Title: Transcoding for consumer set-top storage application
Inventor: MORONEY PAUL
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2000-08-16
Granted: 2005-04-26
Abstract: A consumer set-top terminal (400) and method that receives and stores digital programming services such as television programs for subsequent playback by the user in a manner analogous to a conventional video cassette recorder (VCR). An interface (480) allows the terminal's user to control a transcoding process (427) based on the desired quality level for the transcoded data, e.g., high, medium or low. The transcoding is provided without the expense and complexity of a full encoder. By performing transcoding at the terminal (400), the bit rate of the data can be reduced sufficiently to allow economical storage at the terminal. Moreover, the user can set the quality level to be different for different programs, different parts of the same program, or for different channels.

Patent CA-2432013-C (CA)
Inventor: NICHOLSON ALLAN
IPC: H01R43/00
Filed: 2001-12-20
Granted: 2009-08-25
Abstract: An electrical connector and method of making the electrical connection are disclosed for use in particularly arduous conditions, such as down hole oil production applications. The invention provides high electrical integrity with an ability to accommodate steady and/or fluctuating mechanical forces placed via the cable into the connector. Synergy between the mechanical and electrical aspects of the design is taught in which an insulating member, fitted with annular upstands, co-operates with a mechanically soft, essentially incompressible, insulating substance (gel) to cause vibrations in the cable to be dissipated over a length of the insulated cores inside the connector rather that at a single point where it would cause the core to fracture. In addition, annular collars of the gel are provided between the insulating member and the crimped pin-core connections and between the annular upstands and insulated cores to give further cushioning. Because the core insulation sits deep inside the annular upstand of the insulating member and gel collars, this creates a good electrical interface with a long creepage distance. The method covers the creation of the gel collars, alignment of contact pins and insulated cores and assembly of the connector.

Abstract: Described herein is a technology facilitating the operation of non-native program modules within a native computing platform. This technology provides a mechanism for aligning-as necessary-parameters of data structures so that program modules or operating systems of different paradigms may use them. The data of parameters of data structures is aligned to match the native paradigm.  Typically, such data structures are shared by non-native program modules and the native operating system (or other program modules). It is aligned so that data-that would otherwise be non-aligned and performance hindering-is quickly and easily accessible by the native platform. This abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent. The scope of the present invention is pointed out in the appending claims.
