Patent EP-1427304-A2 (EP)
Inventor: POTTER DANIEL R
IPC: A43B13/18
Filed: 2002-09-18
Abstract: A stability device that increases foot security on the footbed of a shoe, provides lateral or medial stability, shock dampening, and optimizes flexibility. The stability device includes a resilient bladder insert (100) having a horizontal sole portion (102) underneath a wearer's foot, and a vertical foot portion (104) positioned to a lateral or medial side edge of a wearer's foot. The horizontal sole portion and the vertical foot portion are in fluid communication and are proximal the first or fifth metatarsal regions of the foot. The stability device can be generally L-shaped to cradle a portion of the foot. A compression force of a foot landing on the horizontal sole portion causes an increase in fluid pressure in the foot portion which stiffens the vertical foot portion forming a bumper-like wall for absorbing side impacting force from the foot and serving to keep the foot on the footbed. The stability device can include a plurality of finger-shaped elements (804a-804c). The finger-shaped elements can have a stem portion and a bulbous portion, and can expand in one direction and contract in another in response to an increase in fluid pressure therein. The finger-shaped elements can be connected to straps or a vamp that extends over the top of a wearer's foot, the straps and/or vamp being substantially inelastic in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of a wearer's foot, such that, contraction of the finger-shaped elements tightens the straps and/or vamp on the wearer's foot. The finger-shaped elements may encircle the top of the foot and expand down onto the foot due to an increase in fluid pressure therein.

Abstract: A system and method for creating a trusted network capable of facilitating secure transactions via an open network using batch credentials, such as batch PKI certificates, is presented. A certificate is bound to a group, or batch, or devices. This certificate is referenced by an activation authority upon processing a request for service by a device. Information regarding the device batch certificate is maintained in a permanent, or escrow, database. A user identity is bound to a device, as a device key is used to sign a user key created on the device in the presence of the user, and a copy of the device key is later used to decrypt the signed user key upon its transmission and receipt.

Abstract: A prefecture name and names of cities of address index
data of map-data-acquired area are compared with those of address
index data of the whole country. A map name corresponding to
the range of the acquired map data is assigned automatically
to the acquired map data on the basis of a comparison result.
A user can easily identify a map by displaying such map names
in list form or in a like manner. Further, an area whose address
index data include all address index data of a requested
prefecture, a requested city, or the like is calculated, and
map data of that area are delivered. This allows a user to acquire
only necessary map data without the need for performing a
complicated operation of determining an area. Thus it is
provided a map editing-and-displaying apparatus that allows a
user to easily recognize an area of acquired partial map data
when the partial map data have been acquired on an area basis
and that also allows a user to easily identify desired map data.

Abstract: The invention provides an exhaust gas purification device that can
prevent deterioration of the emission during a regeneration process for a
particular filter for trapping particulates contained in the exhaust gas. 
     Particulate filter regeneration timing determining unit estimates
the amount of particulates trapped by the particulate filter to determine
the filter regeneration timing based on the estimated particular amount.
In response to the regeneration timing determination, heating unit heats
the particulate filter to raise an exhaust gas temperature, so that a
particulate filter regeneration process starts. At this time, intake air
amount reducing unit reduces the intake air amount to raise the exhaust
gas temperature while combustion maintaining unit controls the
combustion in the internal-combustion engine so as to be maintained in a
desired condition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system (200) for communicating wirelessly between devices. Wireless communication can be a very appropriate way of interconnecting nearby devices, such as devices located within a home. However, equipping all devices with a wireless transceiver may not be desirable. Furthermore, an ordinary user should be able to connect devices in a straightforward and convenient way. The invention addresses these issues by means of a wireless communication key (250, 260, 270). This is a key-like object equipped with a transceiver. A key can be attached to a device (220, 230, 240) for which a wireless connection is required. A key may have to be powered by the device to which it gets attached and can then establish a wireless connection (280, 282) with another device. The other device is determined by the key used. A key may be associated with a fixed endpoint device (210), permanently equipped with a transceiver (212). Alternatively, a key may be associated with a second key that is to be attached to the other device.
