Publication number: 20140351580Abstract: A method of requesting and issuing a certificate from certification authority for use by an initiating correspondent with a registration authority is provided. The initiating correspondent makes a request for a certificate to the registration authority, and the registration authority sends the request to a certificate authority, which issues the certificate to the registration authority. The certificate is stored at a location in a directory and this location is associated with a pointer such as uniform resource locator (URL) that is derived from information contained in the certificate request. The initiating correspondent computes the location using the same information and forwards it to other corespondents. The other correspondents can then locate the certificate to authenticate the public key of the initiating correspondent.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2014Publication date: November 27, 2014Applicant: CERTICOM CORP.Inventors: Paul Neil FAHN, James SEMPLE

Patent number: 7535185Abstract: A night vision system comprising a power system having a low voltage unit coupled to a high voltage unit. The low voltage unit includes a low voltage controller and a low voltage table correlating step values to pulse widths, the low voltage controller obtaining a desired pulse width and accessing the table to obtain a step value. The low voltage unit transmits the step value to the high voltage unit using a pulse count modulation format. The high voltage unit includes an opto-isolator for receiving the step value from the low voltage controller and a high voltage controller demodulating the step value. In response to the step value, the high voltage controller accesses a high voltage table correlating step values to pulse width to obtain a pulse width, the high voltage controller generating a control pulse in response to the pulse width.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2005Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Paul Neil Marshall, Craig Boucher

Patent number: 5900280Abstract: A method of treating earthenware bodies to enhance resistance to freezing and to assist the application of decals and the like thereto comprises treating the bodies with a liquid medium containing a water-repellent material such as silicone. In a subsequent drying step, the bulk of the liquid medium is removed while leaving the water-repellent material deposited in the pores of the earthenware body. In this way, subsequent entry of water and freezing and cracking is resisted. It has also been discovered that the treatment also enchances the ability of the earthenware surface to receive decals and the like without the need for glazing and an additional firing step.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1995Date of Patent: May 4, 1999Inventor: Paul Neil MacMullen
