Abstract: The present invention relates to pretreating individuals with an effective amount of a flush inhibiting agent for a sufficient period of time prior to the start of single daily dose nicotinic acid therapy to reduce the capacity of nicotinic acid to induce flushing reactions in such individuals during nicotinic acid therapy. In accordance with the present invention, the flush inhibiting agents are administered orally one to four times a day, and preferably one to two times per day, for between about 7 to about 14 days prior to the start of the nicotinic acid therapy. Examples of flush inhibiting agents include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Aspirin is a prefered flush inhibiting agent and may be orally administered in daily doses of between about 80 mg to about 1000 mg, and preferably between about 80 mg and about 650 mg, and more preferably between about 80 mg and about 325 mg, during the pretreatment period. Also consistent with the present invention, the pretreatment therapy may be continued during and administered concurrently with the nicotinic acid therapy, in which the nicotinic acid is preferably administered once per day as a single dose during the evening hours or before or at bedtime. The nicotinic acid may be administered alone or in combination with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors as well as other lipid-altering agents, like cholestyramine and colestipol.

Abstract: The present invention is in general related to automatic alignment in multi-sensor target tracking. The process of the invention repeatedly generates estimates for sensor bias errors (b) by minimising a function, given on one hand by the magnitude of the discrepancy between measurements (M) and a measuring model, where the measuring model is a function of the unknown target location and unknown bias parameters, and on the other by the bias parameters and their predetermined statistical distributions (15). In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the minimising step is performed by linearising components of the function around an approximate target position (normally obtained from the tracker (10)) and around nominal (typically zero) bias errors, and the function is subsequently minimised with respect to target positions as well as to the bias parameters (b). In addition, possible time dependence of the bias parameters are modelled by the incorporation of process noise.

Abstract: The invention relates to a small firearm with a striking pin safety element which ensures that the striking pin (3) can only reach its firing position, in which it is able to fire a cartridge (14), if the breech (15) of the weapon is fully closed. Said striking pin safety element is independent of the trigger mechanism. The invention therefore prevents a cartridge which has been discharged whilst the breech is not fully closed from damaging the weapon and putting the user at risk. The striking pin (3) is kept out of the range of action of the advancing device (9) until it has reached its firing position, hereby being held in a position along its path of motion, in which its two ends are maintained in a safety position inside an area formed in the breech.

Title: Methods and apparatus for selecting multiple paths taking into account shared risk
Inventor: CARPINI WALTER JOSEPH
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2001-06-14
Granted: 2006-01-03
Abstract: Methods, systems, computer readable media are provided which facilitate the selection of multiple paths through a network represented by a network topology which take into account shared risk which may exist between network resources. The method involves identifying a first path through the network topology from a source node to a destination node, the first path comprising a first sequence of network resources. For at least one shared risk group, a determination is made if any of the at least one shared risk group includes any of the first sequence of network resources, a shared risk group being a group of network resources within the network topology which have a shared risk. A topology transformation is performed of the network topology into a virtual topology which discourages the use of network resources in any shared risk group determined. A second path through the virtual topology is identified from the source node to the destination. The method may be adapted to encourage node and/or edge disjointness.

Granted: 2008-12-09
Abstract: La vulnérabilité des contenus électroniques stockés dans des serveurs à une altération effectuée par des tiers non autorisés a gagné en ampleur avec l'avènement d'Internet et du World Wide Web. Les approches actuelles, notamment les approches basées sur les techniques de signature numérique, permettent de vérifier le contenu des transmissions sur les réseaux de télécommunications destinées, par exemple, à des ordinateurs clients, afin de déterminer si des altérations ont été effectuées par des tiers. Ces approches présentent toutes l'inconvénient suivant : tout fichier ayant été altéré est tout de même transmis à l'ordinateur client via le réseau avant que ladite vérification n'ait lieu. Cependant, selon l'invention, un serveur stockant des fichiers informatiques étant chacun associé à une signature numérique unique et recevant des demandes d'accès à un ou plusieurs de ces fichiers informatiques, n'autorise l'accès à ces fichiers que si les signatures numériques qui leur sont associées sont valables. Par conséquent, si un fichier informatique a été altéré par un tiers non autorisé, la signature numérique associée à ce fichier informatique ne sera pas valable lorsqu'elle sera vérifiée et le serveur ne desservira aucun fichier informatique. De cette façon, un fichier informatique ayant été altéré ne peut pas quitter le serveur, ce qui améliore considérablement la sécurité des fichiers informatiques stockés.
