Title: Transmitting transfer mode information relating to selected MBMS services between RNCs
Inventor: VELDE HIMKE VAN DER
IPC: H04W4/00
Filed: 2007-06-26
Abstract: A method of transmitting information associated with Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Services (MBMS) between nodes, e.g. Radio Network Controllers (RNC) 15a, 15b, in a radio access network 3, e.g. UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN). A second node, e.g. serving RNC (SRNC), transmits information indicating one or more MBMS broadcast services selected by a mobile communications device, e.g. User Equipment (UE) 1c, to the first node. e.g. drift RNC (DRNC), and the first node determines which transfer mode to employ for the one or more MBMS broadcast services in dependence on this information. The invention addresses the implementation of broadcast mode services in a cellular system that allows a UE to communicate with a serving RNC (SRNC) via a drift RNC (DRNC). In particular, the invention relates to the interaction between the DRNC and the SRNC to share information indicating MBMS selected services for a UE.

Title: Bootstrapping configuration for TLS-type data sessions
Inventor: MOREAU THIERRY
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2009-02-06
Abstract: A method is disclosed for bootstrapping a trusted client public key at the server side in a client-server model of e-commerce or distributed computer applications. Generally, the invention integrates security technique elements and user procedural elements in such a way that no vulnerability arises due to the decoupling of elements. It is thus aimed at high security application areas. The readily available support of X.509 client security certificates in web browsers is advantageous for easy deployment at the client side. However, serious usability flaws deter the use of client certificates despite their potential for high security client authentication. The invention circumvents this contradiction at the client registration phase, and extends the benefits of simplified reliance on client public-private key pair to production use of the circumvention. One embodiment relates to: bootstrapping configuration for TLS-type data sessions comprising: procuring a client public key having a private key counterpart; generating at the client a registration cryptogram according to a registration procedure to establish a symmetric secret key, and a second cryptogram that binds said client public key and said symmetric secret key; sending the client public key, said registration cryptogram, and said second cryptogram to a registration server entity; supplying from the client entity identification data elements for the client entity through at least one TLS-type data session instance connected to the registration server entity in which the client entity uses said private key counterpart. Many variations of the inventive idea are disclosed, including the use of a dummy client security certificate that addresses the interoperability pitfalls of the X.509 technology while the trust in the client public key rests on other elements of the method described.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for guiding a person back to a reached waypoint position. The apparatus comprises: a position device comprising a processor, an inertial measurement device (IMD), and memory; a route indication device comprising a visual display device; and a wireless communication interface. The position device is configured to: generate position data based on data received from the IMD, the position data indicating a position of the device within a reference space; store in memory generated position data; identify a reached waypoint position; identify an event position, the event position being a relative position relative to a stored position; and generate route data relating to a route from the event position to a stored position. The route indication device is configured to indicate a route, based on the route data, to guide the person back to a reached waypoint position. The apparatus is particularly suited to assisting a person experiencing an event that impairs the ability of that person to locate a safe position away from the position at which the event occurred, for example, a diver becoming disorientated, or a fireman affected by poor visibility.

Title: Meat processing system with fat content assessment means
Inventor: MCDONNELL DECLAN ARTHUR
IPC: A22C17/00
Filed: 2009-07-20
Abstract: Boneless beef primals from a paced de-boning system (2, fig 1) enter the primal trimming system (3, fig 1). Primals are weighed on a dynamic scale (60, fig 6) so that the de-boning yield can be derived and are sorted by weight ranges based on customer specifications. Weighed primals are transported on an intelligent conveyor (42, fig 1) and diverted into one of eighteen trimming stations (61, fig 1). The operator receives cut identification and butchery information and trims the primal to the indicated specification. Trimmed primal(s) 66, low visible lean trimmings 64, high visible lean trimmings 65, fat 63 and bone (67, fig 8) are placed into individual buffers for that primal.. All products (except bones) are then automatically released from the buffers onto a take away intelligent trimmings conveyor 90 so as to maintain traceability of all products from that primal. The individual products from the trimming station are weighed on a dynamic weigh scale (95, fig 11). Lean trimmings and fat are directed from the main trim conveyor to a fat content control system (96, fig 12) to ensure product sold by percentage of fat is accurate thus maximising output value. Trimmings and fat are conveyed as separate small batches along a conveyor (97, fig 12) through an X-ray tunnel (98, fig 12) which measures fat content to an accuracy of less than 1%. These small batches are then weighed on a dynamic scale (99, fig 12) and fed to a multi-station sorting gate arrangement at which larger batches of defined weight and fat content are built up. These batches are packed into bags, totes or the like.

Title: Phishing/key logging countermeasure compares keyboard input stream to sensitive data and issues alert before data is completely entered
Inventor: COHEN RAM
IPC: G06F21/55
Filed: 2009-09-01
Abstract: The invention creates a database of sensitive personal data (passwords, credit card numbers, passport numbers, etc.) and determines a number of substrings that are shorter than each complete piece of sensitive data. When the user visits untrusted websites202/204the invention monitors each input keystroke and compares the input character string with the sensitive data substrings in the database206. When a match/similarity is found208the invention issues an alert/warning to the user210. Since the substring is shorter than the sensitive data, the warning is issued before the sensitive data is completely input. This provides additional protection against key logging which can capture the sensitive data without the user intentionally transmitting it.

Title: Electric converting apparatus
IPC: H02M7/36
Filed: 1949-04-13
Abstract: 661,304. Converting. FKG. F. KESSELRING GERATEBAU AKT.-GES. April 13, 1949 [April 15, 1948], No. 10081/49. Class 38 (ii). Electric current converting apparatus has the current conversion effected by an electromagnetic quick acting switch with a rectifier connected across the switch contacts, with the current which is to be converted flowing through a winding inductively linked at least partly with the switch magnetic circuit and at least partly with at least one additional magnetic circuit. All or part of the magnetic circuits 5, 21, 31, of an electromagnetic switch, saturable reactor and supply transformer respectively are inductively linked by a winding 50 such that when the current flowing in this winding has a low value the attractive force on the armature 6 is insufficient to cause it to bridge the contacts 8, 9 of the switch. Current therefore flows to the load 40 through the rectifier. As the current increases the armature is attracted and the rectifier shortcircuited. During the negative half-cycles the current to the load is blocked. Such an arrangement shows a saving in copper and a reduction in the size of the apparatus and the voltage drop thereacross over the arrangement in which the items are separate and have individual windings. Other embodiments are shown in which the winding 50 is inductively linked with all or part of only two of the magnetic circuits, e.g. with the switch and reactor &c. The saturable reactor serves to prolong the period of zero current passage and so reduce arcing at the switch contacts. It may also have A.C. at D.C. pre-magnetization. Frequency changing may be effected by converting A.C. to D.C. by means of a converting arrangement as above, functioning as a rectifier and then inverting the D.C. to A.C. by a similar arrangement functioning as an inverter.
