Title: Asset communication format within a computer network
Inventor: ROMATOSKI JEFFREY ALLEN
IPC: G16H30/20
Filed: 2001-07-24
Abstract: A router includes a computer-readable medium storing routing information mapping destinations to routes within a network. A storage manager software module executing within an operating environment provided by the router receives a network communication including an asset having a pixel data and non-pixel data, and stores the asset to a storage device. A validation software module validates the non-pixel data in parallel with the storage of the asset. A routing module forwards the storage asset to a network destination in accordance with the routing information upon the validation of the non-pixel data.

Patent CA-2443457-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JASCOB BRADLEY
IPC: A61N1/08
Filed: 2002-03-29
Abstract: An improved system and method for detecting dislodgement of an implantable medical device (IMD) such as a catheter or lead is disclosed. The system includes means for generating multiple, orthogonally-related signals within a body. For example, three current signals having a current path substantially oriented in the X, Y, and Z directions may be generated within the body. The invention further includes an IMD having an affixation device such as a helix at a distal tip for attachment to body tissue, and at least two sensing devices to sense the signals generated within the body. The difference in signal levels between two of the sensing devices may be measured. For example, a voltage potential difference created by the currents within the body may be measured between two electrodes. This measured signal level has components in the X, Y, and Z directions, and may therefore be used to define a directional vector in three-dimensional space. This vector is indicative of the orientation of the IMD. By comparing a directional vector indicative of a current IMD position with a vector indicative of a reference orientation, dislodgement of the IMD may be detected. In one embodiment, the reference orientation may be associated with a position wherein the IMD distal end is substantially perpendicular to the tissue. The comparison between the reference orientation and a subsequent IMD orientation may be performed by calculating the angle between the two associated vectors. If the angle exceeds a predetermined maximum angle, dislodgement is indicated.

Title: Metal ring assembly which is assembled and soldered to a support collar in order to form the annular cooling conduit of an internal combustion engine piston, the method of producing said finned metal ring and the metal ring thus obtained
Inventor: APPO ROBERTO OSCAR
IPC: F16J9/00
Filed: 2002-07-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a metal ring assembly having a more or less U-shape d cross-section. The free ends of the flanges of said U are supported on and connected to two annular seats which are disposed on the internal surface of the support collar, in line with the internal edges thereof. The supports an d connections for the free ends are sealed by means of annular weld beads whic h extend into the annular seats and which rest on the body of the support collar. In this way, an internal annular cooling conduit is formed having an internal surface area which is formed by the metal ring and the internal diametral surface of the support collar which extends between the two annula r seats. The inventive method consists in: cutting a flat metal sheet of a suitable thickness to form a circular disk; by means of stamping on said dis k, producing a circumferential wall with a projecting edge in the form of a diverging flange; cutting and removing the circular base by means of stampin g on the part formed in the previous step; using the ring produced in the previous step and forming a second projecting edge in the form of a divergin g flange by means of stamping on the circular edge opposite the first divergin g flange. The metal ring thus obtained comprises a single C-shaped body of met al sheet having diverging flanges that comply with different pre-established designs.

IPC: G06F3/043
Filed: 2002-08-13
Abstract: Touch panel systems and methods are disclosed that can distinguish temporally overlapping touch inputs from single touch inputs so that valid touch position coordinates can be determined. Touch panel systems and methods of the present invention can distinguish overlapping touches by comparing signal magnitudes to specified thresholds, by comparing the rates of change of signal magnitudes or measured positions to determined parameters, by determining the proximity of a calculated location to icons or other such active areas, and the like.  Because touch panel systems and methods of the present invention can discriminate single touches from double touches, they can be used in multiple user applications such as multiplayer games as well as in applications that may be subject to rapidly successive or overlapping touch inputs.

Title: Distributed space-time-space switch
Inventor: GOODWILL DOMINIC JOHN
IPC: H04Q11/00
Filed: 2004-03-19
Abstract: A wide-coverage, high-capacity, switching network is modeled after a classical space-time-space switch. In the switching network, each of the space stages comprises geographically distributed optical space switches and the time stage comprises a plurality of geographically distributed high-capacity electronic switching nodes. User-access concentrators, each supporting numerous users, access the network through ports of the distributed optical space switches. A  user-access concentrator is a simple device which need only have a single access channel to access the network, although two or more access channels may be used. Such a user-access concentrator can communicate with a large number of other user-access concentrators by time-multiplexing the access channel.
