Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a tantalum or niobium
powder which controls releasing and contamination of impurities such as Fe, Ni, Cr, and
Mo, which are derived from a reaction vessel, to a range in which characteristics of
tantalum or niobium are not influenced. The method for producing a tantalum or
niobium powder of the present invention is a method in which a metal salt containing
tantalum or niobium is reduced in a diluent salt to obtain a tantalum or niobium powder,
wherein a total percentage ofmoisture in the metal salt and the diluent salt is 0.2% by
mass or less, as determined by the karl Fisher method based on an amount of moisture
generated by heating the metal salt and the diluent salt to 600°C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of securing the updating of software programs of numerous decoders, which is based on the generation of a signature using an asymmetric private key.  A decoder is updated by downloading a data block comprising a patch and the signature thereof from a management centre, said block being stored in a random access memory.  The signature is decrypted with a current public key from a list contained in a first non-volatile memory of the decoder and, subsequently, verified.  In the event of a match, a command initiates the installation of the patch in a second non-volatile Flash memory and the deactivation of the current key.  The purpose of the invention is to reduce considerably the impact of the discovery of a private key by a systematic analysis of the decoder software operation or to increase significantly the time and means required for the process used to determine same.
