Abstract: A filter assembly (20) is described that includes a sub-stantially recyclable filter cartridge (30) inside a pressure vessel (22). The invented filter cartridge comprises substantially non-pressure bearing walls, except for a pressure-bearing neck (44) that is adapted to with-stand high pressures preferably in the range of about 500 psi (34,47. 105 Pa) from the inside. The walls of the filter cartridge that are incapable of withstanding significant internal pressure are surronded on the outside by a pressure vessel (22). The invented cartridge need not seal et the pressure vessel, because the cartridge neck (44) protrudes outside of the pressure vessel (22) to seal directly to a filter head. The, cartridge preferably includes a quick-disassembly mechanism for allowing quick and non-destructive access to the internal components and media of the cartridge.

Abstract: When the recording mode of an information recording/playback device is a cognizant mode which analyzes embedded copy control information, the information recording/playback device performs content encryption using a content-encryption key generated by using a cognizant key as a content-encryption-key generating key in the cognizant mode. When the recording mode of the information recording/playback device is a non-cognizant mode which does not analyze the embedded copy control information, the information recording/playback device performs content encryption using a content-encryption key generated by using a cognizant key as a content-encryption-key generating key in the non-cognizant mode. By using these techniques, the above two recording modes are clearly distinguished and separately executed. This prevents an encryption mode indicator as copy control information and embedded copy control information from being mismatched. <IMAGE>
