Patent EP-1315095-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MAGEE DAVID PATRICK
IPC: G06F17/14
Filed: 2002-10-17
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing signal processing on communication
data utilizing scale reduced Fast Fourier Transform computations. The present invention
provides scaling in a Fast Fourier Transform computation at stages where it is determined
that bit growth is present and omits scaling at stages where it is determined that bit
growth is absent. The determination is based on the characteristics of the input signal.
The determination can be made off-line by modeling and/or simulation or in real-time by
analyzing the input signal to determine stages at which bit growth is present and/or absent
and setting the stage scaling accordingly.

Inventor: NEUBERGER WOLFGANG DR
IPC: C03C25/00
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: The present invention provides for an apparatus and method to manufacture
optical fiber in a way that produces controlled and patterned diffusion of optical
radiation along its length. The novelty of the described invention is that the patterns
of diffusion are produced at the time the optical fiber is manufactured. The "in-line"
manufacturing method avoids the need for post-production treatment of the fiber,
which makes the process highly efficient and economical. Light diffusing optical
fibers of significant length can be produced. Several manufacturing configurations to
achieve the desired effects and their inclusion in the fiber production process are
described. The processes can be configured to process optical fibers constructed from
a wide variety of known glass, polymeric or other materials. The partially diffusing
optical fibers of this invention have applications ranging from illuminated fabrics and
toys and to lighting systems and medical instruments. A distributed sensor comprising
a light detector coupled to a partially diffusing fiber is also disclosed.

Abstract: In a lift (L) for mooring a boat (B) stern-on, a pair of horizontally spaced guide
members (19,21) is fixed to the sea wall (S). A frame (23) is fixed to a pair of substantially parallel
hydro-pneumatic buoyancy tanks (11,13) to provide a flotation platform for supporting the
hull of the boat (B). The stern end of each of the tanks (11,13) is connected to the guide
members (19,21). The guide members (19,21) limit movement of the lift (L) away from the sea
wall (S) and along the sea wall (S) but permit vertical reciprocation of the stern ends of the
buoyancy tanks (19,21) in unison and restrict the lift (L) from listing during operation.

Abstract: A method of validating an e-ticket includes the step of sending the e-ticket
from an initial receiving server  S i    to a plurality of servers including  S i .  Each
server returns an answer indicative of whether that server previously answered
an inquiry for the e-ticket. A conflict mode of validation is selected if at least one
selected server of a majority of servers answered a previous inquiry for the e-ticket.
A conflict-free mode of validation is selected if none of the majority of
servers has answered any previous inquiry for the e-ticket.

hard coating having a thickness in the range of from 1 µm to 5 µm, formed of a
TiAIN material, and having a Ti/Al ratio of 1. Particularly, coarse grains present in
the hard coating of this cutting tool and having a size not less than coating thickness
occupy an area percentage not greater than 5% by area; and the hard coating has a
surface roughness Ra of not greater than 0.1 µm and a surface roughness Rz of not
greater than 1 µm.

Abstract: The accuracy of a data storage device is improved by
incorporating a number of multipurpose reference bytes
throughout the data. The reference bytes are used to
coordinate the timing and accuracy of data when
retrieved from the media. Additionally, the reference
bytes provide meaningful error correction information
in a manner that is easily implemented. This use of
reference bytes supplements many well known error
correction methodologies to provide for the accurate
retrieval of information to the user. In order to
coordinate the use of reference bytes, unique
operations are undertaken using a predefined preamble
to appropriately set the operating parameters of the
storage device. For example, both the preamble and the
reference bytes are used to carefully control the most
optimum gain and phase control for the data storage
device.

Title: Multiple-stage game of chance and method of and system for playing the game
Inventor: TAYLOR ALAN
IPC: A63F3/06
Filed: 2002-02-21
Abstract: A game of chance for a plurality of game participants that is played in a plurality of drawing stages and a method and system for playing the game are disclosed. Game participants self-select or have selected automatically for them a plurality of playing numbers from a population of numbers that are arranged on a game ticket (100) in a number of columns and/or rows, which are grouped in a plurality of discrete blocks (200, 300). A selection device randomly selects a plurality of winning numbers from the same population in two or more stages. Game participants can win a prize during or at the completion of each drawing stage if all of their playing numbers in designated rows and/or columns match the winning numbers selected in that drawing stage. Thus, game participants can win some prize for matching fewer than all of the winning numbers selected. Moreover, a plurality of winning combinations is possible on each game ticket, producing a plurality of ways to win on a single ticket (100). The game is played online to facilitate determining the number of winning game tickets and the number of winning combinations per winning game ticket; determining the prize payout amount; and authenticating winning game tickets.

Abstract: Les structures et procédés utilisés pour produire les structures de l'invention permettent l'utilisation à grande échelle et efficace des déchets de blocs pour la fabrication de lamelles (91, 171, 205, 255). Les techniques employées permettent d'atteindre simultanément deux objectifs: en assemblant les déchets de blocs en blocs de longueur utilisable, et en débitant les blocs reconstitués en lamelles (91, 171, 205, 255) de différentes tailles. Le raccord entre blocs s'obtient par pénétration en profondeur d'entures multiples qui lorsque le matériau est découpé en lamelles (91, 171, 205, 255) reste un joint à entures multiples mince. De tels joints ont de plus l'avantage de 'rompre' statistiquement les possibles différences de grain pouvant sinon créer un gauchissement, tout en permettant d'obtenir des lamelles (91, 171, 205, 255) de grande longueur par assemblage de déchets courts. On peut appliquer aux lamelles une couche de couverture par enrobage ou insertion sur laquelle on peut appliquer une laque résistant à l'UV, esthétique et prolongeant la vie de la persienne.

Abstract: Synchronous and asynchronous data traffic over multipoint ad-hoc telecommunication networks is scheduled in frames, and bandwidth in such networks is allocated based on packet type and traffic type by a scheduler that points to frame descriptors, or data structures, that define where data is located, what packet type to use for the transmission, etc. The scheduling of reception is implicit, viz., there is always a transmit/receive descriptor pair. The same scheduler can schedule traffic in interconnected networks in which there is a participant, even if the networks are unsynchronized to one another, and the scheduler can schedule connection-setup actions, such as page and inquiry. The scheduler can also schedule non-actions, or inactivity, such as "no operation" and "sleep".
