Title: Automatic delivery method selection for secure electronic mail/messages based on sender and receiver preferences
Inventor: COOK DAVID P
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2004-03-18
Abstract: Secure delivery of messages/mail in a communication system, wherein the best method for delivery of a message is determined by at least in part considering preferences of a sender and a recipient and sending the message from the sender to the recipient using the identified method. The preferences may relate to whether the users prefer direct delivery, gateway delivery or delivery via a messaging centre. An order may also be determined from among a plurality of available delivery methods, and the message delivery may be attempted in accordance with the determined delivery order preferences until the message is delivered successfully or all available delivery methods have been attempted. Further embodiments relate to (1) (Fig. 2) secure delivery of messages wherein at the sender; a public key is located for the recipient or recipient gateway; if none is found the message is delivered to a message centre for delivery to the recipient; or if a public key is located, encrypting the message and sending the message to the recipient directly or through the recipient gateway. (2) (Fig. 3) Sending a secure message from a sender to a recipient wherein the message is intercepted at/redirected to a gateway between the sender and recipient; a public key is located for the recipient or recipient gateway; if none is found then the message is delivered to a message centre for subsequent delivery to the recipient; if a public key is located, encrypting the message at the gateway and sending the message to the recipient either directly or through the recipient gateway. (3) (Fig. 4) Secure delivery of a message from a sender to a recipient wherein the sender composes a message and sends it to a message centre, the message centre tries to locate a public key for the recipient or recipient gateway, if no key is found the message is stored in a message store and an indication is given to the recipient that a message is available for pick-up at the message centre; alternatively if a public key is located, the message is encrypted at the message centre and sent to the recipient directly or through the recipient gateway.

Title: Private branch exchange back-up system
Inventor: SUZUKI YASUNORI
IPC: H04L45/586
Filed: 2004-06-11
Abstract: The back-up device for an IP-PBX of the present invention is connected to each network. The private branch exchange is connected to an individual network to manage and hold the entire terminal device. The back-up device holds each terminal data of a group of terminal devices in a connected network. As a result, when connection management by the private branch exchange develops a failure, the back-up device secures connection management in the network to which the backup device is connected. When the network or the private branch exchange itself develops a failure to disable control of an accommodated IP terminal, this arrangement enables the IP terminal to resume operation by temporarily shifting control of the IP terminal to the back-up device side, thereby minimizing stop time.

Title: Correct fuel filling device
Inventor: VINCENT RICHARD
IPC: B60K15/04
Filed: 2004-10-30
Abstract: A device that fits into or forms part of a vehicle's original fuel filling pipe 1 and ensures only fuel with the correct Specific Gravity reaches the fuel tank 14. Fuel from a filling station pump nozzle 2 is introduced into the filling pipe, flows over the top of a baffle 3 and causes a differential float 9 to rise if the fuel is heavier than the float (e.g. diesel). The float remains stationary if the fuel is lighter than the float (e.g. petrol). The differential float is made to completely seal the slots in the fuel delivery tube 8. If the fuel delivery tube is located with the slots at the bottom only diesel fuel will flow through the device. If the delivery tube is located with the slots at the top only petrol will flow through the device.

Title: Using One-Time Pad (OTP) data to evidence the possession of a particular attribute
Inventor: HARRISON KEITH ALEXANDER
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2006-09-20
Abstract: A method and system are provided for evidencing to a first entity (20), such as a visa-checking/passport authority, that a second entity (10), such as a traveller, possesses a particular attribute, such as right of entry to a specific country. The method involves a preliminary phase of verifying that the second entity (10) is entitled to the attribute of interest; associating that attribute with a first one-time pad (87) held by the first entity (20); and arranging for the second entity (10) to possess a second one-time pad (87) that is at least a subset of the first one-time pad. Thereafter, when the second entity (10) wishes to prove to the first entity (20) that it is entitled to the attribute of interest, it passes evidence data derived from the second one-time pad (87) to the first entity (10). The first entity (20) can then check for the presence, in the first one-time pad (87), of data matching, or usable to produce, the evidence data.
