Title: Secure and efficient address resolution for client stations connected over wide area network links to ip networks such as the internet
Inventor: LANGSTAFF STEPHEN
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2000-01-25
Abstract: In a wide area network (WAN) configured to act as a local area network (LAN) for enabling clients (e.g. PCs) to access the Internet, a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server makes address resolution protocol (ARP) table or cache entries in response to DHCP messages received from respective clients. The ARP entries include a client's logical interface, IP address, hardware address, and network connection identifier (e.g. virtual circuit (VC) identifier). Accordingly, the DHCP server need not broadcast ARP requests to obtain client addresses and/or may ignore incoming alleged or actual ARP replies, thereby reducing WAN traffic and rendering the network more secure.

Title: System and method for developing custom operator-specific software-applications
Inventor: LEHMEIER MICHELLE R
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2002-12-30
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for customizing a software application interface. A method for modifying a software application contains the following steps: identifying the operator (504); acquiring an operator profile (506); setting a threshold value (508); monitoring the operator's use of the software (512); and modifying a functional interface when the threshold is exceeded (520).

Title: Variable-length/fixed-length data conversion
Inventor: ITANO SEIHO
IPC: H04L9/06
Filed: 2003-03-25
Abstract: A data conversion technique which allows efficient processing of fixed-length data even when a remainder is produced by dividing input variable-length data by a predetermined fixed length. The data conversion method comprises: dividing a length of n-byte variable-length data by a predetermined fixed length, m, and producing a remainder data length, r; subtracting the remainder data length, r, from the predetermined fixed length m to produce an added data length, k; generating addition data 102 including reference data (which may be indicative of the remainder data length) used to determine the added data length; and adding the addition data to the variable-length data to produce (n+k) extended data which allows for fixed-length data processing 103 (such as DES encryption). Also the technique comprises a data conversion apparatus comprising: a fixed-length processor 104 for performing fixed-length processing of input data to produce first data; calculating means arranged for reading reference data from a predetermined position of the first data to determine an added data length 106; and added-data removing means 105 for removing data corresponding to the added data length from the first data to reproduce original n-byte variable-length data. The method may be used in a media converter such as that converting data for transmission between a FFTH (Fibre To The Home) system and a home/office computer or equivalently between a fibre optic cable and a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable.

Patent GB-2385975-A (GB)
Title: Display device and methods of manufacture and control
Inventor: HOLMAN ANDREW A
IPC: G09G5/00
Filed: 2001-11-21
Abstract: A flexible display device has one or more flexible electrode assemblies. Each of the electrode assemblies includes a hierarchical control arrangement for selectively activating electrodes of the display device. The hierarchical control arrangement includes high-level control elements and low-level control elements, each of the high-level control elements being operatively coupled to respective subsets of the low-level control elements, which in turn are coupled to respective groups of the electrodes. Exemplary control elements are microstructure elements containing imbedded microprocessors or integrated circuits. The use of a hierarchical control arrangement results in data signals having to pass through fewer control elements when compared with single-level arrangements. This increases operation speed and reduces power losses due to voltage drops across control elements. In addition, the number of connections to device(s) external to the display may thereby be reduced.
