Title: An apparatus and method for contact-less switching
Inventor: BALLINGER FORREST HENRY
IPC: B61L23/04
Filed: 2004-11-25
Abstract: An apparatus and method for use with a railroad dragging equipment detecting (DED) system (102) that detects objects hanging from and dragged beneath a train as the train travels along rails (108) of a railroad track (109). A generator (202) supplies a first signal and is coupled to a magnetic amplifier coil (132) to form a magnetically variable impedance circuit (200). The magnetic amplifier coil (132) is responsive to the first signal to create a circuit impedance in series with a detection circuit (210). A magnet (205) is mechanically connected to the cam/follower system (208) and is positioned near the magnetic amplifier core (206) for varying a circuit impedance of the detection circuit (210). A detection circuit (210) generates a second signal as a function of variations in circuit impedance. A controller (206) is responsive to the second signal for activating an alarm (128) when the magnet (205) moves relative to the magnetic amplifier coil (132).

Title: Method and apparatus for preventing un-authorized computer data access
Inventor: ANDERSON LAURENCE G
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: An apparatus and method of preventing unauthorized access to computer data.  The apparatus is installed in a computer system between the main board and an associated data storage device, for example a hard drive. Read/write commands from the motherboard to the hard drive are intercepted and scrutinized by a filter means of the apparatus. If the pre-determined level of data access of the user issuing the command is insufficient to permit the type of access that is being sought (eg:  write access is sought, but the user only has permission for read access on that particular hard drive partition), then the command is blocked. An identity means, for example an RFID, may also be included that identifies an authorized user and corresponding level of data access. The apparatus and method may be employed as a stand-alone solution or as part of a computer network.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of controlling the operation of a missile launcher (12) by predicting the landing position (22) of a missile (16) in flight before it lands. The method includes tracking the missile (16) as it travels along its trajectory (18) until it reaches its apogee (20) and calculating the landing position (22) to provide a feedback correction signal to launcher (12) for the next missile to be launched. By utilising a feedback correction signal in this way, the time to hitting a target (10) from the time of engagement is substantially reduced.

Title: High-strength surface-mounted anchors and wall anchor systems using the same
Inventor: HOHMANN RONALD P JR
IPC: E04G21/22
Filed: 2005-03-30
Abstract: A folded wall anchor and an anchoring system employing the same are disclosed. The anchor is a folded sheetmetal construct utilizable with various wire formative veneer ties. The folded wall tie enables the junctures of the legs and the base of the wall anchor to be located inboard from the periphery of the wall anchor and the legs to fully or partially sheath the mounting hardware. The sheathing function unifies the openings in the insulation required for installation and forms an anchoring system that is less intrusive. Upon installation with the surfaces of the enfolded leg and of the base coplanar, the leg and mounting hardware insertion point is sealed thereby. This sealing precludes penetration of air, moisture, and water vapor into the wall structure. Various embodiments show wall anchor configurations with suitable veneer ties and differing sheathing arrangements.

Abstract: The gist of the invention is a subtitling format encompass-ing elements of enhanced syntax and semantic to provide im-proved animation capabilities. The disclosed elements im-prove subtitle performance without stressing the available subtitle bitrate. This will become essential for authoring content of high-end HDTV subtitles in pre-recorded format, which can be broadcast or stored on high capacity optical media, e.g. the Blue-ray Disc. The invention includes abili-ties for improved authoring possibilities for the content production to animate subtitles. For subtitles that are separate from AV  material, the method includes using one or more superimposed subtitle layers, and displaying only a se-lected part of the transferred subtitles at a time.  Further, colors of a selected part of the displayed subtitles may be modified, e.g. highlighted.

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2005-09-28
Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method provides authoritative answers, developed within a community-based question answering service to users of a general network information search. This community-based question answering service receives a question from a first user, and receives answers from community members regarding this question. The authority of the answer is then determined by members of the community and if the authority is of an acceptable level, the question together with its authoritative answer is added to a database which includes all authoritatively answered questions. The answering service has an interface that exposes the contents of this database to queries from users of the network who are not necessarily members of the answering service. In one embodiment, results from queries of the community-based database are integrated with queries of a second database of general network information. An improved general information search service is also provided that includes query results from the authoritative answers generated by the community-based answering service.

Title: Method and system for global routing and bandwidth sharing
Inventor: WANG JIAHE
IPC: H04L12/16
Filed: 2004-05-12
Abstract: A routing and bandwidth allocation system that maximizes network throughput while maintaining global fairness in the sharing of network resources. From gathered global network information, routing tables and bandwidth allocation policies are computed for routers (110- 118). In some embodiments, the computations involve applying multi-commodity flow methods to provide a "max-fair" allocation of network resources. While in some embodiments each router (110- 118) collects global network information and then locally produces its own routing and bandwidth allocation tables, it can be simpler and cheaper in terms of both computation and security for a centralized, trusted control unit to perform the calculations and then to distribute the results to the routers (110- 118). The computed routing tables can include multiple paths (122- 124) leading to greater link utilization and to robustness to link failure.

Title: Metering fuel pump
Inventor: NORRIS MICHAEL
IPC: F23D14/60
Filed: 2004-08-18
Abstract: A device and method for controlling the flow of a gaseous fuel from a fuel supply to a pressurized combustion chamber. A fuel pump is included in the gas train from supply to chamber. The fuel pump increases the pressure ofthe gas to allow efficient injection into the chamber. The pump is modulated to control the fuel flow. Both alternating current and pulse-width-modulated direct current signals may be used to control the flow. The pump may be a piston pump or a diaphragm pump. Feedback may be provided from sensors that determine operating parameters of the engine and such sensor signals may be used by the controller to maintain a parameter, such as temperature, at a specified value. An acoustic filter can be included in the gas train to significantly reduce gas flow pulsations generated by the pump. This filter improves the uniformity of the combustion process.
