Patent CA-2302254-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MALKIN PETER KENNETH
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-09-28
Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for prefetching data for clients associated with a proxy server hierarchy and an enhanced content server data transfer to the clients. The method for prefetching data identifies data access patterns and prefetches select information based on a dynamic interpretation of the data access patterns.      The content server or proxy server identifies data access reference patterns of clients associated with the content server or the proxy server hierarchy. The data access patterns are preferably stored in a statistics table. The content server generates prefetch hint information based on inputs from the statistics table. The prefetch hint information annotates requested information or objects requested by the clients. The prefetch hint information optimally is updated as the requested information passes through the proxy server hierarchy.      The prefetch hint information annotates the requested information requested by the clients. The ultimate decision to prefetch select information for the clients is made based on the prefetch hint information and prefetch hint values. The prefetch hint value is calculated based on local node-specific factors, such as storage constraints and access time.

Abstract: A main memory (84) stores a program for enabling a plurality of control members of a manual control input device (2) to emit light in a video game. A CPU (82) executes the program stored in the main memory (84) based on control commands from the manual control input device (2). The program sends light emission data to control member groups (B1, B2, B3, B4) of the manual control input device (2) to enable the control member groups (B1, B2, B3, B4) to light successively. Since the control members of the manual control input device (2) emit continuous or flickering light, the user can enjoy the video game because of visual sensations produced by the manual control input device (2).

Patent CA-2307928-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COLBOURNE PAUL
IPC: G01J9/00
Filed: 2000-05-10
Abstract: A reference system for an optical wavelength scanner, used for measuring wavelengths of radiation from an optical device. The system utilizes a wavelength reference comprising a fixed fiber Fabry-Perôt (FFP) filter in combination with a reference fiber Bragg grating (FBG) having an accurately known reflection wavelength to minimize the effects of drift and non-linearities in the scanner and to allow a simple flexure element to be used to position a dispersive grating. The wavelengths of the reference comb of the fixed FFP are determined by reference to that of the reference FBG. Then, the peaks or notches in the light intensity from the device under test are located with respect to the comb of peaks produced by the reference. In a most simple embodiment two ports are coupled so as to provide their output light to the dispersive element simultaneously and only a single collimating lens is required for collimating light from the output ports.

Filed: 1999-02-18
Abstract: This device is an apparatus for endovascular occlusion through the formation of thrombi in arteries, veins, aneurysms, vascular malformations, and arteriovenous fistulas. In particular, the device includes multiple vasoocclusive members connected by electrolytically disintegratible links. Each link connects to the vaso-occlusive member by electrically insulative and conductive joints on opposite ends of the link. The vaso-occlusive members are delivered through a delivery catheter having on its distal end an electrode for electrical contact with the vaso-occlusive member. Upon application of an electrical current through electrode to the vaso-occlusive member and its conductive joint to electrolytically disintegratible link, the link disintegrates, selectively detaching the desired number of vaso-occlusive members into the target thrombus formation site.

Title: Projector
Inventor: KAWASHIMA MASAHIRO
IPC: H04N9/31
Filed: 1999-12-24
Abstract: A projector can be easily set up and adjusted. In accordance with a projection condition inputted into a microcomputer via a remote controller, the microcomputer selects an optimum projection lens by referring to correlation data showing a relation among a projection lens, a projection display size, and an optimum projection distance. The correlation data is stored in a projection condition preset memory. Then, the microcomputer has a screen indicate an optimum projection lens and projection distance that satisfy the inputted projection condition. A user mounts the optimum projection lens on the projector and sets up the projector so that the optimum projection distance is secured. The microcomputer calculates the amounts of zoom and focus adjustments to be made to the projection lens with reference to the correlation data so as to attain the projection display size. In accordance with the calculated amounts of zoom and focus adjustments, the microcomputer automatically drives the projection lens via a zoom driving unit and a focus driving unit.
