Title: Enabling stateless server-based pre-shared secrets
Inventor: SALOWEY JOSEPH
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2005-01-10
Abstract: A method is disclosed for enabling stateless server-based pre-shared secrets . Based on a local key that is not known to a client, a server encrypts the client's state information. The client's state information may include, for example, the client's authentication credentials, the client's authorization characteristics, and a shared secret key that the client uses to derive session keys. By any of a variety of mechanisms, the encrypted client state information is provided to the client. The server may free memory that store d the client's state information. When the server needs the client's state information, the client sends, to the server, the encrypted state informatio n that the client stored. The server decrypts the client state information usi ng the local key. Because each client stores that client's own state informatio n in encrypted form, the server does not need to store any client's state information permanently.

Abstract: An improved process for optimizing the stimulation of an entire target formation of an oil or gas well during fluid treatment is obtained by dividing the target formation (110) into intermediate zones (120, 130, 140) and initiating stimulation in each intermediate zone (120, 130, 140). Once stimulation is initiated in each intermediate zone (120, 130, 140), ball sealers are used to block the casing perforations (150, 160, 170) at the intermediate zone (120, 130, 140) and divert fluids to another intermediate zone (120, 130, 140). After stimulation has been initiated in all intermediate zones (120, 130, 140), the ball sealers are removed from the perforations (150, 160, 170) and treatment of the entire target formation (110) is conducted.
Patent CA-2562886-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOETTGER MATTHIAS
IPC: F01K25/06
Filed: 2004-07-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid working substance flow (13), the pressure of said flow being increased and the flow itself being subdivided into a first partial flow (16) and a second partial flow (17). The first partial flow (16) is partially evaporated with heat from a heat source (20), and the second partial flow with heat from a working substance flow (11) with a low surface tension. The two partial flows are then combined and produce a gaseous working substance flow (10) with heat from the heat source (20). The surface tension of said gaseous flow is reduced and the energy thereof converted into a usable form. The working substance flow (11) with a low surface tension is condensed, thus producing the liquid working substance flows (13). According to the invention, the first partial flow (16) and the liquid working substance flow (13) are essentially at the same temperature. In this way, the heat of the heat source (20) can be better used, thus increasing the efficiency of the cycle.
