Title: Method and system for mobile device credentialing
Inventor: GEHRMANN CHRISTIAN
IPC: G06F21/34
Filed: 2008-04-07
Abstract: Methods and systems taught herein allow mobile device manufacturers to preconfigure mobile devices for subscription with any network operator having access to a centralized device directory server. The directory server stores device records, each including a preliminary subscription identity. Manufacturers individually provision new mobile devices with these preliminary subscription identities, and network operators preliminarily register subscribers by submitting requests to thedirectory server that cause it to link individual device records with the appropriate credential serveraddresses. Mobile devices gain temporary network access by submitting their preliminary subscription identities, which get passed along to the directory server for verification. In turn, the directory server generates authentication vectors giving the mobile devices temporary network access, and returns the appropriate credential server addresses. The mobile devices use the address information to submit secure requests for permanent subscription credentials, and the involved credential servers securely return permanent subscription credentials responsive to valid requests.

Patent CA-2693691-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WHITEHORN JASON
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 2008-08-20
Abstract: An arrangement for enumerating data, such as media content including music, that is stored on external hard drive-based mass storage devices is provided by a media content processing system that implements a direct mass storage device file indexing process. This file indexing process is configured for finding all files and directories on the mass storage device, and reading through those parts of the files which contain metadata (such as album name, artist name, genre, track title, track number etc.) about the file.  Use of the media content processing system reduces file enumeration time by minimizing the amount of physical movement of the read/write head in the hard disk drive that is used by the mass storage device. This motion minimization is accomplished by reading the clusters of directory and file data in a sequential manner on the hard disk, rather than randomly performing such read operations.

Title: Threaded closure with internal ribs
Inventor: SURIOL JORDI LLUCH
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 2008-08-04
Abstract: An internally threaded plastic closure in accordance with the present invention includes an array of axially extending, circumferentially spaced internal ribs which intersect the internal thread formation of the closure. By this arrangement, vent passages are defined between adjacent ones of the internal ribs, thus providing the closure with desirable gas venting characteristics, while avoiding the provision of vent grooves extending into the inside surface of the closure side wall, which can undesirably impair the strength of the side wall. By the present construction, the amount of polymeric material from which the closure is formed can be desirably reduced, while maintaining the desired dimensional characteristics of the closure, to facilitate use with existing containers and high-speed capping equipment.

Patent CA-2712083-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NICHOLLS ANTHONY
IPC: G06F17/10
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: I describe several techniques for characterizing molecules based on the shapes of their fields. The minimal distance between two molecular fields is used as a shape-based metric, independent of the underlying chemical structure, and a high--dimensional shape space description of the molecules is generated. I then show how these attributes can be used in creating, characterizing, and searching databases of molecules based on field similarity. In particular, they allow searches of a database in sublinear time. Next, I extend the utility of this approach by describing a way to automatically break molecules into a series of fragments by using an ellipsoidal Gaussian decomposition. Not only can these fragments then be analyzed by the shape metric technique described above, but the parameters of the decomposition themselves can also be used to further organize and search databases. The ellipsoidal method can also be used to describe binding or active sites on macromolecules, providing a template for searching for complementary molecules in a database such as I describe. The most immediate application of these techniques is to pharmaceutical drug discovery and design.
