Title: Ephemeral key system which blinds a message prior to forwarding to encryption/decryption agent with function which can be reversed after en/decryption
Inventor: PERLMAN RADIA J
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2004-09-14
Abstract: An encryption system wherein decryption is performed by a server on behalf of a client in order to ensure that ephemeral keys are properly managed and deleted when appropriate. In order to prevent the server from accessing the plain text of the messages that it is decrypting, a reversible blinding function (R) is applied to the encrypted message (302) before it is forwarded to the server (304). The server then decrypts the encrypted and blinded message as usual using ephemeral keys (306). The still blinded message is then returned to the client (308) which undoes the blinding and thereby accesses the plaintext (310). The system is applicable to RSA public/private keys schemes.

Title: Method of moulding a plastics article by injection compression moulding
Inventor: CLARKE PETER REGINALD
IPC: B29C45/76
Filed: 2005-06-06
Abstract: A method of moulding a plastics article with a non-circular base comprises the steps of providing a mould cavity 30 of the same shape as the article between relatively movable mould parts 32 and 34. A first pressure is applied to close the mould and then a predetermined amount of plastics material is injected into the base of the mould which is sufficient to form the finished article. The injection pressure causes the mould parts to separate against the action of the applied first force whereby the injected material spreads to cover the entire base of the cavity at which point a second greater force is applied to close the mould cavity fully by moving the mould parts relative to one another. The second force is sufficient to cause the injected plastics material to flow into wall sections of the mould which extend from the perimeter of the non-circular base.

IPC: H04N5/915
Filed: 2005-11-02
Abstract: A surveillance system having auto-adjustment functionality is described. The surveillance system includes a motion detection module and a video processing module. The motion detection module detects real-time video data and determines whether the video data is in a motion status. When the real-time video data is in the motion status, the video processing module records the real-time video data into a storage medium with a first resolution. When the real-time video data is not in the motion status, the video processing module records the real-time video data into the storage medium with a second resolution. The resolution may be varied by altering a compression rate or a frame size or the video data may be stored with two different frame rates dependant on motion detection.

Title: Measuring rate of permeation
Inventor: NOERENBERG HOLGER
IPC: G01N15/08
Filed: 2006-03-30
Abstract: The rate of permeation of a gas or vapour through a test sample is measured with the gas container detachable from the sensor. The gas container 1 consists of upstream and downstream chambers 2, 3 separated by the test sample 4. Both chambers 2, 3 may be initially evacuated by vacuum pump 5. The upstream chamber 2 is then filled via valve 6 with a gas or vapour from a filling facility 9. The pressure p(t) in the downstream chamber 3 is monitored by pressure sensor 10, and recorded. To estimate the rate, of permeation one or more points of the p(t) can be used as input for a mathematical fitting procedure. Using just the stating pressure and one point at a suitable time allows the gas container with the test sample to be detached from the sensor, eg by means of fittings 11, 12, to enable an increased sample throughput. A collection chamber (21, fig.2) may be connected to the downstream chamber 3 and a reservoir chamber (23, fig.3) may be connected to the upstream chamber 2. The downstream chamber 3 may be kept constantly under vacuum (fig.4). The pressure in the upstream chamber 2 may be varied by a volume changing device eg bellows (52, fig.5).
