Patent CA-2393771-A1 (CA)
Title: Non real-time delivery of mpeg-2 programs via an mpeg-2 transport stream
Inventor: ELSTERMANN ERIK JOHN
IPC: H04N7/52
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: Digital content is extracted from single and multiple-program transport streams for subsequent non-real-time (background) transmission in a bandwidth-efficient manner. At an encoder (100), several null and/or nonessential (N/N) packets (e.g., packets of unused programs) in a transport stream are replaced by an annotation packet (AP) to obtain non-real-time packets (410). The non-real time packets are inserted into null packet locations (NU) of a real time transport stream. At a decoder (200), the annotation packets are used to regenerate a specified number of null packets to maintain the original separation of packets of the non-real time data (for timing purposes), allowing existing hardware and/or software to decode the selected program.  Optionally, the non-real-time packets provide pre-encrypted programs, and decryption information is distributed to the decoders at a formal program release time specified by the program provider.

Title: Improved analyte sensor and method of making the same
Inventor: VAN ANTWERP NANNETTE
IPC: G01N27/28
Filed: 2001-02-09
Abstract: A sensor (400) and method of making the same for implantation in a body that includes a substrate (402) with notches (406) cut in the substrate to form a necked down region (412) in the substrate;  and at least one sensor electrode (404) formed from one or more conductive layers. Preferably, the thickness of the substrate (402) ranges from approximately 25 µ to 350 µ, but the thickness of the substrate can range from 5 µ to 750 µ. The sensor may be incorporated into a sensor assembly including a slotted needle (408) having a slot (410). The notches (406) creating the necked down region (412) allow the substrate (402) to slide into the slotted needle, which has the slot narrow enough to permit passage of the necked down region. However, a non-necked down region (414) of the substrate is prevented from pulling out of the slotted needle (408) through the slot (410). The slot (410) of the slotted needle (408) may also permit the necked down region (412) of the substrate (402) to slide down the slot.
