Patent CA-2389133-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HULSHOFF PIETER
IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 2002-06-05
Abstract: A method is described for transporting information in frames comprising header and payload information from a first network to a second network via a third network. The first and second networks are commonly managed but are independent of management of the third network. Network nodes generate respective headers for each outgoing frame from the node but completely copies payload from an incoming frame to the outgoing frames. Upon crossing a first boundary between the first and third networks, only a first part of the header is copied into the payload such that a reduced size header in the third network fits into space that would otherwise be occupied by a second part of the header that is not copied into the payload. Upon crossing a second boundary between the third and second networks, the headers are retrieved from the payload and used to generate header information in the second network.

Title: Couplage de la lumiere emise par une source lumineuse a une cible au moyen de deux reflecteurs ellipsoidaux
Inventor: LI KENNETH K
IPC: F21Y101/00
Filed: 2001-03-12
Abstract: Système optique de condensation et de regroupement comprenant un premier réflecteur et un deuxième réflecteur. Ce premier et ce deuxième réflecteur comprennent une partie d'un ellipsoïde de révolution possédant deux foyers et un axe optique. Une source de rayonnement électromagnétique est placée au niveau de l'un des foyers du premier réflecteur afin de produire un rayonnement convergent vers le deuxième foyer du premier réflecteur. Les deuxièmes foyers des réflecteurs coïncident. Le deuxième réflecteur est placé de manière à recevoir le rayonnement après son passage à travers un deuxième foyer du deuxième réflecteur et concentre le rayonnement en direction d'une cible placée au niveau du premier foyer du deuxième réflecteur. Dans le but d'obtenir un éclairage maximum de la cible, le premier et le deuxième réflecteur présentent pratiquement la même dimension et la même forme et sont positionnés en symétrie optique l'un par rapport à l'autre, de sorte que le rayonnement réfléchi par une partie de surface du premier réflecteur ellipsoïdal est ensuite réfléchi par une partie de surface correspondante du deuxième réflecteur ellipsoïdal afin d'atteindre une amplification unitaire entre la source et son image focalisée. Ces réflecteurs ellipsoïdaux peuvent comprendre des parties non ellipsoïdales ou peuvent être éventuellement remplacés par des réflecteurs sphériques ou toroïdaux.
Patent CA-2402847-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BERGSTROM ROGER
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2001-03-22
Abstract: Method for ordering and transmission of digital data, particularly video signals, from a transmitter to a single receiver or a group of receivers where other transmission channels are searched for finding a reasonable alternative.  A data signal is sent with a request for transmission of a determined video signal from a receiver to a transmitter. A data packet (I1), being a first part of the signal, is transmitted from the transmitter over a satellite channel. A following part of the signal is transmitted as another data packet (I2) over a narrowband communication channel, such as a low-cost internet channel. Supervision of the received, non-used data amount is carried out in a buffer storage at the receiver. By registering non-used data (buffer amount) at the receiver below a certain level a warning signal will be sent from the receiver to the transmitter. When receiving this warning signal the transmitter initiates transmission to the receiver of a further data packet (I1') of the signal over the satellite channel, for thereafter continuing with transmission of a further signal amount (I2') over the narrowband channel.  This alternating transmission will be continued to save transmission capacity over the satellite connection and at the same time to maintain a transmission capacity which results in a satisfying data content in the transmitted signal.

Title: Data protection system that protects data by encrypting the data
Inventor: NAKANO TOSHIHISA
IPC: H04N21/2347
Filed: 2002-03-28
Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a data protection system that reduces to a degree the amount of encrypted data that is distributed to a multiplicity of terminals, and that has a structure in which a terminal whose decryption keys are exposed by a dishonest party is made unable to decrypte the data correctly, while other terminals are able to decrypt the data correctly. The present invention is a data protection system that includes a multiplicity of terminals, and an encryption device that encrypts distribution data that is distributed to each terminal. Each terminal is corresponded with one node on a lowest level of 4-ary tree structure or the like that has a plurality of hierarchies. The data protection system, for each node in the tree structure, excluding those on the lowest level, determines a plurality of combination patterns that include combinations of two or more of all four nodes that are reached one level below the node, decides an individual decryption key for each determined combination pattern, further decides an individual decryption key for each node on the lowest level, and has each terminal store all decryption keys decided for the nodes on the path from the node on the lowest level that corresponds to the terminal through to the node on the highest level. The data protection system prescribes nodes reached from the node on the lowest level that corresponds to the terminal through to the node on the highest level that correspond to a terminal that has been dishonestly analyzed as invalid nodes. For invalid nodes, other than invalid nodes on the lowest level, the data protection system designates an encryption key that corresponds to the decryption key decided in correspondence with the combination pattern that combines all nodes, excluding invalid nodes, of the four nodes that are reached one level below the node, and has the encryption device encrypt distribution data that uses each of the designated encryption keys.

Title: Method and system for effective utilizing the switching capacity of local exchanges
Inventor: SEGEV AHARON
IPC: H04Q3/60
Filed: 2001-09-24
Abstract: To support a changing volume of voice-grade traffic in an access network having a local exchange with a limited capacity, there are proposed the following method. First, there are provided access networks each having its subscribers and its associated local exchange. Each of the access networks i s capable of dividing traffic, outgoing from its subscribers, into voice-grade  and data traffic portions, and capable of directing the data traffic portion  to a packet network while directing the voice-grade traffic portion to a PST N network via the associated local exchange. An overload condition is defined when traffic transmitted through a local exchange is equal or exceeds a predetermined threshold, while a normal load condition of the local exchange  occurs when traffic is below the predetermined threshold. Upon detecting an overload condition in a local exchange (LE1), a search for another (LE2) loc al exchange that is in a normal load condition is conducted. Once found, the voice-grade traffic intended for local exchange LE1 is partially diverted an d transmitted to its destination via the packet network and the local exchange  LE2, thereby reducing volume of the voice-grade traffic transmitted via LE1.
