Title: Computer curve construction system and method
Inventor: ANANYA BRIGIT
IPC: G06T11/20
Filed: 1999-09-24
Abstract: A computer curve construction system and method for generating curves is shown. Each curve consists of several curve components, connected either with G0 continuity, i.e continuity of points, G1 continuity, i.e. continuity of points and tangent directions, or G2 continuity, i.e. continuity of points, tangent directions, and curvatures. There are different types of curve components, in a first embodiment, for a peak-point curve, the features are start and end points, start and end tangent directions, and a peak point that defines the greatest distance between the curve and the chord, i.e. the connecting line segment between the start and end point. During or after constructing a curve it is possible to modify the curve by changing the position of a feature of any curve component. However there is one exception:  if the curve component is connected with G2 continuity at the start or end point, the peak point cannot be changed.

Abstract: A novel and improved method for performing paging is described. In one embodiment of the invention a searcher is used to detect spread spectrum signals. Samples received RF signals are stored in a sample buffer. During standby mode, the samples are gathered during paging slots assigned to the mobile. A set of searches are performed on the samples, and if pilot signals are detected additional demodulation is performed to detect paging messages.  The resulting set of demodulation data may be combined to increase detection.  After a page message has been detected, additional demodulation resources may be activated to processes more complete page messages, or other information channels. In one embodiment of the invention, the searcher includes a demodulator to perform quick page detection without the use of finger elements to reduce idle mode power consumption.

Patent CA-2364264-A1 (CA)
Title: Connection concentrator for distributed object systems
Inventor: GARG ROHIT
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: In a distributed object system, the services available on the network are modeled as network objects. A client (client1-clientN) typically communicates with and uses these objects using Internet connections. As the number of clients increase, the servers can get overwhelmed by the number of connections coming into the server (server1-serverM), resulting in sluggish response and/or loss of service. The invention describes the mechanisms for reducing the required number of connections by automatically concentrating multiple connections onto a single connection. This is done by introducing shared intermediate connection concentrators called gateways (gateway1-gatewayL).  When the client (client1-clientN) invokes on an external object reference, the ORB running on the client (client1-clientN) automatically forwards the request to a gateway (gateway1-gatewayL) assigned to it, which then forwards it onto a shared connection to the server (server1-serverM). The solution is symmetrical - if the server (server1-serverM) invokes on an object running inside the client (client1-clientN), the invocation again flows through the gateway (gateway1-gatewayL). The mechanisms described here do not require any explicit programming and can be turned ON or OFF via configuration. The disclosure also describes several policy and/or algorithm based schemes for assigning clients to gateways. Advantages of this invention include reduced interference, improved communication bandwidth, fault tolerance, modularity, scalability, and more efficient and cost-effective base stations and mobile stations.
