Title: Prefix caching for media objects
Inventor: MENON SATISH N
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2002-01-29
Abstract: A method, system, and computer program and computer program product including a computer program in the form of a computer program stored on a computer readable medium for delivering media object to a user over a computer network.  Media object is divided into first portions and remaining portions, and the first portions are stored on edge server computers in communication with client computers. Upon receiving a request for delivery from a user, the edge server computer transmits the first portion of the media object to the client computer. The edge server computer then requests delivery of the remaining portion of the media object from the origin server computer. Upon receipt of the remaining portion of the media object from the origin server computer, the edge server computer transmits the remaining portion of the media object to the user such that delivery of both portions of the media object to the client computer is continuous and uninterrupted.

Inventor: NEWBOULD RICHARD ERIC
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2002-03-05
Abstract: Method of and apparatus for two-party data non-repudiation. For applications which have a (near) real-time operation, the slowness engendered by the straightforward cryptographic signing of messages may well be intolerable.

Filed: 2001-09-13
Abstract: The invention disclosed herein provides a system and method for diagnosing lower urinary system conditions by receiving urodynamic data and subjective symptomatic impressions concerning a patient. The system and method then assigns weighted point values to the urodynamic data, for example, urethal pressure profiles due to sphincter contraction conditions such as urgency (2 ) and stress incontinence (4), and the subjective symptomatic impressions, quantifies norms for lower urinary system function, as a whole or in part, a nd quantifies recognized pathologies of lower urinary system conditions as degrees of departure from the norms. The system and method then determines a lower urinary system condition diagnosis of the patient, as a function of th e degrees of departure from the norms, by invoking a set of rules to compare t he weighted point values assigned and the quantified norms. The invention then reports the lower urinary system condition diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or further diagnostic suggestions.

Title: Method and apparatus for gaming device software configuration
Inventor: BRECKNER ROBERT
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2002-06-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for packaging, distributing, installing, deleting, or updating gaming software is disclosed. In one embodiment the method and apparatus of the invention identifies a plurality of files, which may exceed hundreds of files, to be distributed, installed, or provided as updates. The plurality of files are selected and processed into a reduced number of files, often a single file (406). The single file contains all of the plurality of files and is capable of being further processed to restore the plurality of files and the directory structure of the plurality of files. This provides the advantage of having to only perform distribution, tracking, or other related functions on a single file instead of up to hundreds of files at a time.  Similar advantages are gained when updating software on a machine because the entire set of software files to be updated may be packaged into a single file and subsequently deleted. Thereafter, a single file may be copied on to the machine (410) and processed to restore files and directory structure of the updated software.
