Title: Method for redirection of web streaming clients using lightweight available bandwidth measurement
Inventor: ZELEZNIAK ALEKSANDR
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2004-11-10
Abstract: In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a method for selecting a server to provide content to a client is presented. A media controller receives a request from a client for content. The media controller instructs a plurality of servers each storing the content required by the client to perform a bandwidth measurement referred to in the disclosure as a bandwidth probe. The result of the bandwidth probe is communicated to the media controller. The media controller selects a server (i.e., an identified server) for communication with the client based on the result and communicates the selection in the form of a redirect command to the client. The client then communicates directly with the identified server.

Abstract: A game is disclosed for combining the play of blackjack and the play of craps based upon two dice each having six faces numbered one to six. The board (12) presents a semicircular playing arena (14) with a dealer playing area adjacent the straight diameter (16) of the semicircular playing arena and a plurality of player areas (18). Each of the player areas includes a plurality of craps wager indicator circles (20, 22, 24). After the wagers are settled based upon the play of the cards in accordance with the rules of blackjack, each player who has a blackjack is offered the roll of the dice and a craps wager. The remaining players may also place bets on one of their respective craps wager circles (20, 22, 24). Each craps wager is then settled based on the outcome of a roll of the dice by the player having the blackjack. The subject invention is characterized by interleaving an accumulating pot which is supported by each player placing a pot wager on one of the three wager indicator circles prior to the cards being dealt. A  register (34) keeps track of these initial pot wagers. A player qualifies to roll the dice for a portion of the pot by having a predetermined blackjack, such as the Ace and Jack of one suit or different suits.

Patent CA-2510991-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OTT REINHOLD
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 2004-01-20
Abstract: The invention relates to methods and devices for protecting an article against theft.   Once a protection element is in the on-position (100), a selection signal is transmitted from an emitter to a receiver provided in the protection element, in order to associate the protection element with the emitter and to shift said protection element into a connection mode (110). The receiver is then deactivated (111) in the connection mode (110). The deactivation (111) of the receiver reduces the energy consumption of the protection element, and prevents the protection element from unintentionally receiving other selection signals. Once the protection element has been shifted (112) into an alarm state (120), for example, due to an attempted theft, the receiver thereof is reactivated, in order to reauthorize the reception of a selection signal. The alarm state (120) can be terminated (123) by one such selection signal.

Title: Enhanced switchover for mpls fast reroute
Inventor: LO ALTON
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-09-23
Abstract: A Fast Reroute implementation where switchover time to backup tunnels upon failure of a protected network element is independent of a number of entries corresponding to forwarding equivalence classes forwarding over LSPs using that element. During normal operation of a packet forwarding device, adjacency information for a received packet is retrieved from a forwarding table based on a look-up of the packet~s forwarding equivalence class. Upon failure of a link or node, the appropriate entries in this forwarding table are rewritten to implement the switchover to preconfigured backup tunnels. The switchover is effective even before the rewrite process has completed. Upon detection of the failure, forwarding processing shifts to a fix-up mode. During the fix-up mode, the look-up to the previously mentioned forwarding table is followed by a look-up to a backup tunnel adjacency table based on a pointer retrieved from the forwarding table. Operations relating to use of this backup tunnel adjacency table increase forwarding time somewhat but only during the special fix-up mode.
