Abstract: A device for preventing the accidental discharge of a bullet from a
firearm, suitable for use with blank cartridges, the device including an attachment
member adapted to engage the muzzle end of a firearm barrel, a substantially
tubular body having a cavity and coaxially attachable at one of its ends to the
barrel via the attachment member, a bullet-pierceable insert having a portion
traversing the axis of the barrel and tubular body, an impact disk slidably
disposed in the cavity of the tubular body, and an energy-absorbing and storing
unit interposed in the tubular body between the impact disk and an abutting
element, acting on the impact disk to maintain contact with the insert inside the
body, wherein, upon the discharge of a bullet, the bullet pierces the insert and hits
the impact disk, transferring some of its kinetic energy to the energy-absorbing
and storing unit and is thereby prevented from being discharged from the firearm.

Abstract: In a method for minimizing a data bottleneck in a Low Data
Rate Network (LDRN) (34), i.e. a facsimile network having a
transmission rate less than the data rate of the facsimile machines
serviced by the network, the LDRN (34) is coupled to first (12) and
second (16) facsimile (FAX) machines. The first (12) and second (16)
FAX machines are capable of negotiating a value corresponding to a
Minimum Scan Line time (MSLT). The method comprises processing the
facsimile transmissions in order to make the date rates of the LDRN
(34) and the FAX machines (12, 16) compatible, thereby minimizing any
potential facsimile data bottlenecks that may occur in the LDRN (34)
due to its slower data rate. In the method, a data stream is scanned
and encoded into a plurality of data lines using the first FAX machine
(12). The scanned and encoded data stream is processed, including
inserting at least one fill bit into each data line having a bit value
(L line ) less than the MSLT value, the bit value for each data line of
processed data equalling or exceeding the MSLT value. Processed data
is transmitted (32) from the first FAX machine (12) to a first side of
the LDRN (34) at a fax transmission data rate R fax . The transmitted
data is second processed, including removing from each inserted data
line the or each fill bit, and the second processed data is second
transmitted from the first side of the LDRN (34) to a second side of
the LDRN (34). The second transmitted data is third processed,
including reinserting into each data line the or each fill bit, and the
third processed data is third transmitted (36) from the second side of
the LDRN (34) to the second FAX machine (16).

Abstract: Signals from warning systems are passed to a hazard prioritization computer.
The prioritization computer also receives inputs from the aircraft's air data and inertial
reference system. The alert prioritization computer includes three functional modules:
(1) hazard detection, identification and monitoring, (2) threat assessment and (3) display
and alert prioritization logic. The hazard prioritization computer processes the warning
system signals, along with stored data from a hazard database to compute a severity
component of threat and a proximity component of threat. These two components are
processed to produce an overall threat value for each hazard. This overall threat value
is then processed to provide alert and display generation and prioritization for the flight
crew and/or the aircraft's auto-flight system.

Inventor: KATO JUNJI
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 1999-05-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting data among devices connected to a serial data
bus at maximum speeds are disclosed. Each device may be capable of transmitting data at
several speeds. A transmitting device first transmits a data packet to a target recipient device at
a maximum transmission speed of the transmitting device. If an acknowledgement signal
confirming receipt of the initial data transmission is received from the target recipient, then the
transmission speed for subsequent data packet transmissions is set to the speed of the just-transmitted
data. Otherwise, the transmission speed is reduced and the process is repeated.
Once an acknowledgement is received and the speed is set, the speed may be stored in a
memory of the transmitting device for use in future communications with the recipient device.
The process is repeated to establish maximum suitable transmission speeds to other target
devices connected to the bus. Embodiments of the present invention have particular utility
when used in conjunction with an IEEE 1394 serial bus interface in the absence of a bus
manager. Following a bus reset operation in which the memory of each device is cleared,
individual devices reestablish appropriate data transmission speeds to each of the other devices
by transmitting packets at varying speeds, if necessary, until acknowledgements are received.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un kit d'occlusion artificielle permettant d'implanter et de retenir un dispositif d'occlusion artificielle dans un espace corporel de mammifère, ledit espace étant adjacent à une lumière corporelle et disposé le long de ladite lumière. Ledit kit comporte au moins un dispositif d'occlusion et un dispositif de retenue permettant de bloquer la migration du dispositif d'occlusion hors du site d'occlusion. Le dispositif de retenue est susceptible de se déployer radialement au niveau d'un site de retenue adjacent à l'espace corporel à occlure, jusqu'à posséder un diamètre qui est suffisant pour lui permettre d'entrer en contact avec la paroi de la lumière corporelle au niveau du site de retenue et de former une barrière à travers la zone d'entrée de l'espace corporelle à occlure. Le dispositif de retenue déployé constitue également une lumière pour l'écoulement à travers la lumière corporelle au niveau du site de retenue. Ce dispositif de retenue peut être placé dans le corps de manière temporaire ou permanente. Ledit dispositif de retenue peut également comporter au moins un espace semi-perméable, ce qui rend possible l'introduction de dispositifs d'occlusion dans l'espace corporel à occlure, mais empêche la migration subséquente des dispositifs d'occlusion hors de l'espace corporel. Il est également possible de dilater ledit espace semi-perméable de façon à pouvoir y introduire des dispositifs d'occlusion. Un fil d'introduction ou un cathéter d'administration à pointe effilée peut être utilisée pour dilater l'espace dilatable et introduire les dispositifs d'occlusion. La structure du dispositif de retenue peut également comporter un fil métallique opaque aux rayons X, enroulé de façon à former une hélice primaire sur un élément central interne constitué d'un alliage superélastique de nickel et de titane.

