Title: Galois/Counter Mode Advanced Encryption Standard authenticated encrypted messaging with pre-calculation of round keys
Inventor: YUP NHU-HA
IPC: H04L9/06
Filed: 2008-03-11
Abstract: The Galois/Counter Mode Advanced Encryption Standard (GCM-AES) standard is used for sending encrypted messages with message authentication codes (MAC). The encryption and MAC hashing processes involve multiple rounds, each of which uses a round key derived from an initialising key. The GCM-AES standard proposes creating these keys on the fly to minimise memory requirements. The invention pre-generates and stores <B>34</B> the round keys for the GHASH authentication process <B>32</B> using the AES engine <B>31</B>. This reduces the number of operations that must be performed during the en/decryption cycle.

Title: A Stand Mixer with guarding device
Inventor: SEIDLER MARK
IPC: B01F35/60
Filed: 2008-04-19
Abstract: A stand mixer which subjects ingredients in a bowl to a planetary mixing action and which is able to heat the ingredients, includes a guarding device or lid to reduce unwanted egress of steam and/or to prevent ingredients being ejected from the bowl 60. The guarding device comprises a first component or heat guard 70 which is removably attachable to the stand mixer in the vicinity of its planetary drive outlet 44 and a second component or splash guard 80 which is removably attachable to the first component and also to the bowl. The first component 70 is configured to shield part of the stand mixer from heat and the second component 80 is designed to resist unwanted egress of steam and/or to prevent ingredients being ejected from the bowl 60. A user is thus provided with the flexibility of operating the stand mixer with just the first component in place as a heat shield, thereby leaving the bowl open so that steam can escape, or operating the stand mixer with both components in place, in which case the bowl is effectively covered.

Title: Dermatologic treatment lamp with multiple light sources having mutually enhanced brightness
Inventor: ELY DOUG
IPC: A61N5/06
Filed: 2008-05-02
Abstract: A dermatologic treatment device has a first light source 702' emitting a first pulse of optical radiation and a second light source 702'' emitting a second pulse of optical radiation. The two sources are optically coupled such that the second pulse enhances the brightness of at least part of the first pulse upon impinging on the first light source, and preferably vice versa. A timing circuit energizes the first and second light sources to at least partially overlap emission of the first and second pulses. The brightness of preferred wavelengths may be enhanced by a brightness enhancer 704, which can be a wavelength converter doped with quantum dots or a reflector that allows passage of the preferred wavelengths but reflects non-preferred wavelengths back towards the light sources to be recycled. The light is directed onto the skin by a broadband reflector 706 and a waveguide 708.

Title: Adjusting the impedance of an electrochemical sensor
Inventor: VARNEY MARK SINCLAIR
IPC: G01N27/02
Filed: 2009-09-01
Abstract: Method of adjusting the impedance of an electrochemical sensor with interdigitated electrodes 302, 303, 304 of the type made by screen printing on a ceramic substrate 305 a thick-film ink composed of metal or metal oxide powder or particles, glass frit, a temporary organic binder and a temporary solvent; drying to remove the solvent, and firing the composition to fuse the glass frit and burn off the binder. A chemically sensitive organic or polymeric layer 301 is over-coated on the electrodes, which can be tuned to the detection of one or a number of target molecules.

Title: A marker for indicating the presence of a vehicle exterior mirror
Inventor: HALL PHIL
IPC: B60Q1/50
Filed: 2009-11-28
Abstract: An exterior rear view vehicle mirror protector 102 has a clip 104 to allow it to be attached to the door of a parked vehicle. The protector also has a wing 106 joined to the clip by a flexure 108. The wing extends a greater distance from a body of the vehicle than does an exterior rear view mirror affixed to the vehicle, so that passing traffic is warned to avoid collision with the mirror. The flexure allows the wing to flex if struck by the traffic so that the wing can oscillate back and forth. The clip includes a jaw 118 that allows it to be attached to the vertical edge of the door. In one embodiment the mirror is attached to a vertical edge of the door of the parked car, whereby opposing strips of the jaw releasably grip the door.

Title: Improvements in conveyors for coal and the like
IPC: B65G17/02
Filed: 1936-07-23
Abstract: 465,924. Endless belt conveyers. ROTHWELL, N. July 23, 1936, No. 10012. [Class 78 (i)] In conveyers for coal &c. of the type wherein an endless belt or like conveying surface is supported on and driven frictionally by an endless rope &c. which forms a plurality of laps distributed across the width of the conveying surface and passes over a roller or rollers at the ends, the conveyer frame is built up of sections 11, one or more of which can be added or removed to bring the conveyer to any required length. The rope 20 is passed round an intermediate roller 35 to permit of adjustment of the effective length of the rope when sections are added to or taken away from the frame, a smaller number of sections being at the same time removed from, or added to, the part between the roller 35 and an end rope roller 21. The roller 35 may, in addition, be mounted in slot, screw, &c bearings for finer-adjustment of the rope tension. The tension of the belt 13 may be rectified by removing or splicing in lengths of belting, or the frame between the rope roller 21 and the belt roller 14 may be made telescopic. Fig. 6 shows a construction of frame section, comprising sides 10, which may be troughshaped, fitted with pins 28 which enter holes in brackets 30 on short sections 12 which carry the bearings 31 for the intermediate rope-supporting rollers 16. The bearings may be readily removable by knock-out pins 32. The rollers 16 are grooved, and are flared at their ends to give the belt a trough shape, and the rope may be passed completely round some of these rollers where they are situated at the bottom of a shallow V formed by the configuration of the ground &c. on which the conveyer rests. The frame may have horizontally hinged sections to facilitate its adaptation to uneven ground. A weighted tautening roller 41 may bear on the lower laps of rope and belt, and a diagonally arranged brush may be rotated over these laps to clear them of fallen material. Power is conveyed to the rope by an electric motor geared to two rollers about which the rope passes, but it may also be applied to the rope roller 21 or to the roller at the delivery end around which both rope and belt pass. A supplementary conveyer may be arranged to branch from one or both sides of the main conveyer, and may be driven by separate motors or by clutch and reverse gearing from the roller 21, a replaceable or a telescopic connecting shaft being employed.
