Title: Elastomeric coupling
Inventor: BARICKMAN JAMES R
IPC: F16D3/68
Filed: 1997-09-10
Abstract: The coupling comprises a metallic outer member 40, a metallic inner member 30 having longitudinally extending flat faces 32 and a silicon elastomer intermediate member 50 having pockets 52 formed therein. Rigid pins 54 extend longitudinally of the coupling between end caps (44, 46 Fig. 2) of the outer member.

Title: Load bearing means in cryostat systems
Inventor: STAUTNER WOLFGANG ERNST
IPC: F25B9/00
Filed: 1997-09-30
Abstract: In cryostat systems, the different vessels contained within each other for housing eg a superconducting magnet, or the cryogenic liquid storage tanks are generally either suspended or supported by each other. The support or suspension systems also fix the internal clearances between radiation shields. The various constraints put onto these support or suspension systems result in an increased input of heat into the cryostat system. A load-bearing support or suspension system which combines two functions, namely supporting or suspending and cooling, comprises at least one pulse tube cooler. The pulse tubes (22-38) may be arranged in series or in parallel, may be single or multi-staged or feature an additional liquefying stage. The pulse tube acts as the suspension or support member, as well as simultaneously cooling any radiation shields connected to it, and at the same time be able to carry magnet loads.

Title: An encryption method for providing data security
Inventor: MITTENTHAL LOTHROP
IPC: H04L9/06
Filed: 1992-08-04
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for nonlinearizing modulo 2 addition based encryption by block substitution techniques which allows use of the substitution scheme with relatively simple hardware and yet makes cryptanalysis more difficult. The basic block substitution, a one to one mapping of n bit binary numbers onto themselves, is based on the fact that certain permutations of the n bit binary numbers define a block substitution by modulo 2 addition of one permuted set of numbers to another, and that a subset of these define equations having an additive relationship when viewed as vectors. This allows the simple changing of the transformation on a frequent basis. Then the equations are nonlinearized, also in an orderly and readily variable manner, so that the remainder of the set equations may no longer be generated from a limited subset of the equations. Various properties of the transformations and methods of using the same are disclosed.