Title: Cartouche de bande de grande capacite haute performance
Inventor: KRULA DAVID A
IPC: G11B5/00
Filed: 1999-08-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne une cartouche de bande présentant une face antérieure conçue pour être compatible avec un dispositif d'entraînement de bande standard industriel, et des bords plus longs que ceux de certaines cartouches standard industrielles. Les bords et la partie supérieure du logement s'étendent vers l'extérieur en largeur de façon à former une partie postérieure de cartouche plus large que la partie antérieure, et empêcher que la cartouche ne soit insérée dans des dispositifs d'entraînement non compatibles. Deux noyaux de bande de grand diamètre permettent d'améliorer les rapports de diamètres noyau vide sur bobine de bande entière, ainsi que la force d'entraînement tangentiel et les profils de tension de bande obtenus quand la bande défile entre les noyaux. Des flasques sont liées de façon permanente aux noyaux pour empêcher un déplacement des bobines de bande, et un ressort sollicite les noyaux contre la plaque d'appui. Un ensemble postérieur de galets comprend un galet à entraînement rapide qui entre en contact avec la courroie d'entraînement selon un angle d'enroulement fixe, et produit un entraînement relativement constant. Un ensemble antérieur de galets comprenant un galet d'entraînement comporte des galets montés de façon à former des géométries sensiblement égales avec des galets situés dans l'ensemble postérieur par rapport aux noyaux de bande. L'angle d'enroulement constant du galet à entraînement rapide tend à compenser des entraînements variables d'autres galets, ce qui entraîne une modification réduite de la tension de bande et de la force d'entraînement tangentiel au cours du transfert de la bande d'un noyau à l'autre. Un panneau mobile recouvre les ouvertures de galet d'entraînement et de support situées sur la face antérieure de la cartouche quand celle-ci se trouve hors d'un dispositif d'entraînement de bande. Un bras de protection contre l'écriture est monté pivotant sur la face antérieure de la cartouche.

Title: Cryptages par blocs ameliores a rotations dependant des donnees
Inventor: RIVEST RONALD L
IPC: G09C1/00
Filed: 1999-06-15
Abstract: Un message à texte clair à crypter est segmenté en plusieurs mots, par exemple en quatre mots mémorisés dans les registres A, B, C et D, et une fonction de multiplication d'entiers est appliquée à un sous-ensemble de mots, par exemple au deux mots des registres B et D. L'utilisation de ladite multiplication d'entiers permet l'augmentation sensible de la diffusion obtenue par tour de cryptage, et d'augmenter ainsi la sécurité par tour ainsi que le rendement. La fonction de multiplication d'entiers peut être une fonction quadratique se présentant sous la forme f(x)=x(ax+b), a représentant un entier pair et b un entier impair, ou une autre fonction appropriée, telle qu'un polynôme d'ordre supérieur. Les résultats de la fonction de multiplication d'entiers sont tournés selon une valeur de 1g w bits, 1g dénotant la base logarithmique 2 et w représentant le nombre de bits dans un mot donné, de sorte qu'une paire de résultats intermédiaires t et u soit générée. Une somme disjonctive d'un autre mot, par exemple le mot du registre A, conjointement avec un des résultats intermédiaires, par exemple t, est tournée d'une valeur déterminée par l'autre résultat intermédiaire u. De même, une somme disjonctive du mot restant dans le registre D conjointement avec le résultat intermédiaire u est tournée d'une valeur déterminée par l'autre résultat intermédiaire t. Un élément d'un groupement de clés secrètes est appliqué à chacun de ces résultats de rotation, et le contenu des registres est ensuite transposé. Ce processus est répété pour un nombre déterminé de tours de sorte qu'un message à texte plein soit générer. Des opérations de pré-insertion et de post-insertion de blancs peuvent être incluses de sorte que l'entrée ou la sortie ne révèle aucune information interne sur tout tour de cryptage, quel qu'il soit. Des opérations de décryptage correspondantes peuvent être utilisées pour le décryptage du message à texte crypté.
