Title: Electric steering column
Inventor: WARASHINA TOSHIHIKO
IPC: B62D1/181
Filed: 2000-06-22
Granted: 2005-05-10
Abstract: An electric steering column for a motor vehicle is provided, which has a steering shaft. A jacket tube extends along the steering shaft to cover the same. A worm wheel is rotatably held by the jacket tube and has a center bore through which a given portion of the steering shaft loosely passes. A collar member is tightly disposed on the given portion of the steering shaft defining an annular clearance between the collar member and the worm wheel. An elastically deformable structure is put and compressed in the annular clearance in such a manner as to induce a rotation of the collar member when the worm wheel is rotated. An electric motor rotates the worm wheel with an electric power. Due to provision of the elastically deformable structure, a possible ill-alignment between the worm wheel and the collar member is absorbed or compensated.

Title: Methods and systems for internet protocol (ip) network surveillance
Inventor: FORTMAN PETER A
IPC: H04M3/22
Filed: 2000-11-16
Granted: 2005-04-05
Abstract: Methods and systems for Internet protocol (IP) network surveillance are provided. In order to perform IP network surveillance, an authentication server associated with an end user device determines whether the end user device is under surveillance. If the authentication server determines that the end user device is under surveillance; the authentication server notifies a proxy server. The proxy server copies call signaling information directed to or transmitted from the end user device and forwards the call signaling information to a recording device. The proxy server can also extract media stream identification and decoding information from the call signaling information and forward the media stream identification and decoding information to an edge router. The edge router can use the media stream identification information to copy the media stream directed to or transmitted from the end user device. The edge router can forward the copied media stream to the recording device along with the media stream decoding information.

Title: Transient tunneling for dynamic home addressing on mobile hosts
Inventor: SALGARELLI LUCA
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2001-02-22
Granted: 2005-05-10
Abstract: Portable and/or mobile IP hosts desiring to connect to the Internet can dynamically acquire a home address and other configuration information through DHCP when powering up in a foreign network. A two-stage configuration procedure is used. First, the mobile host uses the M-IP protocol to establish contact with an addressing element, referred to as a bootstrapping agent, that is usually co-located with a M-IP Home Agent, and that allocates a temporary home address for the mobile host. The temporary address is used to create a temporary tunnel.  Second, this temporary tunnel is used as the communication vehicle over which standard DHCP transactions take place. The present invention is thus arranged to use a) M-IP as the signaling mechanism for reaching the home network and dynamically allocating a temporary home address for the mobile host; and b) DHCP to allocate a permanent home address and any other configuration state for the mobile host.

Abstract: An article irradiation system includes (1) a radiation source for scanning a target region with radiation, (2) a conveyor system including a process conveyor positioned for transporting articles in a given direction through the target region, and (3) radiation shielding material defining the walls of a chamber containing the radiation source, the target region and a position of the conveyor system. The radiation source is disposed inside a loop defined by a portion of the conveyor system and is adapted to scan the articles in the chamber in a plane transverse to the given direction of the transport by the process conveyor. A shield (e.g., an intermediate wall) of radiation shielding material positioned within the loop supports a radiation shielding ceiling of the chamber, inhibits photons emitted from a beam stop in one of the chamber walls from impinging on the outer walls of the chamber and restricts flow in the chamber of ozone derived in the target region from the radiation source. A first queue is disposed outside of the chamber for transferring into the chamber articles from a loading area; a second queue is disposed in the chamber for moving the articles past the radiation source for irradiation by the source; and a third queue is disposed in the chamber for transferring articles from the chamber, after irradiation, for movement to an unloading area. The operations of the first, second and third queues are synchronized. The shield inhibits radiation from the source from reaching the queues.
