Patent CA-2676876-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BESHAI MAGED E
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2009-08-27
Abstract: Switch elements, each receiving data from external sources and transmitting data to external sinks, are interconnected through a single rotator to form a switching node. The single rotator has a number of inlets equal to the number of switch elements and a number of outlets equal to the number of switch elements. A first set of channels connects the switch elements to inlets of the rotator and a second set of channels connects the outlets of the rotator to the switch elements. The connectivity pattern of the second set of channels is a transposition of the connectivity pattern of the first set of channels in order to preserve sequential data order of switched data. A  controller communicatively coupled to the switch elements exchanges timing data with external nodes of a time-coherent network and schedules data transfer among the switch elements.

Title: Distributed management of native interface metadata and arrays
Inventor: JOHNSON GRAEME
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2009-09-25
Abstract: An illustrative embodiment provides a computer-implemented process for distributed management of native interface arrays. The computer-implemented process obtains an array type native interface call in a first system from a caller in a second syste m, identifies an array type of the array type native interface call to form an identified array typ e and requests array elements associated with the identified array type to form requested array elements, wherein added metadata is associated with the requested array elements. The computer - implemented process builds an enhanced data structure using the requested array elements and the associated added metadata and returns a pointer within the enhanced data structure to t he caller, wherein the pointer can be used by the caller to manipulate array data of the array elements and the first system can calculate an address of the added metadata in constant time from the pointer.

Title: Configurator process and system
Inventor: VECORE JAMES CALVIN
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2009-09-09
Abstract: A configurator that creates multi angle images of a product that can be configured with options, accessories, colors and the like in 2d imagery, which does not require special software or hardware to view and interact with the configurator. The configurator automatically generates layer logic of how the product can be assembled for use in a configurator engine to manage the relationships of the 2d art layers. The approach outlined here has moved the linking and logic to the generation phase of the layers thereby automatically generating the configuration logic file at rendering that can be used by a simple program to assemble the layers for a visual interface. Essentially, 2d images are created in a layering scheme from 3d models that can be assembled into any combination based on logic to support various configurations of products. The layering scheme approach prevents the need to render complete product image for each combination including breaking into most/least common factors in separate layers and assembling after the fact. Optimization reduces the number of combinations required for multi-angle images of a configured product. The imagery and logic can be updated without as much manual involvement.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to various embodiments of a communication device. In a one embodiment, a current conversation among a plurality of conversations is selected at the communication device. For the selected conversation, media received and associated with the selected conversation is rendered on the device, while media created on the device and associated with the selected conversation is transmitted from the device to the participants of the selected conversation. The media associated with the non-selected conversations is stored on the communication device for later review. In a second embodiment, the plurality of conversations may be consecutively rendered on the device using a priority order. As media for the plurality of conversations is received, the available media of the highest priority conversation is rendered while the media of the other conversations is rendered in a time-shifted mode. The priority order is continually updated so that all the received media is eventually rendered. In yet another embodiment, the media of the plurality of conversations may be simultaneously rendered and stored. With this embodiment, one of the conversations may be selected for review. During the review period, the received media of the other conversations is stored, but not rendered.

Title: Method for testing a mechanical integrity of an insulating layer covering a conductor in a cable
Inventor: COTE JACQUES
IPC: G01N19/08
Filed: 2008-12-10
Abstract: A method for testing a mechanical integrity of an insulating layer covering a conductor in a cable, a longitudinal void being defined inside the insulating layer in a region of the conductor. A  first end of the insulating layer is blocked. A compressed gas is injected at a second end of the insulating layer so that the gas enters and travels the longitudinal void inside the insulating layer towards the first end. A gas pressure inside the insulating layer is measured at least near the second end. Injection of the compressed gas is stropped after a predetermined injection time period. A variation of the gas pressure inside the insulating layer is monitored during a diagnostic time window succeeding to a transitional time period following the stopping of the injection. Integrity of the insulating layer is determined based on the variation of the gas pressure during the diagnostic time window.

Abstract: Methods for fragmenting ions in an ion trap are described.

The excitation time interval and the first elevated-pressure duration substantially overlap in time.
