Title: Systemes et controleurs de validation des reservations dans un reseau de telecommunications multimedia multipoint
Inventor: ROTTOO SUNIL
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-06-03
Granted: 2004-12-07
Abstract: On décrit un système de contrôle et de validation des réservations de conférence multimédia qui comprend une base de données incluant l'ensemble des ressources couramment réservées sur chaque serveur multimédia multipoint (MMS) commandé par le contrôleur des réservations, lequel identifie chaque ressource ainsi que l'heure de début et de fin de la réservation. Le système de validation est conçu pour valider une requête de réservation accompagnée d'une liste des ressources requises, dans le cas où des ressources flexibles sont considérées des ressources désirables mais non pas absolument nécessaires. En réponse à une requête de réservation sollicitant un seul MMS, le système de validation s'introduit dans la base de données et construit une liste de ressources accompagnée des tranches horaires durant lesquelles ces ressources sont déjà réservées. Cette liste est utilisée pour créer une matrice de disponibilité des ressources, laquelle est ensuite analysée en vue de générer une liste indiquant les tranches horaires durant lesquelles les ressources requises sont disponibles. En outre, l'analyse matricielle indique également quelles ressources exactement doivent être utilisées pour satisfaire la requête pour chaque tranche horaire. En réponse à une requête de réservation sollicitant deux unités de MMS (202), le système de validation construit deux matrices de disponibilité des ressources (236), une pour chaque MMS, lesquelles sont analysées pour générer une liste indiquant les tranches horaires pendant lesquelles la conférence peut être réservée et les ressources mises en oeuvre.
Patent CA-2297400-C (CA)
Inventor: HERREN THOMAS R
IPC: E04B2/74
Filed: 2000-01-27
Granted: 2001-12-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to wall construction, and more particularly to a new and improved means for bracing parallel studs, draft dampening between parallel studs within interior wall structures, and anchoring hand rails and grab bars to walls using a single unitary device. A one piece elongated metal plate is inserted transversely between parallel metal studs to provide the largest percentage of closure between metal studs thereby forming a fire stop (also known as a draft dampener) within the completed wall assembly and simultaneously providing a metal backing for the installation of handrails and grab bars in conformity with requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Uniform Building Code requirements. The insertion of this one piece elongated plate further serves to reinforce the strength of metal studs permitting the use of lighter gauge metal studs and obviating the need for Black-Iron Channel reinforcement or other existing bridging technology between studs resulting in construction cost savings.     This one piece elongated metal plate is installed transversely between two parallel metal studs. The one piece elongated metal plate comprises two ends. The ends are bent perpendicular to the elongated metal plate and alternately to each other to form a flange on each end to permit the fastening of the elongated plate to the adjacent stud. In addition to the perpendicular flanges, one of the two elongated ends incorporates two parallel notches, one on each side of the elongated plate along the horizontal edge, to accommodate insertion of the elongated plate between the flanges of "u"-shaped "C"-stud. The horizontal sides of the elongated plate are folded downward and perpendicular to the elongated plate forming downward flanges on each side of the elongated plate. One of the horizontal downward flanges extends substantially further down than its counterpart to form the claimed backing means for the attachment of wall mounted structures, e.g., handrails and grab bars.

Abstract: A redundant communications scheme for a protective relay (12) which allows high speed, reliable, fault tolerant communications betwen peer protective devices in a power distribution network. Communication over a selectable primary communication channel (14a) are interrupted and switched to a secondary communication channel (14b), which can operate according to a different communication protocol, when a fault is detected on the primary communication channel. The fault detection and switching is performed transparently to the main protective relay processor (16).

Title: Protocol independent sub-rate device
Inventor: SOLHEIM ALAN G
IPC: H04L69/14
Filed: 2000-04-05
Granted: 2011-03-22
Abstract: A protocol independent multiplexer is described that allows for multiple different protocols that operate at different bit rates to be combined and output in a format that may have yet another bit rate. The multiplexer includes a series of inputting devices that are each coupled to a respective buffering device, a mapping device coupled to each of the buffering devices, and an outputting device coupled to the mapping device. Each of the inputting devices receive an input optical signal and forwards recovered data information to the corresponding buffering device. The buffering devices store the data information and output to the mapping device, the outputting being controlled by the mapping device to ensure that the buffering devices remain approximately half full. The mapping device formats the data information into individual data units and outputs the data units to the outputting device which subsequently multiplexes the data units. One key advantage of this protocol independent multiplexer is that only one piece of hardware is required for the operation of numerous different protocols.

Title: Polishing pads useful in chemical mechanical polishing of substrates in the presence of a slurry containing abrasive particles
Inventor: BILLINGS SCOTT C
IPC: B24B37/24
Filed: 2000-04-13
Granted: 2008-07-08
Abstract: A polishing pad for polishing semiconductors and other planar substrates in the presence of a slurry comprising abrasive particles and a dispersive agent is disclosed. The polishing pad includes a soluble component, preferably fibrous, within a polymer matrix component. The fibrous component includes fibers soluble in the slurry sufficiently to provide a void structure in the polishing surface of the pad. The void structure enhances the polishing rate and uniformity by increasing the mobility of the abrasive particles while reducing scratching of the polished surface. Additives that further enhance polishing and/or assist in the removal of residues generated during polishing, such as surfactants and removers, are optionally incorporated in the fibrous substance or topographically coated on the fibrous substance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un distributeur servant à retenir et à distribuer des sacs en plastique enroulés sur un mandrin (52). Le distributeur, constitué de métal lourd (10), est conçu pour présenter des glissières courbes dans lesquelles un mandrin peut se loger. Le distributeur comporte une languette (22) de séparation qui permet à un client de sortir les sacs un par un en tirant sur l'extrémité libre du sac situé le plus à l'extérieur. Afin d'empêcher le rouleau de se dérouler librement, une surface de freinage (28a) entre en contact avec le rouleau (50) et ralentit la rotation. Une force de freinage supplémentaire est assurée par des éléments de ressort (30, 32) montés à l'intérieur des glissières (14, 15), qui appliquent une force de frottement aux extrémités du mandrin (52). Les éléments de ressort (30, 32) sont orientés de telle sorte que la force appliquée sur le mandrin (52) par les ressorts (30, 32) quand le rouleau tourne lors de la distribution de sacs, tend à déplacer le rouleau (50) vers le bas contre la surface de freinage (28a). Les éléments de ressort (30, 32) sont fixés au distributeur à un point situé au-dessous de la surface de freinage (28a). Par conséquent, la force de freinage appliquée par les ressorts (30, 32) augmente à mesure que la taille du rouleau (50) diminue.
