Title: Method and packet-level device for traffic regulation in a data network
Inventor: COMPTON CHARLES L
IPC: H04L47/20
Filed: 2004-10-14
Abstract: A method of traffic regulation in a packet communication network involves a token bucket associated with a subscriber. Packets arriving at the regulator are handled in accordance with the token bucket configuration. The method further involves measuring a demand placed on the packet communication network by the subscriber. The token bucket configuration for the subscriber is dynamically adjusted based on the demand. Another method of traffic regulation handles packets that arrive at the regulator in accordance with first and second token bucket configurations. The first token bucket regulates packet rate while the second token bucket regulates data rate. Another method of traffic regulation involves handling packets in accordance with a token bucket configuration, where the amount of tokens to be removed is based on the amount of the flow and is further based on a classification of the flow. Packet-level devices for traffic regulation are also contemplated.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing confidential viewing of a fundamental image (65) on an image display device (1) utilizing spatial multiplexing image modification, whereby fundamental image components (67, 73) of the fundamental image are spatially multiplexed or combined (71, 77) with appropriately determined inverted image components (69, 75) so as to neutralize the fundamental image (65) and generate a combined image (79) that appears substantially featureless to the naked eye. The display pixels aligned with the fundamental image components (F11) are cross-polarized relative to the adjacent pixels (I21) aligned with the inverted image components, thereby providing for extraction of the fundamental image by an authorized viewer wearing appropriate eyewear (63) polarized to correlate with the state of polarization of the pixels aligned with the fundamental image components.  Enhanced security may be provided by utilizing a variable polarizer to alter the state of polarization of the respective display regions, or by altering the position of fundamental and inverse image components to align with differently polarized display regions. Extraction of the fundamental image may then be accomplished by using active polarized eyewear synchronized to correlate in polarization with the pixels aligned with the fundamental image components.

Title: Control system for uniform movement of multiple roller shades
Inventor: DOLAN DAVID J
IPC: E06B9/68
Filed: 2005-02-04
Abstract: A system for controlling a roller shade having a roller tube windingly receiving a shade fabric varies roller tube rotational speed for constant linear shade speed. The desired linear shade speed, roller tube diameter and shade fabric thickness and length are stored in a memory for use by a microprocessor. Preferably, the roller tube rotational speed is varied by the microprocessor depending on shade position determined by signals from Hall effect sensors. The microprocessor maintains a counter number that is increased or decreased depending on direction of rotation. Based on the counter number, the microprocessor determines shade position and a corrected rotational speed for the desired linear shade speed. Preferably, the microprocessor controls roller tube rotational speed using a pulse width modulated signal. The system may be used to control first and second roller shades having roller tubes of differing diameters or shade fabrics of varying thicknesses.

Abstract: A system for recommending insulin bolus quantities to an insulin user includes a display unit and memory unit coupled to a control circuit with a user blood glucose target stored in the memory unit. The control circuit is programmed to receive the user's current blood glucose value, to determine and display via the display unit a recommended correction in-sulin bolus quantity if the current blood glucose value exceeds the blood glucose target, to compute a difference value as the current blood glucose value less the blood glucose target, and to produce a modified blood glucose target as a sum of the blood glucose target and the difference value for a lock-out time period if the difference value is positive. Additional correction insulin bolus quantities may be recommended during the lock-out time period if the user's current blood glucose value exceeds the modified blood glucose target.
