Publication number: 20220339310Abstract: An apparatus includes a radiation source configured to emit a radiation along an irradiation volume, and a conveyor configured to drive goods loaded in two or more transport units through the irradiation volume so as to expose a first portion of the goods to the radiation. The transport units may be loaded in totes of a tote height, and the conveyor may be configured to drive the totes. The totes may be arranged on top of one another, and each transport unit may be held in place in a tote by one or more support elements such that a total height of the totes is between 40% and 100% of the tote height, the transport units are loaded in a tote span over at least 70% of the total height, and the total height is centered relative to the tote height within about 20%.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Dominique VINCENT, Frédéric DESSY, Jérémy BRISON, Frédéric STICHELBAUT

Patent number: 7024564Abstract: A method and apparatus for protecting computer software from unauthorized execution or duplication using a hardware key is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a means for communicating with the computer to receive command messages from the computer in the hardware key and to provide response messages to the computer, a memory for storing data for translating command messages into response messages enabling software execution, and a processor coupled to the communicating means for translating command messages into response messages using the data stored in the memory. The processor further comprises a memory manager, including means for logically segmenting the memory storing the data into at least one protected segment, and a means for controlling access to the protected segment.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2002Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: SafeNet, Inc.Inventors: Dominique Vincent Pavlin, Mehdi Sotoodeh, Reed H. Tibbetts, Patrick N. Godding, Alain Raymond Spiewek, Roger Graham Nixon

Patent number: 6581100Abstract: A parameter detection system and method, detects the receipt of a valid communication from an entity, determines the data rate of the communication from the entity, and determines other parameters of the communication from the other entity. The parameter detection circuit configures a precision time generator to provide a timing signal at the appropriate rate to sample data associated with said valid communication, and configure a receiver/transmitter with the determined parameters of the communication.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1998Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: Skyworks Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Pierre Durin, Dominique Vincent, Iyad Hadba, Michael D. Tomlinson
