Title: Apparatus for transporting pollution from a body of water
IPC: A01D46/00
Filed: 2014-03-14
Abstract: A floatable-material harvester is disclosed, including a vacuum source, transport hose, and a floatable-material receiver. In one embodiment, the transport hose has at least one air inductor/intake along its length, which allows air to enter the transport hose to accelerate its contents, by negative pressure air induction. In another embodiment, a transport hose has at least one floatable-material thruster along its length, comprised of at least one nozzle, which provides pressurized fluid (e.g., air or water) in the direction of the flow of the harvested floatable material by positive pressure induction. A method is disclosed whereby the floatable material harvester is used to harvest an absorbent material (e.g., wood chips, straw, perlite, zeolite, polypropylene mesh, titanate nanofibres) that has absorbed a pollutant (e.g., oil, solvent, radioactive isotopes) from a beach or in water.

Title: Communication protocol for secure communications systems
Inventor: SENESE THOMAS J
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2013-02-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus for authenticating a key management message within a secure communication system is provided herein. During operation, a digital signature for message authentication of a Project 25 Key Management Message (KMM) is utilized. In particular, the digital signature will be used to authenticate the KMM in scenarios where there is no Message Authentication Code (MAC). The MAC will be utilized to authenticate the KMM when available. Because authentication of KMMs take place, even when no MAC is available, it becomes increasingly more difficult to tamper or spoof the delivery of encryption keys.

Title: Systeme de joints verticaux et systeme de revetement de surface associe
Inventor: KELL RICHARD WILLIAM
IPC: E04F15/00
Filed: 2012-03-16
Abstract: Un système de joints verticaux (10) destiné à des substrats (12) est pourvu de joints Jm et Jf qui entrent en prise grâce à un mouvement relatif dans une direction perpendiculaire aux surfaces principales (14) et (16) du substrat (12). Ces joints sont conçus pour permettre une rotation relative allant jusqu'à 3 degrés (c'est-à-dire dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre ou dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre) tandis qu'ils restent en prise. Lesdits joints Jm et Jf sont en outre conçus pour former deux plans de verrouillage (18, 20), un sur le côté le plus à l'intérieur du joint et un sur le côté le plus à l'extérieur du joint. L'entrée en prise autour des plans de verrouillage (18, 20) est assurée par des surfaces transversales s'étendant vers l'extérieur Cm1, Cm2, Cf1 et Cf2. Les surfaces Cf1 et Cf2 surplombent les surfaces Cm1 et Cm2. Au moins une surface dans chaque paire de surfaces d'entrée en prise (Cf1 et Cm1 ; Cf2 et Cm2) est légèrement incurvée. Les joints Jm et Jf peuvent être en outre conçus pour créer un troisième plan de verrouillage (74) qui est parallèle aux plans de verrouillage (18, 20) et qui se trouve entre ces plans. Lesdits joints sont désolidarisés grâce à l'association d'une rotation vers le bas d'un joint par rapport à l'autre, et de l'application ultérieure d'une force vers le bas. En raison de ces caractéristiques, un revêtement de sol muni de ce système de joints peut être disposé sur des surfaces secondaires qui présentent des ondulations plus importantes que les normes actuelles de l'industrie mondiale. De plus, on peut remplacer des substrats endommagés en les soulevant verticalement sans avoir besoin de retirer l'excès de revêtement de sol depuis la paroi la plus proche jusqu'aux substrats endommagés.
