Abstract: A plurality of disk drive memories are operatively coupled to a plurality of disk drive controllers. The disk drives are operatively grouped and coupled to a plurality of communication busses, each bus being coupled to a respective disk drive controller. A plurality of segment buffers are coupled to the disk drive controllers and a parity error correction system is coupled to the segment buffers. The error correction system is coupled to an input/output circuit through a plurality of buffers and an interface circuit. A processor communicates with the output buffers, the error correction system, and the segment buffers to control the storage and retrieval of data to and from the array of disk drives. The error correction system establishes a plurality of relatively small parity groups among the disk drives, each parity group having a designated parity drive. The number of drives within each parity group is maintained at a substantially reduced number to provide high speed system response to user inputs and changes and to improve system reliability. Data is uniformly distributed among the parity groups and the disk drives therein.

Abstract: Designs for basecurves are disclosed which are designed to promote adhesion of an excess polymer HEMA ring to the basecurve during a demolding operation such that the excess polymer HEMA ring is removed along with the basecurve during the demolding operation. The basecurve mold designs promote and maintain adhesion of an excess polymer HEMA ring to the basecurve in a process for molding cast contact lenses in mold assemblies, each comprising a frontcurve and a spaced basecurve, and wherein a molded lens is formed therebetween. In one embodiment an annular area of the basecurve mold adjacent to the excess polymer HEMA ring is formed with laser machining marks therein, formed by laser machining a corresponding annular area in a master mold used to cast the basecurve molds. In a second embodiment the annular area of the basecurve mold is formed with electric discharge machine marks therein, formed by electric discharge machining a corresponding annular area in a master mold used to cast the basecurve molds. In further embodiments, the annular area of the basecurve mold can be formed with projecting teeth which project into the excess polymer HEMA ring, or with an annular step which contacts the excess polymer HEMA ring. Moreover, the annular step can include a plurality of projecting teeth therearound, or can define a spoked design or an edgecut design.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et appareils permettant d'assurer un contrôle de sécurité. De nombreux contrôles de sécurité classiques nécessitent l'enregistrement ou la transmission d'un ensemble de données utilisateur respectivement associées à des utilisateurs autorisés. Un problème surgit dans ces systèmes lorsque des personnes non autorisées connaissent l'ensemble de données utilisateur. Afin de résoudre ce problème, la présente invention propose l'enregistrement ou la transmission d'une partie seulement de l'ensemble des données utilisateur dans des sections non protégées du système. Par exemple, on offre un contrôle de sécurité empêchant l'accès à distance non autorisé à un ordinateur partagé (20) en saisissant un ensemble de données utilisateur représentant l'iris d'un utilisateur, en actionnant l'ordinateur personnel (10) de l'utilisateur de façon à sélectionner uniquement une partie de l'ensemble de données saisies requises par l'ordinateur partagé (20) et en transmettant l'ensemble partiel sur une ligne (16) de télécommunication. L'ordinateur partagé (20) déduit des ensembles partiels de données à partir d'ensembles enregistrés de données utilisateur au moyen d'une sélection analogue à celle utilisée par l'ordinateur personnel (10) et compare l'ensemble partiel de données qu'il a obtenu avec l'ensemble partiel de données transmis par l'ordinateur personnel (10) de façon à déterminer s'il faut accorder l'accès ou pas. Font aussi l'objet de cette invention des dispositifs et cartes de points de vente qui n'enregistrent que des ensembles partiels de données utilisateur.

Abstract: A digital mobile communication system is provided with a facility by means of which it can establish a connection to the Internet network via an Internet access point "(IAP"). IAP settings needed for establishing a connection are stored in a mobile station. When a mobile station roams, the closest point may, however, change, and IAP settings should be updated in the mobile station. The invention comprises dividing the mobile communication system into IAP areas, which are given preferred IAPs. For example, an IAP area may be a mobile communication network. Mobile communication networks broadcast system information on the basis of which a mobile station may detect that the LAP area has changed and start a procedure for updating IAP settings. Updating may comprise retrieval of IAP settings from a special server in the network maintained by an Internet service provider. For example, retrieval can be done via a short message service center. In one embodiment, the mobile communication network broadcasts messages giving recommended IAP settings to mobile stations.
