Granted: 2011-08-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to virulent (lytic) Listeria monocytogenes phage from the Myoviridae family, preferably P100, alone or in combination with other virulent phages. P100 and the endolysin from P100 can be administered to food products, to the components that will be added to food products, and/or to the infrastructure of the food processing plants within which such food products are processed, or the containers or wraps in which such foods are stored and/or shipped, in order to reduce Listeria monocytogenes contamination. P100 can also be used in the present invention to identify Listeria monocytogenes bacteria present on (or within) foodstuffs, as well as those Listeria monocytogenes bacteria present in the equipment or the general environment of the food processing plants in which the foodstuffs are being processed and in animals infected with Listeria monocytogenes. The phage and the endolysin of the present invention can also be used to treat animals infected with Listeria monocytogenes. P100 will kill the bacteria that are within its host range with great efficiency and will propagate to high titer thereon. P100 can be combined with other lytic phage, and/or with other antimicrobial agents to reduce or eliminate Listeria.

Title: Method and system for digital image signatures
Inventor: NITZBERG MARK J
IPC: G07F7/12
Filed: 1993-07-30
Granted: 2009-09-08
Abstract: A method and system for embedding signatures within visual images in both digital representation and print or film. A signature is inseparably embedded within the visible image, the signature persisting through image transforms that include resizing as well as conversion to print or film and back to digital form. Signature points are selected from among the pixels of an original image. The pixel values of the signature points and surrounding pixels are adjusted by an amount detectable by a digital scanner. The adjusted signature points form a digital signature which is stored for future identification of subject images derived from the image. In one embodiment, a signature is embedded within an image by locating relative extreme in the continuous space of pixel values and selecting the signature points from among.the extreme. Preferably, the signature a redundantly embedded in the image such that any of the redundant representations can be used to identify the signature. Identification of a subject image includes ensuring that the subject image is normalized with respect to the original image or the signed image. Preferably, the normalized subject image is compared with the stored digital signature.

Granted: 2008-12-23
Abstract: A connector comprising an adapter (600) having a threaded bore (608) and a bushing (101) having an external thread (104) and an internal thread (102).  The adapter has a stop (605) on an outer surface to prevent rotation. The bushing is threaded into the adapter bore. A bolt (200) is threaded into a bushing bore (103) using the internal threads. As the bolt is turned the internal threads cause an interference fit between the bolt shank and the threads, temporarily preventing further insertion of the bolt. The bolt is then turned further causing the bushing to unscrew from the adapter toward the mounting surface (M) until the bushing bears upon the mounting surface. The adapter engages with part (P) thereby completely compensating for a gap between the part and a mounting surface. The adapter does not turn through engagement of the stop (65) with an immoveable part. As the bolt is turned further, the sacrificial internal threads are stripped to allow the bolt to be fully torqued into a mounting surface hole (MH).

Title: Dissimulation amelioree d'erreurs de domaine frequentiel
Inventor: TALEB ANISSE
IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 2004-12-15
Granted: 2014-01-28
Abstract: La présente invention a trait à une technique de dissimulation d'erreurs de domaine fréquentiel pour l'information qui est représentée, sur une base trame par trame, par des coefficients de codage. L'idée de base est de dissimuler un coefficient de codage erroné par l'exploitation de corrélation temporelle et fréquentielle de coefficients de codage. La technique est applicable à toute information, telle que des données audio, vidéo ou d'images, qui est comprimée dans des coefficients de codage et transmise dans des conditions de voie défavorables. La technique de dissimulation d'erreurs proposée par l'invention présente le net avantage d'exploiter la redondance temporelle et fréquentielle du signal d'information d'origine. Par exemple, cela offre la possibilité d'exploiter la redondance entre trames (inter-trames) ainsi qu'à l'intérieur des trames (intra-trames). L'utilisation de coefficients de codage à partir de la même trame que le coefficient de codage erroné est parfois désignée corrélation de coefficients intra-trames et présente un cas particulier de la corrélation fréquentielle plus générale.

Title: Vitesse de traitement de retransmission de tcp amelioree
Inventor: MAKHER-VAKS VADIM
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2004-12-06
Granted: 2010-06-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne une implémentation du contrôleur réseau (NIC) activé par l'accès direct mémoire à distance (RDMA) (RNIC) qui effectue un placement direct des données dans une mémoire, dans laquelle tous les segments d'une connexion particulière sont alignées, ou qui déplace les données à travers des tampons de réassemblage, dans lesquels tous les segments d'une connexion particulière sont non alignés. Le type de connexion qui recoupe les tampons de réassemblage, sans y accéder, est appelé connexion rapide , du fait de sa grande propension à être alignée, alors qu'un autre type est appelé connexion lente . Lorsqu'un utilisateur établit une connexion, il spécifie le type de connexion (S2). Le type de connexion peut varier de vite à lent et inversement. L'invention permet de réduire la largeur de bande de la mémoire, le temps d'attente, le recouvrement d'erreurs au moyen d'une retransmission TCP et fournit un recouvrement progressif d'une file d'attente de réception vide. L'implémentation peut également entraîner une validation CRC (S11, S6) pour une majorité de segments DDP en rapprochement dans la connexion rapide avant l'envoi d'un accusé de réception TCP (Ack) confirmant la réception du segment.

Title: Interference control via selective blanking/attenuation of interfering transmissions
Inventor: TEAGUE EDWARD HARRISON
IPC: H04W52/24
Filed: 2005-04-08
Granted: 2010-05-25
Abstract: Inter-sector interference for a target user in a sector may be controlled by selectively blanking or attenuating transmit powers for interfering users in neighboring sectors whenever their transmissions collide. The sector provides the frequency hopping (FH) sequence or subband usage for the target user to the neighboring sectors. Each neighboring sector uses the target user's FH  sequence to form a blanking pattern. Each neighboring sector then either blanks or reduces transmit power for each subband in its blanking pattern.  Each user in each neighboring sector receives either (1) punctured symbols for subbands in the blanking pattern, if blanking is performed, or (2) lower energy symbols for these subbands, if attenuation is performed. In any case, the target user and each neighboring user may process their received symbols in the normal manner and do not need to be informed of the blanking/attenuation.
