Filed:

Dec 8, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/733195

Inventors:

Frederick A. Lee - New York NY 10012

International Classification:

F41A 1700

US Classification:

142 7001, 42 7011

Abstract:

The invention is a handgun in which the spring-loaded slide is replaced by an electric motor, engageable only upon an authorized user entering an access code. A combination rechargeable battery and keypad engages the butt of the handle where the magazine well is located and includes an electrical plug the fits into the handle, making an electrical connection between the battery and a microprocessor in the handgun. Entering the proper code on the keypad allows the microprocessor to complete the circuit between the battery and a motor that actuates the slide. When the device is not in use, the magazine having been removed, the motor then moves the slide rearward, ejecting any cartridge in the chamber, and maintains the slide in a position where the chamber is always open, thereby making obvious to anyone that the gun is not loaded.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

719328000

Abstract:

A mediator host is provided for identifying services of networked resources which are available for invocation in a grid computing architecture. A mediator host Application Program Interface (API) is configured to receive a service registry query and related resource query. The API identifies the service registry query and related resource query by signature. A service registry query processing agent is configured receive an identified service registry query from the API, and, to communicate with a corresponding service registry to satisfy the query. A resource query processing agent is configured to receive an identified related resource query from the API, and, to communicate with a corresponding resource registry to satisfy the query. The mediator host returns a service query response which satisfies a predetermined resource metric to identify candidate services for invocation.

Assignee:

FRANCE TELECOM - Paris

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709226

Abstract:

A method is provided for accounting the usage of networked resources and/or services available for invocation in a grid computing architecture, said grid computing architecture including a grid middleware for invoking said services and/or resources, said method comprising the act of receiving at least one resource and/or one service available for invocation, retrieving through a database contract information related to said available resource and/or service, said contract comprising at least cost data for invoking said resource and/or service, collecting from the grid middleware a usage message, said usage message including usage information related to at least one service and/or resource that have been actually invoked on said grid middleware, and accounting the usage based on said usage message and the cost data from the contract information.

International Classification:

G11C 16/26

US Classification:

3651852

Abstract:

A starting read threshold is received. A first offset and a second offset is determined. A first read is performed at the starting read threshold offset by the first offset to obtain a first hard read value and a second read is performed at the starting read threshold offset by the second offset to obtain a second hard read value. A soft read value is generated based at least in part on the first hard read value and the second hard read value.

International Classification:

G06F 1/32

US Classification:

714 472

Abstract:

A read back bit sequence and charge constraint information are obtained. A lower bound on a number of bit errors associated with the read back bit sequence is determined based at least in part on the read back bit sequence and the charge constraint information. The lower bound and an error correction capability threshold associated with an error correction decoder are compared. In the event the lower bound is greater than or equal to the error correction capability threshold, an error correction decoding failure is predicted and in response to the prediction a component is configured to save power.

US Classification:

33199R

Abstract:

A workpiece gaging system includes carriage structure for a gaging part, movable longitudinally and laterally, and a rotor to rotate that structure; also indicator means is operatively connected with the part to indicate the status of engagement, displacement, or need for displacement, of the gaging part relative to a surface or surfaces (such as pipe threads) to be gaged, as at multiple locations. Measurement encoding and signal processing means are also provided.

Appl. No.:

8/766331

Inventors:

Frederick A. Lee - New York NY

International Classification:

H04N 718

US Classification:

348144

Abstract:

An aircraft surveillance and recording system adapted to monitor conditions prevailing in the course of a flight and provided for this purpose with video cameras placed at different sites on the plane. The output signals yielded by the video cameras are fed to an on-board radio-frequency transmitter to modulate a radio-frequency carrier that is radiated from the plane and intercepted by an active communication satellite. The satellite relays the signals to a ground recording station whose stored recording of the real time images from the cameras is available to investigators should an accident or other incident occur in the course of the flight. The system includes at least four video cameras, the first of which has an audio function and is trained on the flight crew in the cockpit of the plane. The second video camera is focused on the instrument panel and controls in the cockpit. The third camera which has an audio function looks into the passenger cabin, while the fourth camera is mounted on top of the aircraft rudder to observe exterior surface control movements, such as those of flaps, ailerons and elevators.

Appl. No.:

9/059493

Inventors:

Frederick A. Lee - New York NY

International Classification:

B62D 2100

US Classification:

280 801

Abstract:

An automobile having a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels provided with run-flat tires. The front tired wheels which are steerable are driven through a power transmission by an engine housed between these wheels. The tired front wheels are relatively narrow in width to make room for a large engine and are relatively large in diameter to afford a more favorable power transmission ratio and improved steering control. The tired rear-wheels are broad in width and small in diameter to enhance the tire-to-road surface area for more effective braking and to allow for an enlarged trunk capacity.
