Title: Methods for forming holographic stereograms
Inventor: LEE CHAO HSU
IPC: G03H1/08
Filed: 2006-01-31
Abstract: A method for forming a holographic stereogram from plural source data frames comprises dividing the source data frames into plural sections 304, mapping 306 the sections to form plural pre distort images, compensating 308 the predistort images for saturation variation, compressing 312 the pre distort images to form plural holographic elements (hologels), and recording 314 the holographic elements. Alternatively, a method for generating a reference relationship between a pre distort image average pixel level and the predicted pixel brightness in a generated image comprises generating reference source data frames having colour graduation; then, after sectioning, mapping, compressing and recording steps, measuring the brightness of a reference stereogram image and plotting a graph of average pixel value against brightness. Also claimed are methods establishing a weighting factor relationship between one pixel colour component against an average pixel value, as well as a general method for reducing holographic stereogram ghosting by compensating for non linear recording medium characteristics.

Title: Handling orders for an asset
Inventor: BROWN SIMON G
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2007-05-30
Abstract: An electronic trading system and method for matching orders for various asset classes including futures contracts and the subsequent settlement and clearance of such contracts. The electronic trading system is configured to be connected to one or more electronic exchanges and is also configured to interface with the existing infrastructure of the front office software of a trading firm, broker or dealer to provide the best fill for traders by enabling electronic trades to be executed both on the exchange and over the counter. The electronic trading system employs a matching engine which receives orders and sends them to the electronic exchange(s). Subsequent orders which match previous orders are dealt with as over the counter trades and an instruction is sent to the electronic exchange(s) to revise the previous order. Orders which don't match previous orders are sent on to the exchange(s). In one embodiment of the invention, a local order book is established thereby establishing an independent pool of liquidity of the asset class of interest.

Title: Environment based access control to encryption keys
Inventor: CHALLENGER DAVID CAROLL
IPC: G06F21/31
Filed: 2007-11-29
Abstract: The invention uses multiple environments to control access to encryption keys in a computer system having a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). A request for an encryption key and an environment identifier is received from a user of the system. If the encryption key is not associated with the environment identifier, the request is denied. If they are associated, the system receives user-supplied environment authentication data items from the user. Examples of environment authentication data include passwords, user identifiers, user biometric data (e.g., fingerprint scan, etc.), smart cards, and the like. The system retrieves stored environment authentication data items from a secure (e.g. encrypted) storage location to authenticate the user-supplied authentication data items. If the authentication is successful, the user is allowed use of the requested encryption key, otherwise, the request is denied. In order to determine whether the environment identifier is associated with the requested key, the system may check whether the key is associated with a policy and whether the policy is in turn associated with the environment. The authentication data and the encryption keys may be encrypted with a User Migratable Storage Key (UMSK), and the UMSK encrypted with a Storage Root Key (SRK). The invention supports multiple users and migration.
