Title: Infrared measurement of paper machine clothing condition
Inventor: MACHATTIE ROSS K
IPC: G01N21/86
Filed: 2008-10-10
Abstract: Infrared spectroscopy techniques are employed to measure (i) the moisture level in both the sheet of wet stock and the papermaking machine clothing on which the sheet is supported and (ii) the moisture level in the clothing alone as a separate layer of material. Differential measurement thus yields the moisture content of the sheet of wet stock alone. Changes in the moisture level in the clothing at the press section can be correlated with corresponding changes in the quality or physical property of the paper produced. Both fixed point and scanning IR sensors are strategically positioned in the press section to generate machine direction and/or cross machine direction water profiles for process control.

Title: Simple non-autonomous peering environment watermarking, authentication and binding
Inventor: GOELLER KENNETH
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2009-02-11
Abstract: A Secure Non-autonomous Peering (SNAP) system includes a hierarchical digital watermarking scheme, a central licensing authority, licensed fabricators and assemblers. The SNAP environment creates unique instances of a particular media file, and allows users to "build" that instance from other peers according to a well-defined methodology with several layers of protection. This enables a wide variety of content monetization models, including rental, self-through, pay per view, theater, exhibition and electronic self-through to various media types including, but not limited to NAND flash memory, optical media, solid state hard drives, spindle hard drives, etc. These functions may be provided to consumers via secure "swarming" where a file is provided in segments with various peers in the network or in a closed network environment or provide secure electronic distribution for points-of-sale such as kiosks. The SNAP system uses the physical defects inherent in the media to bind content to the media.

Abstract: Remote destination programming enables a user to define a desired destination in advance of a journey. The destination may be stored in a user profile on a remote navigation server. It may be uploaded there via a web interface, or through landline or wireless telecom communications. Subsequently, for example beginning at a rental car agency, the navigation server supports navigation through any of several modes of operation, including a first mode in which the desired destination information is downloaded from the server so as to program target navigation equipment on-board the rental vehicle. In another mode, the user's GPS-enabled communication device interacts with the navigation server to upload periodic location data and receive turn-by-turn directions for the user. In this mode, there is no need for separate on-board navigation equipment to assist the user to the desired location.
