Patent CA-2575292-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OSBORN JOYCES A
IPC: A61C5/00
Filed: 2005-07-15
Abstract: A teeth whitening device having a lens which fits against the teeth. The lens has a casing containing a plurality of light emitting diodes which project light into the lens. The lens filters the light to produce a 430 to 450 nanometer blue light which is projected onto the surface of the teeth. When carbamide peroxide is placed on the surface of the teeth the blue light will activate the peroxide to whiten the teeth several shades within one hour without heating or sensitizing the teeth. The lens has a bite plate which a user bites down on to keep the lens in position against the teeth, leaving the user's hands free. The device and method are safe enough for use outside the dental office.

Title: Retrieval and transfer of encrypted hard drive content from dvr set-top boxes
Inventor: WASILEWSKI ANTHONY J
IPC: G11B20/00
Filed: 2005-08-12
Abstract: A system and method for retrieval and transfer of encrypted content from a failed set-top box. When content is recorded to the storage device of a set-top box, the content is encrypted with a content instance key. This content instance key is encrypted with the public key of the set-top box and a duplicate of the content instance key is encrypted by another public key other than the public key of the set-top. In the event the set-top fails, the encrypted content on the storage device may be retrieved from the storage device by decrypting the duplicate content instance key with the private key that corresponds with the public key that encrypted the duplicate of the content instance key.
