Title: Automatic updating of diverse software products on multiple client computer systems
Inventor: NARASIMHAN BALAJI
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 1997-06-06
Abstract: A system and method update client computers of various end users with software updates for software products installed on the client computers, the software products manufacturered by diverse, unrelated software vendors. The system includes a service provider computer system, a number of client computers and software vendor computer systems communicating on a common network. The service provider computer system stores in an update database information about the software updates of the diverse software vendors, identifying the software products for which software updates are available, their location on the network at the various software vendor computer systems, information for identifying in the client computers the software products stored thereon, and information for determining for such products, which have software updates available. Users of the client computers connect to the service provider computer and obtain a current version of portions of the database. The client computer determines that software products stored thereon, and using this information, determines from the database, which products have updates available, based on product name and release information for the installed products. The user selects updates for installation. The selected updates are downloaded from the software vendor computer systems and installed on the client computer. Payment for the software update and the service is mediated by the service provider computer. Authentication of the user ensures only registered users obtain software updates. Authentication of the software updates ensures that the software updates are virus free and uncorrupted. Changes to the client computer during installation are monitored and archived, allowing the updates to be subsequently removed by the user.

Patent CA-2240483-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VILA PIERRE
IPC: H04L27/01
Filed: 1996-12-04
Abstract: A method comprising the steps of calculating the coefficients of a spatial filter applied to signals from a third stage as well as those of a temporal filter applied to the reply signal consisting either of known symbols for learning sequences (SA) or of demodulated symbols for information sequences (SI). The coefficients of both filters are calculated in such a way as to minimise, under a predetermined constraint, a root-mean-square error criterion between the spatial filter output and the temporal filter output. Signals from the third stage are then filtered using the resulting spatial filter coefficients, whereby the sensor array gain is optimised in the direction of the wanted spatial filter output and interference is rejected. The spatial filtering output (y(t)) then undergoes one-dimensional equalisation at a symbol rate that determines the transmitted symbols, and the spatial and equalising filter coefficients are updated in accordance with a predetermined sequencing. The method is useful for HF and GSM reception in a disturbed radio environment.

Title: Mesh spacer for heat exchanger
Inventor: PALERMO HENRY W
IPC: F28F21/06
Filed: 1997-01-10
Abstract: A blood heat exchange system (10) is disclosed generally comprising a plurality of small polymeric hollow conduits (32) for conveying blood. The hollow conduits (32) are formed in a flat or mat shape that are wrapped in layers around a spindle (16). Layers of the hollow conduits (32) are spaced from each other by a mesh spacer (40). The mesh spacer (40) has holes (44) through it so that a heat transfer fluid such as water may more efficiently flow over and around the outside of the hollow conduits (32). The heat transfer fluid conveys heat from or to the outside surfaces of the hollow conduits (32) which in turn transfer heat from or to the blood passing through the hollow conduits (32). The invention provides a heat exchanger (10) that is more efficient than previously known heat exchangers because the flow of the heat transfer fluid over and around the outer surface of the hollow conduits (32) is more efficient.

IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 1998-09-08
Abstract: An optical apparatus that can be used to monitor and/or test targeted optical fibers. The apparatus is contained within a housing that is sized to fit within a shelf of the frame of a fiber administration system. Within the housing is a stationary plate having a face surface. Incoming optical fibers connect to connectors in an array on the side of the housing. The connector array interconnects the incoming optical fibers to a plurality of optical leads in the housing. The optical leads in the housing are optically coupled to target points on the face surface of the stationary plate. A motor is positioned across from the stationary plate. The motor selectively turns an armature that is attached to the shaft of the motor. A light receiving element is disposed on the armature, wherein the light receiving element optically aligns with each of the target points on the face surface of the stationary plate when moved by the motor. An electro-optical converter is optically coupled to the light receiving element on the armature. As the armature aligns the light receiving elements with the various target points on the face of the stationary plate, signals from the incoming optical fibers are optically connected to the electro-optical converter.

Title: Method and apparatus for performing preferred system selection
Inventor: ENGLISH SEAN
IPC: H04W8/18
Filed: 1997-03-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting a communication system in accordance with geographic region of the suscriber station. The subscriber station first attempts to determine its geographic region. It does so by attempting to acquire a system which covers the region. Once the subscriber station has determined its geographic region, the subscriber station then determines whether the acquired system is the most desirable system for use in the geographical region. If it is the most desirable system for use in the geographical region, the subscriber station registers with the acquired system. If it is not the most desirable system for use in the geographical region, the subscriber station attempts to acquire a more desirable system.
