Title: Digital audio broadcast system with local information
Inventor: WARWICK COLIN ALAN
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 1999-09-27
Granted: 2005-11-15
Abstract: A digital audio broadcast channel is used in accordance with the principles of the present invention to broadcast local content information signals included with an associated geographically identifying code (e.g., a zip code) for reception only by those receivers associated with the geographical ly identifying code. Preferably, local content broadcasts containing audible information are preferably compressed for transmission to increase the capacity of the channel. A disclosed receiver monitors received signals for active local broadcasting relating to that particular locality, and switches to the reception of that local content information signal instead of the normal mod e of reception of a general broadcast information signal for the duration of the local content information signal. Preferably, the unique local broadcast identifie r code is contained in a header of the transmitted data packets. General broadcast content information and local content information can be received substantially simultaneously such that the audio signals relating to the general broadcast content and the local content are superimposed on one another, or reception of the local information may preempt reception of general broadcas t information.

Patent CA-2313013-C (CA)
Title: An instruction decoder
Inventor: HALVARSSON DAN
IPC: G06F9/22
Filed: 1998-12-02
Granted: 2005-03-29
Abstract: In a computer system the instruction decoding unit for translating program instructions to microcode instructions operates dynamically. Thus the unit receives state signals indicating the state of the computer, such as a trace enabling signal (63), influencing the translation process in the instruction decoding unit. These state signals (63) are added to the operation code (65) of the program instruction to be decoded, the operation code of the program instruction thus being extended and used as input to a translating table (55), the extended operation code of the program instruction being taken as an address of a field in the table. The addresses and thus the contents of the fields addressed for the same operation code of a program instruction can then be different for different values of the state signals. Thus generally, the state signals cause the instruction decoder to change its translating algorithm so that the decoder can decode an operation code differently depending on the state which the signals adopt. The dynamic decoding can for a trace enabling signal be used for switching on and off a trace function. In the normal case, when tracing is not desired, no microinstructions supporting the trace function have to be executed and thereby the performance and in particular the speed of the computer system will be increased.

Abstract: A seal assembly for an overhead-storing door seals the horizontal joints between adjacent panels of the door. The panels are pivotally interconnected at the joints to allow the door to open and close by traveling along a set of lateral tracks that curve between horizontal and vertical. The door closes in the vertical position, and stores horizontally overhead. The seal assembly can also be used for sealing the leading edge of the door panel that closes against the floor. The seal assembly includes a seal holder with a T-shaped anchor that engages a complimental T-shaped seal-receiving opening in a foam core of at least one of the door panels. The seal holder includes shaped grooves for attaching a flexible U-shaped seal member and, if desired, for inserting a reinforcing bar that increases the rigidity of the seal holder. In attaching the seal member to the seal holder, the T-shaped anchor slides in a first direction into the mating seal-receiving opening in the foam core. The sliding fit in a first direction provides a positive connection in another direction perpendicular to the first. This ensures that the seal holder is held firmly in place when in use, yet is readily installed or replaced.
