Abstract: An apparatus and a method whereby plasma integrity of plasma contained in a blood bag is rapidly and accurately assessed without compromising the sterility of the plasma, or destroying any of its components. This is achieved through spectral data which is used in a novel way so as to determine if a plasma specimen representative of plasma in a blood bag contains interferents and if so, to what extent. The apparatus and method analyse plasma contained in two bags whereby tubing connects the two bags. A lamp is used to irradiate the specimen, and a spectrophotometer is used to measure radiation from the specimen. The apparatus and method allow for determination where both the bags and tubings are translucent and contain writing on their surfaces (e.g., proprietary information), and the light is transmitted through the writings, plastic, and the plasma contained in the bag or tubing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing trunking support in a network device is provided. According to one aspect of the present invention, a network device includes at least one port that is configured to be included in a trunk. The network device also includes a memory for storing a forwarding database. The forwarding database includes entries containing therein forwarding information for a subset of network addresses. The network device further includes a learning circuit. The learning circuit is coupled to the trunked port and the memory. The learning circuit is configured to modify the forwarding database to reflect an association between the trunked port and a first address contained within a packet received by the trunked port. If the trunk is of a first type, the learning circuit updates the forwarding database based upon a trunk designator corresponding to the trunk; otherwise, the learning circuit updates the forwarding database based upon a port designator corresponding to the trunked port. According to another aspect of the present invention, a packet is received by a network device on one of its input ports. The packet contains therein header information including a destination address. A forwarding database is searched for the destination address. If the destination address is not found in the forwarding database and the output trunk is coupled to a network device of a first type, then load balancing is performed to assure the packet is forwarded to only one port of the output trunk. However, if the output trunk is coupled to a network device of a second type, then the packet is forwarded to all ports of the output trunk.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a random signal generator (10) comprising means (11, 12, 13) for converting an electronic noise (N, N1, N2) into a logic signal (RS) whose value depends on the random fluctuations of the electronic noise (N). According to one embodiment, the generator (10) comprises at least two delay lines (11, 12) having initially balanced time constants (T). The two delay lines (11, 12) receive a pulsed reference signal (Hr) at input and at least one of the delay lines (11, 12) receives an electronic noise (N1, N2) causing its time constant (T) to fluctuate (DELTAt). The temporal lag between the two pulsed signals (S1, S2) is detected by a circuit (13) delivering a logic signal (RS) whose value is a function of the relative lag between the two pulsed signals (S1, S2). Advantageously, the electronic noise (N1, N2) is a differential noise taken at two points (GND1, GND2) of a ground plane or two points (PV1, PV2) of an electrical supply plane.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un navire comprenant une coque (1) et un puits de tourelle cylindrique (3). Le navire est capable de giration autour d'une tourelle géostationnaire (4) située dans le puits de tourelle. La tourelle supporte au moins un pivot (7). Selon l'invention, la paroi intérieure (10) du pivot est reliée à un organe d'entraînement de giration (18) qui peut ainsi être de taille réduite, et qui permet de faire porter directement sur la tourelle tout le poids du pivot. Selon une réalisation, la paroi intérieure (10) du pivot considéré, de préférence les parois intérieures d'un empilement de pivots, est reliée via un palier (17), à une structure de support de pivot présente sur la tourelle. L'organe d'entraînement de giration (18) est conçu pour une rotation des parois intérieures (10) en même temps que le navire. Cela permet de réduire les déplacements relatifs entre le pivot (7) et la tourelle (4) et donc de simplifier le raccord des lignes de tubes grâce à la suppression des lyres de dilatation. Etant donné que le poids du pivot porte sur la tourelle, la structure de rotation et de support de tube n'a pas besoin d'être de grandes dimensions. Selon une seconde réalisation, les parois extérieures de l'empilement de pivots sont en liaison fixe avec la tourelle. Cela permet de se dispenser d'organes d'entraînement de giration pur les parois extérieures.

Abstract: A technique for generating, for a given message to be signed, an authentic cryptographic signature that can be authenticated, by a recipient of the signed message, as having originated from a signor of the message; and appropriately authenticating such a signature. Specifically, this technique, given a message, such as, e.g., a numerical product copy identifier (83, 93), forms an authentic signature (87, 97), based on public-key cryptosystem, through use of generator value selected from points on an elliptic curve over a finite field. The authentic signature is generated using the generator value in conjunction with three keys; namely, a public key, a private key and a secret key, and thus substantially increases the security associated with cryptographic signatures generated through a conventional two-key public-key cryptosystem. A unique product copy indicia can be formed by concatenating the identifier, for a given product copy, with its corresponding authentic signature. During subsequent user installation of that copy to a computer (200), the user enters the indicia when prompted by execution of an installation program which, in turn, privately authenticates the signature contained in the indicia in order to continue or prematurely terminate the installation.
