Title: Methods and apparatus for presenting substitute content in an audio/video stream using text data
Inventor: KUMMER DAVID A
IPC: H04N7/08
Filed: 2009-05-12
Abstract: Various embodiments of apparatus and/or methods are described for skipping, filtering and/or replacing content from an audio/video stream using text data associated with the audio/video stream. The text data is processed using location information that references a segment of the text data of the first audio/video stream to identify a location within the first audio/video stream. The location within the first audio/video stream is utilized to identify portions of the audio/video stream that are to be skipped during presentation. The portions of the audio/video stream that are to be skipped are filtered from the audio/video stream, and some of the skipped portions of the audio/video stream are replaced with substitute content. The filtered video stream, including the substitute content, is outputted for presentation to a user.
Patent CA-2666552-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BATHALA VENKATESH
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2007-09-20
Abstract: In a multi-processor system with a high degree of inter processor communication, an operating system extension is described as a kernel function to poll a receive buffer. This is an opportunistic poll that continues to run in the user context after an application process has invoked the kernel with a blocking receive function. It is also running whenever no higher priority task is running. New data packets may be received for the present user application process while avoiding context switches, and for a different user process while avoiding interrupts. A hardware implemented delay timer and a buffer fill monitor generate interrupts when the system is not polling, thus guaranteeing a maximum latency and preventing buffer overflow, but these interrupts are largely avoided by polling when the system is handling a large amount of inter processor data traffic.

Title: Process for reducing transmission collisions in a tdma slot for data links
Inventor: MONNERAT MICHEL
IPC: H04B7/212
Filed: 2009-07-29
Abstract: The method involves defining a duration parameter (D1) to define analysis duration for each slot. A value of a received data bit (20) is analyzed in the analysis duration, and the presence of emission of data from a ship (2) is determined. A signal received in an active slot is detected in case of presence of the data emission.

IPC: A61M29/00
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: A balloon (12) for use in compressing cancellous bone and marrow (also known as medullary bone or trabecular bone) against the inner cortex of bones whether the bones are fractured or not. The balloon comprises an inflatable, non-expandable balloon body for insertion into said bone. The body has a shape and size to compress at least a portion of the cancellous bone to form a cavity in the cancellous bone and to restore the original position of the outer cortical bone, if fractured or collapsed. The balloon is prevented from applying excessive pressure to the outer cortical bone. The wall or walls of the balloon are such that proper inflation of the balloon body is achieved to provide for optimum compression of all the bone marrow. The balloon is able to be folded so that it can be inserted quickly into a bone. The balloon can be made to have a suction catheter (16). It can also be coated with therapeutic substances. The main purpose of the balloon is the forming or enlarging of a cavity or passage in a bone, especially in, but not limited to, vertebral bodies. Another important purpose is to deliver therapeutic substances to bone in an improved way.

Patent CA-2703225-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IMMONEN PAULI
IPC: B63B35/32
Filed: 2008-10-30
Abstract: The three-hulled oil combatting vessel (500) according to the invention has a separating structure (100), which pushes ice blocks (J1), which move between the middle hull (SH1) and the side hulls (SH2, SH3) from the prow to the stem, underneath the water surface (WL1). Said structure (100) may for example be a grate in the longitudinal direction of the vessel (500). The density of the oil (B4) or oil refining product to be collected is smaller than that of the water, so the oil (B3), which has been separated from the ice blocks (J1) that were pushed down, tends to rise through the separating structure (100) to the water surface. The separating structure (100) thus separates the oil (B3) from the ice blocks (J1), whereby the collecting of the oil for example into a container is made significantly easier. The separated (B4) oil can thus be collected from the relatively ice-free water surface (WL1) with an oil collecting device (200), which may have for example a brush skimmer.
