Patent CA-2416762-C (CA)
Title: Apparatus and method for optical communication protection
Inventor: DE BOER EVERT E
IPC: H04B10/275
Filed: 2001-07-19
Granted: 2009-09-08
Abstract: Protection techniques within optical communication networks are extremely important. An alternative to a line protection scheme, as most current optical communication networks use, is to utilize a path protection technique in which working and protection paths that are desired are assigned during network setup. During normal operations, only the working path is configured within the network elements' switch fabric with protection paths being left unconfigured. If a failure indication is detected in the working path by a network element, a protection entry within a routing table of the network element is looked up to determine protection switching data that is required to switch the data traffic to the pre-assigned protection path. This protection switching data is inserted within the path overhead for the data traffic so that it can be communicated to all of the network elements that require their switch fabrics reconfigured to establish the protection path of communications. This protection technique allows for similar switching speed to that of line switching protection such as BLSR designs, but with an increase in efficiency in terms of protection bandwidth.

Title: Techniques for offloading cryptographic processing for multiple network traffic streams
Inventor: MINNICK LINDEN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2002-08-02
Granted: 2010-03-23
Abstract: A Security Asssociation (SA) lookup table is maintained at a network interface. The SA data is stored in a memory external to the network interface, for example, in the memory of a host electronic system in which the network interface provides network access. The lookup table stores sufficient information for the network interface, or another system component, to access the SA data. When a cryptography operation is to be performed, the SA data is retrieved from the external memory and delivered to the processor performing the cryptographic opeations. In one embodiment, destination Internet Protocol (IP) address and the IPSec protocol are checked after the SA data is retrieved from the external memory. In one embodiment, the lookup table entries contain only an offset value from a base address value to locate the SA data.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods and compositions for targeting and delivering solid-phase platelet-dependent vascular occlusion agents. In particular, particles or coils or stents coated with platelet binding agents are directed to target vasculature, such as the vasculature of solid tumor masses or AV-malformations or aneurysms or endoleaks; the solid-phase agent then binds and activates platelets, which in turn bind and activate other platelets. This process results in the rapid formation of a platelet-mediated thrombus about the solid-phase agent, causing vessel occlusion.

Title: Bande transparente renforcee
Inventor: SHEELY JEFFREY D
IPC: C09J7/29
Filed: 2002-11-04
Granted: 2010-06-22
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une bande renforcée constituée d'une couche structurante visuellement transparente, d'un renfort tissé de préférence à base de fibres en matière transparente, ce renfort venant contre une face de la couche structurante, et d'une couche de colle transparente. La colle couvre le renfort tissé sans le mouiller totalement. Ainsi, avant l'application de la bande, le renfort reste visible contre la couche structurante, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de constater de visu la résistance de la bande. Les indices de réfraction de la matière des fibres du renfort tissé et de la colle sont semblables. Ainsi, lorsqu'on fait pression sur la couche de colle au travers de la couche structurante pour l'application contre un substrat, la colle vient mouiller plus complètement les fibres du renfort tissé, qui de ce fait deviennent sensiblement moins visibles dans la bande renforcée collée sur le substrat.

Abstract: A mass spectrometer and a method of mass spectrometry are disclosed wherein periodic background noise is effectively filtered out from the mass spectral data. An overall mass window is superimposed upon the mass spectral data. The overall mass window preferably comprises 21 nominal mass windows each preferably having a width of 1.0005 amu. Each nominal mass window preferably comprises 20 channels. An intensity distribution relating to all the first channels of the 21 nominal mass windows is determined. An intensity quantile is determined from the intensity distribution.  The intensity quantile is taken to represent the background intensity in the first channel of the central nominal mass window. This process is repeated for the other channels so that the background intensity across the whole of the central nominal mass window is estimated and then subtracted from the raw mass spectral data comprising the central nominal mass window. The overall mass window is then preferably advanced approximately 1 amu and the process is repeated multiple times.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to utilize a set of measurements (either partial or compete) to improve the accuracy of an initial position estimate for a wireless terminal. The initial position estimate for the terminal is first obtained (e.g., based on a cell-ID or an enhanced cell-ID solution).  Measurements are obtained for the terminal. The initial position estimate is then updated with the measurements to obtain a revised position estimate for the terminal. The updating may be performed by (1) deriving a measurement vector based on the initial position estimate and the measurements, (2) forming an observation matrix for the measurements, (3) determining a matrix of weights, (4) deriving a correction vector based on the measurement vector, the observation matrix, and the weight matrix, and (5) updating the initial position estimate with the correction vector.
