Title: Security system for personal internet communicator
Inventor: DEOBALD MARTYN G
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2006-05-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus to prevent permanent storage of Internet-related files on the hard disk or other permanent storage of a user's personal computer. In an embodiment of the present invention, a portion of the computer's volatile random access memory (RAM) is used to form a RAM disk. This RAM disk is then used to store all Internet-related files related to data exchange over the Internet. When the user's personal computer is turned off, the contents of the RAM disk are erased, thereby deleting all Internet- related files. In another embodiment of the present invention, the RAM disk is populated with a set of predetermined user-specific files immediately after the RAM disk is created. These user-specific files are used to provide a predetermined set of functionality for the user's use of the Internet. In yet another embodiment of the invention, the predetermined set of user-specific files are determined by a unique user identifier (UUID) that is associated with an Internet account provided by an Internet service provider (ISP).

Title: Dynamic spectrum access or cognitive radio networks implementing a dynamic access protocol
Inventor: FAN ZHONG
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2008-07-09
Abstract: The application describes medium access coordination and channel selection for establishment of wireless communications in the context of dynamic spectrum access or cognitive radio networks. Facilitating access coordination to a wireless communications medium defining a plurality of channels is achieved by each node in a network storing information about the channels, including whether a channel is available for use by that node, and when the channel is available for use, a value corresponding to a traffic load on the channel. Nodes monitor for control signals relating to data transmissions and, as some of these control signals include traffic flow information, update their stored information accordingly. Such an approach allows nodes to select the least congested channels during channel access negotiation. Moreover, and in addition or in the alternative, can determine available channel capacity based on transmission activity measurements. The invention aims to address the prior art shortfall of not considering dynamic spectrum access or cognitive radio networks implementing a dynamic channel access protocol in which channel selection is based on traffic demand in order to achieve load balancing and better Quality-of-Service.

Title: Improvements in circuit arrangements for producing flashes of light

Filed: 1955-04-06
Abstract: 788,403. Kinematographic projection. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. April 6, 1955 [April 9, 1954], No. 10086/55. Class 97(1) [Also in Group XXXV] A circuit which produces one or more flashes of light, e.g. for a shutterless film projector, comprises the series combination of a capacitor 5 and a resistor 4 for connection to a D.C. source 3, a discharge circuit shunted across the capacitor 5 and comprising in series a lamp 1 e.g. of the H.P.M.V. type a controlled gas or vapourfilled discharge tube 2 an impedance 9 and a switch 13, a first means not shown for initiating the capacitor discharge by applying a voltage pulse to the tube 2 to make it conductive thereby causing the lamp 1 to flash, and second means to operate the switch 13 in response to a control voltage developed across the impedance 9. As shown the second means comprises a pair of rectifier tubes 10, 11 fed from an A.C. means via a transformer 12 and supplying direct current to the winding 8 of a relay which operates the switch 13, and the impedance 9 is connected between the grids and cathodes of the tubes 10, 11. The control voltage from impedance 9 renders tubes 10, 11 non-conductive, but when the circuit operates normally the light flashes and hence the control voltage pulses are of such short duration that the mean current in winding 8 is sufficient to maintain switch 13 closed. However should the relay tube 2 fail to become non-conductive at the end of any light flash period the production of continuous light by the source 3 feeding direct to the lamp 1 is prevented by the control voltage from impedance 9 shutting off the tubes 10, 11 thereby opening switch 13.
