Title: Methods and apparatus for protecting information
Inventor: RABIN MICHAEL O
IPC: G06F21/32
Filed: 2000-05-02
Abstract: Methods and apparatus to enable owners and vendors of software to protect intellectual property and to charge per-use. The system produces a unique ta g for every instance of software. Each user device runs a supervising program that ensures, by use of the tag, that no software instance will be used infringing on the software owner's rights. When installing or using a softwa re instance, the supervising program verifies the associated tag and stores the  tag. When installing or using untagged software, the supervising program fingerprints selected portions of the software and stores the fingerprints. A user device's supervising program periodically calls up, or is called up by a guardian center. The guardian center detects unauthorized use of software by  comparison of current call-up data with records of past call-ups. The guardi an center completes the call-up by enabling or disabling continued use of the monitored software instances.
Patent CA-2369041-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUGAN ANDREW J
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-07-13
Abstract: A network architecture and service platform for providing virtual private network ("VPN") over an ATM network (110). The architecture provides service s for voice, video and data traffic among multiple VPN customers over a shared  ATM network by implementing intelligent control devices (150a) to perform enhanced processing of ATM call set-up messages, including validations and routing translations. Hierarchical routing mechanism provided by ATM, along with customized customer addressing schemes, are used to overlay customer VP Ns (115a) as higher-level networks onto the shared ATM network. The control devices translate customer ATM VPN address to internal ATM network addresses . The ATM switch (120a) network then performs lower-level network processing, using internal network addressing to set-up a virtual connection for a VPN call. The intelligent control devices may also explicitly state the end-to-e nd route.

Title: Rapid thermal processing of heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks
Inventor: FREEL BARRY A
IPC: C10G31/06
Filed: 2000-04-07
Abstract: The present invention is directed to the upgrading of heavy hydrocarbon feedstock that utilizes a short residence pyrolytic reactor operating under conditions that cracks and chemically upgrades the feedstock. The process of  the present invention provides for the preparation of a partially upgraded feedstock exhibiting reduced viscosity and increased API gravity. This proce ss selectively removes metals, salts, water and nitrogen from the feedstock, while at the same time maximizes the yield of the liquid product, and minimizes coke and gas production. Furthermore, this process reduces the viscosity of the feedstock in order to permit pipeline transport, if desired , of the upgraded feedstock with little or no addition of diluents. The method  for upgrading a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock comprises introducing a particulate heat carrier into an upflow reactor, introducing the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock into the upflow reactor at a location above that of th e particulate heat carrier so that a loading ratio of the particulate heat carrier to feedstock is from about 15:1 to about 200:1, allowing the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock to interact with the heat carrier with a residence tim e of less than about 1 second, to produce a product stream, separating the product stream from the particulate heat carrier, regenerating the particula te heat carrier, and collecting a gaseous and liquid product from the product stream.
