| 20100027995 | GANGED OPTICAL SWITCH - A ganged optical switch comprising at least one wavelength selective ganged optical switching element, first and second sets of input ports, and first and second sets of output ports. Optical signals entering one of the first set of input ports can be routed, in a first routing, via the at least one ganged optical switching element to one of the second set of output ports, and optical signals entering one of the first set of input ports can be routed, in a second routing, via the at least one ganged optical switching element to one of the second set of output ports. The ganged optical switching element ensures that the first and second routings are interdependent. In one embodiment, some of the output ports are shared between the first and second sets of output ports. ROADMs and protection switching applications of the ganged optical switches of the invention are also disclosed. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100027998 | OPTICAL ROUNDABOUT SWITCH - An optical roundabout comprising optical switching elements arranged in a ring, the routing of the inputs of each internal optical switch to its outputs being ganged, each internal optical switching element having add and drop ports, and connected to its next optical switching element around the ring by an optical waveguide. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20110270054 | ASSAY FOR POSITIONING A FEEDING TUBE AND METHOD THEREOF - The present invention discloses a bedside or point of care assay for properly positioning a feeding tube in the stomach of a patient based on detecting the presence of a hydrolytic enzyme found in the stomach by an ester substrate which can be impregnated on a pH strip. The application of this test reduces the risk of tube misplacement and the resulting harm to the patient that occurs in the event of tube misplacement. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20100159907 | DYNAMIC CONFIGURABLE TRANSACTION SYSTEM - The present invention relates to the field of electronic transactions and more particularly concerns a dynamic configurable transaction system capable of dynamically configuring a transaction terminal and dynamically processing a transactional operation, as well as to a method associated thereto. There is provided a dynamic configurable transaction system enabling a user to complete a transactional operation through a central server. The system comprises a transaction terminal in communication with the central server via a system network and a server application at the central server. The transaction terminal includes a user interface allowing to exchange input and output information related to the transactional operation with the user and a terminal application in communication with the user interface, the terminal application comprising updatable configuration parameters and a transaction module for dynamically building a transaction flow related to the transactional operation based on the input information received via the user interface and on the updatable configuration parameters. The server application comprises a configuration update module for preparing updated configuration parameters and transmitting the updated configuration parameters to the transaction terminal. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110011931 | One-Card Transaction Management System - A transaction management system enabling a user to perform a transaction using a neutral card at a point-of-sale unit in communication with a central server via a system network is provided. The system includes a terminal application at the point-of-sale unit and a data storage module connected to the central server, having a user profile corresponding to the neutral card. The user profile is linked to a plurality of transaction accounts and defines one or more specification for each transaction account linked thereto, each specification being associated to a weight. The system further including a server application at the central server for associating the card information to the corresponding user profile, generating one or more transaction scenario based on the transaction data and the weight of each specification of each transaction account linked to the user profile, and transmitting the transaction scenario(s) to the point-of-sale unit. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20080258953 | DIGITIZING AN ANALOG SIGNAL, AND RECONSTITUTING AN ANALOG SIGNAL FROM A DIGITIZED VERSION OF THE ANALOG SIGNAL - An embodiment of an audio-signal digitizer includes a modulator and a converter. The modulator is operable to receive an analog audio signal, and is operable to angle modulate a carrier signal with the analog audio signal to generate a modulated analog signal having an average amplitude. The converter is operable to convert the modulated analog signal into a digital signal having a first level in response to the modulated signal having an amplitude larger than approximately the average amplitude and having a second level in response to the modulated signal having an amplitude smaller than approximately the average amplitude. Because such a digitizer uses angle modulation to digitize an analog audio signal, the resulting digital audio signal may retain higher frequencies of the analog audio signal than a digital audio signal obtained by amplitude sampling would retain. And the retaining of higher frequencies may introduce less distortion into the reconstituted audio and acoustic signals. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20110225872 | Sinker for Fishing - A sinker or float that releasably clamps around a line, such as a fishing line, including two members shaped to define a channel for the line when in a closed position. A locking means is provided to releasably lock the two members in the closed position. Each of the members has at least a portion of high or low density material to provide a sinking or floating effect. A jacket may be provided that retains the high or low density material therein. The jacket may also include a hinge portion such that the two members can be hingedly opened and closed. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20080240233 | ENTROPY CODING FOR VIDEO PROCESSING APPLICATIONS - An entropy coding apparatus. In a specific embodiment, the entropy coding apparatus, includes a renormalization process and an encode-decision process that communicates with the renormalization process. The encode-decision process is adapted to run in parallel with the renormalization process without the renormalization process being nested therein. In a more specific embodiment, the entropy coding apparatus includes an entropy encoder that is H.264 compliant. The encode-decision process includes a first .mechanism for pre-computing certain parameters to eliminate the need to nest the renormalization process within the encode-decision process. The renormalization process and the encode-decision process are components of a Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC) module. | 10-02-2008 |
