Patent CA-2418979-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARSHALL BRIAN P
IPC: F02N11/08
Filed: 2001-07-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de commande d'inhibition de démarrage pour un démarreur électrique (10) d'un moteur à combustion interne (12). La vitesse de rotation du moteur est développée à partir du signal produit par un capteur de position (64) de l'arbre à cames, lequel capteur commande la logique du système. Réactive aux variations de vitesse de rotation du moteur entraînant une diminution de la vitesse du moteur en dessous du ralenti, cette logique de commande (108) produit un signal inhibiteur de démarrage temporaire. Lorsque la vitesse du moteur a suffisamment diminué pour indiquer clairement que le démarrage est terminé, une horloge (130, 132, 134), qui réinitialise le signal inhibiteur pour permettre le démarrage après une temporisation appropriée, est déclenchée.

Title: Peer-to-peer name resolution protocol (pnrp) security infrastructure and method
Inventor: MILLER JOHN L
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2003-04-01
Abstract: A security infrastructure and methods are presented that inhibit the ability of a malicious node from disrupting the normal operations of a peer-to-peer network. The methods of the invention allow both secure and insecure identities to be use d by nodes by making them self verifying. When necessary or opportunistic, ID ownership is validated by piggybacking the validation on existing messages. The probability of connecting initially to a malicious node is reduced by randomly selecting to which node to connect. Further, information from malicious nodes is identified and can be disregarded by maintaining information about prior communications that will require a future response. Denial of service attacks are inhibited by allowing the node to disregard requests when its resource utilization exceeds a predetermined limit. The ability for a malicious node to remove a valid node is reduced by requiring that revocation certificates be signed by the node to b e removed.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un béton bitumineux ou un matériau de revêtement (10), contenant d'environ 5 pour cent ou plus à environ 20 pour cent de plastique granulaire recyclé activé (22), qui complète ou remplace l'agrégat rocheux (21) dans le mélange. Le plastique source (31) peut comprendre des classes résiduelles mélangées de plastique recyclable, y compris de matières plastiques thermodurcissables et d'autres matières plastiques d'utilité générale faible à nulle. Le matériau de revêtement (10) permet d'obtenir des plates-formes (12) plus résistantes et à durabilité plus grande, nécessitant une épaisseur totale d'asphalte moindre et permettant d'obtenir une plus grande imperméabilité à l'eau. Le composant plastique recyclé (31) du matériau est un mélange de toutes les classes recyclables 3 à 7, ou de matériaux de ces classes restant après retrait sélectif des matériaux recyclables qui peuvent être les mieux valorisés. Le matériau de revêtement (10) est de préférence obtenu selon un procédé de broyage ou de granulation mécanique de déchets industriels de matières plastiques permettant d'obtenir des granulés de dimension n?o¿.4 à 1/2 pouce, et de 1/4 pouce à 3/8 pouces de granulés. Le plastique peut être refroidi au cours du processus de granulation. Ces granulés sont ensuite traités à l'aide d'un milieu d'activation excité, un plasma formé de préférence dans de l'argon ou dans un autre gaz favorisant le plasma (93), de manière à activer la surface des granulés, sans brûler ou faire fondre le plastique. Du gaz dépourvu d'humidité, provenant d'un déshumidificateur (79) ou d'une autre source, remplit les vides dans la masse de particule amenée dans une trémie d'alimentation (82) ou encore en haut d'une colonne de plasma verticale (81), l'argon s'écoulant vers le haut. Une chemise en plastique remplaçable (98) protège les parois de la colonne des dépôts. Des explosions de gaz empêchent l'accumulation des particules dans la colonne. Les granulés traités activés sont ajoutés à l'agrégat puis mélangés avec le liant hydrocarboné pour permettre l'obtention du matériau de revêtement. Un mélange de plastique avec une suspension épaisse ou des sables et une couche de liaison peut également être appliqué sur une couche d'agrégat, sur une couche de base ou sur une plate-forme.

Title: A process and system for sequentially embossing a card
Inventor: ASHLEY KEITH R
IPC: G07F7/08
Filed: 1997-03-07
Abstract: A process for embossing a card with characters by rotating an embosser to a series of positions where characters are aligned with card positions to be embossed. The character set is sorted to form a first set containing characters in increasing distance between a reference position of the embosser and a position of each character of the first set relative to the reference position. The first set is sorted to form a second set in which the characters increase in distance measured relative to the reference position from a distance of the first character in the second set to a distance of the last character in the second set with some of the successive characters from the first character to the last character in the second set not being located farther from the reference position than an immediately preceding character of the second set. The second set is embossed from the first character of the second set to the last character of the second set by coordinated motion of the embosser and rectilinear motion of a card carriage to sequentially position the embosser and card at selected positions.

The interactive application is configured to provide added content to a televisi on viewer upon a request by the viewer. In order to request the display of the available added content, a viewer may provide an indication that the use of a script is desired. Subsequently, a script corresponding to the interactive application is utilized to provide input to the interactive application in lieu of the viewer actively providing the input necessary to display the add ed content. In addition, a viewer may configure the receiver to indicate defaul t preferences for the use of scripts. The receiver may then utilize a standardized script to provide input to interactive applications having adde d content available for viewing. Further, a corresponding program, interactive application, added content, and script may be received and stored on a mass storage device. Subsequently, the stored material may be retrieved for displ ay and execution.

Title: System and method for fast dynamic link adaptation

IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2002-10-18
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for enabling efficient reduction of TFCs in the TFCS to achieve desired transmission, while remaining within desired power and data requirements. Upon the UE transmission power requirement exceeding the maximum or allowable transmission power the MAC  shall be informed for subsequent TFC selection of all TFCs that currently exceed .this limit. The UE will then chose the TFC with the next lower transmission power requirement and the sequence will continue until an acceptable TFC is determined. The present invention also enables the replacement of the TFCs in the TFCS and advanced determination of non-supported TFCs. The TFCs that require transmission power greater then the maximum or allowed UE transmission power shall be determined continuously in every TTI, not just in TTIs where the maximum power has been exceeded.
