Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un mécanisme au moyen duquel le nombre de bits utilisés pour identifier les identificateurs de fenêtre (WID) pour chacun des tampons couleur et des tampons de recouvrement peut être programmé dans l'adaptateur graphique en fonction de l'environnement d'application couramment actif. L'appareil et le procédé de la présente invention permettent de disposer d'un dispositif de sélection de la taille et de la couleur à WAT programmable dans un RAMDAC de l'adaptateur graphique. Ce dispositif de sélection de la taille de la couleur à WAT programmable peut être programmé dynamiquement de sorte que des groupes de bits d'un identificateur WID issu d'un tampon de WID puissent être utilisés pour obtenir différents indexes pointant dans une table WAT de couleur et une table WAT de recouvrement. De cette manière, différents groupes appartenant, par exemple, à un identificateur WID à 8 bits peuvent être obtenus en fonction du paramétrage du dispositif de sélection de la taille et de la couleur à WAT programmable de sorte que diverses possibilités de couleur et de recouvrement peuvent être obtenues dynamiquement.

Title: Access terminal identification management
Inventor: BENDER PAUL E
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2004-11-24
Granted: 2010-11-16
Abstract: Access terminal identification management providing a minimum distance between subnets before reusing subnet identifiers. Mobility criteria evaluation determines when to reassign an access terminal identifier. In one embodiment, the mobility criteria is whether any member of the active set for the access terminal belongs to an originating subnet. In an alternate embodiment, the criteria is whether the access terminal has traveled more than a minimum distance from the originating subnet. When a mobility criteria is violated, the access network assigns a new identifier. In one embodiment, the access terminal identifier is a long code mask based on a subnet identifier.  Identifier management applies when crossing sector boundaries in a cellular system, and serves to reduce the ambiguity of mapping CC values to full UATI  values, and to avoid overlapping assignments.

Title: A method and apparatus for performing minimally invasive cardiac procedures
Inventor: WANG YULUN
IPC: A61B17/06
Filed: 1997-02-19
Granted: 2011-11-15
Abstract: A system for performing minimally invasive cardiac procedures. The system includes a pair of surgical instruments that are coupled to a pair of robotic arms. The instruments have end effectors that can be manipulated to hold and suture tissue. The robotic arms are coupled to a pair of master handles by a controller. The handles can be moved by the surgeon to produce a corresponding movement of the end effectors. The movement of the handles is scaled so that the end effectors have a corresponding movement that is different, typically smaller, than the movement performed by the hands of the surgeon. The scale factor is adjustable so that the surgeon can control the resolution of the end effector movement. The movement of the end effector can be controlled by an input button, so that the end effector only moves when the button is depressed by the surgeon. The input button allows the surgeon to adjust the position of the handles without moving the end effector, so that the handles can be moved to a more comfortable position. The system may also have a robotically controlled endoscope which allows the surgeon to remotely view the surgical site. A cardiac procedure can be performed by making small incisions in the patient's skin and inserting the instruments and endoscope into the patient. The surgeon manipulates the handles and moves the end effectors to perform a cardiac procedure such as a coronary artery bypass graft.

Title: Preventing network reset denial of service attacks using embedded authentication information
Inventor: RAMAIAH ANANTHA
IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2005-05-03
Granted: 2011-08-23
Abstract: Approaches for preventing TCP RST attacks intended to cause denial of service in packet-switched networks are disclosed. In one approach, upon receiving a TCP RST packet, an endpoint node determines whether the TCP segment contains valid authentication information. The TCP RST segment is accepted and the TCP  connection is closed only when the authentication information is valid.  Authentication information may comprise a reset type values, and either initial sequence numbers of both endpoints, or a copy of a TCP header and options values previously sent by the endpoint node that is performing the authentication. Thus, attacks are thwarted because an attacker cannot know or reasonably guess the required authentication information.
