Abstract: Dispositif chirurgical de coupe et d'agrafage assurant le clampage de tissus dans l'effecteur terminal d'un canal allongé axialement opposé à une butée. Un pistolet de faisceau d'électrons maintient l'espace désiré pendant la coupe et l'agrafage de tissus en s'engageant longitudinalement dans la butée et le canal allongé. Les mécanismes distincts de fermeture et de décharge (c.-à-d. coupe et agrafage) de l'effecteur terminal permettent au clinicien de positionner et de fixer de manière sélective des tissus. L'effecteur terminal rend possible cette décharge distincte avantageuse tout en maintenant un espace par la présence d'une goupille supérieure du pistolet à l'intérieur d'une poche de butée avant la décharge. Lorsque la butée est verrouillée et fixée, la goupille supérieure du pistolet de faisceau d'électrons peut être déplacée longitudinalement et distalement de la poche de butée à une ouverture de la butée, s'engageant du même coup dans la butée.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de convoyeur qui comprend un convoyeur à voie continue destiné au transport et stockage intermédiaire de charges lourde. Ce convoyeur peut être constitué d'une chaîne d'éléments en boucle continue (8). La voie du convoyeur est constituée de plusieurs segments de transport des produits (10, 54, 34) et de segments correspondants décalés de voies de retour (26, 24). Un segment de transport de produits du convoyeur s'enroule autour de pignons moteurs (16, 18, 20, 22) dans lesquels il pénètre et devient un segment de voie de retour. A cet endroit, la voie est amenée sur des pignons en roue libre d'alignement où elle est renvoyée sous forme de segment de transport de produits. Ce segment est alors amené sur d'autres pignons moteurs (38, 40, 42) animés par un autre ensemble moteur (44) où le segment se transforme de nouveau un segment de voie de retour guidé par des pignons en roue libre puis est renvoyé sous forme de segment de transport de produit.

Title: A uniform power save method for 802.11e stations
Inventor: MEIER ROBERT C
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2004-06-18
Granted: 2010-08-10
Abstract: A power-save QSTA notifies an Access Point (AP) that its operating in a automatic power-save delivery (APSD) mode and negotiates a periodic wakeup schedule and a scheduled startup time with the AP. Wakeup times are synchronized with the 802.11 Timer Synchronization Function (TSF). The AP  automatically sends frames to the QSTA when it determines the QSTA is in an awake state, otherwise downlink frames are buffered. The AP uses a combination poll+EDCF access method wherein at the start of each wakeup period the AP  sends a poll to the QSTA, the poll having a flag that indicates to the QSTA if the AP has a downlink fame buffered for the QSTA. In addition, a Proxy ARP  Server in an AP maintains IP/MAC bindings for associated clients so that when the AP receives a proxy ARP request for a client, the AP may respond for the client.

Title: System and method for redirecting communications for a mobile device
Inventor: LAZARIDIS MIHAL
IPC: H04W8/18
Filed: 2005-12-20
Granted: 2012-01-31
Abstract: A method and system for automatically triggering call redirecting in response to a mobile device detecting its connection to a host such as a personal computer, is provided. In one embodiment, the mobile device detects connection by sensing application of a charging voltage via a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, and signaling the mobile device processor of the event. In response, the mobile device processor automatically decides to which alternative endpoint communications should be forwarded, and either instructs its transmitter to transmit a forwarding command to a network operations centre or instructs the host to transmit the command through the Internet. The network operations centre switch is operable to receive a call redirecting command respecting the mobile device from either the mobile device or the host to which the mobile device is connected, and adjusting its settings to effect call redirecting for subsequent communications for the mobile device.

Granted: 2015-01-27
Abstract: A method of identifying passive seismic events in seismic data that contains at least first seismic data traces acquired at a first seismic receiver and second seismic data traces acquired at a second receiver spatially separated from the first receiver comprises determining an overall measure of similarity for a pair of events in the seismic traces. The overall measure of similarity is indicative of similarity between the events acquired at the first seismic receiver and of similarity between the events acquired at the second seismic receiver. In one method, the overall measure of similarity is an overall cross-correlation coefficient. The overall cross-correlation coefficient is found by determining a first correlation coefficient for the pair of events from the data acquired at the first receiver and determining a second correlation coefficient for the pair of events from the data acquired at the second receiver. The overall correlation coefficient for the pair of events may be obtained from the first correlation coefficient and the second correlation coefficient by an averaging process. The overall measure of similarity may be compared with a threshold to determine whether the pair of events form a doublet. The method makes possible real-time or near-real-time identification of doublets.
