Inventor: AGAZZI OSCAR E
IPC: H04L7/02
Filed: 2000-01-20
Abstract: A method and a system for compensating for a permutation of L pairs of cable such that the compensation is localized in a trellis decoder of a receiver. The L pairs of cable correspond to L dimensions of a trellis code associated with the trellis decoder. The trellis code includes a plurality of code-subsets. The permutation of the L pairs of cable is determined. A plurality of sets of swap indicators based on the permutation of the L pairs of cable is generated. Each of the sets of swap indicators corresponds to one of the code-subsets. The code-subsets are remapped based on the corresponding sets of swap indicators.

Title: Method and apparatus for copy protection for various recording media
Inventor: RYAN JOHN O
IPC: H04N5/913
Filed: 1995-06-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for copyright protection for various recording media such as compact discs (CDs) uses a combination of symmetrical and asymmetrical data encryption to permit the player to handle either copy-protected or non-copy-protected media, in a manner that is extremely difficult to compromise. Coupled with the combination of encrypting methods, an Authenticating Signature is recorded on the media only when copy-protection is required. The nature of this Authenticating Signature is such that it will not be transferred to illicit copies made on CD recorders. When either an original protected or an original non-protected disk is played, the presence or absence of the Authenticating Signature causes the player to correctly decrypt the program data. All original CDs therefore play normally. When a copy of a non-protected CD is played, the absence of the Authenticating Signature also causes the player to correctly decrypt the program data. However, when a copy of a protected CD is played, the absence of the Authenticating Signature causes the player to generate false data which prohibits the disk from playing normally.

Abstract: A blind rivet able to be anchored in material such as softwood, without the need to break through the blind face (36) of the material, comprises a tubular shell (14) and a stem (15) which extends through the shell. The shell (14) has a preformed head (18) at one end of a shank (17). An end portion (19) of the shank remote from the head (18) has a thinner wall (21) than the main, next adjacent, portion of the shank, and is thus weakened and made more easily expandible. The stem (15) has a plugging portion (28) having an expander head (29) adjacent the thin-walled end portion 19) of the shell, a breakneck (27), and a pulling portion (26) which projects from the head end of the shell.

Title: Process for preparing alloyed negative electrodes and devices utilizing these electrodes
IPC: H01M4/38
Filed: 1985-03-28
Abstract: The disclosure describes a method for the preparation of metallic alloys containing an alkali or alkali-earth metal, such as lithium, and a host metal, such as aluminum. Initially, an active organic solution of the alkali or the alkali-earth metal is prepared, and a source of the alkali or alkali-earth metal which are both brought together with one another. On the other hand, a metallic structure containing the host metal is prepared, the metallic structure is brought together with the organic solution which is kept in touch with the source of metal until there is formed an alloy of the host metal and of the alkali or alkali-earth metal with the metallic structure, and the alloy possesses an activity which is determined by that of the organic solution. The organic solution then acts as transfer agent of the alkali or alkali-earth metal towards the host metallic structure. To prepare a negative electrode, the alloy is brought together with an electrolyte, such as a thin polymeric film. The disclosure also describes the electrodes as well as the electrochemical generators produced by using these electrodes. Considerably improved properties of cycling are obtained.

Title: Static electric discharge apparatus with active electrical circuit
Inventor: CUBBISON RICHARD JAMES JR
IPC: H01T23/00
Filed: 1989-10-30
Abstract: Apparatus for discharging static electricity from the human body by ionizing air and utilizing the flow of ions from the apparatus into the surrounding environment to discharge the body. The apparatus utilizes two power supplies (206, 207) to raise two embedded electrodes (201, 202) positioned in a horizontal plane different voltage potentials with respect to the body. The air is ionized by utilizing discharge electrodes (208, 209) of the opposite polarity positioned over each of the embedded electrodes which results in air ions being formed in a ion distribution above each embedded electrode. The embedded electrodes are positioned a predetermined distance from each other in the embedded plane. Within the region (214) between the embedded electrodes, the ions recombine to form air molecules. The ions in the distribution layers above each embedded electrode drift toward this region under attraction from each other. As the ions move, ions of the same polarity as the body are repelled into free air by virtue of the presence of the static charge on the body. In free air, they eventually drift to a grounding point within the environment. This expulsion of the ions of the same polarity as the body discharges the static electricity from the body.

Patent AU-4906796-A (AU)
Title: A device and process for generating and measuring the shape of an acoustic reflectance curve of an ear
Inventor: COMBS JEROME T
IPC: A61B10/00
Filed: 1996-01-26
Abstract: A device or a process for analysis of acoustic reflectance of components of an ear involves directing, into the ear canal, acoustic waves covering a range of frequencies including resonance frequencies of ear components such as the tympanic membrane. Measurements are made without pressurizing the ear canal and contact between the device and the ear does not need to be air-tight. Accordingly, the patient experiences essentially no discomfort from use of the device. The device detects and combines the incident and reflected waves to produce what is called an acoustic reflectance curve. The shape of a region of the acoustic reflectance curve is electronically measured in order to obtain an indicator of ear condition which is substantially independent of a line of sight between a sound source and the tympanic membrane. This indicator is based on a mesurement of the resonance characteristic, or freedom of motion, of the tympanic membrane or other ear component being analyzed. One such measurement is the rate of change of the acoustic reflectance with respect to frequency. Since resonance typically causes a null to appear in the acoustic reflectance curve, this measurement of the rate of change is particularly informative if measured around the null. The rate of change measured around the null may be presented as an angle measurement, a gradient or slope measurement, a width measurement, or other form of measurement of the shape of the null. In one embodiment, the steepest slopes on either side of a null are used to define an angle, herein called a spectral gradient. Diagnosis of an ear pathology, such as abnormal pressure or presence of fluid in the middle ear or such as conductive hearing loss, may be based on this measure alone. Because of the rate of change of an acoustic reflectance measurement is relatively constant for a given ear, regardless of the quality of the line of sight to the tympanic membrane, the effect, if any, of user training on such measurements is significantly reduced. Accordingly, the process and device of the invention are useful in many kinds of diagnostic situations with respect to ear pathology, but particularly in those involving screening of the ears of young children for common pathologies such as otitis media, even by untrained personnel.
