Title: Methods and apparatus for encapsulating a frame for transmission in a storage area network
Inventor: DUTT DINESH GANAPATHY
IPC: H04L12/44
Filed: 2002-12-23
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for encapsulating a packet or frame for transmission in a storage area network are disclosed. A packet or frame compatible with a standard protocol employed in the storage area network is received or generated. The packet or frame is then encapsulated with a virtual storage area network identifier. The packet or frame may further be encapsulated with at least one of a TTL value, MPLS information, and a type of traffic to be carried by the packet or frame. For instance, the type of traffic to be carried by the packet or frame may include Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and Infiniband. Once encapsulated, the encapsulated packet or frame is sent over the storage area network. For instance, the encapsulated packet or frame may be generated as well as transmitted by a switch over an inter-switch link in the storage area network.

Title: Systeme et methode permettant la recuperation en vrac de certificats
Inventor: ADAMS NEIL P
IPC: G06F16/93
Filed: 2004-08-09
Abstract: Système et méthode de recherche et d'obtention de certificats, qui peuvent être utilisés dans le traitement de messages codés. Dans une réalisation de l'invention, une application de synchronisation des certificats est programmée pour exécuter la recherche de certificats en interrogeant un ou plusieurs serveurs de certificats pour obtenir tous les certificats desdits serveurs. S'il n'est pas possible d'obtenir tous les certificats d'un serveur en une seule interrogation de recherche en raison par exemple, du dépassement du quota de recherche sur un serveur de certificats, la recherche est exécutée de nouveau par plusieurs interrogations, chacune correspondant à une sous-recherche plus étroite. L'invention permet la recherche et l'obtention automatique de grandes quantités de certificats de serveurs de certificats, ce qui minimise ainsi la nécessité pour les utilisateurs de procéder à une recherche manuelle de certificats individuels.

Abstract: An L-band EDFA may have three amplifier stages. In the first stage, a high power 980nm laser is used to generate C-band ASE noise which is used to pump the erbium doped fibre of the second stage. The second stage fibre is arrang ed as a plug-in module which connects between a first stage isolator and a mid- stage loss between the second and third stages. The desired gain of the amplifier is obtained by selecting a plug-in module with a length of fibre that will give the desired amplifier output power for a given imput power.</ SDOAB>

Inventor: TOWNSEND CHAD
IPC: B63H16/04
Filed: 2004-09-08
Abstract: A paddle blade that is actuatable with respect to a paddle shaft between a deployed state and a folded state. In use, during the power stroke of a paddling action, the action of the water on the blade causes the blade to adopt the deployed state in which the blade performs in a manner similar to a conventional paddle blade. During the recovery stroke, the action of the water, or other medium, causes the blade to adopt the folded state thereby reducing the drag or resistance of the blade. Hence, the recovery stroke may be performed without removing the blade from the water.

Title: Particles from supercritical fluid extraction of emulsion
Inventor: HUFF ROBERT W
IPC: B01D11/04
Filed: 2003-06-20
Abstract: A method of producing microparticles and nanoparticles of a solute via the extraction of solvent, having the solute dissolved therein, from an emulsion from source (114) using a supercritical fluid form source (112). The solute to be precipitated is dissolved in the solvent to form a solution, and the solution is dispersed in an immiscible or partially miscible liquid to form an emulsion at source (114). The particles are produced via the extraction of the solvent from the emulsion using the supercritical fluid in vessel (110). The process can produce an aqueous suspension of particles that are substantially insoluble in water, and the solvents used in the process to form the emulsion initially can be recovered and recycled from vessel ports (120) and (122).

Filed: 2003-05-13
Abstract: A system and method to optimize the number of uplink and downlink slots (12, 16), given the maximum number of crossed slots between any two cells (10, 14) is disclosed. The present invention effectively assigns a direction (i.e.  uplink or downlink) to every slot (12, 16) in every cell (10, 14) of the system, taking into account the trade-off between: a) avoiding base-to-base or mobile-to-mobile interference; and b) matching the slot assignment of every cell as closely as possible to the local traffic conditions. The present invention assigns users to slots (12, 16) according to their transmission power requirements in order to allow conflicting slot-to-cell assignments between two cells (10, 14) in the same geographic region.

Inventor: MORA ALFONSO A
IPC: B05C1/08
Filed: 2004-11-25
Abstract: The present invention obviates the use of a vacuum while providing reliable release of thin coated sheets from roller coating machines. Reliable release of a coated sheet is achieved by using dual sets of air nozzles, one set producing a constant flow of a sheet of air and the other producing a short pulse of a sheet of air at an appropriate time in the travel of the front edge of the sheet through the rollers. An optical sensor is employed to provide the properly timed signal to initiate the pulsed air blast. The respective sets of nozzles are configured to position the nozzles in two rows, one above the other, with offset or alternating horizontal positioning so that nozzles of one set do not interfere with nozzles of the other set. Each set of nozzles is connected to a common plenum or air bar extending in parallel relation to the rollers. Each such plenum or air bar is connected to an air pressure source by suitable regulators, filters, solenoids, valves, hoses and connectors.

Title: Radiotelephone system for groups of remote subscribers
Inventor: VESSAL DAVID
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 1994-07-21
Abstract: A power-conserving time division multiple access (TDMA) radiotelephone system is disclosed in which a cluster of subscriber stations, remote from a base station, employs a common pool of frequency-agile modems each of which digitally synthesizes, on a time slot-by-time slot basis, the different channel- identifying intermediate needed to support communications between several of the subscriber stations and the base station. Power conservation is facilitated inter alia by controlling the assignment of modems to calls, maintaining unassigned modems in a powered-down state and by controlling the number of calls using the same time slot. Delay in assigning a powered-down modem to a call is eliminated by making available to all modems the highest quality synchronization information obtained by any of the active modems.
