction activity. The LED may be driven from a current mirror sink or source, or a current switch sink or source.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for indirect evaporative cooling of a fluid stream to substantially its dew point temperature. Plate heat exchanger has perforations 11 and channels 3, 4 and 5 for gas or a low temperature for liquids on a dry side and wet side. Fluid streams 1 flow across the dry side 9, transferring heat to the plate. Gas stream 2 flows across the dry side and through perforations to channels 5 on wet side 10, which it then cools by evaporative cooling as well as conductive and radiative transfer of heat from plate. A wicking material provides wetting of wet side. In other embodiments, a desiccant wheel may be used to dehumidify the gas, air streams may be recirculated, feeder wicks 13 and a pump may be used to bring water from a water reservoir, and fans may be used to either force or induce a draft. The wicking material may be cellulose, organic fibers, organic based fibers, polyester, polypropylene, carbon-based fibers, silicon based fibers, fiberglass, or combinations of them. The device may be operated in winter months to scavenge heat from exhaust gases of a space and thus pre-heat fresh air, while simultaneously humidifying the fresh air.
