Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de retenue d'un ressort de torsion pour piège à mâchoire. Ces ressorts comprennent deux branches distinctes qui se rejoignen t en un point de jonction et qui ont chacune une extrémité. Ces branches peuvent se déplac er entre une position ouverte, où les extrémités respectives des branches sont écartées l'une de l'autre, et une position fermée, où elles sont rapprochées l'une de l'autre. Ce dispositif comprend un crochet de retenue monté de manière pivotante par au moins une attache su r l'une des branches du ressort pour maintenir ce dernier en position fermée ainsi qu'un moyen pour éviter le déplacement dudit crochet sous l'effet de la gravité. Un tel dispositif est particulièrement utile comme système de sécurité d'un piège à mâchoire car i l permet d'ouvrir les mâchoires du piège avec un minimum de mouvement et sans que les mains soient nécessairement utilisées ce qui représente un grand avantage dans le cas où un être humain se fait accidentellement piéger les mains par le piège.

Granted: 2005-05-24
Abstract: In an audio/video transmission system, a method of forming program guide information conducive to selective display at respective receivers includes arranging program guide information in different data blocks according to types of guide information. One such data block contains channel information (CSSMi) describing the respective channels. Respective CSSMi in this block include a channel information customer service system byte (CI-CSS) which contains conditional access information related to a channel associated with a CSSMi. In a receiver embodiment, a subscriber specific byte (CA-CSS) is stored (14) and accessible to program guide processing apparatus (8). Prior to displaying received program guide information for a particular channel, the subscriber byte CA-CSS is compared (17, 22) with the channel information byte CI-CSS in the program guide. Dependent upon the results of the comparison, the guide data for that particular channel is either displayed (19) or not displayed in the program guide.

Title: Systeme de communications client/serveur
Inventor: FRAENKEL MICHAEL LEVI
IPC: H04L/
Filed: 1996-07-11
Granted: 2004-12-14
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé, un appareil et un progiciel permettant d'accroître le rendement d'un système client/serveur mettant en oeuvre une application client résidant dans un premier ordinateur et communiquant avec une application serveur résidant dans un second ordinateur, éloigné du premier ordinateur. Pour les communications entre le client et le serveur, l'application client et l'application serveur utilisent un protocole de communications client/serveur indépendant, un segment au moins des communications entre l'application client résidant dans le premier ordinateur, et l'application serveur résidant dans le second ordinateur utilisant une liaison externe de télécommunications. Le procédé, l'appareil et le progiciel interceptent les communications respectant le protocole de communications client/serveur indépendant et provenant du client à distance avant émission des communications sur la liaison de télécommunications externe, puis convertissent la communication provenant du client en un second protocole de communication client/serveur spécifique. La communication convertie est émise via la liaison de télécommunications externe et prise en compte à partir de la communication émise via la liaison de télécommunications externe. La communication reçue via la liaison de télécommunications externe est convertie du protocole de communication client/serveur spécifique en protocole de communications client/serveur indépendant, et la communication provenant du client à distance est remise au serveur en respectant le protocole de communications client/serveur indépendant. Des techniques de différenciation, de gestion en antémémoire ou de réduction de protocole, permettent d'augmenter le rendement de la liaison externe de télécommunications. De telles applications, qui peuvent être un explorateur réseau et un serveur réseau, sont ainsi capables de communiquer via des liaisons radio de télécommunications.
