Title: System and method for resolving fibre channel device addresses on a network using the device's fully qualified domain name
Inventor: WILSON STEPHEN K
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 1999-09-23
Abstract: A method and system for discovering the location of a storage router (16, 18), and therefore the attached storage devices (30, 70), in a fibre channel network (10) using the storage router's fully qualified domain name to determine the storage router's arbitrated loop physical address (AL PA). A  domain name query is sent from a host computer (14) over the network to a domain name server (20) to determine an IP address for the storage router (16, 18). The domain name server (20) replies with the storage router IP address.  The host computer (14) then sends an address resolution protocol request containing the IP address over the network to determine a node name for the storage router (16, 18). The storage router (16, 18) replies with its node name. The host computer (14) then sends an FCP request containing the storage router's node name over the network to determine AL PA of the storage router (16, 18). The storage router (16, 18) replies with its AL PA. The host computer (14) can use a variety of standard inquiries to discover storage devices (30, 72) attached to the storage router (16, 18).
Patent CA-2346202-A1 (CA)
Title: Structure or construction for mounting a pressure detector
Inventor: FUKASAWA KAZUO
IPC: G01L9/00
Filed: 2000-08-03
Abstract: A construction for mounting a pressure detector prevents the detector diaphragm from being strained by stress applied to the pressure detector as the detector is mounted in a fixture main body provided in a pipe line or the like, thereby keeping the output characteristics and temperature characteristics of the detector from greatly differing before and after the mounting. The pressure detector is constructed by combining and fastening together a diaphragm base having a diaphragm and a sensor base having a sensor element therein that is activated by displacement of the diaphragm base. The pressure detector, with a gasket placed thereunder, is disposed in a mounting hole of a fixture main body that is mounted in a pipe line. The pressure detector is air-tightly pressed and fastened by a presser member inserted from above in the mounting hole.     The presser member is brought in contact with a block upper surface of the diaphragm base, and the gasket is also brought in contact with the block lower surface of the diaphragm base. A shallow groove is defined in the form of a ring on the lower surface of the block at a place inward of the portion contacting the metal gasket so that the shallow groove absorbs strain caused by the presser member.

Title: Hovering gyro aircraft
Inventor: CARTER JAY W JR
IPC: B64C27/82
Filed: 2001-05-22
Abstract: A fixed wing rotorcraft uses differential thrust between wing mounted propellers to provide counter torque when the rotor is being powered by a power source.  The rotorcraft is comprised of s fuselage to which fixed wings are attached. A  rotor is attached on an upper side of the fuselage and provides lift at low speeds while the wings provide a majority of the lift at high speeds. When at high speeds the rotor may be slowed to reduce advancing tip speed and retreating blade stall. Forward thrust and counter torque is provided by propellers mounted on either side of the fuselage or even on the wings.

Patent CA-2379935-A1 (CA)
Title: Linear accelerator with variable energy inputs
Inventor: BATES TERENCE
IPC: A61N5/10
Filed: 2000-08-03
Abstract: An accelerator comprises a plurality of accelerating cells arranged to convey a beam, adjacent cells being linked by a coupling cell, the coupling cells being arranged to dictate the ratio of electric field in the respective adjacent accelerating cells, at least one coupling cell being switchable between a positive ratio and a negative ratio. Such an accelerator in effect inserts a phase change into the E field by imposing a negative ratio, meaning that the beam will meet a reversed electric field in subsequent cells and will in fact be decelerated. As a result, the beam can be developed and bunched in early cells while accelerating to and/or at relativistic energies, and then bled of energy in later cells to bring the beam energy down to (say) between 100 and 300 KeV.  Energies of this magnitude are comparable to diagnostic X-rays, where much higher contrast of bony structures exists. Hence the accelerator can be used to take kilovoltage portal images. A suitable structure for the switchable coupling cell comprises a cavity containing a conductive element rotatable about an axis transverse to the beam axis, as for example set out in our earlier application PCT/GB99/00187. The application also relates to the use of such an accelerator and an operating method for such an accelerator.

Title: A function updatable device and an options card therefor
Inventor: WILLIE MARK
IPC: G06F21/12
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: A device such as for example an elec-tronic medical device (2) has a memory (6b) that has prestored therein a number of programs or routines for performing various functions. Some of those functions are optional functions that were not enabled when the equipment was put into service. If the user of the equip-ment desires thereafter to activate any one of those op-tional functions, an options card (20) that has a number of memory blocks (20a-20n) each specifically config-ured to enable one of the prestored optional functions is sent to the user. The user can then insert the options card (20) into a receptacle (16) integrated into the de-vice and, upon power up of the device, elect a menu (24) for enabling the desired optional function(s) prestored in the device. The options card (20) may be configured to have a count number that indicates the number of de-vices the card may be used to enable or diseable mul-tiple optional functions prestored in the device. When returned to the manufactorer, given that the serial num-bers of the machines to which the options card (20) was inserted are recorded therein, the manufacturer can eas-ily keep tab of the status of those machines in the field that had had optional functions enabled/disabled.

Patent CA-2382653-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DICKIE GREGOR
IPC: G06T1/60
Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: Network configuration data is automatically written to data structures in a networked image data processing environment. The environment includes several image processing systems (101-108) in which each image processing system has direct access to a respective frame storage device (111-118). Each image processing system includes a local configuration file specifying details of its locally connected storage device in combination with a network configuration data structure. A network (121) allows each image processing system to indirectly access the frame storage devices of other connected image processing systems. An image processing system transmits details of system configuration data to other networked processing systems. Furthermore, configuration data received from other networked image processing systems is added to local configuration data. Thus, when network configurations are changed, each system will identify its local condition, transmit this information to other systems and receive information from the other systems.
