Title: System and method for processing a new diagnostics case relative to historical case data and determining a ranking for possible repairs
Inventor: RODDY NICHOLAS EDWARD
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-05-13
Abstract: Method and system are provided for processing a new diagnostics case relative to historical case data for a machine undergoing diagnostics. The method allows providing a database 12 storing historical case data for the machine undergoing diagnostics. The method further allows calculating a degree of similarity (e.g., 14) between the new case and respective cases stored in the database. A list of neighboring cases is determined relative to the new case based on the calculated degree of similarity between the new case and the respective cases stored in the database. The list of neighboring cases is processed (e.g., 16) to determine a ranking for possible corrective actions for the new case. A corrective action is selected for the new case based on the ranking of the possible corrective actions for the new case.

Patent CA-2484253-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GROVE VINCENT T
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2003-05-09
Abstract: A modem data aggregating gateway that supports modem relay functionality for permitting reliable switching of modem traffic between a VoIP network and a data packet switch Internet Protocol (IP) network, s.a. the Internet. The modem relay aggregator may receive modem data encapsulated as Voice over IP  (VoIP) data packets in accordance with a Simple Reliable Protocol Transport (SRPT) mechanism. The packet data may be error corrected and/or decompressed before being repackaged for forwarding to the ultimate destination. In the event that the destination is itself an IP device, the modem relay aggregator may forward the packets directly over the IP network. As a result, if the destination of a modem call is an IP device (such as a Web site or other Internet-enabled device) the technique eliminates two points from a processing path in which digital processing (DSPs) would otherwise have to perform modem protocol processing. Otherwise, minimal modem reformatting can be performed at the aggregation point.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-06-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining an optimal transmission path in a data network, wherein the network subscribers (1-14) exchange data in a wireless manner, preferably by radio communication, along a plurality of transmission routes. A first subscriber of the transmission route transmits a search request which can be used as stations of transmission paths by subscribers (1-14) who receive said search request, measure the receiving field intensity, add an identifier to the search request and the measured receiving field intensity, whereupon the search request is subsequently transmitted. The network subscriber (1-14) who is the second subscriber of the transmission route measures the receiving field intensity of the search request and adds to the search request, that which out of all the received search requests contains the optimum transmission route in terms of number of stations and quality of the links between said stations. Said second subscriber of the transmission route transmits said search request thus determined. Each network subscriber (1-14), who receives said search request and whose identifier is contained in said search request stores the identifier registered in the search request prior to his or her identifier as an identifier of a subscriber whose signals are to be retransmitted and retransmits said search request.

Abstract: A system for authenticating individuals traveling to and from various destinations at various times. Personal identity and travel privilege verification are coordinated for several modes of transportation, including aircraft, boats, buses, cars and trains. Travel privileges are considered to be the ability to leave the current location, travel to the desired location, travel at specific times, and use specific forms of transportation. The system specifically provides operator privilege verification, allowing individuals to receive vehicle operator privileges. These privileges are evaluated upon the individual's application, and are periodically updated at the discretion of the controlling institution. The system provides for verification of vehicle operator privileges while the vehicle is in transit, and an apparatus for docking the secure authentication apparatus within the vehicle.

Title: Blowing head with melt distribution
Inventor: HESSENBRUCH ROLF
IPC: B29C48/10
Filed: 2005-03-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a single-layer or multi-layer blowing head in which the melt distribution takes place essentially by means of horizontal spiral mandrel distributors (8). As a result, the usual dead spaces (5) underneath the otherwise inclined spirals are avoided, which leads to better flow conditions in the blowing head and avoids formation of specks caused by long retention times. Furthermore, the overall height can be reduced by the compact arrangement of the spirals.
