Title: Reporting purchase of content decrypted via key-sharing
Inventor: SOLOW HILLEL
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2012-08-29
Abstract: A method for distributing information includes distributing an item of encrypted information to a plurality of clients and distributing respective key-shares to the clients, such that each client will require a key-share that has been distributed to at least one other client in order to reconstruct a key for decrypting the encrypted information. Upon receiving from a first client a report that a second client requested and received a respective one of the key-shares from the first client, a record of a delivery of the item to the second client is made responsively to the report. Enables clients to download encrypted contents whilst on-line and purchase access to them whilst off-line simply by obtaining a key share from a nearby trustworthy client(s) using a local communication link such as BluetoothRTM. Both the trustworthy client(s) and purchasing client notify the content server of sharing of the key, thereby ensuring successful billing for the content even if the purchasing client has been hacked. May also be used for purchasing content whilst on-line.

Title: Confirming input intent using eye tracking
Inventor: JANG SOOBAEK
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2012-12-03
Abstract: A tool for detecting potential unintentional user input by verifying a user selection based on the location of the user   s gaze and the location of the user selection and combining these input sources to validate the selection. Eye tracking technology is used to keep a record of where on a display a user is looking or if the user is even looking at the display, where the display may be a connected external monitor or an incorporated display screen such as used in tablet computers and smart phones. When input, such as a mouse selection with a cursor or pointer or a tap on a touch screen with a finger is received, the location of the selection is compared to a location of the user's gaze around when the selection was made. If the gaze location is outside of an acceptable range from the selection location, it is determined that the selection may have been in error and the selection is disregarded or a confirmation is requested of the user.

IPC: F16L1/12
Filed: 2014-01-15
Abstract: A method of transporting a rigid tie-in connection 10 (such as jumpers or spools) across a body of water for installation underwater. The method comprises: supporting the tie-in connection in the water by buoyancy 30, acting on a frame 12 that supports the tie-in connection until installation; lowering the buoyancy supported frame and the tie-in connection into a sub-surface transit configuration (figures 2-3); and in the transit configuration, towing the buoyancy-supported frame and the tie-in connection behind a towing vessel 38 toward an installation site. A second embodiment discloses a system where a towable frame supports the tie-in connection and external buoyancy attached to the frame by an extensible suspension link 32 suspends the frame from the external buoyancy in water in use. The link lowers the frame into the sub-surface transit configuration. The frame may either have on-board buoyancy via a ballast compartment to produce positive buoyancy, or the frame may have negative buoyancy and be supported by the external buoyancy. The frame may be lowered by either releasing detachable buoyancy units 28, or by flooding a compartment within the frame.
