Abstract: In a method for protecting digital information, a processor converts a protected address range into a plurality of address blocks of a storage device based on a preset conversion unit, and generates an address block rearranging rule using the address blocks as a parameter. When it is desired to load data into a space of an address batch of the protected address range, the processor converts the address batch into a plurality of address blocks based on the conversion unit, locates rearranged addresses of the address blocks in the protected address range according to the address block rearranging rule, and loads the data into spaces of the rearranged addresses.

Abstract: A method for aligning an image capture device for a print device includes providing a capture stage on which an object to be imaged by the capture device is placed. The capture stage includes a plurality of reference markers spaced apart by a predetermined distance. The reference markers are imaged with the capture device. A distance between the reference markers is measured. A correction difference between the measured distance of the reference markers and the predetermined distance is computed. An angular correction value based on the correction difference is computed. The angular position of the capture device relative to the capture stage is adjusted based upon the angular correction value.

Abstract: A method of assessing a network uses a model (450) having nodes (100, 110) to represent parts of the network infrastructure and the application services, and having links to represent how the nodes influence each other. Dependencies or effects of the application services are found by determining paths through the nodes and links of the model (530). Such assessment can be useful for design, test, operations, and diagnosis, and for assessment of which parts of the infrastructure are critical to given services, or which services are dependent on, or could have an effect on a given part of the infrastructure. The dependencies or effects can encompass reachability information. The use of a model having links and nodes can enable more efficient processing, to enable larger or richer models. What changes in the dependencies or effects result from a given change in the network can be determined (830).

Abstract: A method, system and medium are provided for receiving an incoming call on a target wireless-telecommunications device. A secure communication path is established between a primary device and a nonprimary device, and a proximity-based relationship is created between the primary device and the nonprimary device. The primary device has associated with it a set of user credentials and a set of hardware credentials. When the nonprimary device comes within a threshold proximity of the primary device, the primary device automatically communicates the set of user credentials and the set of hardware credentials to the nonprimary device thereby activating it so that it can receive an incoming call. The primary device is deactivated so that a wireless-telecommunications-network subscriber can only receive an incoming call on one device at a time.

Abstract: A conductive pattern can be formed using a polymeric layer that contains a reactive composition that comprises a reactive polymer that is metal ion-complexing, water-soluble, and crosslinkable. This reactive polymer comprises pendant groups comprising crosslinkable —C(?O)—CR?CR1—Y— groups wherein R and R1 are defined in the disclosure, as well as metal ion-complexing and water solubilizing groups. The reactive composition can be patternwise exposed to suitable radiation to induce crosslinking within the reactive polymer. The reactive composition and reactive polymer in the non-exposed regions can be removed due to their aqueous solubility, but the exposed regions of the polymeric layer are contacted with electroless seed metal ions, which are then reduced. The resulting electroless seed metal nuclei are electrolessly plated with a suitable metal to form the desired conductive pattern.
