Title: Renewable traitor tracing
Inventor: LOTSPIECH JEFFREY BRUCE
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2006-09-11
Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product to renewably prevent traitors in a broadcast encryption system from re-using compromised keys. A license agency assigns individual receivers a set of Sequence Keys preferably at manufacture, and assigns Sequence Key Blocks (SKBs) to protected content files to be distributed. The files may be distributed on prerecorded media and typically include several file modifications . The particular modifications in a pirated version of a file can help identify which traitors contributed to its theft. SKBs assigned to new files distributed after traitors have been identified cannot be usefully processed using the compromised keys employed in previous content piracy. Innocent receivers that happen to have compromised key(s) in common with traitors can use a replacement uncompromised Sequence Key from the set to usefully decrypt content. Traitors will however step through all their Sequence Keys without reaching one that will work.

Patent CA-2628533-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CAWLEY PETER
IPC: G01N29/24
Filed: 2006-09-14
Abstract: An apparatus and method for ultrasonic non-destructive testing provides an elongate strip of ultrasound transmissive material coupled at a proximal end to an object under test. The elongate strip has a transverse cross-section with a width and thickness giving an aspect ratio greater than unity and matched to the ultrasonic transducer such that excitation induces a substantially non-dispersive ultrasonic signal to propagate along the elongate strip to the proximal end and to enter the object under test. These non-dispersive pulses are particularly suited for time-of-flight measurements, thickness measurements, crack measurements and the like. The elongate strip helps to separate the transducer from a potentially hostile environment associated with the object under test. The elongate strip also has a large area of contact with the object under test allowing efficient transmission of energy into the object under test.

Abstract: Enhanced frame preambles facilitate co-channel co-existence in a wireless communication environment by having at least one preamble characteristic that connotes channel-sharing information regarding the wireless communication environment. In an exemplary embodiment, a downlink subframe is received in one or more wireless communication signals in a wireless communication environment. A preamble is detected in the downlink subframe, and at least one characteristic of the preamble is ascertained. Channel-sharing information for the wireless communication environment is determined based upon the at least one characteristic of the preamble.  In another exemplary embodiment, a channel is scanned to detect secondary preambles being transmitted on the channel. A current preamble configuration, including a permutation of preamble location and preamble content corresponding to the secondary preambles, is determined, which connote channel-sharing information.  A next available preamble location may be adopted based on the current preamble configuration.
