Abstract: Signature schema documents, pre-defined using a query language, provide instructions for application by an engine to transcode web pages of respective web sites. Signature schema instructions identify a web page family for a web page and extract a subset of data from the web page in accordance with its web page family, each family defined by a shared template. The instructions use signatures previously identified for web pages of the same family to distinguish the family from others of the web site and to distinguish the subset of data from other data for the web page family. A gateway server may proxy requests from a client machine (e.g. a wireless communication device) and use the engine to provide transcoded web page responses. Signature schema instructions may be maintained in a repository coupled to the engine. Extracted data may be cached to a database coupled to the engine.

Abstract: A video encoding apparatus and a corresponding method for applying orthogonal transformation to a prediction error signal between a video signal of an encoding target area and a predicted signal for the video signal, and quantizing an obtained orthogonal transformation coefficient by using a preset quantization step size so as to encode the coefficient. A prediction error power which is a power of the prediction error signal is computed. For input information such as the computed prediction error power, the preset quantization step size, and an upper limit of an amount of code generated for the encoding target area, it is determined whether or not an amount of code generated when performing quantization using the preset quantization step size exceeds the upper limit. An encoding process is changed based on a result of the determination.

Abstract: The inventive idea is that paper can be used for disposable cup lids if a different method of mounting on the cup and sealing principles are employed.   Contrary to the typical thermoformed plastic lids, which work by way of a clamping groove around the rim of the cup, our paper based lid follows the inside shape of the cup and goes against the inner wall of the cup. It is using wall-to-wall pressure between the inner upper surface of the cup and the outer surface of the lid.   This fundamentally different approach to form and function of hot drink disposable lids leverages the inherent material properties of paper in order to create a consistent disposable material base (same for cup and lid), without compromising the fluid-tight sealing effect of thermoformed plastic disposable lids.

Abstract: The process by which materials are applied to a plastic fishing lure surface, thus producing a lure that possesses chromatic vicissitude as a result of water temperature fluctuations. At the onset of this process, a non-thermochromatic base layer of one or more colours is applied to the plastic fishing lure. This layer acts as the visual appearance of the fishing lure in the absence of temperature fluctuations. Clear extender is then used as an additive to the thermochromatic ink. This addition to the ink then allows the ink to be sprayed onto the surface of the lure. This ink-extender amalgam can be applied in multiple layers however; the bottom layer must have the least amount of hue saturation. Each layer thereafter would increase in hue saturation.  Multiple hue combinations can be utilized. Once the desired number of thermochromatic layers has been applied, an ultra clear super high gloss lacquer finish is sprayed on to the exterior of all layers.

Abstract: A low energy stepper motor driven fuel metering valve (FMV) that eliminates the need for a position sensor is provided.  The stepper motor rotates a cam that replaces the flapper valve used in conventional systems. The cam rotation increases the gap between the cam and nozzle on one side of the cam. The gap difference affects the pressures on the spool piston ends, which forces the piston in the direction that will return the cam-nozzle gap to a distance that results in a pressure balance to return.  As a result, the relatively low energy stepper motor controls the relatively high energy hydromechanical system via the cam-nozzle-orifice system. The cam is precision machined and assures stroke/degree gain accuracy.  The hydraulic system assures the piston tracks the cam essentially perfectly except for the effects of piston stiction forces.

Abstract: Aspects relate to authorizing mobile devices for PBX-based voice services. A mobile device calls a PBX over a voice channel, and phone number identifier information is obtained and matched to identifier information for devices that known (authorizeable) to use the PBX. If there is one incoming call that matches to a given device, and an authentication token provided over a data channel matches an authentication token associated with that device, then the device is authorized for voice services. Where there are multiple matching calls, those devices are instructed to provide authentication tokens over their voice channels. The devices can detect absence of a data channel and provide authentication tokens over the voice channels; the devices also can wait to receive a call connected response and in the absence of such provide their authentication tokens over the voice channel. Tokens can be requested and downloaded for storage at the devices.

The laser beam (46) is characterized by a peak power density in the range of about 10 megawatts/cm2 to about 10 gigawatts/cm2. In another embodiment, a high-power, short-pulsed, high repetition rate laser beam is directed to a region (62) on the substrate (64) which includes the cavity (60), under laser operational conditions which are capable of cutting into the superalloy material; so that a boundary region (66) is formed within the substrate, which encloses the cavity. The cavity can be a crack in a turbine blade, and the crack (60) can be repaired after treatment, by welding, or by another suitable technique.
