Title: State-based remote control system
Inventor: HARRIS GLEN MCLEAN
IPC: H04Q9/00
Filed: 2001-03-14
Abstract: A state-based remote control system for providing efficient and simple operation of a plurality of electronic devices as a coordinated system based upon an overall task. The state-based remote control system includes a housing, a keypad in communication with an electronic system contained within the housing, and a communication device in communication with the electronic system for communicating with external electronic devices. The electronic system monitors the buttons selected by a user to determine the state of all external electronic devices that are to be controlled. When the user selects a task (e.g. watch television), the electronic system automatically determines the actions required to achieve the desired task based upon the current state of the external electronic devices. After the task has been fulfilled, the electronic system updates the data to reflect the modified state of the external electronic devices.

Title: Digital video system using networked cameras
Inventor: MARCHESE JOSEPH ROBERT
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2001-03-14
Abstract: A digital video system (20) including a computer (22) connected via a network (28) to a number of video servers (26) and cameras (24). The computer (22) includes a program that provides a grid of display windows, each of which displays an image received from the camera associated with that window. The program sequentially polls each camera, accessing and displaying an images from the camera in its associated window. The program can access the cameras (24) at different frame rates. The program stores image streams in a single file, concatenating each successive image onto the end of the file. The file is then indexed using SOI and EOI markers to permit fast access to individual images within the file. The program can monitor received video and automatically start recording upon detecting motion within the video stream.  Motion detection is implemented by comparing color component values for pixels from different images.

Title: Modulo scheduling of multiple instruction chains
Inventor: MCINNES JAMES L
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2003-06-25
Abstract: Instructions of a loop are related in instruction chains represented by a data dependency graph with multiple first nodes for the instruction chains (either in a backward or forward direction). These instructions are modulo scheduled for execution by a processor. Execution parameters for each instruction denote execution relationships with previous instructions including latencies from execution of previous instructions and processor resources used by the instruction for execution. The instructions are ordered for scheduling according to a priority value for each instruction, which may be determined in a number of ways. Ordering starts with all instructions that have the highest priority value. Ordering continues with instructions related to instructions that have already been ordered; those instructions that are related and have a given priority value for the unordered instructions. After all instructions have been ordered they are modulo scheduled. Instructions are scheduled according to the previously determined order on the basis of latencies of previous related instructions, resources used by the instruction for execution and resources available in time cycles in the schedule.

Patent CA-2443160-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BREDESEN DALE
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 2002-03-29
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that the .beta.-amyloid precursor protein (APP), and two APP-like proteins (APLP1 and APLP2) are proteolytically cleaved by caspases in the C terminus to generate an approximately 31 amino acid peptide. It has been further discovered that the resultant C-terminal peptide is a potent inducer of apoptosis. Both caspase-cleaved APP and activated caspase-9 is present in brains of Alzheimer's disease patients but not in control brains. These findings indicate that caspase cleavage of APP and APP-like proteins leads to the generation of apoptotic peptides, which may contribute to the neuronal death associated with Alzheimer's disease. Accordingly, there are provided compositions and methods for modulating apoptosis.

Title: Gutter and cover system
Inventor: BULLINGER MICHAEL J
IPC: E04D13/076
Filed: 2003-10-31
Abstract: A gutter and cover system mounts at an edge of a roof to collect water into the gutter without other debris. The system includes a combination gutter and cover made from a monolithic element or interlocked to form a single structure. The gutter includes a front, bottom and rear extending up to the cover, which extends over the gutter. The cover has a pooling section and a front, curving edge. The pooling section slows down the flow of water and allows it to flow over the curving edge and adhere to the cover due to surface tension while debris falls outside of the gutter. A support element slides inward to provide support for the cover and a front face of the gutter. The support element includes structure for receiving mounting hardware.

Title: System and method for increasing the effective bandwidth of a communications network
Inventor: PARRELLA MICHAEL J SR
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2002-06-04
Abstract: A system and method for increasing the effective bandwidth of a communications network is provided by overlaying a "super" transport and caching structure over the conventional TCP/IP communications network, for example, the Internet 160, which increases the transfer rate of information in the communications network. The "super" transport and caching structure includes software or hardware or both added to at least two modules separated by a communications link in the communications network. The net result is that the users of the communications network have their time to access and/or retrieve informations significantly reduced, and the communications network, particularly a large network, e.g. the Internet 160, becomes an efficient means of performing commercial transactions by both businesses and individuals.

Abstract: Le protocole DHCP est un protocole textuel qui fonctionne sur la couche IP. La fonction principale de ce protocole est la configuration de matériel réseautique de redémarrage. Des serveurs DHCP peuvent affecter des adresses IP dynamiques aux clients de DHCP à partir d'un ensemble d'adresses, ou peut affecter des adresses statiques manuellement affectées aux administrateurs de réseaux. Conjointement à ses adresses IP, un client de DHCP peut recevoir une pléthore d'autres informations de configuration utiles. L'information DHCP, appelée options dans la terminologie DHCP, sont de manière typique enregistrées auprès de l'IANA, et peuvent présenter virtuellement n'importe quel format pour leur champ de données. La présente invention décrit une manière générique d'addition de nouvelles options à un client de DHCP en spécifiant le type de données pour l'option. Cela permet une personnalisation aisée des clients de DHCP. Des exemples typiques de l'information sur les options sont le filtre d'adresse locale et l'adresse IP du routeur local.
