Patent GB-201210823-D0 (GB)
Title: Method and system for authenticating messages
Filed: 2012-06-19
Abstract: A method for a receiver of an electronic message to authenticate an identity of a sender of the electronic message. The message contains a one-time security code in the form of a string of characters generated by selecting characters from a sender-side non-repeating pseudorandom string of characters. This is done by applying a user-specific PIN in the form of a first sequence of digits to the pseudorandom security string at the sender by sequentially selecting numerical positions in the sender-side pseudorandom string on the basis of the numbers in the user-specific PIN, taken in positional order, and returning the characters thereby selected from the sender-side pseudorandom string in sequence so as to form the one-time security code. Upon receipt of the message, the receiver correlates the characters in the one-time security code with characters in a receiver-side non-repeating pseudorandom string of characters, identical to the sender-side pseudorandom string, by considering the characters of the one-time security code in sequence and identifying a numerical position of each character of the one-time security code in the receiver-side pseudorandom array to thereby generate second sequence of digits. The identity of the sender is authenticated when the second sequence of digits matches the user-specific PIN.

Title: Desensitizing helicopter control response to inadvertent pilot input
Inventor: ADAMS DON L
IPC: B64C13/04
Filed: 1980-01-16
Granted: 1983-12-15
Abstract: A helicopter having an automatic flight control system including an inner, stability loop is rendered less sensitive to short-term, inadvertent pilot inputs by applying a washed-out derivative of a stick position signal to the inner stability loop in a sense to countermand the pilot action. Using a washed-out signal countermands only short-term rapid stick motions, which may be induced by the pilot actively, but inadvertently, or inactively due to coupling between the pilot or the stick and motion of the fuselage, while permitting purposeful, long-term stick positions to have the full, intended effect.

Granted: 1983-12-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the use of heat taken up at low temperature is disclosed wherein a flow of transfer medium is passed through a low temperature heat source to absorb heat. The flow then passes through multiple, sequential stages of a heat pump which successively increase in temperature whereby the flow picks up heat. The flow then releases heat to the heat receiver and subsequently passes through multiple sequential degassing stages of the heat pump. The flow releases evaporation heat and is cooled to a suitable temperature for use in the low temperature heat source. The heat pump preferably includes a two substance mixture provided within a two portion, hermetically sealed chamber.

Title: Method for the continuous rectification of an alcohol-containing liquid mixture
Inventor: HECK GUNTER
IPC: C12H6/02
Filed: 1982-11-02
Granted: 1987-02-05
Abstract: A process for continuous rectification of a liquid mixture containing alcohols, particularly a liquid fermate, employs a plurality of distillation columns to which the liquid mixture is fed in parallel, and which have successively reduced operating pressures and temperatures from an initial one to a final one thereof. The top vapor distillate from the higher-pressure columns supplies driving heat to the sumps of the next successively lower-pressure columns. Direct steam at 130 DEG  C. to 160 DEG  C. is fed to the sump of the column operated at the highest pressure. Direct steam is generated by indirect heat exchange of water with the top vapor withdrawn from the columns, and the resulting direct steam is fed to the sumps of the next-lower-pressure columns. The apparatus can also include a section for the production of absolute alcohol.
