Title: Automated key management system and method
Inventor: LITTLE HERBERT A
IPC: H04L12/16
Filed: 2004-08-09
Abstract: A system and method for automatic key and certificate management is disclosed. In particular, a key store in a base computer contains both new and previously viewed cryptographic keys . When a mobile communications device is to be updated with the new keys, the new keys are automatically identified by comparing the keys stored in the base computer with a list of previously viewed keys to determine which new keys are to be marked for download. Upon marking the new keys , the user may be prompted to download the newly identified keys, or they may be downloaded automatically. Once the new keys have been marked, the list of previously viewed keys is updated to include those marked, so that the next time updating occurs, the previously viewed key list will be correct.

Inventor: HITZELBERGER J ERIK
IPC: A47L9/04
Filed: 2004-09-29
Abstract: A floor care apparatus has a nozzle assembly housing an agitator. A motor couples to the agitator to drive it at two or more speeds and constant suction power. A user indicates their mode-of-operation preference by positioning a switch. An agitator motor control circuit, responsive to the switch, effectuates motor control by supplying either a fixed duty cycle signal or a substantially constant voltage signal. The fixed duty cycle signal includes a waveform with a substantially constant voltage value that is on for a first or first and second of four quarters of the waveform period. Thereafter, it repeats for additional periods. The switch preferably embodies a resistor network and a fixed current source that creates a voltage input to an A/D converter that falls within a specified range. Other apparatus embodiments contemplate multiple agitators with one or more agitator motors. A suction fan motor, separate from the agitator motor(s), may also exist.

Patent CA-2490792-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KLAUSMEIER DANIEL
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-06-27
Abstract: Data frames are converted to a format suitable for transparent, flexible concatenated transport such that a network element not supporting flexible concatenation (2605) may transparently pass the data frames. Flexible concatenation involves nonstandard data frames such as an STS-4c or an STS-Nc (2614) in which the time slots do not occupy rigidly defined contiguous time slots. The pointer from the parent time slot is used for each of the child time slots and the concatenation identifier is set to indicate no concatenation. In this way, the concatenated data appears to be a series of conventional STS-1s such that pointer processing may be successfully accomplished even by a network element not capable of handling non-standard concatenations. A downstream receive framer (2619) reconstructs the original STS-Nc based on the N STS-1s and a concatenation table.

Abstract: We disclose an apparatus and process for measuring the Formation Gas Pore Pressure in drilling cuttings samples in the test tube. The Apparatus consist of vertical holder for test tube, for placing the cutting sample and pipette for adding measurable quantity of liquid. (Note: "vertical holder for test tube and test tube" are disclosed in US  patent application 10/711435 Horizontal Binocular Microscope for vertically gravitated and floating samples). The process consist in measuring the gas bubbles size and volume in the test tube and the height of liquid covering the bubble. This we can calculate the volume and the pressure of the gas emitted out of the pores. By adding/subtracting more liquid to the sample and increasing/decreasing the height and the pressure of the liquid on the pore the test is repeated and the measurements documented in the tables for math processing to obtain the error corrections and standard deviation of the measurements. The results are expressed in Emission=V/P=mm3/Pa, Total Volume=V=mm3, Maximum Pressure=P=Pa.

Abstract: A structural shape on the surface of an optical substrate (110) is such that the brightness of diffuse light departing from the surface of the optical substrate (110) at certain off axis angles is reduced, at the expense of a small reduction in peak brightness measured near the viewing axis. The net result is an overall increase in useful illumination. A cross section of a prism as the structural shape has a curved sidewall or facet. A material with a relatively high index of refraction combined with a prismatic structure having a modified prism geometry improves brightness.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des méthodes et des processus de production de protéines, en particulier de glycoprotéines, par culture de cellules animales ou de cellules de mammifères, de préférence, mais ne se limitant pas, à des cultures de cellules à écoulement discontinu. Selon un aspect, lesdites méthodes font appel à au moins deux variations de température mises en oeuvre au cours de la période de culture, dans lesquelles la température est plus basse à la fin de la période de culture que lors du départ de la culture de cellules. Sur toute leur durée, les processus de culture selon l'invention impliquant au moins deux variations de température vers le bas permettent de maintenir une viabilité élevée des cellules cultivées, et peuvent produire un titre final plus élevé de produit protéique, et une qualité élevée de produit protéique, tel que déterminé, par exemple, par la teneur en acide sialique de la protéine produite. Selon un autre aspect, lesdites méthodes font appel à l'addition différée d'un composé polyanionique au cours de la période de culture. L'addition différée d'un composé polyanionique permet de maintenir une viabilité élevée des cellules cultivées, et permet d'étendre la phase de croissance, de retarder l'apparition de la phase de déclin et d'arrêter la phase de déclin.
