Title: Transport protocol reconstruction and timer synchronization for non-intrusive capturing and analysing of packets on a high-speed distributed network
Inventor: KHIRMAN STANISLAV
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-04-23
Abstract: A transport protocol data flow reconstruction method delays determination that a missing packet is lost for a period of time. For an evaluated TCP packet in a first direction (410), the method determines if a TCP packet is missing in a second direction(412), in which case the method stores the evaluated TCP packet in a list and creates an acknowledgement timer indicating a maximum time to wait until treating the missing TCP packet as lost. Expiration of the acknowledgment timer indicates a missing packet in the second direction. The method determines if a TCP packet is missing in the first direction, in which case the method stores the evaluated TCP packet in the list and creates a retransmission timer indicating a maximum time to wait until treating the missing TCP packet as lost. Expiration of the retransmission timer indicates a missing packet in the first direction. Also disclosed is a method of estimating the discrepancy between the timers in the first and second capturing devices (fig.11, not shown).

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for controlling access to stored personal data of a user. A user indicates which portions of personal data of the user stored in a personal data repository are releasable to a second party. The user and the second party reach an agreement regarding use, by the second party, of any portions of the personal data in the personal data repository. The portions of the stored personal data in the personal data repository are released to the second party according to the agreement. The agreement includes what items within the personal data repository can be used by the second party. Only those items which, according to the agreement, can be used by the second party are released to the second party. In another embodiment of the invention, a method and apparatus are provided for selectively sending information. A trusted party device receives a request to send information. A user device is selected to receive the vendor information based on a willingness to receive the vendor information indicated within the stored personal data about the user. The vendor information is sent to the selected user device. Other aspects of the invention include a machine readable medium including instructions for a processor in a device to perform the methods described above.

Title: Method for manufacturing semiconductor module
Inventor: KAWAZOE TAKEMI
IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 2003-02-19
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor module that has a built-in optical isolator comprising a Faraday rotor consisting of a magnetic garnet film that is a high coercive force film the magnetic saturation of which is maintained even without an external field. This method is characterized in that an external field is impressed on this magnetic garnet film in the same direction as its magnetization direction while the magnetic garnet film is subject to a temperature of 100{C or more in a step during the manufacturing process. This manufacturing method has an advantage that the magnetic saturation of the magnetic garnet film that is a high coercive force film is not destroyed even if the manufacturing process includes a heating step.

Title: Apparatus and method for luminance control of liquid crystal display device
Inventor: HONG HEE JUNG
IPC: G09G3/34
Filed: 2005-06-16
Abstract: A luminance control apparatus of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is presented. The LCD includes a liquid crystal display panel (102) divided into a plurality of areas, lamps (136), an arithmetic unit (122), and a lamp driver (160). Fewer lamps (136) are present than the number of areas. The arithmetic unit (122) scans pixels of each area, extracts a peak value of the gray level of pixels of the area, and calculates a maximum peak brightness value and an average value of the area. The lamp driver (160) controls the brightness of the lamps (136) in accordance with the average value and the maximum peak brightness value. The brightness of individual areas can be controlled such that the brightness of a lamp in an area where the image is bright is increased and the brightness of a lamp in an area where the image is dark is decreased.

Title: High frequency sound teenager dispersal device
Inventor: STAPLETON HOWARD
IPC: A01M29/16
Filed: 2006-02-06
Abstract: A sound emitting device 10 generates sound waves using an oscillator 20 at a frequency that is detectable by one or more subgroups within a group of individuals, amplifies 30 this signal and emits it through a speaker 40. The device may use more than one oscillator operating at different frequencies and these may be combined in a mixer (50, figure 2) to provide a beat component in the emitted sound. A frequency above the perceptible range of most adults but audible to young people may be used, for example the frequency may be in the region of 16.5kHz. The beat frequency may be in the range of 1-10Hz. The device may emit sound over a limited angle, for example 50{-70{, allowing the signal to be directed to a particular area. The high pitched sound should be unpleasant to youths but outside the perceptible range of adults and is therefore expected to discourage the congregation of groups of teenagers near the device.
