Title: System and method for publishing and accessing application apis on a generic terminal
Inventor: SHENFIELD MICHAEL
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2005-01-28
Abstract: Disadvantages with the current application interaction approach include:  changes in configuration or version of a single software component often require the reinstall of a large number of dependent or related applications and previously installed software components are unable to communicate with software provisioned and installed at a later date.  There is provided systems and methods for providing dynamic interaction between a pair of application programs by a platform neutral interface of a terminal, the pair of applications including a requestor application desiring access to a target application. One such method includes registering access information of the target application, such that the access information includes published access information made available in a data structure for retrieval by the platform neutral interface. This method further includes receiving an access request by the platform neutral interface from the requestor application, such that the access request includes request content corresponding to the published access information of the target application. The method proceeds further by obtaining an interface component by using the request content to search the data structure, such that the interface component is configured for enabling communication between the platform neutral interface and the target application in an access format expected by the target application. The method also includes employing the interface component by the platform neutral interface to satisfy the access request of the requestor application for interaction with the target application.

Inventor: DUNSTAN BRETT
IPC: E05D3/06
Filed: 2003-10-08
Abstract: This security door construction is applicable to safes, factory doors and house doors. An offset hinge assembly allows the door to swing open and clos ed and also to slide in and out of a door slot in the door frame at the closing edge of the door. In the construction of a safe, hooks on the inside of the door enter slots in upstands inside the safe and engage and disengage throug h the sliding motion. House doors and screen doors use a hinge assembly which operates in the same way as the safe. One pair of hinges are fixed to the frame and the second pair of hinges are fixed to the door. The frame and doo r pairs are connected by a rod or tube which ensures that the hinge axis of th e door pair remains parallel to the hinge axis of the frame pair. A door locki ng mechanism is actuated by a conventional pneumatic door closer. A gas strut supplies the thrust to cause the mechanism to slide the door into the door slot when the door closer brings the door into register with the door slot.< /SDOAB>

Title: Method and system for compositing three-dimensional graphics images using associative decision mechanism
Inventor: BAKALASH REUVEN
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2004-01-28
Abstract: A method and system for compositing a plurality of three-dimensional Sub-Images by examining the Depth values of the Pixels corresponding to same spatial location in each Sub-Image and compositing the content of the Pixel having the greatest Depth value. The Depth values are divided into two or more binary Segments, where the bit length of the Segments is determined according to their level of significance. In a first step, the numerical values of the Segments having the same level of Significance are simultaneously compared, and accordingly a group designating the Depth values which the numerical value of their Most Significant Segment is the greatest is determined, and a Grade is evaluated for the Least Significant Segments indicating their numerical size in comparison with the numerical value of the other Segments of the same level of significance. In a second step, the Grades of the Segments of the Depth values which corresponds to the group are compared, and Depth value indications are removed from the group if their Grade is less than the highest Grade which corresponds to another Depth values in the group. The second step is repeated until the last set of Segments is reached or until a single Depth values is designated by the group.

Title: Rotary cutting mat
Inventor: OKADA SHOJI
IPC: B26D7/20
Filed: 2005-08-09
Abstract: A rotary cutting mat has a base plate and a rotary mat, which can be rotated relatively to each other. The rotary mat is provided with a shaft member projected from a reverse side thereof. The base plate is provided with a receiving portion, which rotatably receives the shaft member of the rotary mat. Since the rotary mat is simply placed on the base plate with the shaft member being inserted in the receiving portion, there is no need of a rivet for connecting the rotary mat and the base plate. Thus, the constitution on the mat is simplified and the surface of the mat can be maintained in flat without any buried rivet head in the mat.

Title: Conception par voie computationnelle d'un analogue soluble dans l'eau d'une proteine, tel qu'un canal de phospholambane et de potassium kcsa
Inventor: KONO HIDETOSHI
IPC: G16B20/50
Filed: 2004-01-21
Abstract: Les protéines membranaires et les protéines solubles dans l'eau partagent un noyau similaire. Cette similarité suggère qu'il devrait être possible de dissoudre dans l'eau les protéines membranaires par mutation seulement de leurs résidus exposés aux lipides. L'invention concerne des outils et procédés computationnels pouvant être utilisés pour concevoir des variantes solubles dans l'eau de protéines membranaires en hélice, à l'aide de phospholambane pentamérique (PLB) et du canal potassique KcsA comme modèles. Pour dissoudre le PLB dans l'eau, les positions exposées de la membrane sont changées en acides aminés polaires ou chargés, tandis que le noyau putatif est laissé intact. Nous avons produit du phospholambane soluble dans l'eau (WSPLB) et comparé ses propriétés à celles de ses prédécesseurs PLB. Comme sonde de l'exactitude du pli de KcsA soluble dans l'eau, les protéines conçues par voie computationnelle contiennent un site de liaison de l'agitoxine-2 d'un homologue mammifère du canal. Les protéines résultantes expriment du <i>E. coli</i> avec un rendement élevé et partagent les propriétés fonctionnelles et structurelles envisagées avec KcsA, y compris la structure secondaire, la structure quaternaires tétramérique et une liaison spécifique serrée, une liaison spécifique à la fois à l'agitoxine 2 et à un petit bloqueur de canal de molécule.

Title: Network switch for link interfaces and processing engines
Inventor: MEDVED JAN
IPC: H04J3/22
Filed: 2004-05-13
Abstract: Technology is disclosed for directing data through a network switch (108). One version of a network switch employs a mid-plane architecture that allows data to be directed between any link interface (100, 102, 104, 106) and any processing engine (110, 112, 114, 116). Each time slot of data from an ingress link interface can be separately directed to any ingress processing engine.  Each time slot of data from an egress processing engine can be separately directed to any egress link interface that supports the lower level protocol for the data. In one version of the switch, each processing engine (110, 112, 114, 116) in the network switch has the ability to service all of the protocols from the layers of the OSI model that are supported by the switch and not handled on the link interfaces. This allows the switch to allocate processing engine resources, regardless of the protocols employed in the data passing through the switch.
