Title: Process for the realization of transferable images specially for walls
Inventor: BRIGATO ANTONIO
IPC: B44C1/17
Filed: 1999-11-26
Abstract: The invention is a new process for obtaining transferable images specially for walls in which the image is first processed by computer, printed (upturned) on supports or on transfer paper, then an adhesive binder is laid off the chosen wall, the support or the transfer paper leant against the wall is plugged back to front. Original images perfectly transferred on the pre-treated wall are obtained. This process has the advantage that neither stencils nor standard production are required but each application is original since it is created by the user himself by means of a computer.

Title: A multi-dimensional buffer management hierarchy
Inventor: JANOSKA MARK WILLIAM
IPC: H04L29/02
Filed: 2001-10-05
Abstract: A congestion management system that controls access to any shared resource by incoming data transmission units. The access can be controlled based on the particular connection associated with a data transmission unit. Every shared resource, such as a pool of buffer memory, is represented by a partition. The congestion management system is comprised of a plurality of connection data structures and a plurality of partition data structures. Each connection data structure represents a particular connection and, similarly, each partition data structure represents a particular partition. Each incoming DTU is associated with a single connection but may be allowed access to more than one partition. Each partition is associated with a shared resource and access to each partition is governed by the state of a partition data structure. If a partition data structure indicates that a specific threshold has been met, then access to the shared resource by other DTUs is denied. Depending on the priority level enforced a DTU may be accepted or rejected based on the priority level of the DTU. It should be mentioned that the priority level enforced may change depending on the number of DTUs that are currently accessing the resource.

Title: Protecting content from illicit reproduction by proof of existence of a complete data set
Inventor: EPSTEIN MICHAEL A
IPC: G10L25/51
Filed: 2001-01-30
Abstract: A number of data items are selected for inclusion in a data set so as to discourage a transmission of the entire set over a limited bandwidth communications path, such as the Internet. Each portion of a data set is bou nd to the entirety of the data set so that portions of data sets that are independently distributed can be distinguished. In the case of audio recordings, for example, the data set includes an entire album, the individu al songs on the album constituting portions of this data set. By binding each song to the album, a compliant player can be configured to refuse to render items in the absence of the complete data set. In this manner, the theft of a song requires a theft of the entire album. An uncompressed digital recording  of an entire album consumes hundreds of megabytes of data, and the infeasibility or impracticality of downloading hundreds of megabytes of data  is expected to provide sufficient discouragement for the theft of uncompress ed content material. In a preferred embodiment, a watermark is created for each  section of the data sent that contains an "entirety parameter" associated wi th the data set. The entirety parameter is a hash value that is based on a rand om number stored in the watermarks of each section. When presented for renderin g, the entirety parameter is read, and the watermarks of a random selection of sections within the data set are compared to this entirety parameter to assure, with statistical certainty, that the entirety of the data set is present.

Inventor: CURTIS JEREMY
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2001-06-13
Abstract: The present invention provides an adaptor, system and a method for allowing a communications device to accept a connection from a Bluetooth enable device.  This is achieved by coupling the communications device to an adaptor which is configured to accept a Bluetooth connection from a Bluetooth enable device.  The communications device periodically generates a connection request signal which is transferred to the adaptor. Once the Bluetooth connection has been established, the adaptor then establishes a connection with the communications device in response to a connection request signal. Communication can then be performed between the communications device and the Bluetooth enable device, with the communications device acting as a slave.

Title: Multiple wavelength optical sources
Inventor: PEZESHKI BARDIA
IPC: H01S3/08
Filed: 2000-10-25
Abstract: Optical pumping arrangements are provided for the broadband or multiple wavelength pumping of optical sources. Sources may be based on Raman gain media and may use multiple output couplers to couple out different wavelength ranges. Configurations may also be used. Overlapping resonators cascaded Ruman resonators at different wavelengths may be configured to share gain media, and may have separate portions in separate optical paths.  Attenuation filters may also be used that are matched to the gain profile of a gain medium, to flatten the gain spectrum and allow equalization of gain to different output wavelengths. In one embodiment, polarization maintaining fiber is used to develop resonant conditions at different wavelengths in different polarization states. Wideband output gratings may be substituted for narrowband gratings to provide CRR configurations with a broader output hand. Broadband amplification may also be provided by using a laser source operating in coherence collapse. The multiple wavelength pumping lends itself to a pumping arrangement in which sources at different wavelengths are combined into separate transmission/gain media such as the different fibers of an optical fiber cable.
