Title: Consumable authentication protocol and system
Inventor: WALMSLEY SIMON ROBERT
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2001-02-15
Granted: 2013-07-30
Abstract: This invention concerns a consumable authentication protocol for validating the existence of an untrusted authentication chip, as well as ensuring that the authentication chip lasts only as long as the consumable. In a further aspect it concerns a consumable authentication system for the protocol. A  trusted authentication chip has a test function; and the untrusted authentication chip has a read function to test data from the trusted chip, including a random number and its signature, encrypted using a first key, by comparing the decrypted signature with a signature calculated from the decrypted random number. In the event that the two signatures match, it returns a data message and an encrypted version of the data message in combination with the random number, encrypted using the second key. The test function operates to encrypt the random number together with the data message using a second secret key, compare the two versions of the random number encrypted together with the data message using the second key. In the event that the two versions match, the untrusted authentication chip and the data message are considered to be valid; otherwise, they are considered to be invalid.

Title: Reverse phase control power switching circuit with overload protection
Inventor: HUA JENKIN P
IPC: H02J3/08
Filed: 2003-04-15
Granted: 2011-06-07
Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, a reverse phase control power switching circuit for controlling the flow of current through a load from an AC source comprises a sensing bridge in series with the load and the AC source. The conductive state of the sensing bridge is responsive to a pulse generator and a zero creasing detection and overload protection means. Phase control means coupled to the pulse generator determines turn off of the sensing bridge is reset by the zero crossing detection and overload protection means. Responsive to a load current condition exceeding a maximum current caused by an overload or a short, the zero crossing detection and overloading protection network terminates conduction of current through the sensing bridge. The sensing bridge starts conducting current to the load at the beginning of the AC cycle and continues to conduct to a desired AC voltage phase angle or earlier if an excessive current condition caused by an overload condition or a short occurs.

Abstract: A cable assembly (2) includes a cable member (4) and an outer jacket member (6) disposed about the fiber optic cable member in slidable relation. In a preferred embodiment, the outer jacket member is a woven article, made from low friction, synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, Teflon, PEEK, or polyvinylidene fluoride. The outer jacket member (6) serves as a sleeve that extends at least the same length as the cable member (4). In use, the outer jacket (6) carrying the cable member (4) may be attached at one end to a pul l cord or tape (8) that extends through the length of a conduit. A pulling for ce is exerted on the pull cord (8) at a remote end of the conduit, causing the outer jacket member and cable member to be drawn through the conduit. The outer jacket bears most of the force of the pulling action, and the only for ce exerted directly on the fragile cable member is that of friction between the jacket and the cable. This arrangement substantially increases the amount of force and speed with which the cable assembly (2) may be drawn through the conduit, while reducing the amount of friction and eliminating the need for lubricants during the process.
