Title: Method for elaborating a transmission signal and transmitter with amplifying cells for implementing same
Inventor: URSENBACH FRANCOIS
IPC: H04B1/02
Filed: 1999-07-02
Abstract: Transmitter systems in which an output signal is obtained by the summation of signals with predetermined discreet levels given by several amplification cells. Given a signal to be sent with an amplitude A and a phase phi0, a control circuit determines (alpha) a number of amplification cells sufficient to obtain slightly more than the value A with the phase phi0 but to carry out a phase adjustment (beta) such that at least two of the cells are phase-shifted, one in advance and the other delayed with respect to phi0, so that the total sum of the signals delivered by the cells gives the signal A, phi0. Such transmission may find particular application to amplification cell transmitters with discrete output levels.

Title: System and method for accessing protected content in a rights-management architecture
Inventor: DEMELLO MARKO A
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2000-12-13
Abstract: A digital rights management system for the distribution, protection and use of electronic content. The system includes a client architecture which receives content, where the content is preferably protected by encryption and may include a license and individualization features. Content is protected at several levels, including: no protection; source-sealed; individually-sealed (or “inscribed”); source-signed; and fully-individualized (or “owner exclusive”). The client also includes and/or receives components which permit the access and protection of the encrypted content, as well as components that allow content to be provided to the client in a form that is individualized for the client. In some cases, access to the content will be governed by a rights construct defined in the license bound to the content. The client components include an object which accesses encrypted content, an object that parses the license and enforces the rights in the license, an object which obtains protection software and data that is individualized for the client and/or the persona operating the client, and a script of instructions that provides individualization information to a distributor of content so that the content may be individualized for the client and/or its operating persona. Content is generally protected by encrypting it with a key and then sealing the key into the content in a way that binds it to the meta-data associated with the content. In some instances, the key may also be encrypted in such a way as to be accessible only by the use of individualized protection software installed on the client, thereby binding use of the content to a particular client or set of clients.

Title: Charging metal solids into molten metal
Inventor: BROWN WARWICK NICHOLSON
IPC: F27D3/14
Filed: 1993-08-18
Abstract: A furnace (1) has a main holding (2) and a charging well (4) into which molten metal from the holding portion is circulated by means of an electromagnetic pump (7).
