Title: Content authorisation system
Inventor: ROY ANDRE
IPC: G06F21/44
Filed: 2012-01-23
Abstract: In method and system for authorising multiple devices 56 and multiple content providers 52 in a content provision system, each content provider is issued with a content provider authorisation certificate, and each user device (e.g., video on demand (VOD) television set-top box (STB)) is issued with a user device authorisation certificate, the two certificates for coming from a common source. A determination is then made as to whether each content provider and each user device is authorised to participate in the content provision system (e.g., using software applications (apps) 302) via a mutual exchange and comparison of the certificates between respective content providers and user devices. The content provider and user device authorisation certificates may be rooted in a common root (e.g., self-signed) certificate; a root certificate authority may be identified, with delegated intermediate certificate authorities. Authorisation certificates (unique) can be signed or generated using a root certificate private key. Public key infrastructure (PKI) and public key certificates, OK, may be employed; revoked certificates may be listed.

Title: Shock absorbing mounting for vehicle bumper
Inventor: NGER BENJAMIN BA
IPC: B60R19/34
Filed: 2012-10-17
Abstract: A vehicle bumper arrangement has a bumper bar 10 attached to the vehicle frame or to an intermediate impact frame 16 by one or more arms 20 which deform when a threshold force is exceeded. The arms are curved and preferably extend principally in the vertical direction such that the bumper bar, being above or below its point of attachment to the frame, can move both horizontally and vertically during an impact. The curves in the arms act to localise deformation and absorb impact energy. The arms may be S-shaped and may have a U-shaped cross-section. Preferably, the bumper bar is also attached to the vehicle via brackets at its ends which engage with forward extensions of the impact frame. The bumper bar may be pivotally mounted to the brackets such that it can rotate during an impact.

Title: Control device, control method, and program
Inventor: MUKAI TAKUYA
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 2012-01-27
Abstract: With respect to a remote control (10), when it is determined that a power conservation flag (122) is on, that is, when it is determined that the remote control (10) is operating in a power conservation mode, a monochrome image stored in a reduced-amount image storage unit (110) is set as the image information to be read by a drawing unit (107). The amount of information for this monochrome image is one-eighth the amount of information for a color image stored in a normal image storage unit (109). Accordingly, when the remote control (10) is operated in a power conservation mode, the drawing unit (107) is able to read the monochrome image stored in the reduced-amount image storage unit (110) while consuming less power than when reading the color image stored in the normal image storage unit (109). Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of power consumed by the remote control (10) when the remote control (10) is operated in a power conservation mode.
