Patent number: 7512672Abstract: A method and system for domain name resolution in a communications network including the steps of intercepting communication to and from the network and replacing DNS primary and DNS secondary IP address by an interceptor program. The interceptor program copies then replaces the IP addresses in messages received from the network to a spoof address so that an alternate application will receive the domain name resolution requests. The interceptor program replaces the IP addresses in messages sent to the network from the spoof address to the copied addresses. The alternate application receives the domain name resolution request and replaces the IP address of the request which is the spoof address to the copied IP addresses. The alternate application sends the domain name resolution requests to the copied IP addresses operatively simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2004Date of Patent: March 31, 2009Assignee: Gigaset Communications GmbHInventors: Michael Hightower, James Pickering, Akkampapet Sundarraj

Publication number: 20060063114Abstract: A method of converting a recording element is provided. The method includes providing an imaged recording element having a convertible layer, the convertible layer comprising polymeric particles and a polymeric binder, the polymeric particles having a glass transition temperature Tg1, and the polymeric binder having a glass transition temperature Tg2; heating the convertible layer to a temperature Tp, Tp being greater than Tg1 and Tg2; and converting the heated convertible layer of the recording element by advancing the recording element through a pair of rollers, the first roller of the pair of rollers being maintained at a first temperature T1 and the second roller of the pair of rollers being maintained at a second temperature T2, T1 and T2 being less than Tp, the convertible layer of the recording element becoming a converted layer after advancing through the pair of rollers, wherein the converted layer has an exit temperature Tf, Tf being less than Tp.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2004Publication date: March 23, 2006Inventors: Po-Jen Shih, Arthur Gooray, Timothy Wojcik, Hwei-Ling Yau, James Pickering

Publication number: 20050122383Abstract: A recording element printing and treating system and method are provided. The system includes a printhead for dispensing a liquid comprising a carrier onto a recording element. A carrier removal station positioned downstream from the printhead removes a predetermined percentage of carrier present in the recording element. A converting station positioned downstream from the carrier removal station increases a durability characteristic of the recording element. In one embodiment, printing, carrier removal, and converting are accomplished in a single unit. In an alternative embodiment, printing is accomplished in a stand alone unit while carrier removal and converting are accomplished in a second stand alone unit. In this alternative embodiment, transfer of the recording element can be accomplished automatically using a mechanical device or manually by a system user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2003Publication date: June 9, 2005Inventors: Timothy Wojcik, Arthur Gooray, James Pickering, James Reczek, Hwei-Ling Yau, Po-Jen Shih, Simon Yandila, Charles Scaglione, Kwok-Leung Yip

Publication number: 20050122382Abstract: An apparatus and method of treating a recording element are provided. The apparatus includes a carrier removal station adapted to remove a predetermined percentage of carrier present in the recording element. A converting station is positioned downstream from the carrier removal station and is adapted to increase a durability characteristic of the recording element. A controller is electrically connected to at least one of the carrier removal station and the converting station so that an operating parameter of at least one of the carrier removal station and the converting station is individually adjustable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2003Publication date: June 9, 2005Inventors: James Pickering, Arthur Gooray, Timothy Wojcik, Hwei-Ling Yau, Po-Jen Shih, James Reczek, Simon Yandila, Charles Scaglione, Kwok-Leung Yip

Patent number: 6242965Abstract: Apparatus for producing an oscillating signal in a predetermined phase relationship with an input signal which generates its output signal by mixing in variable proportions two or more reference oscillating signals. Preferably the reference signals should be in quadrature relationship and have approximately the same frequency as the desired output, but this is not essential. The output signal may be desired to be in phase with the input signal or to have a predetermined phase offset. In a further aspect, apparatus is described which generates quadrature related clock signals, which may be used as the reference signals in the phase-lock arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2000Date of Patent: June 5, 2001Assignee: Phoenix VSLI Consultants Ltd.Inventors: Andrew James Pickering, Andrew Keith Joy, Susan Mary Simpson

Patent number: 6121793Abstract: A symmetrical loading and current supply arrangement is described for a differential-type logic means, and symmetrical voltage swings are thereby achieved in the logic output. In a preferred arrangement the output voltages are self-aligned to a CMOS level which facilitate conversion of the differential-type output to CMOS signals.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1998Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Assignee: Phoenix VLSI Consultants LTD.Inventors: Andrew James Pickering, Giuseppe Surace

Patent number: 6005448Abstract: A ring oscillator comprises a ring of delay stages in which the output of each stage is input to the next stage in the ring. Tuning of the oscillation frequency of the oscillator is achieved by additionally taking outputs from delay stages elsewhere in the ring as one or two secondary inputs to each delay stage and mixing this or these in variable proportions with the primary input.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1997Date of Patent: December 21, 1999Assignee: Phoenix Vlsi Consultants, Ltd.Inventors: Andrew James Pickering, Ian Charles Wood

Patent number: 4957094Abstract: A compound bow having improved performance and durability is constructed with buss cables and bowstring made of the same substantially non-stretchable material, a preferred material being a polyethylene fiber material such as that known as "Spectra" material. The buss cables and bowstring each form a continuous length with looped ends. The eccentrics of the bow each provide for the separate direct securement of a looped end of a buss cable and a looped end of a bowstring.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1987Date of Patent: September 18, 1990Assignee: The Hoyt/Easton Archery Company, Inc.Inventors: James A.
