Title: Heterogeneous disk storage management technique
Inventor: ADKINS ANDY EUGENE
IPC: G06F3/0482
Filed: 2003-06-04
Abstract: Management of one or more storage devices (121-12) is achieved by first identifying each device by its make and model, and then establishing a database (18) containing information about that device, such as (a) operational rules, (b) commands and (c) processing routines. From the information obtained from the database (18), a Graphical User Interface is created for display to afford a user at least one menu option for selection. Upon selecting the one menu option, the user obtains at least one of (a) a display of information associated with the identified storage device, and (b ) execution of at least one process to control, at least in part, the operatio n of the identified storage device. The user's selection is processed and the Graphical User Interface is automatically updated in response to the processing of the user's selected menu option.

Title: Method for encoding and decoding audio at a variable rate
Inventor: MASSALOUX DOMINIQUE
IPC: G10L19/002
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: A maximum of Nmax bits for encoding is defined for a set of parameters which may be calculated from a signal frame. The parameters for a first sub-set are calculated and encoded with N0 bits, where N0 < Nmax. The allocation of Nmax - N0 encoding bits for the parameters of a second sub-set are determined and the encoding bits allocated to the parameters for the second sub-set are classified. The allocation and/or order of classification of the encoding bits are determined as a function of the encoding parameters for the first sub-set. For a total of N available bits for the encoding of the total parameters (N0 < N = Nmax), the parameters for the second sub-set allocated the N - N0 encoding bits classified the first in said order are selected. Said selected parameters are calculated and encoded to give the N - N0 bits. The N0 encoding bits for the first sub-set and the N - N0 encoding bits for the selected parameters for the second sub-set are finally introduced into the output sequence of the encoder.

Title: Method of destroying seeds
Inventor: KLAPTCHUK PETER
IPC: A01C1/08
Filed: 2004-04-07
Abstract: A method of sterilizing seeds comprises heating the seeds to substantially 95~C or higher and maintaining same at that temperature for substantially 30 minutes. Preferably a combination of steam and microwaves is used to maintain the temperature. Dampening the seeds with steam and water at the start of the process helps the microwaves work more efficiently in maintaining temperature.  The method further comprises treating the seeds with ozone which functions both to sterilize seeds as well as to sterilize pathogenic organisms and to degrade residual herbicides, pesticides and like chemicals that may be present in a seed sample. An auger conveyor (7) carries the seed through the process.  Temperature sensors (13) monitor the temperature of the seeds and control the speed of the auger so that the seeds are maintained at substantially 95 ~C for substantially 30 minutes prior to exiting the output end of the auger conveyor (7). Ozone sensors (17) monitor ozone concentration in order to maintain a concentration of ozone effective to sterilize biological materials as well as to degrade residual chemicals present in seed samples. The auger (7) continuously agitates the seed to expose the seeds to the microwaves and ozone.
