Title: Frozen product vending machine
Inventor: HERZOG CLAYTON
IPC: G07F11/72
Filed: 2003-06-13
Abstract: A frozen product, upright-style vending machine having a pick and place mechanism moveable in three dimensions (X, Y, Z) with a fourth, rotational, degree of freedom (W) effected using the Z axis drive. The mechanism moves along tracks in the X-Y directions and is permitted full range of motion by an extension hose. Frozen products are arranged in a container within the vending machine freezer, the container acting as a virtual cold- wall freezer trapping cold air. The pick and place mechanism positions a vacuum pick-up head over the appropriate product along the X-Y tracks in response to a customer selection. The vacuum pick-up head is attached to a vacuum hose which is wound on a hose reel. The vacuum hose is unwound to lower the vacuum pick-up head along the Z axis to the selected product and, when suction has been established against a selected product in the virtual cold-wall freezer, the vacuum hose is rewound. By over-driving the Z-axis drive motor, the pick-up head is rotated to a horizontal position by hose tension, and the product is dispensed through a delivery door positioned relatively high on the vending machine such that the frozen products are not dropped a significant distance and broken during delivery.

Patent CA-2436622-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RUEHRWEIN DONALD NEIL
IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 2003-08-05
Abstract: A ClariCone-type clarifies is provided with a level sensor, a flow-condition detector, and a controller that work together for automatic control of a blow-down valve. The flown-condition detector detects a condition of the flow through the tank. The detector sends the input to the controller, which uses the input to determine a desired blow-down level. The level sensor detects the height of slurry in the tank, and the controller opens the valve when the slurry level reaches the level determined by the controller. The valve can be set to close after a predetermined fixed period of time, by a timer, or when the level sensor detects that the slurry level has fallen to a predetermined or calculated blow-down termination level.

Title: Selective encryption to enable trick play
Inventor: CANDELORE BRANT L
IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2003-08-12
Abstract: Certain embodiments consistent with the present invention involve a method of selectively encrypting and decoding digital video content. Certain of the packets are selected for encryption according to a selection criterion, wherein the selected packets exclude packets containing start of frame (SOF) headers. The selected packets are encrypted while retaining the packets containing the SOF headers unencrypted to form selectively encrypted digital video content. In decoding selectively encrypted digital video content, offsets are calculated for at least one of I frames and P frames from the SOF headers and the calculated offsets are stored as an offset table. The offset table can then be accessed to enable trick play of the selectively encrypted digital video content.

Title: Method and device for correcting organ motion artifacts in mri systems
Inventor: DHANANTWARI AMAR
IPC: G01R33/567
Filed: 2003-10-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to a signal processing method and system for correcting organ motion artifacts for cardiac and brain imaging. A plurality of sets of MRI  measurement data indicative of at least an image of an object is received. Each set corresponds to one row k x of a k -space matrix of at least a k -space matrix. For each set a k -space matrix of the at least a k -space matrix is determined for allocation thereto based on motion information of the object occurring during acquisition of the plurality of sets of the MRI measurement data. In a following step a location within the allocated k -space matrix corresponding to a row of the k -space matrix allocated thereto is determined for each set. At least a k -space matrix is then generated by re-arranging the plurality of sets. Each of the at least a k -space matrix comprises the sets of the plurality of sets of the MRI measurement data allocated thereto. Inverse Fourier transforming of the plurality of k -space matrices provides at least a reconstructed image.  Through careful selection of the phases of the cardiac and respiratory cycles and corresponding ranges MRI data acquisition periods are of the order of seconds or a few minutes. Furthermore, integration of motion artifact free MRI images of different phases of organ motion using the coherent k -space synthesis according to the invention allows provision of an animation showing different phases of a cardiac or lung cycle. In an embodiment for correcting motion artifacts for brain imaging a motion vector describing translational and rotational motion of a patient's head is tracked during the MRI data acquisition process. The motion artifacts are then corrected based on coherent k space synthesis using the motion vector data.

Inventor: LONG BRADLEY
IPC: H04W80/04
Filed: 2002-06-17
Abstract: A softswitch (321) at a network operations center (NOC) is in data communication with one or more enterprises (116, 310). The softswitch performs call processing, mobility management, and media connection switching and signaling to provide communications capabilities including basic and enhanced calling features to mobile devices (322) at the enterprises. The softswitch routes control signals for calls between the enterprises and the NOC, but routes call media on the most efficient point-to-point paths between the devices on the calls. This routing reduces the amount of bandwidth required between the enterprises and the NOC and provides economies of scale, thereby allowing a centralized NOC to efficiently support multiple enterprises. Each enterprise has an internet protocol (IP)-bases network coupling one or more base station transceivers (118) for providing coverage to the mobile devices.  Each enterprise optionally has a media gateway (318, 330) connected to the IP  network and a private branch exchange and/or public telephone network (332, 122).

Abstract: A glass block structure (10) supported by a flexible phenolic resin framewor k is disclosed. The phenolic resin framework is bonded to the individual glass blocks (12) with an adhesive substance that is placed so as to lie at or nea r the corners of the blocks (12). The phenolic resin that makes up the supporting framework may advantageously be formed in a pultrusion process wherein the resin is embedded with glass-like strands. Further heat-toleranc e and adhesion may be obtained from the use of a high-heat tolerant putty applied between the phenolic resin and the glass blocks (12). The flexibilit y of the phenolic resin allows the block structure (10) to be preassembled and then transported to an installation site as a single, ready-to-install unit.
