Title: Security authentication and key management within an infrastructure-based wireless multi-hop network
Inventor: ZHENG HEYUN
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2007-07-26
Abstract: A system and method of security authentication and key management scheme in a multi-hop wireless network is provided herein with a hop-by-hop security model.

Patent CA-2673319-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOHN SHELDON C E
IPC: A01K63/04
Filed: 2009-07-20
Abstract: A sump reactor hub utilizes a zoned plenum system to organize supply, drain, and/or recirculation through one or multiple reactor vessels, purposed for filtration and/or augmentation of aquarium water. Each plenum zone comprises complete and partial sub-plenum partitions which direct the passage of aquarium water through all requisite stages of a given reactor system. Controlled hydrological communication between each reactor and its respective sub-plenum zone is achieved through a given pattern of access points; self-sealing gaskets; and plenum/reactor connectors. Undesirable hydrological communication is contained by the appropriate usage of plug and/or valve assemblies. Each reactor may be completed by a dedicated outlet or drainage assembly connected via the same plenum system if not intrinsic to the actual reactor construction. The present invention organizes all hydrological services within a zoned plenum system as a means to allow for modular manipulation of any given aquarium filtration strategy. To this end a disparate variety of reactor types are described to complete this modular filtration system. Such reactors are purposed to address all forms of chemical, biological, and mechanical filtration/augmentation of aquarium water.
Patent CA-2673676-A1 (CA)
Title: Methods and apparatus for supporting content distribution
Inventor: BENYA ROBERT
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2007-12-21
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting content delivery service are described. In accordance with the invention content can be supplied to temporary storage of a regional or local server used to supply the content to a customer's premises when the requested content is not already available in the regional or local server. A content server hierarchy may be implemented with servers higher up in the hierarchy including more content, e.g., titles, than the number of titles stored in the lower level servers. By storing less frequently accessed content in servers higher in the hierarchy and frequently requested titles lower in the hierarchy, a vast number of titles can be supported without overburdening the storage available at local and regional servers. In addition, a national or other server high in the hierarchy can be used to store, move, and distribute local or other content as part of an on demand service.
