Title: Sampling address portion of packet before it enters a router
Inventor: CHRISTMAS JAMIESON LEIGH
IPC: H04L12/721
Filed: 2003-02-22
Abstract: When a data packet is received 14,15 at a router, the address portion of the packet is sampled 16,17,18 and sent to a programmable logic device 29 which looks it up in the look-up table of memory device 30 and determines an onward transmission path. Determination of the transmission path is performed whilst the remainder of the packet loads into memory 22. The address may be an IP address and the look-up means may compare the address in parts, with each respective part of the local address, in such a way that once a difference is noted, the difference value is used to generate a number, different values of which relate to different routing information depending upon which part of the target address differs from the local address. Two flags may be used in memory 22 to indicate loading, loaded, unloaded and empty states and more than one memory may be used for storing the packets (RAM A-D, fig.3).

Title: Transferring protected content between playback devices
Inventor: INOKUCHI TATSUYA
IPC: H04N7/167
Filed: 2005-06-16
Abstract: When a user wishes to move video content from a video recorder 1 to a portable terminal 2, the video recorder checks whether a moving operation is permitted before transferring the content, a content ID and associated license information to the portable terminal S11. The recorder retains a copy of the content but deletes the associated license to prevent playback of the content S12. The user is then able to playback the content on the portable terminal using the transferred license. The content may be optimised for the portable terminal by converting the bit rate. When the user wishes to use the content on the video recorder, the license and content ID are passed back to the video recorder S21, with the portable terminal retaining its copy of the content. In an alternative embodiment, the devices require permission from an ID module (5, fig. 16) to playback content. The ID module checks that no other device is currently using the content before permitting temporary playback. The ID module may communicate wirelessly with the devices, e.g. using Bluetooth (RTM).

Title: Preparation of hydroxyapatite
Inventor: PRENTICE THOMAS CAMPBELL
IPC: C01B25/32
