Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transmitting and receiving an uplink state flag (USF) in a cellular network. A base station may transmit the USF to plurality of mobile stations that share the same frequency channel, and each mobile station can use the USF to determine whether that mobile station can transmit data in an upcoming uplink time period. The base station can encode the USF bits into a plurality of encoded USF symbols, where the encoded USF symbols may be selected from corner signal points in a QAM signal constellation set or from signal points adjacent to the corners of a QAM signal constellation set. The base station can interleave the encoded USF symbols and modulate the encoded USF symbols for transmission using the signal constellation set. A mobile station that can communication with the base station can include a corresponding receiver, de-interleaver, and decoder.

Abstract: A portable mass storage device for use in two factor authentication systems and methods. A secure portable mass storage device protects content from being freely copied with security mechanisms and firmware. The security functionality also protects confidential user credentials and passwords, as well as algorithms and seeds needed for two factor authentication or asymmetric authentication methods. A client application residing in the mass storage device acts as both a password manager and an authentication manager that seamlessly performs the authentication procedures in the background while signing a user into various institutions of his choosing. A very high level of security is integrated into a mass storage device the user has for purposes other than two factor authentication, and the convenience of highly secure password management also comes in a convenient pocket sized package easy for the user to transport. This facilitates the acceptance of two factor authentication, and increases security for a wide variety of online transactions.

Abstract: A video stream is encoded with a prediction mode of which a picture later than an I picture in the display order is predicted from a picture earlier than the I picture in the display order and recorded on a record medium so that the video stream reproduced from the record medium is randomly accessible. When a video stream is encoded, the prediction mode of which a picture later than an I picture in the display order is predicted from a picture earlier than the I picture in the display order is prohibited. In addition, EP_map that correlates reproduction time information of an I picture to a packet number of the I picture is created and recorded on the record medium along with a packetized encoded stream. When the video stream is reproduced, EP_map is searched for a packet number corresponding to a designated reproduction time. Corresponding to the obtained packet number, decoding of an encoded stream reproduced from the record medium is controlled. As a result, a random access reproduction designated with a reproduction time is assured.

Abstract: A dispenser for pasty products has a cylindrical body with an open bottom and an outlet in its top. A piston that closes the bottom of the body, cooperating with it to define a chamber, is slidable upward in the body for expelling contents of the chamber out of the outlet. An actuator on the exterior of the body, movable in opposite directions, is manually movable to one limit of its motion and biased to the other limit. A rod connected with the actuator and movable lengthwise up and down in the body has a unidirectional driving connection with the piston that constrains the piston to move upward with it but allows it to move down relative to the piston. A check valve associated with the outlet opens to allow discharge of chamber contents but closes to block flow into the chamber, thus enabling atmospheric pressure to hold the piston against downward motion. Several advantageous unidirectional connections are disclosed.
