Title: Managing upstream transmission in a network
Inventor: URBAN DAVID
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2011-05-05
Abstract: A bandwidth allocation and monitoring method may divide available bandwidth on a shared communication medium into a plurality of discrete tones that can be individually allocated to modems on an as-needed basis. The effective modulation rate that a particular modem can use for each discrete tone can be monitored over time using a schedule of pilot tones transmitted from the modems on different tones at different times. The schedule may define representative pilot tones, in which case effective modulation rates for neighboring tones may be inferred from a determined effective modulation rate of a pilot tone.

Title: Commutation entre modes de selection de reseau sans fil en conjonction avec la selection d'un ensemble de cellules sans fil
Inventor: SUBRAMANIAN RAMACHANDRAN
IPC: H04W48/18
Filed: 2009-11-03
Abstract: L'invention vise à permettre à un terminal daccès de basculer sur un mode différent de sélection de réseau sans fil suite à la sélection manuelle dun ensemble de cellules sans fil (par ex. un groupe fermé dabonnés (CSG)) associé à une ou plusieurs cellules sans fil. Par exemple, si lutilisateur dun terminal daccès sélectionne un groupe fermé dabonnés dans un réseau sans fil différent du réseau sans fil actuel, le terminal daccès peut passer en mode manuel de sélection de réseau sans fil, sélectionner le réseau sans fil correspondant au groupe fermé dabonnés et sinscrire sur une cellule du groupe fermé dabonnés dans le réseau sans fil sélectionné. De plus, un terminal daccès peut passer automatiquement dans un mode différent de sélection de réseau sans fil (par ex. le mode antérieur) suite à la perte de la couverture dun ensemble de cellules sans fil. Un terminal daccès peut également sélectionner automatiquement une cellule dun ensemble de cellules sans fil si le terminal daccès revient à une cellule de lensemble de cellules dans un délai défini après la perte de la couverture de lensemble de cellules. En outre, un terminal daccès peut revenir à un réseau sans fil antérieur suite à la perte de la couverture dun ensemble de cellules sans fil.

Title: Point-based guided importance sampling
Inventor: ARMSDEN CHRIS F
IPC: G06T15/06
Filed: 2012-06-28
Abstract: A computer-animated scene illuminated by indirect light is shaded. The scene is comprised of sample locations on a surface element of an object in the scene.  A point cloud representation of the scene is generated. Optionally, an importance map of the scene, based on the point cloud representation, is generated. The importance map is generated by rasterizing one or more points in the point cloud and designating areas of interest based on the energy value of the one or more points in the point cloud. A ray tracing engine is biased, based on the importance map. The biased ray tracing engine calculates the path of the ray to the sample locations in the scene to an area of interest.  The scene is shaded using the output from the biased ray tracing engine.

Title: A hydrodynamic body for a fishing lure
Inventor: SADLER RANDY
IPC: A01K85/12
Filed: 2010-11-24
Abstract: A hydrodynamic body for a fish lure rotates in the water causing the bait hook attached to the rear of the body to mimic the movements of a prey animal. The rotational motion is created by a combination of fins and wing design of the body. The body has a nose up configuration when the fish is not on the hook. When a fish takes the hook the drag caused by the fish causes the body to 'trip' from a nose up position to a horizontal position thereby tensioning the lure line so that the fish cannot escape the hook.
