  • Patent number: 8478110
    Abstract: A digital television recorder to record television programs, having a recording section to record data onto a storage medium, a filter to identify from a received transport stream, data of a television program for recording, a timer to be set with a time and, at that time, to start the recording onto the storage medium, data of the television program received from the filter, and a cache to store data of the interactive services associated with the television programs and provided in the respective transport streams. The filter identifies data of interactive services associated with the television programs, the timer starts, at a predetermined interval before the time, acquisition of the data of interactive services and storing acquired data of interactive services in the cache, and the recording section records, immediately prior to starting recording the data of the television program, the content of the cache to the storage medium.

  • Publication number: 20110297476
    Abstract: A marine seismic source comprises a housing having a central axis, an open end, and a closed end opposite the open end. In addition, the source comprises a piston coaxially disposed within the housing. In addition, the source comprises a flywheel disposed within the housing and axially positioned between the closed end and the piston. The flywheel is configured to rotate about a rotational axis. Further, the source comprises a connecting rod moveably coupling the piston to the flywheel. The connecting rod has a first end pivotally coupled to the piston and a second end pivotally coupled to the flywheel. The second end of the connecting rod has a first position at a first distance measured radially from the rotational axis, and a second position at a second distance measured radially from the rotational axis. The first distance is less than the second distance.

  • Publication number: 20100233032
    Abstract: A cartridge is used in apparatus for analysing a sample comprising a fluid and has a sample receiving cell which receives the fluid for analysis. The cell comprises a surface on one of two housing parts (120; 200; 300; 102; 202; 302) and a sensor comprising an electrical-mechanical transducer (92; 240; 340) spaced from said surface. The sensor is attached to one of the housing parts by an adhesive membrane (100; 246; 346) wherein the membrane is attached only to one of said parts of housing so that any slight relative movement or flexing of the housing parts does not result in forces being applied to the sensor via the membrane.

  • Patent number: 7080305
    Abstract: A system and method for correcting data errors. A system for correcting errors in blocks of data received over a communication medium includes an error history unit coupled to an error correction unit. The error history unit may maintain information associated with each bit position of the blocks of data in which a correctable error has occurred. The error correction unit may perform an error correction on a given block of data using an error correction code capable of correcting at least a single bit error and detecting multiple bit errors. Further, in response to detecting a multiple bit error, the error correction unit may correct subsequent errors in the given block of data dependent upon the information maintained by the error history unit.

  • Patent number: 6282600
    Abstract: A method and implementing system are provided in which a service processor is implemented in addition to system processors. The service processor is enabled to access system on-chip registers to acquire system data through the use of the system JTAG bus connections. In one embodiment, logic is provided to determine concurrent calls for use of the same registers by both the system processor(s) and also by the service processor through the JTAG bus. In case of concurrent requests, the JTAG data are held so as not to interfere with system operations until the system processor's use of the registers has been completed.

  • Patent number: 6157933
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for loading multiple animated images on a Web page during browsing over a network with limited bandwidth. The method comprising the steps of: (1) retrieving hypertext objects containing a Java applet from servers over a network into a browser utilizing a Java engine for running Java applets; (2) displaying a default image and default image effects by the Java applet; and (3) the Java applet retrieving a target image series comprising a series of related images from the server and loading the target image series one image at a time with screen transition effects in between each image so that a speed of the screen transition effects is set to finish when a next image in the image series is retrieved over the network of limited bandwidth and prepared for loading by said Java applet, thereby making the speed of the screen transition effects proportional to a time required to retrieved the next image in the image series.

  • Patent number: 6067644
    Abstract: A processor operable for processing an instruction through a plurality of internal stages will produce a result of the processing of the process at each stage or a reason code why the stage was unable to process the instruction. The result or the reason code will then be passed to a subsequent stage, which will attempt to process the instruction. The second stage will forward the reason code when it cannot produce its own result and it is idle. The second stage will create its own reason code when it is not idle but cannot produce a result, and will forward this reason code.

  • Patent number: 6061797
    Abstract: A firewall isolates computer and network resources inside the firewall from networks, computers and computer applications outside the firewall. Typically, the inside resources could be privately owned databases and local area networks (LAN's), and outside objects could include individuals and computer applications operating through public communication networks such as the Internet. Usually, a firewall allows for an inside user or object to originate connection to an outside object or network, but does not allow for connections to be generated in the reverse direction; i.e. from outside in. The disclosed invention provides a special "tunneling" mechanism, operating on both sides of a firewall, for establishing such "outside in" connections when they are requested by certain "trusted" individuals or objects or applications outside the firewall.
