Patent CA-2577238-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BERUBE YVES
IPC: F16K1/20
Filed: 2005-08-11
Abstract: Régulateur de débit sortant pour écoulement de liquide alimenté par gravité d~un réservoir de liquide comportant une plaque de restriction pouvant être montée dans l~écoulement de liquide afin de limiter le débit d~un effluent. La plaque de restriction autorise un passage inférieur pour l~effluent quand un premier niveau de liquide est atteint à l~intérieur du réservoir de liquide, et un passage supérieur pour l~effluent quand un second niveau de liquide est atteint. Le régulateur comporte aussi un clapet pouvant pivoter entre une position fermée où le clapet couvre le passage inférieur du dispositif de restriction et une position ouverte éloignée de la plaque de restriction. Quand le clapet est à la position fermée, l~effluent s~écoule librement par le passage supérieur. Un contrepoids à flotteur fait basculer le clapet entre la position ouverte et la position fermée en fonction du niveau de liquide dans le réservoir.

Abstract: Reduction in the blockiness of a simulated film grain block can be achieved either by the use of adaptive downscaling or adaptive deblocking filtering to adjust the intensity of the pixels at the block edge in accordance with at least one film grain block parameter, such as film grain size, intensity and texture. Performing such adaptive downscaling or adaptive deblocking filtering achieves improved performance at lower computational cost by avoiding modification of film grain block pixels in lesser affected areas.

Title: Parallel turbo decoders with multiplexed output
Inventor: KHAN SAFI ULLAH
IPC: H03M13/29
Filed: 2006-03-13
Abstract: A system and method are provided for parallel path turbo decoding in a portable wireless communications user terminal (UT). The method accepts a coded stream having a first order of information packets, and demultiplexes the coded stream into first coded and second coded information streams. The first coded stream is turbo decoded, generating a first decoded information stream. Likewise, the second coded stream is decoded to generate a second decoded information stream, asynchronously with respect to the first decoded stream. Then, the first and second decoded streams are combined into a combined stream having the first order of decoded information packets. The first and second decoded streams are combined by parallel buffering the first and second decoded streams, generating parallel-buffered decoded streams. Then, the parallel-buffered decoded streams are multiplexed to create a combined stream, which is stored in an output buffer.

Abstract: The invention provides an ITSO-based smartcard system including a programmable smartcard device for use in the ITSO scheme carrying a file system and operating software enabling the on-device file system to interface with at least one off-device ITSO application. At the interface, the off-device ITSO  application is permitted to access and/or modify data in the on-device file system. The programmable smartcard device comprises monitoring means operable to monitor the sequence of operations carried out by the off-line application in accessing and/or modifying data in the on-device files and to restrict or prevent further access or modifications to such data if that sequence of operations does not meet predetermined criteria. Preferably, the monitoring means includes a state engine capable of being set to one of a plurality of states, at least one of which is an error state, in which further modification to the data in some or all of the on-device files is prevented until the sequence of operations is restarted. The system may also be such that inter-engagement of the smartcard device with the interface device causes the interface device to generate a session key used in the encryption/decryption of data and/or commands during a sequence of operations carried out to access and/or modify data carried by the programmable smartcard device. Preferably, completion of a sequence of operations to modify data on the programmable smartcard device causes the interface device to open a new session and to generate a second session key and to use that second session key to verify that the required data has been modified in accordance with the intended sequence of operations. The invention is thsu capable of providing an ITSO  based system with better protection against fraud.

Abstract: A collapsible free-standing frame structure includes N bowable resilient legs, where N is an integer greater than one, a multi-hinge, and a leg restraint.  The multi-hinge includes a hinge body and N leg interconnectors for interconnecting the legs to the hinge body. The leg interconnectors are pivotally mounted to the hinge body for limited pivotal motion between closed positions, in which the interconnected legs are clustered around a central axis which extends through the hinge body, and open positions, in which the interconnected legs extend radially relative to the central axis. A pivot stop prevents the leg interconnectors from pivoting beyond the open positions. To erect the frame structure, the leg interconnectors are pivoted to their open positions, the interconnected legs are bowed against the pivot stop, and the distal ends of the bowed legs are attached to a leg restraint which maintains the legs in the bowed position.

Title: Certified memory-to-memory data transfer between active-active raid controllers
Inventor: VEDDER REX WELDON
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 2006-06-20
Abstract: A system for performing an efficient mirrored posted-write operation having first and second RAID controllers in communication via a PCI-Express link is disclosed. The first bus bridge transmits a PCI-Express memory write request TLP to the second bus bridge. The TLP header includes an indication of whether the first CPU requests a certification that certifies the payload data has been written to the second write cache memory. If the indication requests the certification, the second bus bridge automatically transmits the certification to the first bus bridge independent of the second CPU, after writing the payload data to the second write cache memory. The first bus bridge generates an interrupt to the first CPU in response to receiving the certification. The certified transfer may be used to validate and/or invalidate mirrored copies of a write cache directory on the RAID controllers, among other uses.
