IPC: H04B7/26

Abstract: Local mobility within a subnet is supported by classifying wireless base
stations, and the routers used to forward packets to those base stations, within
defined domains. Domains are defined to incorporate a subnet having a plurality
of base stations. Base stations are used by mobile devices to attach to the
wired portion of a packet-based network, such as the Internet, and exchange
packets thereover with a correspondent node. Packets sent from the
correspondent node to the mobile device have a packet destination address
corresponding to the mobile device. The mobile device retains this address for
the duration of time it is powered up and attached to the Internet via any base
station within a given domain. Host-based routing is utilized to update routing
table entries corresponding to the mobile device at routers incorporated within a
single domain. The routing table entries are established and updated via path
setup schemes to convey packets destined for the mobile device along the
proper established path through the domain routers and base stations,
regardless of the domain base station through which the mobile device is
attached. Path setup schemes utilize power up, refresh, and handoff path setup
messages to maintain the proper relationship between router interfaces and
packet addresses for routing table entries.

Abstract: The cassette accommodation case has such a structure that a cassette
(10) is accommodated by being laterally inserted from an inserting mouth portion
(2) provided on one side surface thereof, and inside thereof, the rotation stopping
projecting tabs (8) which engage with hubs (14) in the cassette (10) to prevent the
rotation thereof are provided capable of rising and falling, to make it sure to
prevent the hubs (14) from unnecessarily rotating by the rotation stopping
projecting tabs (8). With the cassette accommodation case (1) according to the
present invention, the rotation stopping projecting tabs (8) are each comprised by
parallelly providing two tabs (8a and 8b) as a set in a cassette inserting direction.
Due to this arrangement, in a case where one tab of the rotation stopping
projecting tabs (8) does not revert to an erect state and resultantly does not engage
with the hubs (14), another tab engages with the hubs (14), thereby making it
possible to surely prevent the hubs (14) from unnecessarily rotating.

IPC: H04N1/387

Abstract: Techniques for secure distribution of digital representations that combine encryption and watermarking. When a user at a client desires to download a digital representation, the user makes a request to a server for the digital representation, which encrypts the digital representation using a first key and downloads the encrypted digital representation to the user. Before the user performs any operation on the decrypted digital representation, a secret fingerprint watermark identifying the user is added to the digital representation. The fingerprint watermark is added either at the server or at the client and a copy of the fingerprinted digital representation is kept at the server. If the user makes an impermissible use of the digital representation, the secret fingerprint watermark can be used to identify the user. The request made by the user indicates the type of use that the user wished to make of the digital representation. If the use involves storage of the digital representation at the client, the server provides a second key that the client employs to encrypt the digital representation. If the user has permission to do so, the user may modify the digital representation and return the modified digital representation to the server for further distribution. In this case, the second key is used to encrypt the digital representation when it is sent to the server. The second key also serves as the user identification in the fingerprint watermark. If the user loses the second key, it can be recovered from the copy of the fingerprinted digital representation kept at the server. The first and second keys and any decrypted copy of the digital representation are kept in secure storage in the client.

Abstract: An efficient free-piston internal-combustion engine (802, 811, 832, 14, 114, 314, 614) having an expansion ratio greater than the compression ratio. The engine has a gas bearing (804, 813, 831) and an exhaust temperature in excess of 600 °C which are used to operate as a topping cycle for gas turbines, Stirling engines, steam engines, etc. An improved valving system for flexible control of the engine may include the use of a valve actuator (28, 32, 132, 410, 616) in a piston. In one embodiment, a pair of oppositely disposed combustion chamber passageways each have a combustion-chamber valve (132, 410) for controlling the passage of gas through the passageways. Variable control of the piston positions at which the valves are opened and closed permits the engine to operate at a high efficiency over a broad range of power output loading conditions. In another embodiment the combustion chamber and a gas compressor are combined in the same cylinder.
