Patent CA-2434538-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HART JOHN J III
IPC: G11B23/28
Filed: 2001-12-12
Abstract: The present invention involves the modification of optical media (63,69,72) such that selected portions (57-62,64-68) of the media are physically altered, in order to distort and/or attenuate the transmission of such optical signal to a predetermined degree. This slows the copying process to a desired extent by creating media that generates measurable changes in the system's timing and performance related to how and when data is read in standard optical media rives copying devices, in a fashion that makes the process of copying the media more time consuming and difficult, as a deterrent to any such copying.  The present invention can create instances of optical media that have uniquely identifiable attributes, whose properties are not encoded as data. These properties form a media signature that may be calculated as a metric of optical media drive and/or system and subsystem performance. The principal benefit of these identifying attributes is that since they are induced by physical means, a purely data-driven bit-for-bit copy of a disc cannot represent all of the necessary attributes inherent in the original disc.

Title: Rotary object feeder
Inventor: MATHIJSSEN ALBERTUS THEODORUS
IPC: B31B50/80
Filed: 2003-07-09
Abstract: A rotary object feeder comprises a sun member having a sun axis and being rotatable about a sun axis of rotation at a rotational speed of W1. The feeder also has a planetary member mounted for connection to the sun member, the planetary member having a planetary axis located at a constant distance X from the sun axis. The planetary member is rotatable about the planetary axis of rotation and is also mounted for rotation around the sun axis with the sun member. The planetary member is rotated about the planetary axis at a rotational speed of W3 which is opposite in direction to W1. N pick-up members are mounted on the planetary member, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 3. The pick up members are rotatable with the planetary member about the planetary axis and rotate with the planetary member around the sun axis. The pick-up members are driven about the planetary axis and the sun axis such that the pick-up locations of the pick-up members follow a common cyclical path having M  apexes, wherein M = (N+1), and W3 is equal in magnitude to (M/N) x W 1.

IPC: G11B19/12
Filed: 2002-01-25
Abstract: Methods for manufacturing optical discs with purposefully provided errors therein are disclosed, wherein the error instances can be used to identify the authenticity of the optical disc. Additionally, methods for determining the authenticity of an optical disc are disclosed, wherein values derived from descriptors of errors found on the disc (536) are compared with corresponding known values indicative of an authentic disc (540) for determining whether the disc was legitimately manufactured or not (548). Such methods may utilize errors that are correctable, uncorrectable, trackable, and/or untrackable. An end user (or the end user's optical reading laser) may be instructed to purposefully alter a portion of the disc in a predetermined manner (516) so that an unauthorized copy of the disc is easily discoverable by, e.g., activation of an authentication program on the disc or accessible via a network such as the Internet (508). Embodiments of the present invention may be used to manufacture optical discs with predetermined limits on the accessibility of the data thereon.

Abstract: In a secure electronic payment, authentication data is sent from a payment account issuer (406) to user software (402) operated by a purchaser. The user software sends the authentication data to a merchant (404) using hidden fields on the Web page of the merchant (404). The merchant (404) generates an authorization request message based upon the authentication data. The authorization request message is sent to a payment organization (408) either directly from the merchant (404) or via the merchant's acquirer. The payment organization (408) forwards the authorization request message to a payment account issuer (406) which verifies the authorization request message, thereby generating an authorization response message which is sent to the payment organization (408). The payment organization (408) forwards the authorization response message to the merchant (404), either directly or via the acquirer.

Abstract: A three-pin skull clamp [10] includes a C-shaped frame [12] which partially encircles the head [18] of the patient, with a spring-loaded single skull pi n assembly [22] located at one end of the frame [12] and adapted to engage the head [18] of the patient with a desired engagement force, and two spaced sku ll pins [30] mounted to a rocker arm [44] located at an opposite end of the fra me [12]. Each of the rocker arm skull pins [30] resides in operative contact wi th an indicator cap [66]held by a spring-loaded pin ca rrier assembly [50], the indicator cap [66] being movable relative to the rest of the pin carrier assembly [50]in response to the engagement force applied to the correspondin g skull pin [30] by the head [18] of the patient. By visibly comparing the positions of the indicator caps [66] relative to their respective pin carrie r assemblies [50], one can readily determine whether the engagement forces are equally distributed between the two rocker arm skull pins [30]. If the indicator caps [66] show significantly unequal load distribution, the rocker arm [44]can be pivotally adjust ed to produce a rocker arm orientation which results in a more equal load distribution on the two spaced rocker arm skull pins [30].

Abstract: An electronic apparatus (1) supported against a dog's skin to control vocalizing by the dog electronically converts the vocalizing into a sequence of signals representing frequencies of the vocalizing, and operates a controller to determine if each measured frequency lies within any of a plurality of predetermined frequency sub-ranges and if so, increments cumulative totals of the frequencies which lie in the sub-ranges, respectively, to provide a plurality of cumulative totals that represent a frequency spectrum of the vocalizing. The controller is operated to determine whether the barking sounds constitute a valid bark by comparing the frequency spectrum to a predetermined valid bark frequency spectrum. Appropriate aversive stimulus signals are produced between fast and second stimulus electrodes if the vocalizing sounds constitute a valid bark.
