Patent number: 9782904Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for cutting a facestock on a liner. An anvil roller receives facestock on liner. A cutting roller, under a force, cuts facestock between the cutting roller and the anvil roller. At least one support roller supports the cutting roller and, optionally, the anvil roller, thereby distributing the force into two or more portions and/or subportions, in two or more directions. Apparatuses, methods and kits for preparing a cutting surface of a cutting roller in a facestock cutting apparatus, or for extending the usefulness of a cutting roller. An equalizer roller is provided in a position adjacent to the cutting roller. The equalizer roller has an equalizing surface having a hardness at least as hard as a hardness of the cutting surface. The cutting roller is rotated against the equalizer roller such that the cutting surface is equalized by the equalizing surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2016Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: ETI Converting EquipmentInventors: Francois Bayzelon, Eric Ouellet, Denis Blouin, Jean-Francois Poirier

Patent number: 7965734Abstract: The terminal device has a network transceiver and a processor having a first program to cause the processor to transmit a packet of data using the network transceiver in accordance with a data transmission protocol. The first program begins transmission of a packet by sending data to a transmit signal input of the network transceiver in accordance with the protocol. At a circuit level associated with the network transceiver, a received signal in the transceiver is detected at a time of sending data to the transmit signal input. In response to this detection, transmission of the packet is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2005Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Paradox Security Systems Ltd.Inventor: Jean-François Poirier

Publication number: 20080189381Abstract: The present invention relates to a closed system having multiple electronic devices and to a method of communicating between electronic devices in a closed system. The method and system encode at least one output of a master device using an encoding code specific to the master device, transmit the encoded at least one output to a respective at least one slave device, and decode at each slave device the received encoded output of the master device using a decoding code that is symmetrical to the encoding code. More particularly, the system includes a master device and at least one slave device in communication with the master device. The master device comprises a master processor and an encoding module configured to encode at least one output of the master device using an encoding code specific to the master device. Each slave device comprises a slave processor and a decoding module configured to decode the output of the master device using a decoding code that is symmetrical to the encoding code.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2008Publication date: August 7, 2008Applicant: UNIVERSAL DATA PROTECTION CORPORATIONInventor: Jean-Francois POIRIER

Publication number: 20080002735Abstract: The network uses detection of collision based on start bit transmission under poor transmission line conditions and with a large number of devices on the network. Data throughput is double that of CSMA-CA for the same network conditions. Some network devices operate with dual protocols. The network device has a network transceiver and a processor that uses an interrupt to detect transmission on the line for start bit detection.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2007Publication date: January 3, 2008Applicant: PARADOX SECURITY SYSTEMS LTD.Inventors: Jean-Francois POIRIER, Pascal TURCOTTE

Publication number: 20070172053Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate generally to methods and systems for microprocessor data security, involving data encryption and decryption of stored data in, or in communication with, a computer microprocessor. Such encryption and decryption can be performed on a per-byte basis. Such encryption and decryption involves performing a logic operation on the byte using a decryption key or encryption key to generate a respective decrypted byte or encrypted byte. The key can be fixed or variable or a combination of both. The key is encoded in a dedicated hard-wired key circuit within the microprocessor and accessible to encryption and decryption circuitry within the microprocessor.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2006Publication date: July 26, 2007Inventor: Jean-Francois Poirier
