Title: Multiple balance state account processing
Inventor: SONSALLA GLENN
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2003-04-07
Abstract: A computer based system and method for processing financial accounts.  Each account is defined by multiple daily account balance records. Each daily account balance record is defined by a daily account balance record posting state that defines the types of transactions that may be posted to the daily account record balance at any one time. The various daily account balance records defining a single account may have different daily account balance record posting states, thereby allowing different types of transactions for different account days to be posted to the same account simultaneously. The resulting account processing system and method provides customers greater flexibility in transferring money between accounts and provides banking entities greater flexibility in account processing timing and reducing operational costs.

Patent CA-2432128-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHAN KWUN CHUNG
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2000-12-13
Abstract: In a largescale video-on-demand (VOD) system, the scalability and the provision of truly interactive functions are two difficult problems which have not been resolved satisfactorily. It is easy to provide fully interactive functions using unicast streams but these systems are limited in their scalability which affect the cost of service provisioning. Batching systems based on multicast streaming, on the other hand, can increase the scalability but it is difficult to provide interactive functions on these systems. This invention provides a media delivery system having a novel architecture aiming at serving millions of users in a metropolitan area. It features hybrid multicast-unicast streaming to achieve both scalability and full interactivity trough the provision of distributed interactive servers, which cached the multicast media streams generated by the media servers. The interactive servers may also provide fault tolerant routing and error recovery.

Abstract: An active safety barrier circuit is disposable in series with an electrical conductor at a barrier between an adverse environment and an outside environment for passing an analog signal over the electrical conductor across the barrier while preventing potentially dangerous electrical threats from entering the adverse environment over the electrical conductor. The safety barrier circuit comprises: an analog-to-digital converter circuit for converting sequential time samples of the analog signal to a train of electrical digitally coded words which are output sequentially from the analog-to-digital converter circuit; an optical isolator for converting the electrical digitally coded words into light signals which are passed across an electrically non-conductive barrier which prevents potentially dangerous electrical threats from entering the adverse environment over the electrical conductor, and for reconverting the light signals back into the electrical digitally coded words after crossing the non-conductive barrier, the reconverted electrical digitally coded words being output sequentially from the optical isolator; and a digital-to-analog converter circuit for reconstructing the analog signal from the reconverted electrical digitally coded words being received sequentially from the optical isolator without affecting substantially the accuracy thereof.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de réflecteurs servant à former un embout et un coupleur de câbles à fibres optiques à élargissement et à collimation de faisceau et des dispositifs transducteurs électro-optiques, comprenant des sources de rayonnement et/ou des détecteurs. On réalise l'alignement des conducteurs optiques ou des <= coeurs >= des câbles à fibres optiques ou du système de réflecteurs avec un transducteur en connectant un élément magnétique avec le conducteur ou avec le système de réflecteurs, puis en appliquant un champ magnétique modulable depuis l'extérieur du dispositif afin de produire un alignement, puis on fixe les composants en place en utilisant des moyens tels qu'une résine époxyde photopolymérisable. Le collimateur et dispositif d'étalement de faisceau à réflecteurs multiples est aligné avec un point source par des moyens visuels ce qui permet d'éviter a nécessité d'envoyer un signal à un détecteur à travers le système afin d'aligner les composants. On supprime les réflexions au niveau de l'interface air/solide du dispositif optique à réflecteurs multiples en donnant à la surface de sortie du dispositif une surface de réfraction légèrement incurvée de manière à dévier les réflexions et à les éloigner de l'axe optique du dispositif.

Title: Toy gun
Inventor: KUNIMOTO KEIICHI
IPC: F41B11/52
Filed: 2003-10-29
Abstract: To avoid the situation, in which a gas pressure to be used for shooting a bullet from a loading chamber is partially lost, a toy gun in which a paint bullet charged in the loading chamber may be reliably shot with gas under a relatively low pressure is provided.        A gas flow control mechanism is arranged movably with respect to a movable member and forms a first gas passage for guiding the gas into the loading chamber and a second gas passage for guiding the gas to pressure receiving portions. For a period in which gas supply controllers take a gas supply state as the movable member advances, the gas flow control mechanism transfers from a state, in which the gas passage is opened whereas the gas passage is closed to supply the gas to the loading chamber through the gas passage, to a state, in which the gas passage is closed whereas the gas passage is opened to apply the gas to the pressure receiving portions through the gas passage, so that the movable member is moved back and forth thereby to make preparations for supplying the ballet P from a magazine to the loading chamber.

Abstract: A wind powered air pump apparatus comprises a windmill operative to rotate a driveshaft. An eccentric connected to the driveshaft reciprocates in response to rotation of the driveshaft. A first air pump comprises a first diaphragm connected to the eccentric such that the first diaphragm pushes air into a conduit during a first half revolution of the driveshaft, and draws ambient ait in during a second half revolution of the driveshaft. A second air pump comprises a second diaphragm connected to the eccentric such that the second diaphragm pushes air into the conduit during the second half revolution of the driveshaft, and draws ambient air in during the first half revolution of the driveshaft. Thus air is pumped into the conduit during substantially the full revolution of the driveshaft. Diaphragm flexing is reduced by pivotally attaching the eccentric arm to the diaphragm,
