Patent CA-2320307-C (CA)

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une méthode et à un système permettant de reconfigurer un système à plusieurs noeuds après un changement d'époque d'une manière permettant de réduire la surcharge système et l'indisponibilité du système survenues lors de la reconfiguration. On établit une mise en correspondance ressources/maître en utilisant la combinaison d'une fonction de hachage ressources/case et d'une fonction de hachage ressources/noeud. La fonction de hachage ressources/case n'est pas modifiée en réaction à un changement d'époque, par contre, la fonction de hachage ressources/noeud est modifiée en réaction à un changement d'époque. L'invention porte sur des techniques permettant d'adapter la fonction de hachage dynamique ressources/noeud à la suite d'un changement d'époque d'une manière qui équilibre la charge entre les nouveaux nombres de noeuds dans le système. Les changements apportés aux attributions case/noeud se font d'une manière qui réduise le nombre de ressources auxquelles il faut ré-attribuer un maître. Dans une réalisation, on n'attribue de nouveaux maîtres durant une reconfiguration initiale qu'aux ressources ayant perdu leurs maîtres lors d'un changement d'époque. On parvient ainsi à un équilibrage des charges en transférant des ressources après que le système est devenu disponible. Les anciens maîtres de ressources envoie des demandes aux nouveaux maîtres de ressources après qu'ils ont transféré les objets ressource maîtres en rapport avec les ressources demandées. Cette invention concerne, de surcroît, des techniques de transfert de ressources depuis un noeud d'une manière qui anticipe la cessation d'activité du noeud.

Title: Memory rewriting system for vehicle controller
Inventor: YASHIKI TETSUYA
IPC: G06F21/14
Filed: 2001-03-07
Granted: 2011-09-20
Abstract: A memory rewriting system for a vehicle controller is provided. The system comprises a vehicle controller and an external rewriting device. A vehicle controller comprises a rewritable memory storing first security data. The first security data is used to determine whether rewriting to the rewritable memory is permitted. The rewriting device transfers new security data to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller deletes the first security data and writes the new security data into the rewritable memory. Rewriting the new security data is performed by a program stored in a non-rewritable memory. Thus, the security data that is used to determine whether rewriting to the rewritable memory is permitted is rewritten with the new security data. Therefore, if the existing security data stored in the vehicle controller is invalidated, the security feature of the vehicle can be recovered. The vehicle may includes an anti-theft system. In this case, rewriting to the rewritable memory is permitted if the anti-theft system permits an operation as to the vehicle .

Abstract: A fill probe with an in-line mixer accelerates and facilitates automation of a fill and mix procedure required in formulating certain chemical products. In some formulas, the concentrated chemical components that combine to form the resulting formula (e.g., teat dip) have a wide range of viscosities. The in-line positioning of the mixing attachment with the fill probe on the outside of the fill probe creates a dual action mixing operation that mixes the components as they are deliver to a mixing container and continues to mix them after they are combined with other chemicals within the mixing container. By using a combination fill probe and in-line mixer of the claimed design, a user can automate the fill and mix process, decrease the required mix time, and reduce foaming and spillage of chemicals.

Abstract: An encryption arrangement for multiple encryption of television programs. A system according to embodiments of the present invention multiple encrypts only a portion of the data required for full presentation of a television program to permit coexistence of multiple conditional access encryption systems associated with multiple manufacturer's set-top boxes within a single system. In one embodiment, only audio data are encrypted leaving video in the clear. By only encrypting a portion of the program, dramatically less bandwidth is consumed than the alternative of multiple encryption of all program data, thus permitting a larger number of programs to be carried over the same bandwidth while permitting coexistence of multiple conditional access systems in a single cable television system.
