Patent BR-PI0704417-A (BR)
Title: artigo, e, método para a proteção de um primeiro artigo de pelo menos um fluido que danifica dito primeiro artigo
Inventor: POWERS THOMAS
IPC: B01J20/02
Filed: 2007-12-06
Abstract: "ARTIGO, E, MéTODO PARA A PROTEçãO DE UM PRIMEIRO ARTIGO DE PELO MENOS UM FLUIDO QUE DANIFICA DITO PRIMEIRO ARTIGO". A invenção diz respeito às composições serventes ligadas a resina melhoradas e artigos de manufatura fabricada com estas, tais como caixas de um mecanismo, componentes estruturais e quadros de circuitos. A introdução de sorventes em composições de moldagem resinosas permite a eliminação de recipientes sorventes em sacos mais convencionais. As novas composições de moldagem da invenção e peças fabricadas com elas são multi-funcionais, beneficamente combinando as capacidades estruturais, mecânicas e adsorptivas sem requerer os aditivos de reforço habituais. Conseqüentemente, com a omissão dos aditivos de reforço as novas composições de moldagem da invenção são ainda caracterizadas pelas capacidades adsorptivas superiores levando em conta os fatores de carregamento de sorvente mais elevados do que as composições de moldagem contendo adsorvente anteriores.

Title: sistema de backup de dados relativos a operações de validação de passagens de transporte coletivo
Inventor: RODRIGUES AMADEU TONUSSI
IPC: G06V10/26
Filed: 2007-10-10
Abstract: SISTEMA DE BACKUP DE DADOS RELATIVOS A OPERAçõES DE VALIDAçãO DE PASSAGENS DE TRANSPORTE COLETIVO A automação dos processos de tarifação e controle de acesso aos meios de transporte coletivo público é um instrumento para aumentar a eficiência e a rapidez do serviço. Ultimamente, essa automação tem se dado principalmente pelo uso de cartões inteligentes (smartcards), que são peças plásticas com microcontroladores embutidos, com capacidade de executar programas, armazenar dados e comunicar-se com o meio externo. Essa comunicação com o meio externo se dá, em um sistema de tarifação e controle embarcado, por meio de um dispositivo conhecido como validador, existente a bordo de cada veículo de transporte coletivo de passageiros. Um validador para cartão é um microcomputador dedicado dotado, entre outros recursos, de um periférico para comunicação com o cartão. Cada operação com cartão gera um registro no validador, que contém toda a informação referente à transação realizada. Normalmente, esses registros de transações realizadas são armazenados inicialmente no validador até o retomo do veículo à garagem. Nesta oportunidade, os dados são convertidos pelo validador em arquivos encriptados e assinados digitalmente, que contém internamente data e número de identificação do validador. Esses arquivos são transferidos, por qualquer meio, para o servidor da garagem e deste para o servidor central do sistema (ou podem, ainda, ser transferidos diretamente para o servidor central). Como os dados referentes a cada transação com um cartão não são transmitidos imediatamente a um dos servidores (o da garagem ou o central), ficando armazenados no validador até que o veiculo retome à garagem, o sistema fica vulnerável ao seguinte tipo de falha: caso um validador dê defeito ou sofra uma avaria antes que o veículo retome á garagem, os dados armazenados naquele validador e ainda não transmitidos para o sistema ficarão irremediavelmente perdidos. O sistema de backup constante do presente pedido de patente visa solucionar esse problema.

Title: Data transmission method for SMART meters using an anonymous ID
Inventor: EFTHYMIOU COSTAS
IPC: G01D4/00
Filed: 2010-04-29
Abstract: A grid comprising a plurality of smart meters with two IDs. One of the IDs is used by the smart meter for sending consumption data that needs to attributed to the owner or user of the smart meter, for example for billing purposes. The second ID is anonymous, so that the utility provider is not able to associate consumption data sent by the smart meter in a message together with the second ID to a particular smart meter or household. The second ID is used by the smart meter for frequently transmitting information required by the grid operator for grid control, thereby alleviating privacy concerns associated with such data transmission. The first ID is used less frequently, so that any privacy concerns that may be associated with the transmission of attributable consumption data are less severe. Furthermore, the system allows reporting to a third party for checking with a data store that the anonymous ID is acceptable before it can be used for transmitting anonymous metering data. The apparatus may allow communication via a first channel of the ID corresponds to stored IS and via a second channel if it does not correspond to a stored ID.

Title: Adjustable bridge saddles for a guitar or other stringed instrument
Inventor: KELLY STEPHEN ALEXANDER
IPC: G10D3/04
Filed: 2010-05-28
Abstract: An adjustable bridge 2 for acoustic or electric guitars, or other stringed musical instruments, employs individual string saddle elements 6 which are housed within the bridge or on the body of the instrument. Each of the instrument strings 3 is in contact with an individual saddle element 6; the point of contact being referred to as a witness point 8. The saddle elements 6 are rotatable around a central axis perpendicular to the string witness point 8, wherein the axis of rotation is laterally offset from the string witness point 8. Rotational movement of a saddle element 6 is thereby translated into longitudinal movement of the corresponding witness point 8, which in turn precisely adjusts the vibrational length of the instrument string 3. In an embodiment, the saddle elements 6 are held in their various rotational positions by placing wedge shaped elements of varying sizes either side of the saddle element 6.

Filed: 2012-06-22
Abstract: A synchronisation signal from a master node is used to control video stream transmissions between sending nodes 102, 108, 111 and receiving nodes 103, 112. The synchronisation signal comprises first synchronisation elements that have a frequency greater than the highest image frequency of the video stream transmitted by the sending nodes and second synchronisation elements that are used to enable the sending nodes to maintain synchronisation with the master node. Methods are disclosed that a) permit image data to be transmitted to receiving nodes according to the first synchronising elements, b) control synchronisation between sending nodes by using the first synchronisation elements to synchronise image data transmission and c) control video stream transmission by transmitting image data of the video stream from a sending node to a receiving node using the first synchronisation elements and maintaining synchronisation between the sending nodes and master nodes using the second synchronising elements. The method is designed to provide a gapless display transition between video streams of the sending nodes when the receiving node switches from one display to another.
