Title: Methods and apparatus for continuous control and protection of media content
Inventor: HILL RALPH D
IPC: H04N7/50
Filed: 1999-03-16
Abstract: A novel method and apparatus for protection of streamed media content is disclosed. The apparatus includes control means for governance of content streams or object s, decryption means for decrypting content streams or objects under control of the control means, and feedback means for tracking actual use of content streams or objects. The control means may operate in accordance with rules received as part of the streamed content, or through a side-band channel. The rules may specify allowed uses of the content, including whether or not the content can be copied or transferred, and whether and under what circumstances received content may be "checked out" of one device and used in a second device. The rules may also include or specify budgets, and a requirement that audit information be collected and/or transmitted to an external server. The apparatus may include a media player designed to call plugins to assist in rendering content. A "trust plugin" and its use are disclosed so that a media player designed for use with unprotected content may render protected content without the necessity of requiring any changes to the media player. The streamed content may be in a number of different formats, including MPEG-4, MP3, and the RMFF format.

Abstract: Service providers can reduce multiple overlay networks by creating multiple logical service networks (LSNs) (302, 304, 306 and 308) on the same physical or optical fiber network. The LSNs (302, 304, 306 and 308) are established by the service provider and can be characterized by traffic type, bandwidth, delay, hop count, guaranteed information rates and/or restoration priorities.  Once established, the LSNs (302, 304, 306 and 308) allow the service provider to deliver a variety of services to customers depending on customer's traffic specifications. Different traffic specifications are serviced on different LSNs (302, 304, 306 and 308), depending on each LSN's characteristics. Such LSNs (302, 304, 306 and 308), once built within a broadband network, can be customized and sold to multiple customers.

Title: An apparatus and method for ultrasensitive nanoelectromechanical mass detection
Inventor: ROUKES MICHAEL L
IPC: G01G3/16
Filed: 2002-05-03
Abstract: The invention relates to the application of the techniques of nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) to ultrasensitive mass detection. A pulsed flux of atoms is adsorbed onto the surface of a 32.8 MHz nanomechanical resonator (10) within an ultrahigh vacuum environment. The mass-induced frequency shifts from these adsorbates are then used to demonstrate a mass sensitivity of .sim.1.46x106 Daltons (Da). For resonators (10) operating up to frequencies of 72 MHz, inverse mass responsivities as small as .sim.8x10-20 grams/Hz (5x104 Da/Hz) are obtained. Our results offer a new approach to ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry of individual, electrically-neutral macromolecules with clear prospects for single Dalton sensitivity.
