Filed: 1998-08-27
Granted: 2008-05-13
Abstract: A method of controlling a computer system (10) comprising the steps of: disposing a computer (12) in an operating space and placing the computer (12) in a lockout mode to prevent operation of the computer software by a user. A database (26) of authorized user codes is compiled in the computer. A transponder (20) places a first authorized user code in the operating space and a transceiver (18) scans the operating space for the presence of a transponder transmitting an authorized user code and senses the presence of the first authorized user code in the operating space. A comparator (29) compares the first authorized user code to the database (26) for verification to unlock the computer (12) for use by the first authorized user in response to sensing th e authorized user code in the operating space. The authorized user then is free to operate the computer software while the sensing for the presence of a transponder (20) transmitting an authorized user code in the operating space is continued.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing start-up delay in data packet-based network streaming applications
Inventor: LOU HUI-LING
IPC: H04L49/9023
Filed: 2000-03-16
Granted: 2004-01-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus which reduces the start-up delay that may occur when switching programs in audio and/or video streaming applications while maintaining high quality steady-state performance thereof. A program source (e.g., an audio and/or video data stream) is encoded and transmitted as two or more separate bit streams (e.g., sequences of data packets), the transmission of one of these bit streams being delayed by a given amount of time relative to the transmission of the other bit stream(s). At the receiving end of the transmission channel, the two or more bit streams are buffered by receive buffers having different sizes (thereby resulting in different time delays when the contents thereof are decoded), wherein the time delay difference corresponds (inversely) to the relative delay times prior to transmission. Advantageously, either a multiple descriptive source coding scheme or an embedded coding scheme may be employed, in which at least one of the individual bit streams is sufficient to obtain a satisfactory decoded signal, but wherein the addition of the other bit stream(s) will improve the quality of the decoded signal.   Alternatively, the data streams may comprise multiple encodings of the program source having different bit rates, wherein the lower bit rate encodings are transmitted with the correspondingly larger delays.

Abstract: The present application relates to a process for polymerizing monomer and comonomer(s) utilizing a bulky ligand transition metal metallocene-type catalyst or catalyst system, where the process is operated in the absence of or with a low amount of any of the isomers of the comonomer(s). The level of these isomers in the process of the invention is eliminated or maintained below a threshold level. It has been discovered that removal of certain isomers of the comonomer used in a polymerization process using metallocene-type catalysts results in an improved process.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de refroidissement (11) pour véhicule de chantier (10), qui comprend un échangeur de chaleur (23) (p. ex. un échangeur de chaleur à liquide de refroidissement ou huile hydraulique) et un mécanisme soufflant (27) pour faire circuler de l'air le long d'une voie d'écoulement traversant l'échangeur de chaleur (23, 25). Dans ce système amélioré, le mécanisme soufflant (27) est un mécanisme de type centrifuge et constitue sensiblement le seul moyen de faire circuler de l'air le long de la voie d'écoulement. Autrement dit, il n'y a sensiblement pas d'air dynamique. Le mécanisme (27) inclut un boîtier (29) logeant un ventilateur. Le ventilateur (31) comporte des aubes inclinées vers l'avant (33), ce qui réduit le bruit du système.
