Title: Establishing a secure communications channel wherein setup messages include information about the level of security on each link they traverse
Inventor: SAITO MAKOTO
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2004-11-04
Abstract: Terminals <B>11</B> and <B>12</B> wish to establish a secure channel between them. Channel setup utilises security apparatus comprising session management servers <B>21,22</B> and/or public key certifying authority <B>30</B> all of which are connected by secure links. Initially terminals <B>11,12</B> establish secure links with session managers <B>21,22</B> using authentication and/or key exchange. They then establish a direct secure channel by transferring key information, possibly public keys, via these secure links and the security apparatus. These setup messages include information about the level of security on each link they traverse (eg whether encryption, authentication, signing were used) in its header. Thus a message arriving at a terminal will include a list of security information about every link it passed through. This information can then be used to decide whether to accept the establishment of the direct secure channel.

Title: Audio data representing vibration/fault characteristics in industrial machines
Inventor: PIETY RICHARD W
IPC: G01M7/00
Filed: 2007-11-01
Abstract: A portable route-based machine data collector stores audio files to supplement associated machine performance data, such as vibration data. The audio files, which may include voice comments, audio segments of raw vibration data, or frequency-shifted components of the vibration data, are stored in the data collector as standard-format digital audio files and are later downloaded to a computer for further analysis. Test personnel can then replay the audio files for data analysis personnel to get second opinions regarding whether machine faults may be indicated by the recorded sounds. Also, audio files associated with normal and abnormal machine operation may be saved on the portable data collector and used as baselines or for training purposes. Verbal operating instructions may also be stored as audio files on the portable data collector for replay by test operators in the field. In a case where the portable data collector is an ultrasonic monitoring unit, frequency- shifted (human audible) ultrasonic data may be stored in an audio file in association with non-shifted ultrasonic data.

Title: Dual protocol wireless communication device with two transceiver ICs connected by loop-through circuit
Inventor: CHANG SIMON
IPC: H04B1/40
Filed: 2009-10-23
Abstract: This invention finds application in wireless communication devices which have multiple communication protocols. For example, the device could provide WPAN communication through a protocol such as Bluetooth (RTM) and also WLAN communication using an IEEE 802.11 protocol. Each protocol has its own respective transceiver integrated circuit (IC) 702, 703. Preferably only the main protocol's IC 702 is directly connected to an antenna 704, but the secondary protocol's IC 703 has access to the antenna by means of a RF loop-through connection 707 with the main protocol's IC. Alternatively, a baseband loop-through could be provided (911, Fig. 9, claim 24). In one embodiment (claim 17) the secondary protocol uses a digital interface of the main protocol's IC to access the host. This is achieved by transferring digital signals between the two ICs using second loop-through circuitry 708. The host may be an SDIO host providing multiple function sets. A third loop-through circuit 706 may be provided for use in clock synchronization.
